Introduction
In the last issue, we looked at the manifestation of the mAtrukAkSharAs. In this issue
we bring the praNava prakaraNa chapter from the yajna vaibhava khANDam of sUta
saMhitA. This chapter explains in detail the manifestation of the praNavA, why is it
called so, how is it related to the brahmam, and the benefits of contemplating on it.
Since praNavA was the subject, we decided to include the praNava japa karma,
praNava kavacam, and ashtOttarams.

From the nyAsa perspective, we have included yOga pITa nyAsam and shrI cakra
nyAsam.

These nyAsAs cannot be taken lightly and readers are strongly adviced to check with
their Gurus prior to start practicing any nyAsA or procedure as detailed in this issue.

We thank ShrI yOgAmbA samEta AtmAnandanAthA (Shri Ramesh Kutticad) for

authoring the Q&A section.
Lalithai vEdam sarvam.
Surrendering to the holy pAdukAs of Shri Guru,

ShrI sUtA says
Let me explain about Pranava briefly (without going in detail). Pranava can be classified
into two as para and apara.

mU mUiU o mllSSshq |
mMwh lu rxqimU o xupui || 2
The para classification has the lakShNa (characteristics) of knowledge and Ananda
(Bliss). The name praNava is derived from pra + nava.
Further explanation Since the brahmam by its own nature, without any other external
cause, is always more (pra) and new (nava) (due to the radiance of parAnanda
kUtashthA svarUpA), it is called pra-Nava.

AmU mhu xcNlSm xlqs |

mMwh luiuxr Wiiuimhuj u || 3
The apara praNavA is verily the pure shabda rUpa. The name praNava is derived from
pra + nava.
Further explanation Since the shabdA assists in reaching the brahmam which is
always more (pra) (and without any other external cause) and always new (nava), it is
called praNava.

mU memi xcNr mUr xW || 4

Once, prajApathi, with true devotion,

pxqsixuxmhQiqxiM |
eilSr eik eOusMsxri || 5
With bhasma dhAranA on his body, the tripundra shining on his forehead, sporting
jatAmudi, (did a penance) by shedding anger and by gaining control of all the senses.

xS mgcalqkrxj xqokrlmUrh |
iim mUq bU im xuixUrq || 6
His penance was so fierce that he stood in the middle of the five agnis (four agnis in the
four directions and the sun on the top) with complete focus on Sambha shivA. He did
this penance for 3 years.

x ml zMUxrxr mxSSqoMmi |
mjuqliU c Su cxeSxiM || 7
Oh! AstikAs, using Shankaras prasAda, prajApati created earth, heaven, and the
universe.

x ilprimssMxipr uSuS uU |
h eriwrerli mjur Lu i i || 8
PrajApathi consumed those three worlds and from them three jyOtIs (lights) were
formed.

Aerialur ohliUi |
Su SuMU xaUeri || 9

From the earth came agni, from the universe came vAyu, from the heaven came the
sun which is like the eye for the entire creation.

il cprimeeriwrexipr qWe |
r uS Aerli uSl mjqlsi || 10
BrahmA consumed those three jyOtIs as well. From those three vEdAs were born. From
the agnI came the first vEdA, rig.

reuSxij urUSirixqxi |
uSlprim o ipr qWe || 11
From vAyu, the yajur vEdA was born and from AdityA, sAma vEdA was born. Now,
brahmA consumed those vEdAs as well.

h zYslrerli i ouS uU |
GauSSu pxieuSuxij || 12
From those, three whites (radiant lights) were formed. From rig vEdA, bhuH was
formed; from yajur vEdA, bhuvaH was formed.

xquSixuxil zYslrprimimp |
ij iprpimiprxr uh eq || 13
From sAma vEda, suvaH was formed. Now, the great prajApati consumed those radiant
lights as well and from them three letters were formed.

Aerli qhu MOxrxqmp |

AMU ijMU qMUi xui || 14
Those three letters had the shine of one crore suns. Those letters are a, u, and m.

ilMk xqpUSe Aqirrmp |

ixqu zu xqo xuuxiuupxM |
mioqoiuqxil mhuxixr ucM || 15
11

BrahmA merged those three letters together and formed the single mantra auM ().
Now, shAmba sadAshivA, the ONE that resides everywhere and in everything and who
gives the radiance to every object, merged into as the reflection. Since pra
represents the pratibimbA (reflection) of shivA, it is also called as praNava.

imisWSucNpUpSimhum x |
xuupxM lirqpuimhQiq || 16
When an iron rod is heated, the agni is not explicit in it but resides implicitly within.
Similarly, shambu resides inherently within the word

ij iqiru uur xi il |
Aqi mW sMr il ixr ucM || 17
When people are questioned if they know a certain thing, they can respond as Yes I
know or simply OM. Thus, praNavA simply represents everything that is known.
Note: In those days, OM is uttered by everyone as a response to questions. Even in
these days, OM is further simplified into mm (yes) or mmhmm (no) or hmm? (doubt).
In addition, we can still see this practice among Tamils in Sri Lanka to literally respond
OM for an acknowledgement. This indicates the practice must have been prevalent in
the past to respond with OM.

Aij ijiqi mmi i ucM |

Aqi mW sMr ilixr ucM || 18
Similarly, when something is unknown, the response is also simply OM. Thus,
praNavA also represents everything that is unknown.

xSakrj i xSakqi mmi i ucM |

Aqi mW sMr il xSakucM | 19
12

Similarly, when something is in doubt, the response is also simply OM. Thus, praNavA
also represents everything that is doubtful.

AMzSmSjl r zoS ucM pu |

ul ilZsgzoSssM Aqi pwi || 20
When hearing about elements like AkAshA, the listener simply expresses OM as a
response.

