Mantras
The use of mantras is also
a very important form of Yoga, and it is especially recommended as a powerful
astrological remedy, as well as a spiritual practice and meditation technique.
A Mantra is a sound
formula, either a syllable, a word or a combination of words, that when
repeated enough times with the right intonation, devotional feeling and
concentration of the mind, has the capacity to change the vibrations on the
astral body, neutralizing or changing the negative effects of the adverse
planetary influences.
The Mantras are sounds
discovered or “heard” by the Rishis on deep meditation states. No one can “invent”
a mantra.
The Vedic Rishis and Yogis
understood the process of creation of the world in the form of sound
vibrations. Everything in the universe has a particular sound vibration, which
can be heard in meditative states.
Thought itself is nothing
but sound, in a particular wavelength. Each thought has not only a particular
sound, but also a corresponding shape, colour, size and weight.
Sound and form go
together. Besides each form or shape there is a sound vibration, a name, and
vice versa.
The Sanskrit alphabet was
made from the sound heard on the different chakras and Nadis (astral tubes),
and that’s why the mantras are in Sanskrit language.
Mantras are actually, what
the Sanskrit language is made of. When a Mantra is repeated correctly, it
activates those nadis and chakras.
Repeating a mantra is
therefore a way we can manipulate and change the vibratory level on our astral
body and activate the Kundalini Shakti or spiritual transformational power.
Each Planet also has a
vibratory level and sound associated. All the actions and thoughts, the karmas
that we have created on the past, even past lives, create a particular type of
sound and colour pattern in our mind and astral body.
That sound and colour
pattern in our astral body is what attracts the life events.
In what we think, we
become. According to the vibration of our astral body we will attract a
material situation, a life experience related to that vibration.
The position of the
planets at the moment of birth and their continuous movements, transits and
periods of influence (dashas) affect our mind and astral body, triggering,
amplifying and releasing those past impressions of the karmas into an actual
experience, which makes the different life situations manifest in different
ways at different times.
So, by repeating a mantra
we can invoke a high and positive level of astral energy that can neutralize
and change the negative patterns.
Each Planet has one or
more Mantras which when repeated help to transform their negative effect into
the positive one. It is like “healing” the effect of that planet on our astral
body.
Each planet has also a
presiding deity, whose mantra can be used with the same or even better effect.
Remember that the planets
are nothing but the instruments of God to perform the law of Karma.
Even though God is one, it
can be invoked in different ways to help us overcome and liberate from the grip
of the planets.
There is a highest
category of Mantras called the “Moksha Mantras” which are also called “the
names of God”, and if repeated with sincere devotion and mental concentration,
have the capacity to remove all karmic afflictions, independently of which
planet is the afflicting one. It is recommended to choose one Moksha Mantra and
focus on that one Mantra for the whole life as the “personal” mantra, or “Ishta
Devata” mantra.
That mantra can also be
chosen by looking at the birth chart.
The best situation is to
receive the Mantra from an experienced or realized teacher or Guru, through a
ceremony of “Diksha” or initiation. In this way the right pronunciation and
intonation is learned, but the most important benefit of that is that the “Shakti”
or power of the Mantra can be transmitted from teacher to disciple through
invitation. Its power and effects will be greater and faster in this way.
