Hanuman Mantra Practice: Your Secret Tool To Gain Super Power

Published

July 19, 2019

Hanuman is the Monkey God that symbolizes powerful energy and incredible strength. Hanuman mantra chanting is a powerful tool you can use to gain physical strength, stamina, and devotion. In addition, the Hanuman mantra helps to get rid of the negative influence of Saturn and Mars on your life, thus, saving you from serious problems and troubles, and removes obstacles in your way.

Hanuman – the Personification of the Subordinate Mind

In Hindu symbolism, a monkey represents the human mind, which is constantly in anxiety. Our mind is exactly what we have to achieve total control over. We cannot control the world around us, but we can control our mind. The very important thing we should always remember is that we should accept what we cannot change and wisely and consciously choose our reactions to any events in our life.

According to the Hindu point of view, there is no objective world; the whole manifested world is a subjective phenomenon created by our own self. We, as humans, have the unique ability to control our mind. In other words, we are able to change the way we perceive life. By changing our perceptions of life, we have the power to change the world we live in, the reality we choose for ourselves.

Hanuman mantra practice helps us to gain control of the mind and turn the victim (that we used to be) into a hero (that who we really are inside).

He is a symbol of the perfect mind, embodying the high potential of great opportunities.

The Story of Hanuman Birth

Hanuman was born to Anjana and Kesari. He is also called the son of the deity Vayu (Wind God) due to the legends associated with Vayu’s role in Hanuman’s birth.

When Anjana was worshiping Shiva, the King Dasharatha of Ayodhya was also performing the ritual of Putrakama yagna in order to have children. As a result, he received some sacred pudding (payasam) to be shared by his three wives which led to the births of Rama, Lakshmana, Bharata, and Shatrughna. By divine ordinance, a kite snatched a fragment of that pudding and dropped it while flying over the forest where Anjana was engaged in worship. Vayu (Wind God) delivered the falling pudding to the outstretched hands of Anjana, who consumed it. Hanuman was born to her as a result.

According to Vedic legends, Hanuman was born in the Kingdom of Kishkindha.

Hanuman – One of the Main Characters of the Epic Poem “Ramayana”

Hanuman came to earth at the same time as Rama, the great ruler of the Solar Dynasty, who ruled for 11,000 years. The time of his reign is referred to as “Rama Rajya” – the Golden age. He strengthened the foundations of Dharma on Earth. During that time, righteousness, virtue, and piety among our planet were the norm. His reign was not tainted by suffering, grief, humiliation, and injustice. Each person was the personification of the brightest qualities. No one thought anything bad. There was absolute compliance with the principles of “Yama and Niyama” known to us as quite difficult to fulfill in our period of Kali-Yuga.

Ramayana tells us about a highly developed civilization that once existed on our planet. Rama was incarnated on Earth in order to become a model of ideal behavior for his people, to show by his example what qualities everyone should have. He came to Earth in order to relieve people from suffering and to give happiness, for he who has power, bears great responsibility for his people.

Also, Rama’s mission was to highlight to humanity in the example of the demon Ravana – his antipode – all the vices that he possessed, whether lust, anger, or greed, and show all their meaninglessness and decay, as well as what they lead to. Ravana was to become the personification of those qualities that Rama’s Light had to destroy. The confrontation of Rama and Ravana led to the victory of the forces of Light, which is the evidence of the inevitable outcome of the eternal struggle between good and evil.

Many Gods also were embodied in this time on Earth. Hanuman was one of them.

Hanuman Yantra

The Hanuman Yantra is a sacred geometric structure, the conductor of cosmic energy, harmonizing space and giving the concentration on certain qualities, as well as transforming the energy of low vibrations, raising it to the higher level.

When focusing on the center of the Hanuman yantra during your Hanuman mantra chanting it provides protection from adversity, gives strength and courage to overcome difficulties, gives bravery, provides confidence and removes self-doubt.

Place the Hanuman yantra on your altar in such a way that it’s facing the North or East. This Yantra will be powerful protection for your house!

Some important rules:

do not allow anyone to touch the Hanuman Yantra;
do not allow it to get dusty;
keep the place where the Hanuman Yantra is located very clean;
as well as the place where it stands, should always be kept clean, as it will be charged with energy emitted by amber;
every time you meditate on mantra you should chant Hanuman mantra.

