MANTRA REIKI (PRANA REIKI)
Introduction
The Sanskrit word mantra- consists of the root- man- "to
think" (also manas "mind") and the tra- meaning, tool,
hence a literal translation would be "instrument of thought".
Mantras are interpreted to be effective as sound (vibration),
to the effect that great emphasis is put on correct
pronunciation). They are intended to deliver the mind from
illusion and material inclinations. Chanting is the process of
repeating a mantra (JAPA).
A mantra is a thought manifest in, or encapsulated by, a
sacred utterance that possesses profound spiritual
significance. They are powerful vibrations., A Mantra is
sacred and spiritually beneficial. By chanting a mantra
repeatedly with love and devotion a person can become
spiritually illumined. He develops a pure mind, which enables
him to see God.
Life is a mixture of known, unknown and mystical. Known is
very limited and the unknown is very vast. We must learn to
appreciate the known, work on the unknown and connect to
the areas of Mystery. This will give a sense of wonderment
and sense of awe. In this dimension of mystery comes the
Mantras. They create powerful positive vibrations. This can
be experienced when we visit a sacred place. We feel a
sense of calmness and get drowned into that vibration.
Mantras help to unlock mysteries which logic cannot explain.
It is like a child cannot understand how from a seed the tree
grows and wonders so also the mystery ie the invisible
cannot be understood by an ordinary mind filled with
negativities. This is the sensuous mind. Once we drop the
sensuous mind and operate from the sacred mind we start
experiencing Godliness. We wear shoes to the feet and
when we go to a temple or a sacred place we remove the
2
shoes before entering. We touch the earth with our physical
feet. We touch our life with psychological foot. The mind also
has certain shoes. They are kama (desires), krodha
(anger),lobha(greed),moha(lust),mada,(arrogance),matsalya.
(jeleasy) . in order to operate from the sacred mind one has
to remove all these shoes as they pollute the mind. This is
where Mantras come to our aid. Chanting mantra promotes
harmony and healing on all levels. Mantra can awaken our
spiritual self, connecting us to the source of all power, not
only for personal benefit but also for the good of all others.
All mantras have six aspects, a seer or rishi (Mantras
have always come down from master to disciple,
beginning with the ancient seers, or rishis), a raga
(tone,music), a presiding deity (Devata, a definitive form)
seed- its source of potency sound (Bija ), the power held
within the mantra (Shakti) and pillar- the will power that
an aspirant must gain (Kilaka).

one plane to the next higher.

The Maha Mrutyunjaya Mantra is considered to be the
"companion" chant to the Gayatri mantra. Whereas the
Gayatri mantra opens the energy field and empowers
the chanter through feminine energies, the Maha
Mrutyunjaya mantra moves energies through masculine
energies, instigating new, positive conditions. Maha
Mrutyunjaya mantra is considered to be a healing
mantra that awakens dormant abilities within the one
chanting. Where Gayatri cleanses the system, Maha
Mrutyunjaya strengthens it. Maha Mrutyunjaya works
with masculine energies so that action on the physical
plane may occur. For these reasons, Gayatri and Maha
Mrutyunjaya are often used in conjunction with one
another to open the energy field, clear unfavorable
conditions, and bring about powerful change, and
balancing of the energies.

person penetrated with love and peace. Merge everything
into Universal Light. Simply by smiling and greeting others,

OM has to be added to the beginning of all Mantras. Om
stands for silence i.e. the Turya Avasta the fourth state of
consciousness.
TRYAMBAKKAM refers to the three eyes of Lord Shiva.
'Trya' means 'Three' and Ambakam' means eyes. These
three eyes or sources of enlightenment are the Trimurti or
three primary deities, namely Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva and
the three 'AMBA' (also meaning Mother or Shakti' are
Saraswati, Lakshmi and Parvati Thus in this word, we are
referring to God as Omniscient (Brahma), Omnipresent
(Vishnu) and Omnipotent (Shiva).
YAJAMAHE: means, "We sing Thy praise"/we worship.
SUGANDHIM: refers to His fragrance (of knowledge,
presence and strength i.e. three aspects) as being the best
and always spreading around. Fragrance refers to the joy
that we get on knowing, seeing or feeling His virtuous deeds.
From Ahamkara(Egoistic-I) to Asmita(Innocent-I)
11
BANDANAAM: means bound down. Thus read with
URVAROOKAMEVA BANDANAAD, it means 'I am bound
down by deadly and overpowering diseases'.
MRITYORMOOKSHEYA: means to deliver us from death
(both premature deaths in this Physical world and from the
never-ending cycle of deaths due to re-birth) for the sake of
Moksha (Nirvana or final emancipation from re-birth).
MAAMRITAAT means 'please give me some Amritam (life
rejuvenating nectar). Read with Urvaarokameva Bandanaat
Mrityomooksheya Maamritaat, it means that we are praying
for some 'Amrit' to get out of the death inflicting diseases as
well as the cycle of re-birth.
Enlightenment happens only when we dis-identify and dis-
identification happens when we understand that nothing is
ours everything is Thine. So when we have deep trust we
never identify with happiness or unhappiness, success or
failure and this is the fact of immortality.
Constant repetition of this ancient Sanskrit mantra purifies
the heart and awakens our perception (third eye) so that we
start to understand on a deeper level. Simultaneously
reflection on its meaning also helps to awaken our intuitive
faculties.
Anybody can recite this mantra and attain good health,
release from bondage and other problems. This is the
greatest reliever from all evils and can be recited at any time
like any other Maha-Mantra

Surya. Gayatri is the Mother of the Vedas. Ma Gayatri is
present wherever the Mantra is chanted. Gayatri has
three names - Gayatri, Saavitri and Saraswathi. These
three are present in each one of us. Gayatri is the
master of the senses, Saavitri is the master of Prana
(Life Force). Savitri signifies Truth. Saraswathi is the
Presiding Deity of Speech (Vaak). These three represent
purity of Thought, Word and Deed. One who practices

Let all our intellect be indeed Enlightened.When this
wakefulness happens life becomes Divine. We
experience a silence and look at the world in
this silence.
These five faces are actually the five senses guarded by her
or alternatively, five 'pranas' of life forces protected by her as
Savitri. It is said that Gayatri Mantra acts as a third eye of a
person that opens up a whole new world of spiritual
realization and attaining Brahman. It is said to have power to
protect one from any possible harm. It confers material
gain, happiness, prosperity, removes greed, delusion,
pain and diseases. It bestows good health, beauty,
strength, vigor and magnetic Aura.

CONCLUSION
In everybodys life there comes a time when one feels,
everything going wrong and one is overwhelmed with
frustration. When things appear to be going wrong, the
natural tendency for a human being is to ascribe the blame
to someone other than himself. And what better excuse can
we find other than God whom we have learnt to believe as
the ultimate controller of everything- the supreme reality.
But one whose intellect is firmly established and steady- sits
down to analyze. God has given us Viveka, Buddhi
(Wisdom). Use it wisely to be successful in life. By that
discerning power, backed up by reasoning, one can choose
the right path. A spiritual approach to life demands an
unconditional trust on a superior power. Regular chanting of
these two Mantras help us to achieve this state of mind. So
le us understand the value of this and make our life better
and live a life of Success with satisfaction.
FEEDBACK
I would be grateful to all initiated if I can get the feedback
from you. Kindly send your feedback to my Email. given in

May Lord Shiva and Mother Gayatri bless you and shower
you with happiness, bliss, peace, good health, abundance
and spirituality.
