Panchadasi mantra?

Toggle navigation SanskritMantras@groups.io Topics Search Date Panchadasi mantra? "sparkymantra" 1/25/09   Hello, Some time in the past I ran across a mantra called the Panchadasi mantra. Ka E I La Hrim Ha Sa Ka Ha La Hrim Sa Ka La Hrim Shrim I think it's a Lalita mantra. It resonated with me so I saved it, and I've recently started chanting it just because it "feels right." Thing is however, I have no idea what the mantra is suppose to do, or anything else about the mantra really. I was wondering where I could find more info. Not much comes up on google. Also, has anyone here practiced this mantra? And what was your experience with it? Thanks in advance everyone More Thomas Ashley-Farrand 1/29/09   Hi.Namadeva Here. I teach this mantra in some detail in The Mysterious Kundalini workshop. Very, Very briefly, the first line is the Brahma linme, the second li ne is the V ishn u line and the third is the Shiva line. Esoterically, Shrim can be added for "Glorious Realization." This mantra is pure Tantra in that it works directly and powefully with the spiritual energy all around us. Interestingly, the more one is spiritually advanved, the more powerful the mantra becomes for the practitioner. I recommend unsealing and un-nailing this mantra before beginning practice. Jai Ma, Namadeva . . . More "stephen924862000" 1/29/09   Dear Thomas, How many times would you suggest chanting the un-nailing mantras? I've posted my experience with this mantra a while back... Quite powerful effects. In fact, it was too powerful that I had to stop for a while. Thanks, Stephen -Sent from my iPhone --- In SanskritMantras@..., Thomas Ashley-Farrand wrote: Hi.Namadeva Here.

More "sparkymantra" 1/29/09   Hi Namadeva, Thank you for answering my question. I was wondering where I can find the techniques for nailing and unnailing this mantras (I actually have no idea what this means). Do you have any book or other material out that addresses this? Thank you in advance! . . . More Mary Huddleston 1/29/09   Namaste All, Mantras that have been "sealed and nailed" shut are mantras that have an added  layer of "protection" ... This was done by (I'm pretty sure) Brahmin Priests, sometimes the Seer of the mantra or a Saint or Sage for varying reasons.  The more altruistic motive would be to prevent the misuse of the mantra's power-or to prevent the novice from possibly inadvertently doing harm to themselves or others.  The more suspect motives might be to hoard the mantric power for themselves/personal gain. Unsealing a mantra makes the full power inherent in the mantra itself available to you.  If you chant the mantra without the unsealing/unnailing mantras-you do derive some benefit-just not to the fullest possible degree.   The unsealing/unnailing mantras are in Namadeva's 3 Volume set...he also includes them in his Mysterious Kundalini Workshop.  (If you do not have the 3 Volume set, you can purchase it at Namadevas website) www.sanskritmantra.com I will check and let you know which volume has the mantras-there are a couple different mantras.   I would have to look to see which of the 3 volumes...I can let you know later-if you are interested. I will leave it up to Namadeva if he wants to share the content of the mantra itself in this forum. Namaste, Mary   To: SanskritMantras@... From: sparkymantra@...

More "Chris Geiser" 4/8/09   Namaste Mary,   Thank you for the information!!   How do we know whether or not a mantra needs to be unsealed or unnailed?  I haven't unsealed/unnailed any mantras yet, since I've only worked with mantras from Namadeva's books and CDs and assumed that they're not sealed/locked.   Many thanks,   Chris   . . . More Mary Huddleston 4/8/09   Namaste Chris, Good question...I know that some mantras are sealed and nailed because it has been in Namadeva's workshop materials or books.  Others indicators that the un-sealing/un-nailing mantra can be useful is if the title around the mantra includes words like "secret" or "hidden" or "mysterious".   You only need to chant the unsealing mantra 3 times...so, if in doubt, I'll chant it...that the unsealing may make the full benefit/power of the mantra available to me!

