1. Origin and meaning of Path of Mantra (Mantrayoga)
Some definitions of the word mantra are as follows:
A. मननात ् त्रायते इतत मंत्र: । Manan means bringing only one thought to one’s mind
repeatedly and trayate means to protect. In other words, mantra refers to that which
when thought of repeatedly protects oneself and also that which protects one from the
mind or that which helps to bring about the dissolution of the mind. At a further stage
Mantrayoga also means that state in which contemplation (manan) stops during chanting,
there is dissolution of the mind, cessation of the mantra, dissolution of the triad (triputi)
that is, of the mantra, the one chanting the mantra and the act of chanting and the seeker
attains the state of dissolution (layavastha).
B. Mantra refers to the collection of letters which assists in acquisition of the favorable
and the vanquishing of obstacles. The word mantra is derived from mantri, a Sanskrit
word which means secret speeches (guhyabhashane). It has various meanings like
acquisition of secret objectives, acquisition of secret meanings, invoking a deity for a
specific cause, etc. Philosophically it means that by contemplation (manan) of which,
knowledge about the oneness of the entire world, that is the embodied soul (jiva),
Brahman and the universe is bestowed upon oneself and that by which the embodied soul
acquires Liberation (Mukti) from worldly bondages and Dharmacharan - Righteousness
(Dharma), wealth (Artha) and desire (Kama) are achieved in this world.
C. मंत्रा: मननात ् । means a mantra is that on which one contemplates (manan) and from
which one acquires the knowledge about sacrificial fires (Yajña), God and the soul (Nirukta
7.12).
D. मकारो मननं प्राह त्रकारस्त्त्राणमुच्‍यते ।

