Ashtakshara Mahime

• unless and untill 2 lakhs f ashtaxar is completed no other stotra japa phala appears conspicouos !!!! this is in ashtaxar matmya !!
• SOme of the pearls from Tantrasara sangraha and its vyakhyana on JAPA and its siddhi ...
• 1> without upadesha of GURU , ,shraddha ch japakarmani [ concentration ] , phalatiiti ch vishwaas.h treeni siddhistu kaaranam
• 2> acharyaadanabhipraapt.h prraptashchadattdakshina.h abhyastoapi sadaa mantra.h shreayase navakalpate ... e without upadesha from guru and without giving dakshina mantra will not give pahala even if one does japa always of these mantras ..... SO DAANA s more important in japa
• 3> MOST IMPORTANT aspect TOLD BY SRIMADANANDATEERTHA ....
• Sarvebhypabhyadhikaa bhaktirVISHNOu syaadatinishchalaaaa | LAxmibramhaadisu tata.h kraMENA syaat subhaashita | evema VIDYAA phalaishyanti nanayathaa tu kathanchana
• one must have BHAKTI in VISHNU more than anyone else and that BHAKTI should b UNDAUNTED DHRUDA NISHCHALA and also one must have BHAKTI in decreasing order towards LAXMi BRAMHA and other dieties as per TAARTAMYA .. else NO japa vidyaa will give SIDDHI ..
• if you are doin daily 3000 ashtaxar morning evening it will add up .. else separate sankalapa is necessary
• ji, isn't ashtakshari the mantra that gives all desired? why not pursue ashtakshari japa above all else then?
• 4> SRIMADAANANDa teertharu says 'IF anyone thinks ,in MOXa or sansaara one is equal to VISHNU or NOT different fron VISHNU BRAMHA etc .. any mortal being equated to these , or IF anyone thinks he /or anyone else mortal or devata is not under the control of VISHNU BRAMHA etc .. even if he does JAPA for crores crores of kalpa , he will not get SIDDHI ...
• if any japa is undertaken taking grace of VAYUDEVA and VEDVYASA only then one will get SIDDHI
• November 18, 2012 at 9:34pm
• ONE who knows TAARTAMYA and does bhakti in bhaktas of VISHNU also ONLY THOSE will get SIDDHI of mantra
• KEEPING onself away from HARIDWESHA , keeping BHAKTI in HARI GURU bhakta , leaving KAAM krodha LObha .. mantra will give INSTANT siddhi [ so says SRIMADANANDATEERTHARU ]
• if done with KAAMNA dharmik KAAMNA pahalapeksha , dharm asiddhi ,., if done with NISHKAAM it will give infifnite SIDHHDI
• SVADHYAAYA gives crore times more phala than tushti ... BUT HARIU POOJA gives infinite times phala than SVADHYAYA ... than PANCHARATRA asks " amantraka kriyaa kvaapi naivarchadishu vidyate " there is no ARCHANA of LORD without MANTRA. ie DEVAPOOJA means MANTRA sadhana ...devata avahana etc everything is done by MANTRAS only ... hence MANTARA sadhan is greater than SVADHAYAYA ... infact it is MOXA sadhana ...
• WHEN only Parrabdha has to be exhausted , and if there is no dhyaanavastha [ in that prarabdha ] then JAPA is the only means to reduce PRARABDHA .." prarabdha karmaNyaksheeNE japena kathayaapi va |"
• JAP is best sadhana to spend time
• NOW you can ask qeustion
• RAmesh can you elaborate the question ?
• If the question is why do other japa like hayagreeva mukhya praaana etc when ASHTAXAARI alone can give all the desired ? then we must look at the issue as a TREE .. our LIFE is like a TREE
• just s tREE for Survival requires manure and continous water to the ROOTS [ moola ] ... so is the ASHTAXARI a moola mantra
• but when the tree is afflicted with pests , diseases , stubbed growth , not ripening of fruits , leaves getting dry , worms on bark , no juice in stems , fruits being tasteless or less sweet , altered flowering , less fragrance in flowers , seeds not being productive ...etc etc .. only watering the plant at roots will not solve these problems immediately ... it requires somemedicines , trimming , and the remedies as per VRUKSHAYURVEDA .. [ BUT still watering is the most imporatantactivity that has to be continued else tree will suffer ]
• moola mantra keeps the potency of all mantras sharp and agile
• without moola mantra , other mantras dont give phala quickly .. just like if tree is not watered properly .. no amount of medicines on tree ... pesticdes etc will not work ...