Ai mraoWsrOMSzoSui |
AMzSmSjl ucM mhu xqi || 21
Thus, from a usage perspective, praNavA is very commonly used similar to words like
pot, sky etc and also ends up representing any of them as well.

xuupxMiul oh xSz xqi || 22

Since praNavA radiates through everything, it is equivalent to brahmam.

xuupxM qlqq emi r e |

xuqlemxr Ts x spicUi |
Ai xu mUirer xS qlqq emi || 23
Those (dvijAs) who chants this mantra that radiates through everything, they receive the
fruit of chanting all mantras that exist. Thus, it is important to shed everything and just
focus on this praNava japA.

Gwoxr qlxr ar NlS Ecri |

The Rishi for this mantra is brahmA, chandas is gAyatri and the dEvatA is none other
than the paramAtmA shambhu.

The Shakti for this mantra is aM

Those who understand vEdAntA proclaim that the bIjam for this mantra is uM and
maM. The expected result (viniyOgaM) is mOkshA.

As explained earlier, we are aware of the root for the three letters a, u, and m.
These were formed respectively from agnI, vAyu, and sUryA. Hence, they become the
seers (RishI) for these letters. The chandas for these letters are gAyatri, triShtup, and
bRuhati respectively.

NlSqx oucN uhl c rjqq |

The dEvatAs for these letters are brahmA, viShNu, and rudrA respectively.

The colors of these letters are red, white, and black respectively. These three letters
represent the avastAs jAgrat, svapnA, and sushupti respectively.

These three letters respectively represent bhU, antarikSha, and avarga locations;
udAtta, anudAttA, and svaritA accents (svaras); rig, yajur, and sAmA vEdAs.

Those who desire the siddhi of this mantra should perform the kara nyAsa starting from
the thumb till the little finger.

The nyAsa procedure that is done using the fingers is explained.

The upAsakA should do the karanyAsA using the mantrAs bhU, agni, and AtmA to
gain the siddhIs.

qhrlrx lp S c qkl |
Miur xurl mhul iju c || 37
Using the akAra, ukAra, and mkArA, one should perform the nyAsA at the navel,
heart, and top of the head. The same should be performed using praNavA as well.

SrSmSzw qhu eq |
pUalriql CirSqlh lrx DUi || 38
Similar to the karanyAsya, the upAsakA should use the mantrAs bhU, agnI, and AtmA
to perform hRudayAdi ShadaNga nyAsA.

Lu lrxr ukll kriu xqo rqoMq |

emlqluU pYir sh SzM e || 39
After performing the nyAsAs as explained, meditate on the three eyed shambU. Then,
with utmost bhakti, perform the praNava japA for 10 lakh times.

ii xkri qlr xirqu l xzr |

wOMqh mxkrli iju upir || 40
Without any doubt, it is truth that upon performing the japa as mentioned above, the
upAsakA will get the siddhi. The upAsakA will be able to perform the Six karmAs
(shAnti, mAraNa, mOhanam, vashyam, sthambanam, uccAdaNam) and would be
rewarded with ashta aishvaryAs.

Amua xuix mm xu mqcri |

xuusr piu rj Tsqmlri || 42
mOkshA will be reached automatically as the upAsakA will be rid of all the sins.
Everything that is there to be learned is attained and everything that is desired is
granted.

kAli ghAt
kAli ghAt is one of the 51 Shakti pIThAs and is one of the most popular. Satis right toe
is believed to have fallen here. The temple is situated on the river Hoogly (bhAgIrati) in
the city of Kolkatta. It is believed that the name kOlkatta itself is derived from the name
kAligattA. The bhairavA associated to this temple is the nakulEshvara bhairava. (See
photo for the vatuka bhairavA statue at AmbAji).

The idol and the current temple are about 200 years old. However, as per the legend, a
devotee guided by a ray of light found a piece of stone in the shape of a right toe and
also a shiva linga next to that. This place, where it was found was considered holy and
is named as kAli ghAT. The current temple was built by a Roy Chowdary family and the
idol created by Swami BrahmAnanda giri and AtmArAM giri.

The idol sports a long golden tongue with golden legs and feet too. It is definitely a treat
to watch. For more information check the wiki web site at:

1. Are Svapna vrhi and avrdh the same deity?
No, Svapna vrhi is meditated as riding a horse and hence this confusion,
avrdh is the deity who sprung forth from the noose (pa ) of Devi Lalit and
led the horse-army.

2. What is Kula?
No, The Intrinsic relation in a triad is called as kula. The often quoted example is
the Father, Mother and child trio. Two of them cant exist separately. One implies
that the other two are also there. Thus we find a kula in the trio of Guru, Mantra
and iya. Another example of this is seen in arcana of our Lalit sahasranmas
first name- r Mtre namah. This imples she is The Greatest Mother, surely this
saluation has included the father as r Pitre namah in a veild manner, and also
points to the third part of the salutation-offering person as aspirant-her Child. This
is the other form of the explanation given to lauhityam etasya vimarah by r
Bhskararya as the one Brahman without any attribute is called r Mah
Kmevara and with an attribute of Bliss is called r Lalitmbik and with the
four cognition apparatus maas, bhuddhi, ahamakra and citta is the sdhaka.

3. What is the difference between tithi nity and dina nity?

The almanac defines the moons position and from this we can infer todays
nity, which is called as tithi nity and used for pja. Dina nity is calculated
from the kali uddha dina and follows a sequence which is automatic. In tithi nity
we can have the same nity the next day too, or have two nitys in a same day,
while dina nity is one per day only.