More "Chris Geiser" 4/8/09   Namaste Mary,   Thank you for your advice.  The books or CDs did not indicate the need for unsealing or unnailing of the mantras that I've done so far, nor were these mantras described as "secret" or "hidden" or "mysterious."  So, I'm in good shape so far.  I'll chant the unsealing mantra when in doubt.   Thanks again.   Chris   PS I've just searched the archived emails and found more information, including this note from Bill (thank you, Bill!).  Bill, I believe you mentioned Eim Eim Sauh Klim Klim, Eim Sauh Sauh Klim, which is used to unnail/unseal mantras, in another email as well.   On Sun, Nov 2, 2008 at 1:11 PM, Bill Barry wrote: During the past month or so, I've been doing a daily practice of the Pancha Dasi mantra, for which it is recommended that we remove the seal & nail on the mantra prior to chanting it.   This is the first time I've been using a practice to unseal or un-nail a mantra, and I'm starting to get a little curious about sealing and nailing, and I'm wondering if anyone can offer any insights or point me towards some add'l info resources on this.    A little context for this topic is this: In the large Teacher of Mantra manual, on page 78, Namadeva explains that "In ancient times some mantras were esoterically and secretly "locked" so that the power would not be released simply by chanting them.  This practice was called "sealing and nailing" the mantra.  The seed sound Kshraum is  one method for unsealing mantras that may be sealed and nailed and need releasing.  Meditate on Kshraum and in your mind's eye see the thing being unlocked and available".    Also, in Namadeva's workshop on the Mysterious Kundalini, he offers three brief methods for the removal of the Seal and Nail on a mantra.    I'm a little curious about the mechanics of  how this esoteric practice is accomplished. I'm mostly curious about how the unsealing & un-nailing process either unlocks something that is mysteriously encapsulating(?) the mantra  or perhaps unlocks something in the chanter to then allow him or her to have access to the power of the mantra.     A more pragmatic question is this. For mantras that need to be unsealed,  is there a threshold number of repetitions of a mantra, beyond which the chanter no longer needs to unseal or un-nail the mantra, prior to each session with that mantra?  I could guess that perhaps the 125,000 first level of mantra siddhi might be such a threshold…. ?  or?   Anyone have any insights on this? Or know of any other reliable references on this?    Thanks and Eim Eim Sauh Klim Klim, Eim Sauh Sauh Klim Bill           . . . More Bill Barry 4/10/09   Hi Chris:  Glad to know that my earlier email was helpful.  You mentioned Chris, that you searched the archived emails and found more info.  Yes, that is a fantastic way to access a wealth of past advice and insights on these topics.  Searching (by keyword or phrase") within the old “messages” archive within the Yahoo website for this Yahoo group, is a powerful way to leverage the info in those prior emails, to serve current needs.   Hi Stephen:  regarding the Pancha Dasi mantra: a couple of points are these. - I agree with  Mary’s point about learning more on the Pancha Dasi or the unsealing/unnailing techniques... I’d say the best place to learn more on this is Namadeva’s workshop on the Mysterious Kundalini.    - David Frawley’s writings were mentioned.  A more recent book by Frawley is his “Inner Tantric Yoga: Working with the Universal Shakti: Secrets of Mantras, Deities and Meditation”.    This book has a section of about 10 pages mostly focused on the Pancha Dasi.  It is an excellent book.    Jai Hayagriva. Bill More "sparkymantra" 4/14/09   Hi everyone, thanks for your reply. So just to double check: Are the unnailing mantras the three mantras listed under "Removal of Seal & Nail" on pg 243 (of volume 1)? Or does the unnailing mantras include all 4 steps listed on pg 243? Thanks. . . . More Bill Barry 4/14/09   Sparky. For those relatively rare mantras that should be unsealed/unnailed, you can use any one of those 3 listed on page 243 of the Ancient Power Series Vol. 1.  So, you pick the one that you want to use, and chant it 3 times just before doing the mantra that (you have been instructed ) needs to be unlocked.    Om Shanti Bill. . . . More "sparkymantra" 4/15/09   Ah, I see. I think I finally got it now :) Thanks for answering my question, Bill! . . . More Previous Topic Next Topic Messages More
