Transformational mantras can operate both with the seed atom of vehicles and with the
karmic accretion stemming from a karmic seed. While the formulation of these mantras is
beyond the scope of this short article, the reader will be given some general information
about their derivation and use.
The classical bija mantras invoke the seed sounds of the chakras or the gods and
goddesses of the Inner Planes.
Invoking the seed sounds of the chakras are used to release innate abilities and powers.
Invocation of a god or goddess by their mantra releases the essential quality and Grace of
that deity, and imbues the mind with that energy. For example, invocation of Lakshmi as
the goddess of wealth brings forth the qualities of prosperity, abundance and optimism
into the meditator’s awareness.
In certain cases, an additional word or phrase may be added to the mantramic formula to
emphasize a quality. For example, a person experiencing fear may be given a mantra that
invokes Lord Narasimha (the Lion-Man form of Vishnu), together with a phrase that
emphasizes courage and fearlessness.
X, left
Opening channel of the left side (ida), burning stored karma layered in the personal
unconscious.
X, right
Opening channel of the right side (pingala), liberating powers or abilities of the
Superconscious mind.
Y, up
Opening higher centers or vehicles beyond the current state of stable consciousness.
These are typically used to transform specific vehicles, open chakras or uplift nuclei of
identity.
Y, down
Opening blocked lower centers or vehicles below the current state of stable
consciousness. These are used to overcome sins that darkened and split off aspects of
unconsciousness.
Z, forward
Creates or manifests a desired condition in the future. This is the directional invocation
of creation or manifestation.
Z, backward
Dissolves and works out a karmic influence of the past impacting the present. Used to
overcome traumas, past poor decisions or false beliefs.
(2) Mantras associated with the activation of specific spiritual powers (siddhis). The
mantras here are of two types, suggestive and essential.
Suggestive mantras consist of the repetition of a short phrase that may temporarily
stimulate the vortex of the spiritual power. They may awaken it for a brief period, but it
fades away after meditation is over.
Essential bija mantras that activate these powers are accessible to the Cosmic
Consciousness when it rises up to the second Subplane of the Cosmic Causal Plane of the
First Cosmic Initiation. They are animated by the Cosmic octave of will innate to Cosmic
Consciousness, and once attained, are permanent in duration.
Cosmic Consciousness has the ability to open the portals of access to these powers when
it reaches this stage. They can be expressed in three ways: channeled through the
Conscious mind as a gift, made available through the Subconscious mind by suggestion
in the trance state, or commanded by the intention of the attentional principle. Cosmic
Consciousness may also elect to block access to these powers.
(3) Mantras associated with a particular vehicle. These are part and parcel of the Cosmic
Causal body, and are become activated as the Cosmic Consciousness traverses Subplanes
three through seven of the Cosmic Causal Plane of the First Cosmic Initiation. These
powers are seen to arise from the AUM vibration at the top of the Cosmic Causal Plane.
They open the channel between Cosmic Consciousness and lower vehicles, and impart
mastery of those vehicles from this vantage point.
These mantras allow Cosmic Consciousness to unfold any vehicle, and in fact, to liberate
it by dropping its seed atom into its origin.
(4) The Supracosmic Divine Name - mantras that unfold the essential seed of a
Supracosmic Path and ultimately unite it with the Supracosmic Soul.
Type four bija mantras at this locale are doorways for development into the Supracosmic
Sphere. The Supracosmic Divine Name may be unfolded on various Supracosmic Paths

Uses of Mantra
On Bija Mantra
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These mantramic formulae may be found in the Vedic Indian traditions anchored on the
Subtle Plane, used in temple worship. Use of powerful seed mantras can be likewise
encountered in the Lower Astral mystery schools, the First Cosmic Initiation, and in
paths of the Supracosmic Sphere.
The properly derived and correctly pronounced bija mantra targeted for a specific karmic
issue can have a therapeutic and life-transforming effect. We caution aspirants, however,
to look for the long-term results of this practice.
While this practice should yield dissolution of karma behind a vehicle or along a
particular track through the unconscious mind and/or a temporary positive change in
fortune, we ask you to look at the persistence of the effect. We invite you to examine our
article Thoughts on Transformation to gain a clearer understanding of transformation.
You can avoid the disillusionment of "workshop high" and inflated claims that do not
bear fruit by understanding clearly what a transformational modality can and cannot do,
and by looking for its results instead of its promises.
==============================================================
The Vedic language is based upon an earlier more primordial language of seed (bija)
mantras. These are single syllable sounds or roots like OM that have multiple meanings
and indications depending upon their intonation and the intention with which they are
used. Out of the bija or root language arises the language of the Vedic texts, which is
already differentiated, though not fully, into nouns and verbs. These bijas are explained
more in Tantra, which in its true sense (apart from current popular distortions) is also a
science of the Divine Word.
To introduce the site visitors to the Vedic mantric approach we will introduce a few
important bija mantras and then the main Vedic chant, the Gayatri mantra, of twenty four
syllables. This will also help the visitors understand the vision behind the Vedic Studies.
It is all a manifestation of the mantra.

