This is like this. भूः + भुवः + सुवः (bhūḥ + bhuvaḥ +suvaḥ). When we join all the three, it gives rise to भूर्भुवस्सुवः.

It is Kamakodi mandali and not Kamakodi Mutt. They have a separate website. Let us look at the article mentioned in the discussions above which is so full of "logical facts and common sense". The article mentions that ".Tantras like Yoginīhṛdaya explain various meanings of Srīvidyā mantra and none of them talk about the need or requirement for adding a Praṇava at the beginning of the mantra. In fact, it is stressed that the three kūṭas of the mantra, along with the turīya bīja, represent the gross and subtle aspects of the śuddha praṇava" Then why would anybody waste their time in receiving and reciting the mantra instead of simply chanting OM is anybody's guess? Taking the debate further, OM, everywhere is mentioned as the Bija leading to Moksha. Then why Shodasi? What is the need for elaborate initiation rituals and "Tradtitional Sampradayas"? can anybody clarify.

You need to read the article quoted by the other person properly. There is a specific example right there. The Pramanas are quoted very clearly in the article, explained and misinterpretation of the verse from Kularnava Tantra is clarified by pointing to Trikuta Rahasya. Your comments suggest your unfamiliarity with Tantra. Do not discard the view of some of the most respected and scholarly practitioners present today without objective examination. Anyone who reads that article should be doubtless that there is no need to add omkara before sodasi. I am from guhananda mandali and completely agree with the article. Just because someone added om without proper justification does not mean it is the right behavior. There are three people right here stating that om is not added in their lineages. Which lineage adds it? Show me?

Very nice article from Kamakoti Mutt, thanks for link, the author is not thinking emotionally and presenting logical facts, common sense and scriptures. The article is well balanced. We appreciate what Raviji does but we should not blindly accept everything, this is not cheerleading.

"Several Mantras have same tattvam as OM". Can you please enlist the Bijas with the same tattva as OM. Except may be Hrim, no other qualifies. How can any "Knowledgeable Guru" can deviate from the Pramana of Shruti and Tantra literature. If you are comments are specific to the "Om before Shodasi" controversy, please be specific. don't post these kind of half baked comments in a respectable blog like this.

Do not respectfully "disagree", but respectfully participate in the discussion by giving your view point and not something that can be read!And please, I pray and urge you to define "traditional sampradaya".

I respectfully disagree about needing to add OM before all mantras. Several mantras have same tattvam as OM and they dont need extra addition. This is not what any traditional sampradays teaches. Please learn from a knowledagble Guru. I read something related in this web site - http://www.kamakotimandali.com/blog/index.php?p=1388&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1