When you’re using Yantra meditation during your mantra chanting, the power of your mantra increases multiple times!

Hanuman Chalisa

Hanuman Chalisa is a poem praising Hanuman. It was written by the Indian medieval poet, sage and philosopher Goswami Tulsidas.

Many people read Hanuman Chalisa as a daily mantra several times a day. It is an analog of Puranic protective hymns and allows to harmonize the state of consciousness and balance the energy.

It is believed that anyone who sings Hanuman Chalisa 100 times daily with sincerity gets freedom from the shackles of the material world and reach the highest realms of the spiritual Kingdom. Those who chant the Hanuman Chalisa 40 times daily will get freedom from all financial and other material difficulties.

Hanuman Chalisa Translation:

After cleansing the mirror of my mind with the pollen dust of holy Guru’s Lotus feet. I Profess the pure, untainted glory of Shri Raghuvar which bestows the four-fold fruits of life.(Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha).

Fully aware of the deficiency of my intelligence, I concentrate my attention on Pavan Kumar and humbly ask for strength, intelligence, and true knowledge to relieve me of all blemishes, causing pain.

Victory to thee, O’Hanuman! Ocean of Wisdom – All hail to you O’Kapisa! (fountain-head of power, wisdom, and Shiva-Shakti). You illuminate all the three worlds (Entire cosmos) with your glory.

You are the divine messenger of Shri Ram. The repository of immeasurable strength, though known only as Son of Pavan (Wind), born of Anjani.

With Limbs as sturdy as Vajra (The mace of God Indra) you are valiant and brave. On you attends good Sense and Wisdom. You dispel the darkness of evil thoughts.

Your physique is beautiful golden colored and your dress is pretty. You wear earrings and have long curly hair.

You carry in your hand a lightening bolt along with a victory flag and wear the sacred thread on your shoulder.

As a descendant of Lord Sankar, you are a comfort and pride of Shri Kesari. With the luster of your Vast Sway, you are propitiated all over the universe.

You are the repository of learning, virtuous and fully accomplished, always keen to carry out the behests of Shri Ram.

You are an ardent listener, always so keen to listen to the narration of Shri Ram’s Life Stories. Your heart is filled with what Shri Ram stood for. You therefore always dwell in the hearts of Shri Ram, Lakshman, and Sita.

You appeared before Sita in a Diminutive form and spoke to her in humility. You assumed an awesome form and struck terror by setting Lanka on fire.

With over-whelming might, you destroyed the Asuras (demons) and performed all tasks assigned to you by Shri Ram with great skill.

You brought Sanjivan (A herb that revives life) and restored Lakshman back to life, Shri Raghuvir (Shri Ram) cheerfully embraced you with his heart full of joy.

Shri Raghupati (Shri Ram) lustily extolled your excellence and said: “You are as dear to me as my own brother Bharat.”

Thousands of living beings are chanting hymns of your glories; saying thus, Shri Ram warmly hugged him (Shri Hanuman).

When prophets like Sanka, even the Sage like Lord Brahma, the great hermit Narad himself, Goddess Saraswati and Ahisha (one of the immeasurable dimensions).

Even Yamraj (God of Death) Kuber (God of Wealth) and the Digpals (deputies guarding the four corners of the Universe) have been vying with one another in offering homage to your glories. How then, can a mere poet give adequate expression of your super excellence.

You rendered a great service to Sugriv. You united him with Shri Ram and he installed him on the Royal Throne. By heeding your advice, Vibhishan became Lord of Lanka. This is known all over the Universe.

On your own you dashed upon the Sun, which is at a fabulous distance of thousands of miles, thinking it to be a sweet luscious fruit.

Carrying the Lord’s Signet Ring in your mouth, there is hardly any wonder that you easily leaped across the ocean.

The burden of all difficult tasks of the world become light with your kind grace.

You are the sentry at the door of Shri Ram’s Divine Abode. No one can enter it without your permission,

All comforts of the world lie at your feet. The devotees enjoy all divine pleasures and feel fearless under your benign Protection.