• TAMAS mantras are like CHEMICAL pesticides which do more harm than good to tree ..
• In that certain AVAISHNAVA sadhana .. is like GENETICally modifying the plants .. which results in unnatural products which are tasteless , seedless and useless in nature in the second generation
• In mantra shastra there is phala for every 25000 of ashtaxar done what will be its effect on the SHARIRA [ all the linga aniruddha sthula ] deha ... gradually how it will affect as one completes lakh of the japa 2 3 4 5 etc etc so on in each stages of 25000
• ASHtaxar can be done anywhere ...
• ashtaxara has a unique methdodology to do the dhyana of the mantra .. there are many variations .. and each has a prolific results ..
• ji my question is like this: 2 lakh ashtakshara mantra is already a great sadhana. Consider this as stage 1. Stage 2 would be, ' where would I apply this preparatory step? Ans: to the mantra that would give most bang for the buck..'
• ji the tree analogy is wonderful.
• ashtaxari should not used for desires [ is general advise ] BUT BHARADWAAJ muni uses it to save himself from a TIGER
• SO we cannot say that it does not give desires ... it does give ... BUT then what would you do IF YOU HAVE HAD ALL THEDESIRES ?
• not specific individual , but specific to which letter one is concentarting in the ashtaxar
• November 18, 2012 at 10:19pm via
• when all the desires have been fulfilled , one starts MOXA sadhana .. and this sadhana has many aspects ... many mantras have to be practised to get each aspect of KNOWLEDGE correct .. so just adhyayana is not enough ... MANTRA sadhana becomes very elaborate .. to achieve MOXA is not that easily obatined .. one has to struggle hard ... to crack each difficult NUT among the granthas and sutras .. one need certain sadhana .. only than certain topics become clear .. and that is knwon by GURU upadesha only
• sadhan pages have been opened to take each individual towards that goal .. but the journey is yet to begin for may .. many have not been able to even complete 24000 gayatri .. leav aside ashtaxar sadhana
• I am speakinga bout sadhan after 2 lakhs .. so there is long gap
• 24000 should be done every 6 months .. its manadatory ..
• one mujst use parva kaala [like ragahvendra aradhana , MADHVA navami , navratri , chaturmasa bali padyami , vijayadashamietc .. days some special days in panchanga like gurupushyamruta .. there are amny mnay yogas .. where these can be finsihed to keep abraest in sadhana ]
• then as we progress in completing moola .. [ remeber there are other moola too vasudev dwadashaxar , vishnu shadaxar vyahruti , purush sukta each ahs significance .. it must be practised
• NOW astaxar JApa and ASHTAXAR dhyaana are two different issues later oneis the improvement upon the previous ..
• DHYAAN is not possible without DHRIDHA gyaana .. so comes all other mantras ..
• In between somebody tries to CUT the TREE itself ? what to do ?
• GAYATRI ensures progress through births else oenw ill ever remain in andhakaara
• since gayatri is VISHWAMITRA rishi , ASHTAXARA is included to GET VISHNU SADHNA right
• yes Kavach mantras .. and LIFE is not that simple , it brings in TREE cutters of WORST kind and in increasing VIGOUR as sadhan increases .. SO there is TARTAMYA in KAVACAH ...
• ji, each statement of yours answers more and more why a single pronged approach is naive..
• Then intermittently one gets into IMPOSSIBLE situations .. where in RULES of WORLD and RULES of CONDUCT dont exactly match .. THEN one shoudl relyON extraordinary feat .. JUST AS MADHWACHARYA doing SAINYA STANMBAHNA oF YAVAN KING
• Vasan Vs when a sadhaka become sserious then there si YOGA every alternate day .. THATS wheer MUHURTA SHASHTRA come in .. astrology ... where I acn give YOGAS which are 1000 times better than SURYA GRAHAN aor CHANDRA GRAHANA or VYATIPAATa yoga .. like padma yoga etc etc ..