OM is the most important of all mantras. All mantras generally begin and often also end
with OM. However, there is much confusion about OM. OM is the mantra of assent. It
means yes and affirms and energizes whatever we say after it. That is why all mantras
begin with OM. OM is also the mantra of ascent and causes our energy to rise upward
into the infinite. OM is expansive and increases the fire, air and ether elements,
particularly ether. It also gives strength, protection and grace. It connects us with the
guidance power of the inner Guru.
There are four great Goddess mantras that govern the prime forms of energy as magnetic
force, electrical force, heat, and delight. This is a Tantric teaching that reflects the Vedic
Word and the four main Vedic deities.
HRIM
HRIM (pronounced Hreem) is the prime mantra of the Great Goddess and ruler of the
worlds and holds all her creative and healing powers. HRIM governs over the cosmic
magnetic energy and the power of the soul and causal body. It awakens us at a soul or
heart level, connecting us to Divine forces of love and attraction. HRIM is the mantra of
the Divine Maya that destroys the worldly maya. It has a solar quality to it but more of a
dawn-like effect. It is charming and alluring, yet purifying . Through it we can control the
illusion power of our own minds.
KRIM
KRIM (pronounced Kreem) is the great mantra of Kali, the Goddess of energy and
transformation. It governs over prana as lightning or electrical energy. KRIM grants all
spiritual faculties and powers — from the arousing of kundalini to opening the third eye.
It has a special power relative to the lower chakras, which it can both stimulate and
transform. It helps awaken and purify the subtle body. As a mantra of work and
transformation KRIM is the mantra of Kriya Yoga, the Yoga of practice. It is the main
mantra of the Yoga Shakti. As it is a strong mantra it should be used with care.
KRIM is a mantra of Indra, the supreme deity of the Vedas, the Divine as the cosmic lord
and enlightenment force. KRIM is the thunderbolt or vajra that destroys the serpent of the
ignorance and releases the light of absolute truth. It represents the force of the
atmosphere (Atmic sphere) and carries the supreme life force.
HUM
HUM (pronounced Hoom) is a mantra of the inner fire or thermogenic force. It both calls
the divine down into us and offers our soul upward to the Divine for transformation in the
sacred fire of awareness. It is a Shiva mantra but also a mantra of Chandi, the fierce form
of Kali. It is used to destroy negativity and creates great passion and vitality. As a
powerful mantra it should also be used carefully. Yet it can be used in a more gentle
manner to invoke divine grace and protection. Through it we can offer ourselves or our
afflictions into the Divine for purification and transformation.
HUM is a Vedic mantra of Agni or fire. It is the mantra used to make offerings into the
sacred fire. It also is used to call or invoke the fire and to make it flame up more
brilliantly. It represents the soul hidden the body, the Divine immanent in the world. It
governs the earth and the material sphere in general.
SHRIM
In Vedic terms SHRIM is a Soma mantra. It gives love, joy, bliss, beauty and delight. It
has the light of the Moon and governs the mind and the realm between the atmosphere
and heaven. It purifies and integrates the various aspects of our nature and renders them
into ambrosia.
This brings about an integral development of body, mind and soul in harmony with the
Divine or inner Self.

Mantras must be chanted or recited with unwavering devotion and motivation. Chanting
them as a matter-of-course deprives them of power and is practically useless from the
point of view of conscious growth, evolution and effect.
The power of Mantras & Shlokas has been acknowledged since time immemorial. A
Mantra can consist of a powerful word or a combination of words and can be used for
self realization, for freedom from worries, to fulfill one's desires, to ward off the effects
of malefic planets, to bring you success, peace and contentment -- the range is truly vast.
You can choose for yourself.
How to sit: Sitting in position which maximizes the total effect of mantras is desirable.
According to the ancient systems, the lotus posture is the best asana for meditation and
for mantras. Other asanas (postures) which are recommended in order of effect for
meditation or the practice of mantras are:
1. Padma Asana
2. Vaira Asana
3. Siddha Asana or Vajra Asana.
Once you have decided upon the asana for a particular mantra, you must use the same
mantra for the duration of the chanting. You can sit on the earth ( as distinct from floor),
on a deer skin, a tiger skin, a wooden platform, a cotton or plant fibre mat. Synthetic
materials should not be used.
Vjyotish
Best time: The best time for chanting mantras is the Brahmamahurta ( 4 a.m.). Other
good times are the transition periods i.e. when night is turning into day ( dawn and
sunrise), when day is turning into night (twilight and sunset). You can also choose the
time before going to bed. Having chosen your time, you should be regular about the
hours and duration of your chanting.
Position: If chanting mantras during the day time, you should sit facing the north or the
east. If chanting mantras during the night, you should sit facing the north.
Preferably, your rosary should not be visible to others when you are using it. Covering
your hand with a cloth or a specially made covering is a common practice. With the
rosary hanging over the middle, ring and index finger of the right hand, the thumb and
middle finger are generally used to roll the beads. You must not cross the ' head' of the
rosary when rolling the beads and must revert to the head after completing a rosary.
How often: The number of times a mantra has to be chanted is usually specified.
Normally, it is considered auspicious to chant a mantra 11 times, or 108 times or in
multiples of 108. Once you have fixed upon the number, you can increase it but cannot
decrease it.