You alone are befitted to carry your own splendid valor. All the three worlds (entire universe) tremor at your thunderous call.

All the ghosts, demons and evil forces keep away, with the sheer mention of your great name, Oh Mahaveer!!

All diseases, pain, and suffering disappear on reciting regularly Shri Hanuman’s holy name.

Those who remember Shri Hanuman in thought, words and deeds with Sincerity and Faith, are rescued from all crises in life.

All who hail, worship and have faith in Shri Ram as the Supreme Lord and the king of penance. You make all their difficult tasks very easy.

Whosoever comes to you for the fulfillment of any desire with faith and sincerity, Will he alone secure the imperishable fruit of human life.

All through the four ages, your magnificent glory is acclaimed far and wide. Your fame is Radiantly acclaimed all over the Cosmos.

You are Saviour and the guardian angel of Saints and Sages and destroy all Demons. You are the angelic darling of Shri Ram.

You can grant to anyone, any yogic power of Eight Siddhis (power to become light and heavy at will) and Nine Nidhis (Riches, comfort, power, prestige, fame, sweet relationship, etc.). This boon has been conferred upon you by Mother Janki.

You possess the power of devotion to Shri Ram. In all rebirths, you will always remain Shri Raghupati’s most dedicated disciple.

Through hymns sung in devotion to you, one can find Shri Ram and become free from sufferings of several births.

If at the time of death one enters the Divine Abode of Shri Ram, thereafter in all future births he is born as the Lord’s devotee.

One need not entertain any other deity for Propitiation, as a devotion of Shri Hanuman alone can give all happiness.

One is freed from all the sufferings and ill fated contingencies of rebirths in the world. One who adores and remembers Shri Hanuman.

Hail, Hail, Hail, Shri Hanuman, Lord of senses. Let your victory over the evil be firm and final. Bless me in the capacity as my supreme guru (teacher).

One who recites Chalisa one hundred times becomes free from the bondage of life and death and enjoys the highest bliss at last.

All those who recite Hanuman Chalisa (The forty Chaupais) regularly are sure to be benedicted. Such is the evidence of no less a witness as Bhagwan Sankar.

Tulsidas as a humble devotee of the Divine Master stays perpetually at his feet, he prays “Oh Lord! You enshrine within my heart and soul.”

Oh! conqueror of the Wind, Destroyer of all miseries, you are a symbol of Auspiciousness. Along with Shri Ram, Lakshman and Sita, reside in my heart. Oh! King of Gods.

Hanuman Mantra

In addition to the Hanuman Chalisa, which has the power of a mantra, there are also short mantras that radiate vibrations of pure bhakti energy, help to gain strength, courage, and the steadfast confidence. These mantras help on the Path of spiritual development to overcome any difficulties, leading to the higher spheres of life, raising us to higher levels of consciousness.

Hanuman mantra chanting activates prana, awakens consciousness and purifies our thoughts. Also, Hanuman mantra is used in cases when it is necessary to get rid of any dependence, attachment, or bad habits.

Praises to the Twenty-One Taras (English And Tibetan Versions)

Published

3 months ago

October 10, 2019

Katya Ki

Praises to the Twenty-One Taras is a traditional prayer in Tibetan Buddhism to the female Bodhisattva Tara. When you chant these praises, something magical happens and you feel yourself transcend into another realm. Every word/syllable you pronounce with your deep concentration transcends your consciousness. In this article, I will introduce you to the Twenty-One Taras and to the magical practice of Praises to the Twenty-One Taras.

Twenty-One Taras

Each of the twenty-one emanations of Tara is a different color and an entity in her own right, addressing different manifestations of our existence that require assistance from the goddess.