मननत्राणसंयुक्‍तो मंत्र इत्‍यभिधीयते ।।
makāro mananaṃ prāha trakārastrāṇamucyate|
mananatrāṇasaṃyukto maṃtra ityabhidhīyate ||
Meaning: In the word mantra ‘ma’ (म) refers to contemplation (manan) and ‘tra’ (त्र) to
protection (tran). Thus that which consists of contemplation (manan) and protection is
called a mantra.
E. The word mantra is derived from ‘man’ (मन ्) and ‘tra’ (त्र). ‘Man’ refers to the mind and
‘tra’ to vital energy (pran). That which is done with the fusion of the mind and vital energy
is called a mantra.
aghori.it
2
F. According to the science of Tantra, sound (nad or dhvani) being the fundamental
frequency of creation appears foremost in the origin of the universe. Sound is a subtle
part of the divine energy (chit shakti) of the embodied soul (jiva). Just as sound waves are
produced in the atmosphere due to air currents, so also in the body of the embodied soul
sound waves are generated due to flow of a type of vital energy (pranvayu). A word is
generated from this sound. Later, a mantra originates from it. The energy contained in a
mantra is beyond one’s imagination.
2. Parts of a mantra
मंत्राणां पल्‍
लवो वासो । मंत्राणां प्रणव: भिर: ।
भिर: पल्‍लव संयुकतो । कामधक
ु ् िवेत ् ।।
maṃtrāṇāṃ pallavo vāso | maṃtrāṇāṃ praṇava: śira: |
śira: pallava saṃyukto | kāmadhuk bhavet ||
Meaning: The letters or words in a mantra constitute its body and the Om at its beginning,
is the head. If both the head and the body are present then with that mantra one’s
aspirations are fulfilled.
Usually a mantra consists of the following:
2.1 The Name of a deity
The Name of the deity which is to be worshipped. Usually Shri or Om is prefixed to the
deity’s Name.
2.2 The favour asked for
Whatever is to be asked of the deity.
2.3 Pallav (salutation)
Pallav refers to the last or the decorative part of the mantra. Pallav also means to collect,
the description of the benefit derived, etc. Often the ‘namaha’ in a mantra expresses
salutation to the deity. That is the pallav. The words in the mantra are also known as
pallav.
aghori.it
3
The meaning of some words which appear at the end of a mantra: Often several
words like namaha, svaha, svadha, vashat, vaushat, hum and phat are joined to the bijas.
These words either depict the mental state of a seeker at the time of chanting the mantra
or whatever one wishes to achieve with their usage. Their implied meanings are as
follows.
Namaha : The serene and peaceful state of the antahkaran
appeasing the deity of the mantra by surrendering to it.
Svaha : Destruction of harmful energy, for instance curing
a disease and doing good to others, appeasing the
deity of the mantra with offerings.
Svadha : Self-contentment, strengthening oneself.
Vashat : A spiritual emotion of destroying the enemy.
Vaushat : To create conflicts or opposition among enemies,
to acquire power and wealth.
Hum : Anger and courage, to frighten one’s enemy.
Phat : A spiritual emotion of attacking the enemy, to
drive the enemy away.
2.4 Kilak
A. Kilak means a wedge or a clue to a mystical puzzle. The Guru gives the kilak of the
mantra. Consequently, the energy of the mantra is manifested. Kilak means the
description, proximity, speed and method of pronunciation, the rhythm of recitation of the
mantra (alap), etc. Sometimes the kilak assumes the form of a prior notice. When a sage
creates a mantra along with a precondition that ‘without the pronunciation of a particular
word prior to the mantra, the practice of the mantra will not be fruitful’, then the mere
chanting of the mantra does not prove to be of any avail. Such a word is termed as a kilak
of a mantra, that is a wedge or a clue to a mystical puzzle. Only when the mantra is
chanted along with it does it prove to be fruitful. Understanding that word, and chanting
along with it or destroying the relationship of that word with the mantra is called nishkilan
aghori.it
4
or utkilan. However, only spiritually evolved persons can give guidance to this effect. One
comes across ‘Shrimat Hanuman kilakam’ in Shriramaraksha verse (stotra).
B. Movement of the saman vital energy (vayu) is essential to activate the kundalini
(spiritual energy). Nadibandha (blocking the channels) is performed to achieve it. The
energy used to perform nadibandha is also called kilak. Kilak means the expulsion of the
saman vital energy from which energy is generated. Nadibandha also occurs if a mantra is
chanted appropriately.
2.5 Parts of a mantra according to the science of Tantra
Every mantra includes three principles, the pranav, the bija, and the deity. The secrets of
The Almighty within and beyond the universe are present in the pranav principle. Through
the bija principle one becomes aware of one’s true nature (prakriti), the type of one’s
relationship with The Almighty and the unmanifest energy within oneself which is making
attempts to manifest itself. Knowledge of the deity principle gives one the realization of
The Lord’s wish which is to be fulfilled through oneself.
3. Chanting a mantra (mantrajapa)
Repetition of a mantra understanding its meaning, along with faith and spiritual emotion is
called chanting a mantra (mantrajapa).
4. Types of mantra
4.1 According to the holy texts
A. The Vedas: Vedic mantras are superior to all other mantras. The Sanhita section of
the Vedas is itself regarded as a mantra. The Gayatri mantra in the Rigveda was first
written by Sage Vishvamitra and is considered superior to the others. The Atharvaveda too
is a treasure house of various mantras. Mantras or meanings are created in various
sciences such as astrology, Ayurveda, Spirituality, etc. when different bijas are prefixed to
the Vedic verses.
B. The texts of the Tantras: As in the Vedas thousands of mantras have also been
mentioned in the texts of the Tantras.
aghori.it
5
The Vedic and Tantrik mantras: Since the Vedic mantras are the very breath of The
Lord they are efficacious (siddha) mantras. Hence according to Vedic scholars no rituals
are deemed necessary for their chanting. Contrary to this, tantriks have prescribed specific
rituals even for the Vedic mantras.
In the science of Mantra, the armour (self protection), argala (generation of energy,
destruction of distressing energies) and kilak are equally important and without the
accomplishment of all these, a mantra cannot become efficacious. In the Tantrik path the
armour and argala are deemed to be inferior and greater importance is attached to the
kilak. According to the science of Tantra mere removal of obstacles preventing the
accomplishment of the tantra is sufficient for proving the tantra, as this science is based
on gross objects. 5% of the effectiveness of a tantra is due to the qualities of the object
used in it, for instance black lentil (udid). The effect is purely due to the intrinsic qualities
of the object and not due to any external process.
C. The Shabar texts: Thousands of Shabar mantras are given in these texts. They are
also known as mantras of spirits (paishachik mantras) and are often meaningless. In these
mantras emphasis is laid not on the meaning but on the sound. These mantras are of an
inferior quality because through them a seeker develops communion with spirits and not
deities. They have been written in a number of languages like Sanskrit, Prakrit (a dialect
derived from Sanskrit), Marathi, Arabic, etc. The notes in some of the Shabar mantras are
an admixture of the sounds of insects, animals, birds, etc.
4.2 According to the meaning
A. With meaningful words: Mantras such as the Gayatri mantra have a specific
meaning.
B. Without meaningful words: Some mantras pertaining to spirits and others like ‘Gan
gan ganata bote’ as chanted by Saint Gajanan Maharaj of Shegaon or monosyllables such
as lam, vam, sham, etc. which represent various spiritual energy chakras in our body
appear meaningless at face value. Some of these seemingly meaningless mantras too
have a deep meaning. For instance, the Sanskrit letter Om is composed of the three
letters a (अ), u (उ) and m (म). These represent the sattva, raja and tama components
respectively. Om, a combination of the three components (trigunas) is in fact a symbol of
the one beyond the three components (trigunatit). Vowels have high frequencies, most
consonants have medium frequencies, whereas y (य), r (र), v (व) and h (ह) have low
frequencies. Om, however has all these three frequencies.
aghori.it

