The ātma bīja and siddhi mantra prescribed in the tantra manuals are like catalysts that aid in the fruition of the initiated mantra. They by themselves, do not yield beneficial results. If they did, then they would come under the class of japa mantras negating the need to recite the various deity mantras for obtaining myriad results. We should also keep in mind, that unless otherwise initiated explicity by an advanced siddha guru, a mantra does not yield results. In most cases we do not find such gurus (Tripuraghna, Jyoti, Tivra. Lorran, Ravi guruji etc.) and the initiated mantras traverse a much longer timeline to bring beneficial results. Even so, in most cases we only gain a 0.01% of the results as revered Jyoti mentioned. To unlock greater benefits, a much greater practice and revelation of the deity̍'s secrets become necessary. The bottomline is, there are no shortcuts in mantra japa and it is a long drawn out process.

If it helps, try and perform your sādhana in front of your guru. It is also essential to follow prāṇāyāmā, bhūtaśuddhi etc, along with nyāsas for a higher quality sādhana. If you do not have a guru, then focus on the meaning of each of the attributes of the sahasranāmāvalī. You can start from the start and focus on a few nāmas on a daily basis.

Guruji I chant lalita sahasranam daily from 3 weeks and bala mantra from 5 months but my concentration is very weak I am unable to fructify anything whatever I start are all left unfinished from my childhood or I fail, how can I be more faithful and accept that everything even my failure is happening with maa lalita's wish and head on with my sadhna

Dear Krishna ji, very nice. And could you tell in detail about siddhi mantras? As dear Sriguru SriSriAnandAnandanatha spoke, a certain mantra with atma bija is a siddhi mantra. Or, for example, as hon. Tripuraghna wrote, "this or that stotra (when a chanting person is in need) can be chanted with no nyasa, kilaka etc., - even without diksha! - because it is a siddha mantra". Or, in the comment to Devi Mahatmyam : " this chapter contains powerful siddhi mantras for guard and prosperity" etc etc. What are the similarities and differences between these concepts? Could you explain the general concept of "siddhi mantra" and its particular applications?

If you wish to, you may do so. It is not necessary that it must be repeated in this manner, but doing so will definitely unlock a greater potency in the mantra.

I would suggest that you use any online translation engine to convert the meaning from English to Telugu or any other language that you wish to read in. Our goal is to make the content available for a wider audience throughout the world.

It can be chanted at dawn, noon and dusk and the mantra japa can be in between or before or even after the recitation of the kavacam. It is part of the mantra pañcāṅga.

It is a mistake on my part and I have used the feminine notation for most articles in the past, as almost 99% of the articles I posted are Devi mantras. I have tried to address this in the FAQ article wherein it is mentioned to use 'ane' for male deities and 'ikāyai' for female deitites. For eg:- it would be pṛthvyātmane for male deites and pṛthvyātmikāyai for female deities etc. In due course of time, I will correct the mantra articles such as this with the correct notation.