Here is a description of the Twenty-One Taras:

Red Tara, the quick heroine who grants the power of control and effective persuasion.
The Great Peaceful White Tara, who pacifies spirit harms, negative karma, delusions, and diseases.
The Great Increasing One, Golden Tara, who increases life, merit, good fortune, fame, and prosperity.
The Great Long-Life Yellow Tara, who grants longevity.
The Great Hum-making Orange Tara, who brings other beings close to you.
Black-Red Tara, victorious over the Three Worlds, who protects from spirit harm.
Black Tara, slightly wrathful, who dispels all black magic and harmful spells.
Red Tara, destroyer of the enemy Mara, who destroys the four types of mara.
White Tara, the three sublime, who protects all beings from fear and danger.
Red Tara, destroyer of maras, who controls the world.
Orange Tara, eliminator of poverty, who brings wealth.
The Orange Tara of auspicious beauty, who makes everything auspicious.
Fire-Blazing Red Tara, who pierces your enemy (which is the delusion of your own mind).
Black Tara, slightly wrinkled and wrathful, who pierces interference.
White Tara, the great pacifier, who brings harmony.
Red Tara, liberating with wisdom-Hum, for wisdom and increasing the power of mantras.
Orange Tara, shaking the three worlds, who controls the power of mantras.
White Tara, who eliminates poisons and overcomes their effects.
White Tara, for release from prison and overcoming quarrels and fights.
Orange Tara, for eliminating contagious diseases.
White Tara, whose venerable actions make all activities successful.

How To Practice Praises To The Twenty-One Taras?

Go slowly initially, and feel the words, syllables, and their meanings transcending your consciousness. Soon you will discover your own rhythm.

As you recite, contemplate as follows: with each praise and prostration, just as one spark of fire comes from another, a replica of Tara manifests and sinks into you.

Visualization

While reciting the Praises to the Twenty-One Taras it’s very beneficial to perform the following visualization.

Visualize how The white syllable āḥ consisting of light, appears in your heart. It turns into a white lunar disk. In the center of the disc appears the green syllable Tāṃ. This syllable represents the essence of the bliss-filled, omniscient mind of Tara, embodying wisdom and compassion. There are the syllables of the mantra OM TARE TUTTARE TURE SOHA around the Tam syllable on the lunar disk. These syllables of the mantra are created out of the green light.

Visualize how a rainbow light emanates in all directions from the syllable Tam. This light is calling Tara, who then appears in the space in front of you.

Tara is sitting on the Lotus flower and the moon disk. She is young and extraordinarily beautiful. Her Divine body is made of emerald light. Her right-hand rests on her right knee in a gesture of giving.

With her left hand, she is holding the blue Lotus.

Her left leg is tucked in and her right leg is slightly extended. Her face is radiant with beauty, and with loving-kindness she is smiling.

Space around Her is filled with 21 Tara, as well as all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.

Visualize that all living beings are sitting around you. And you are performing Praises to the Twenty-One Taras for all these beings and the whole world.

The Praises To The Twenty-One Taras (English Version)

Let me and all who needs protection,
Enter beneath your right-hand mudra
Of granting boons and refuge mudra,
And be relieved from every fear.

OM I prostrate to the goddess foe destroyer, liberating lady Tara
Homage to TARE, saviouress, heroine,
With TUTTARE dispelling all fears,
Granting all benefits with TURE,
To her with sound SOHA, I bow.

Invocation

From your sublime abode at the Potala, O Tara,
Born from the green letter TAM
Your crown adorned with Amitabha,
Action mother of the buddhas of the three times,
Tara, please come with your attendants.

The gods and demi-gods bow to your lotus feet, O Tara,

By practicing this powerful mantra, we begin to feel our unity with the whole world. As a result, we start feeling more centered. Our souls come to peace and harmony.

In this article, I’ll share with you what peace mantra is, how to chant it, and why so many people all over the world chant its sacred syllables daily.

What Is Peace Mantra?

The mantra OM SHANTI SHANTI SHANTI OM is the Peace mantra.

OM Syllable

Om is the sound of the whole cosmic manifestation.

The value of the mantra OM was emphasized by many sages and yogins. Patanjali said that one can achieve enlightenment by sitting in Padmasana (Lotus Pose) and chanting the OM mantra with full attention (while concentrating the mind on the meaning of OM mantra).

OM is also considered to be a Bija mantra (the “seed” or awakening sound, which has the property of directly affecting all our subtle bodies).

Like a bullet passing through the tissues, OM penetrates the entire being of the practitioner, starting from the physical body and ending with the causal body.