4.3 According to the number of letters
A. The existing types
Bijamantra : Monosyllabic mantras like yam, ram, rham, rhim
Mulamantra : 2 to 10 letters or the deity’s subtle body known as kamakala
Pindamantra : 11 to 20 letters
Malamantra : A mantra with more than 20 letters or one chanted with a mala (rosary)
B. Types according to the Nitya Tantra
Pinda : A mantra with only one letter
Kartari : 2 letters
Bija : 3 to 9 letters
Mantra : 10 to 20 letters
Mala : More than 20 letters
C. Some prevalent examples
1. With one letter : Om (ॐ)
2. With five letters : Namaha Shivaya (नम: भिवाय ।)
3. With six letters : Om namaha Shivaya (ॐ नम: भिवाय ।)
Om namo Vishnave (ॐ नमो ववष्‍णवे।)
4. With seven letters : Om rhim Suryaya namaha (ॐ र्‍

ह ं सय
ू ााय नम: ।)
aghori.it
7
5. With eight letters : Om namo Vasudevaya (ॐ नमो वासद
ु े वाय ।)
6. With nine letters : Om gam Ganapataye namaha (ॐ गं गणपतये नम: ।)
7. With twelve letters : Om namo Bhagvate Vasudevaya (ॐ नमो िगवते वासुदेवाय ।)
8. With thirteen letters : Shrirama jai Rama jai jai Rama (श्री राम जय राम जय जय राम ।)
4.4 According to the gender
In the science of Tantra masculine and neuter mantras are called mantras while the
feminine ones are known as vidya (knowledge).
A. Masculine [solar (soura)] mantras: Mantras concluding with words like ‘hum, phat’
are considered as masculine mantras. Such mantras help in vanquishing enemies or in
changing the minds of others. Mantras of the Sun deity too are masculine mantras.
B. Feminine [lunar (som)] mantras: Mantras concluding with words like tham, svaha
or svadha should be considered as feminine mantras. Such mantras are useful in curing
illnesses. Mantras of the moon are considered to be feminine mantras.
C. Neuter mantras: Mantras ending with ‘namaha’ are considered as neuter mantras.
Such mantras are used to fulfill some desire.
4.5 Gurumantra - initiation of a mantra by the Guru (mantradiksha)
This is also called a sabija mantra as besides the letters it is laden with the Guru’s resolve
(sankalpa) and divine consciousness (chaitanya) too. [For further details refer ‘Science of
Spirituality: Vol. 4 – Path of Guru's Grace (Gurukrupayoga), point Gurumantra’.] In the
routine spiritual practice commenced on one’s own, the energy of spiritual practice is
operational whereas in the initiation of a mantra both, the energy of spiritual practice as
well as the energy of the mantra become operational.

