![]() In the Vaishnava Upanishads, the Samashti-Yantra, the words described over Ananta, the seat of Vishnu, bear the ashtakshara. Ishvara/ Virata/ Purusha/ Bhagavan/ Paramatma ![]() The sage and philosopher Yajnavalkya provides an explanation of the breakdown of the components of the mantra: Syllable Hence, it is a mantra that is associated with submission to God, accepting one's existence in the grand design, as well as seeking the protection of Vishnu. Nara refers to “water”, and anaya means “abode” or “shelter.” Narayana is an epithet of Vishnu, whose celestial realm is Vaikuntha, amid the cosmic waters of creation. Narayanaya is a term that may be translated as "to or of Narayana". Namo can be translated from Sanskrit as “to bow to” or “to pay homage to”, as well as refer to an individual's name. They are the natural vibrations of these devatas as heard by the yogic ears of our Sages.Statue of Narayana, the addressee of this mantraĪccording to the Tarasara Upanishad, om is the divine sacred syllable that represents the nature of Brahman, the Ultimate Reality that is unchanging and eternal. Sages hear such vibrations and give them to us in the form of beeja mantras such as रं and वं.īeeja mantras are there for devatas as well such as गं for Ganesha, ह्रीं for Shakti. ![]() The human ear doesn't have the ability to hear the vibration of fire because of its limited range of frequencies. The beeja mantras are near-equivalents of the natural vibrations of objects as picked up by the yogic ears of our Sages. ![]() Similarly, लं is the beeja mantra of the earth element, वं is the beeja mantra of the water element, हं is the beeja mantra of ether element, and यं is the beeja mantra of the air element.Īlthough the yogic ear is not as powerful as the absolute ear, it is still far more powerful than a normal human ear. Vibrations picked up by the yogic ear are called natural sound. Yet an absolute ear or yogic ear can sense the vibrations from that fire. The vibrations stimulate your skin, which causes you to feel the heat. Your eyes are stimulated by its vibrations, so you can see it. When vibrations from a certain object reach our sensory organs and stimulate them, we perceive it.įor example, let's say you are sitting in front of a fire. The yogic ear can hear far below 20 Hz and far above 20 kHz. The hearing power of the yogic ear is far beyond the human range. The human ear hears frequencies only in the range of 20 Hz to 20 kHz. Vibrations of various patterns occur around these centers. Several constituting forces generate causal stress at each such point.Įvery object or being that we perceive in the world is one such center of causal stress. It will generate waves around another point. ![]() It produces waves around a particular point. The cause of this result is the stress generated by the constituting forces. This stress could result in us both falling or moving together or our hands aching. When viewed from the outside, as a result of us pulling at each other we are in a state of stress as a whole. We call these two forces the constituting forces of the action between us. In order to understand what a beeja mantra is, we first need to look at a few technical terms - constituting forces, causal stress, absolute ear, and yogic ear. ![]()