• without GAYATRI and ASHTAXARI nothing can be achieved .. more you want from LIFE first increase gayatri ASHATAXARI and then target your GOAL ..
• TARGET yoru GOAL has a METHODOLOGY , methododlogy means a mantra , a sadhana , and a upadesha , a avidyaa and an application , a kriya , a kalpa , a tanta , an aushadhi and then fianlly manpower too .... all these should be known ,,
• TO be knwon is again a sadhana ..
• sometime to get knwon , a knower is tobe found out , that is also a sadhana ..
• whence a founder is found , he does not depart with his knwoledge he needs to eb taken in to VASHA ... thats is again a sadhana ..
• so all these are part of LIFE .. one must first have goals , and then look for means .. GAYATRI makes all these easy ..
• NO women dont require gayatri
• its the grace of RAYARU .. where in this world you get a KNOWER .. RAYARU blesses with KNOWELDGE being the all KNOWING inside us .. so INVITE RAYARU to stay in YOUR heart .. antarangadalli nintu preriso anantadrish dwariye
• My JOB is to take you all till RAYARU ... so DONT give me CREDIT ... your achievemenst are due to RAYARU ONLY .. whether it HRSIHI HARIPRASAAD N OR ALUR or VIJU RAMESH RAGHU MOHAN and others .. all have been inspired by RAYARU .. thsi blog wordpress and limbutimbu chiraan is just like the one who take flag and runs around the field to isnpire PLAYERS
• KHEL wahi khelna chahiye jise ACHCI taraf se khelkna ataa ho
• ranji mein allowed hai na
• Ji Namma Rayaru would say as you did just now only.. All the way up the hierarchy.. To our smiling and wise Vayu - to our Great Mother Lakshmi Devi - who will point to mandasmita shaanta hrudaya purnajnana purnananda parabrahma Vishnu!
• SADHAN is a process its a habit .. one must get into it .. just discussing is NOT a great thing , trying it is GREAT thing .. and it is then you see all consuming ..
• BEING BRAMHANA is a responsibility .. its not just being the superior ,, its about doing that little bit of sadhan and enage in SWAHAYAY GAYATRI japa and veda adhyayana .. INSTEAD if we spend time something else to say we are INTELLEIGENT than its wastage of a CRORES OF BIRTHS
• why CRORES of BIRTHS , because you have already spent many births in earning money fame valour etc .. NOW AGAIN WHY ?
• it gives protection even if you are not alert
• ji could you elaborate on the statement that ashtakshari could be said anywhere?
• ashtaxar would have been given during UPANAYANA only
• OUR YATIS are our GURUs ... so we must include them in all our activities .. like if you are doing a MARRAIGE . your wedding card shoudl contain reference to MOOLMNAHAMAHASAMSTHANA and its presdiing YATI .. and with their blessings we family mkemebers are doing so and so so function , with their grace we invite .. THIS IS SADHANA
• i shall resume few hours later

• anga nyasa can be taken from books
• coming back to the point , a MUTT is very important in our lives .. WE must associate ourselves to a mUTT .. MUTT means not a place or temple or organisation .. IT IS OUR YATI [ present pontiff ] choos a good mutt where you have good relationship with the YATI , remember it should be a personal relationship , where your SADHAN Is understood by YATI and YATI reciprocates ..
• ONCE you locate such a YATI .. one must pay his respects to YATI , take upadesha ... and make that MUTT centre of our activity ..
• WHAT do we mean by center of activity ?