4.6 The bijamantra
A. Introduction:
The bija is the seedling of the mantra. It is from this seedling that shoots of the science of
Mantra spread. The energy of any mantra lies in its bija. The chanting of a mantra is
efficacious only if an appropriate bija is selected. The bijas activate the deity of the
mantra. In this context the Bruhadgandharvatantra relates –
िण
ृ ु दे वव प्रवक्ष्‍
याभम बीजानां दे वरूपताम ् ।
मन्‍त्रोच्‍चारणमात्रेण दे वरूपं प्रजायते ।।
śṛṇu devi pravakṣyāmi bījānāṃ devarūpatām |
mantroccāraṇamātreṇa devarūpaṃ prajāyate ||
The meaning: O Parvati, I will tell you the divine nature of bijas. Mere pronunciation of a
bijamantra, causes the manifestation of the deity at that site.
Bijas are also extremely useful from the physical and psychological point of view. When
pronouncing bijas a particular frequency is generated leading to the production of specific
sound waves. Spread of these waves activates certain centres and chakras in the body,
which in turn facilitate the proper flow of the vital energies (pranas) through the channels
(nadis). It is said that chanting of a bijamantra helps to achieve a healthy body, pure
mind, increase in the mental (psychic) energy, sharp intellect, etc.
Mr. Woodrof has explained about bijas of various deities, their implied meaning and
objectives in the following way:
1. Om (ॐ) : This is a bija too. It has to be pronounced before all bijas and mantras. It is called
the pranav bija. This itself is the bija or the gist of the Vedas. All the bijas originate
from the pranav bija. This is an eternal and non-dualistic (advait) bija.
2. Aim (ऐं) : The bija of Sarasvati. The objective is the same as above.
aghori.it
9
3. Krim : The bija of Kali, k = Kali, r = Brahman and i = Mahamaya (the Great Illusion). The
(क्रं) dot in Sanskrit (anusvar) means overcoming unhappiness. The objective is to
overcome unhappiness.
4. Klim : The bija of Krishna or desire (kama), k = Krishna or kama (desire), l = Indra, i
(क्‍ल )ं = satisfaction and the dot refers to generation of happiness. Its objective is
acquisition of happiness.
5. Gam (गं) : The bija of Ganesh, g = Ganesh, the dot represents overcoming unhappiness; its
objective is overcoming unhappiness.
6. Dum (दं )ू : The bija of Durga, d = Durga, u = protection and the dot refers to the act of
protection. Its objective is protection.
7. Shrim : The bija of Lakshmi, sh = Lakshmi, r = wealth, i = satisfaction and the dot
(श्रीं) represents overcoming unhappiness. Its objectives are prosperity and contentment.
8. Strim : The bija of Vadhu, s = protection from crisis, t = saviour energy, r = Liberation
त्रीं)
(स्त््‍ (Mukti), i = Mahamaya (the Great Illusion) and the dot indicates overcoming
unhappiness. Its objective is overcoming unhappiness.
9. Rhim : It is the bija of Brahman (Shiva) and Energy (Shakti), h = Shiva (Brahman), r =
(र्‍ह )ं Prakriti, r = Mahamaya and the dot indicates overcoming unhappiness. Its objective is
to overcome unhappiness.
10. Hum : The bija of Varma or Kurcha, h = Shiva, u = Bhairav and the dot indicates
(हूं) overcoming happiness. Its objective is to overcome unhappiness.
aghori.it
10
11. Houm : The bija of grace (prasadbija), h = Shiva, ou = grace of Lord Shiva or Sadashiv and
(हौं) the dot refers to overcoming of grief. Its objective is to overcome unhappiness with
the grace of Lord Shiva or Sadashiv.
12. : The bija of Nrisinha, ksh = Nrisinha, r = Brahman, ou = Urdhvadanta and the
Kshroum dot represents overcoming grief. Its objective is overcoming unhappiness.
(क्ष्रौं)
Various combinations are created when bijas are combined. Two or more bijas can be
combined. As a result, great diversity is created in the energy of the mantra for example,
‘rhim shrim krim’ is a conjoined bijamantra. All the three bijas are various forms of the
same energy – rhim = the Great Illusion (Maya), shrim = Lakshmi and krim = the deity
Kali. According to the scriptures (Darshans) these three bijas represent creation,
sustenance and destruction respectively. The Fetkarini Tantra gives the yogic meaning of
some conjoined bijas, for example when rhim is joined twice it becomes a bija of coyness
(lajjabija). This is considered to be the bija of the principle of entire creation. To illustrate
this with an example, a legend states that at the time of creation of the universe The
Creator felt coy for the first time. ‘Shrim’ means maintaining harmony between the
functions of Lord Vishnu namely nurture and sustenance.
B. Types according to the motive
1. With worldly expectation (sakam): The mantra begins with rhim, shrim, klim, etc.
2. Without worldly expectation (nishkam): The mantra commences with Om. All mantras
originate from Om. It is a symbol of Brahman, God and the Vedas. Hence, the mantra
‘Om’ can bestow the Final Liberation (Moksha).
3. Both with and without expectation: The bijas like rhim are suffixed to Om and are
followed by the other letters in the mantra.