Moreover, it is believed that it is from the OM sound (vibration) that our entire manifested Universe was born in the form in which we now observe it – a magnificent illusion, which appears dense and real to the unenlightened.

OM is not just the universal sound (vibration), but the sound of the Universe itself.

For example in the Mandukya Upanishad, it is said:

Om! — This syllable is this whole world.
Its further explanation is: —
The past, the present, the future — everything is just the word Om.
And whatever else that transcends threefold time — that, too, is just the word Om.

Therefore we can say that OM symbolizes reality. It represents everything in the universe, past, present, and future. It is also believed that OM represents both – the mundane world of time in which the mind normally functions, and the world as perceived by the mind that is awakened and that experiences the world timelessly. OM vibration represents both –enlightenment and non-enlightenment.

We can say that OM is the equivalent of white light, in which all of the colors of the rainbow can be found.

Shanti

Shanti means peace, rest, calmness, tranquility, or bliss. It is a state in which one experiences a reverent, conscious calmness and the inspiration of full awareness of what is happening.

This state can be called a state in which one is awed by the realization of higher truths, values, and purpose. It can be achieved only after a deep experience of calmness and inspiration.

In some Buddhist texts, “Shanti” sometimes becomes synonymous with Nirvana. As you may know, Nirvana is the experience of infinite peace and tranquility. Therefore the words ‘Nirvana’ and ‘Shanti’ are used as synonymous. In the Hindu Pantheon, there is even a Goddess named Shanti, whose main purpose is to help in achieving a state of blissful and infinite tranquility.

OM Shanti

‘Om Shanti‘ means peace for the all humankind, peace for all living and nonliving beings, peace for the Universe, peace for everyone and everything in this whole cosmic manifestation. Shortly, it can be translated as “Peace Be With You”.

Chanting the word ‘Shanti’ 3 times has a meaning too:

The first ‘Shanti’ liberates us from physical burdens. It purifies us from negative thoughts related to our etheric bodies.

The second ‘Shanti’ cleanses our mind and soul. It purifies our minds from negative emotions like jealousy, hatred, anger, and worries.

The third ‘Shanti’ creates a protective energy shield that hides us from accidents and natural disasters.

Some spiritual teachers indicate that when Shanti mantra is repeated three times, the first repetition of ‘Shanti’ represents the establishment of peace on the planet (no disasters), the second repetition of ‘Shanti’ represents the establishment of peace in the society (no wars), and the third repetition of ‘Shani’ represents the establishment of peace in the soul of the practitioner.

Thinking this way, the practitioner manifests happiness for everyone, claims that he/she cares not only about his/her own well-being, but also wants the best for the whole planet and humanity.

Shanti mantra is considered to be one of the most powerful mantras used to achieve peace of mind and soul. This mantra conveys a deep sense of universal peace and serenity, called Nirvana. It is this state that allows us to merge with eternity and achieve inner and outer peace.

Osho Interpretation of the Peace Mantra

This is what Indian mystic Osho said about the Peace mantra:

OM is the symbol of the universal heartbeat; it is not a word. And as you come closer and closer to the universal heartbeat, the by-product is a deepening silence. Shanti means silence and it is always repeated three times because by the time you reach to the fourth, you are no more – just the silence has remained. You have disappeared as an entity separate from the universe.
– Osho

Shanti Mantra Benefits

Shanti mantra is based on two basic principles that, in fact, can not exist separately: harmony with the outside world and your inner spirituality. When we are chanting this powerful mantra we balance these two principles in our lives. So even if we see some events or situations that go against our spiritual beliefs we don’t get frustrated about them anymore. We develop an understanding that there is nothing unfair in this world, that everything has its purpose. In other words, we start seeing the material world through the prism of spirituality.

It is even surprising that just a couple of simple syllables have such power!!

Other Benefits of Shanti Mantra:

cleanses your aura from negative energy;
brings you inner peace and balance;
adjusts the energy flows in your subtle body;
removes negative feelings, thoughts, and emotions;
cleanses the space around you from negative and toxic energy;
prepares you to receive true wisdom and knowledge;
relaxes and calms down;
increases focus and concentration;
brings the feeling of unity with the world;
relieves anxiety and depression;
helps to see the higher purpose, etc.