• CENTRE of activity means , visiting the mutt everyt thrusday [ this is sadhna ] ... doing daana , to the archaka of teh mutt regularly ... make this archaka YOUR FAMILY PUROHIT
• what is FAMILY PUROHIT ... ? getting homa parayana , shanti, pooja at home , shardhhd a etc through this PUROHIT .. only this serves the purpose of collective growth
• a PUROHIT is evry IMPORTANT , remember PANDAVAS had DHAOUMYA rishi as their PUROHIT later mandavya rishi ... RAMA had ANGIRASA as PUROHIT .. so PUROHIT makes certain things possible .. LIKE , when PANDAVAS were in EKCHAKRA PURA .. it was VEDVYASA who asked them to et a PUROHIT and then it is this PUROHIT by the inspiration of VYASA made PANDAVAS to go to KAMPILYA for SWAYAMVAR .. what does thisstory indicate ?
• In our lives we do not KNOW what to do NEXT ? neither it is advisable to take our own decisiuons in DOING things .. ONE must always do things as GUIDED by ELDERS and not as GUIDED BY OUR SENSES
• if things go in guided manner and we keep attaining success yet it will be unattached to US ..
• so onece we get a PUROHIT .. all our activities will be centered around a RAYAR MUTT .. THEN in PRACTICAL terms , keep it in mind that start every work with the invokation of this MUTT YATI and KULDEVATA ... and with the help of PUROHIT .. this will give eaase of upadesha , daana , and will ensure continuity ...
• THE CAUTION - do not frequently go to MUTT and start GUFFAWING with arcgakas , workers YATI , your relation should be completely spiritual .. less talk and less involvement ...
• whenever you come across a scholar . make sure YOU ASK a doubt and coax him to share his KNWOLEDGE , whwther you know the subject or not , dont interrupt , listen LISTEN LISTEN ...
• whenever you visit a RAYAR mutt " THINK WHAT MORE INNOVATIVELY I CAN SERVE RAYARU " this thinking will get you across to anew hieght
• REST FOR guidng this bLOG is there .. ONE can expand HORIZON here !!!!!
• krishnarpanamastu //// I think I have covered a l,ot
• dasha pranav is for pranayama .... YATI is always there in MOOLA mutt .. RAYAR is there in all mutt
• desh kaal sanmkeertyya ..............................manah kaaya shudhyartham , evam ashtaxar mantrapadartha devata anugraha sidhyartham laxa ashtaxar japam aham karishye .. BHARATIYA RAMAN MUKHYAPRANANTARGAT LAXMI NARAYANA prithyartham SRi BHARTAHIRAMAN MUKHYAPRANANTARGAT LAXMINARAYANA supreeto bhava Srikrishnarpanamastu ..
• As per sankalpa ... if it is for just temple visit four ... if it is for fullfillment of YATRA harike , then yathashakti .....if it is seva purpose then 11 or 21 ....or 108 ,, namaskara for normal purpose at the end of the pradakshina , if for seva then 8 corners ..
• doing in madi is diferent sadhana , doing as and ewhen is for another purpose ..
• yes it can be done
• doing in maid is ideal for beginners ...
• we can do in morning ... butdhanurmasa approaching first DEVAPOOJA and naivedya and then japa sandhya etc .. [ thats exceptions dhanurmasa ]
• 4am
• naivedya should be over before suryoday
• we must coax YATI to reciprocate is what I mean ... without flocks joining and coaxing , how will they respond ... ?repeatedly involving them in spiritual talk , asking good questions , reminding them to answer back , will force them to CATER ... theyw il stop vrytha yatras paryatans and start SOLVING poroblems ..
• Iahve been given upadesha of more than 200mantras by eminent scholars and yatis .. some of them are from three generation above
• mantras should be practised , PARVAT shikhara < IMMERSED in RIVER < UNDER the VATA bilva samudra teer , upavan , shivalaya < shaligrama sannidhi
• it is the not responsibilty of shishya to assess himself
• upper vastra is compulsory
• sir pe nahi rakhna chahiye , uttariya is compulsory , in case it is not there then one additional janevu
• sesha vastra .
• Radhika Vadiraja asked "Guruji, as a lady cannot do Gayatri or Ashtaakshari .. . Please guide me which mantra to chant, no., of times & when to start... The mantra you give here, could I take it as Upadeesaha and start... Pl advise. Krishna Arpana " RAAM hrudya should be chanted .. that gives equivalent phala
• no uppar dress no pooja phala .. not accepted by LORD