Information about the association of the chakras with various organs and the appropriate
bijamantras for them is given in ‘Science of Spirituality : Chapter 38 – Kundaliniyoga (Path
of Activation of Spiritual Energy)’. The bijamantras purify the chakras and channels (nadis)
and make the organs disease free.

2. Diseases of organs and bijamantras: The bijamantras which are useful in the
diseases of certain organs are given below:
Rhaam : Diseases of the chest, heart, respiratory tract and brain
Rhim : Diseases of the nose, throat and palate
Rhum : Diseases of the liver, spleen, intestines, stomach and uterus
Rhaim : Diseases of the kidneys, urinary bladder
Rhoum : Diseases of the anus and organs of digestion
Rham : Disorders of the chest and throat
H. The four social classes (varnas) and bijamantras
1. Brahman : rhim
2. Kshatriya : shrim
3. Vaishya : klim
4. Shudra : aim
I. The three components (trigunas) and bijamantras: The bijas s, r and t

correspond to the sattva, raja and tama components respectively.
4.7 The bijakshar
This is a terminology from the Tantrik path. In all tantrik methods there is a tendency to
consolidate the mantras into a single letter. The mantras which are consolidated using the
Sanskrit letters shrim, rhim, klim, etc. are called bijakshars. Just as powerful subatomic
particles are produced as a result of the disintegration of a substance so also it is believed
that the bijakshar contains energy equivalent to millions of subatomic particles. In the
science of Tantra, bijakshars are used to make a yantra, mantra or a tantra immensely
powerful and mysterious. The Shabdasiddhanta of Mimansak advocates the concept of
various presiding deities of the bijakshars and states that a bijakshar mantra is eternal.
The meaning lies in the word, not in the one who understands it.
aghori.it
19
Writing bijakshars like shrim, rhim, klim, rhoum, svaha, etc. is an art in itself. Intense
spiritual practice and the knowledge of control over the usage of words is essential to
write, utter and put them into practice. Perhaps scripts of the perfected ones (siddhas)
came into being only to be able to write down the bijakshars. Ten rules have been
prescribed for writing them. The length and breadth of every bijakshar has special
significance. Only by writing down a bijakshar is its mystery, purity and secrecy revealed.
It is said that a mantra without the conjunction of bijakshars becomes devoid of meaning
and power.

MUDRA
Mudra (Sanskrit: मु ा) literally means "seal", "brand" or "gesture", it is a symbolic gesture used in Tantric rituals of both Hindu and
Buddhist tradition. The mudras can be performed with the whole body but most are performed with the hands. Mudras are part of a
system that uses the body to express and emphasize the intentions of the mind. Are often used in yoga practice in association with
breathing (pranayama), in meditation and for healing purposes. Stimulate different parts of the body and affect the flow of prana,
the vital energy. It is also said that the mudras are the language of the Devas.
We can note how in Hindu, Jain, and Buddhist iconography every god or goddess adopt a particular mudra, which along with the
weapons or objects held by the deity, symbolize a particular energy or quality.
In Tantric rituals 108 mudras are used.
In the ancient text on yoga Gheranda Samhita 25 mudras are mentioned:

Other Chakras
Our body is dotted with a myriad of chakras, virtually wherever there is an intersection between energy channels (Nadis) we will find a chakra. The chakras described above are just the most important
ones and to the 7 we could add two other chakras particularly important also for the tantric practices. They are located just below Anahata, one on his left, Hridaya or Surya Chakra, and one to the right,
Chandra Chakra. The names and functions of these chakras differ among the schools but their importance it is not questioned.
Going up from Muladhara, Kundalini takes a path from a gross plane towards more and more subtle levels, from the material to the spiritual. When Kundalini reaches Sahasrara there is union with Shiva.
There are three chakras that go beyond these plans and that can only be experienced when the Kundalini is fully awakened. They are Golata, Lalata and Lalana located in the back of the throat, above