How to Chant the Peace Mantra?

The Peace mantra should be repeated three times (referring to the word ‘Shanti’) on the exhale.

When chanting ‘Shanti’ the first time it should be pronounced clearly and very loudly so that Nature can hear your chant. It is believed that this call calms raging forces of nature, even such as tsunamis, volcanoes, and earthquakes.

When chanting ‘Shanti’ the second time it should be pronounced quieter as if calling for silence and serenity in the world. This minimizes all scandals, illness, quarrels, injuries, and other troubles.

When chanting ‘Shanti’ the third time it should be pronounced very quietly, almost whispering. It is an appeal to one’s own spiritual world or subconscious, calling the soul to complete calm.

The Bottom Line

According to Buddhist teaching, living ethically is a path to peace. In Buddhist ethical practice, this means abstaining from actions that cause harm to yourself or others. In other words, we should not only cultivate our inner peace but also take peace into the world by practicing compassion, and by living ethically. Therefore, if you decided to start practicing the Peace mantra, you should be focusing on peaceful ethical living. The bare minimum you can do is trying to avoid causing physical harm through direct physical actions or through encouraging others to cause harm.

Katya Ki

In my article “Maitreya: the Coming of the Future Buddha” I shared with you who Maitreya is, when He comes, and what awaits humanity with His arrival. In this article, I want to introduce you to a very powerful mantra that literally transforms your life into divine existence. This mantra is Maitreya Buddha Mantra. By chanting this mantra you will not just improve your life but also it will assist the manifestation of the Maitreya Buddha arrival on our planet.

Maitreya Buddha – the Buddha of Future

Tushita Heaven Image — Buddha’s Descent from Tushita Heaven

Maitreya is the Buddha of the future, the fifth teaching Buddha in this eon of 1,000 Buddhas. He is a bodhisattva who will appear on Earth in the future, achieve complete enlightenment, and teach the pure dharma. He will be a successor to the present Buddha, Gautama Buddha.

The name ‘Maitreya’ is derived from the Sanskrit word ‘maitrī’ which can be translated as ‘friendship’, which is in turn derived from the noun ‘mitra’ which can be translated as ‘friend’.

According to the Mahayana tradition, as a bodhisattva, He refuses to achieve nirvana because of His compassion for all sentient beings and His need to be reborn again for protecting and taking care of others. Therefore Maitreya Buddha is often called “the embodiment of loving-kindness”.

When Maitreya Buddha arrives on Earth, He will preach loving-kindness and inspire others to follow a virtuous path to enlightenment.

Maitreya Buddha Mantra Benefits

Maitreya Buddha Mantra can be chanted for receiving blessings, abundance, wealth and happiness. However, there are two primary reasons for chanting this mantra:

To take rebirth in Tushita Heaven, so as to receive the teaching of the Dharma;
To gain sufficient merits as to obtain a rebirth during Maitreya’s appearance on Earth, to hear His teachings and to be saved by Him.

As a compassionate being, Maitreya always helps to those who chant His mantra with faith, purity of intention, and effort.

Seed Mantra of Maitreya

The Maitri mantra is a seed mantra associated with Maitreya.

Maitreya Buddha Mantra Translation by Lama Yeshe:

”Homage to the Lord Shakyamuni, Tathagata, Arhat, Completely Perfect Buddha
Om Invincible, Invincible, Unconquered
Conquer the Unconquered, take, take
You Who Look Down with Friendliness, act, act
Bring, bring the fulfillment of your great pledge
Shake the seat of great awakening
Remember, remember pledge for us
Awakening, awakening, great awakening, soha.”

Visualization

While chanting (or listening) the mantra, visualize Maitreya Buddha sitting on a throne supported by eight snow lions, and He is about to rise in response to your prayer.

There is a stupa on His head, symbolizing respect for Shakyamuni Buddha. Above His head is a parasol, one of the eight auspicious objects, signifying Maitreya’s powers of protection against evil influences.

The Bottom Line

Maitreya Buddha Mantra is long, and the syllables take time to get used to, but once they penetrate your mind, the mantra creates its own magic. Soon you will find yourself drifting, and feeling unaccountably happy.
