Sapatasati Class 16 Anuswaram, Sandi & Visargaha

Added: 2026-05-05

[00:00:15]Hindi and we have vowels which are swara and then we have vyanjana they are consonants.

[00:00:24]So there are 16 vowels.

[00:00:28]Um a a i i u u ru ru lu lu e i o au am aha So these are all vowels.

[00:00:50]And the last two am aha these are special.

[00:00:56]Am is called anuswara. Aha is called visarga.

[00:01:00]The sound ha is called visarga.

[00:01:05]Um there is there are different ways of pronouncing this visarga. In South India we say aha we we had we add the a sound to it.

[00:01:16]Um or like a ha sound but in most of North India or in Sanskrit they say that the correct way of pronouncing visarga is ha.

[00:01:25]We have ha.

[00:01:27]Um I learned it with the ha sound.

[00:01:32]Both are correct. I won't say that this is right or this is wrong but um um they're different ways of pronouncing that uh on the visarga. Okay?

[00:01:43]And then we have vyanjana which are ka varga cha varga ta varga tha varga and pa varga and lastly the special characters ksha tra gnya and shra ra and cha the special letters there.

[00:02:10]Okay?

[00:02:12]Um I won't go through like where these if you look at this picture the next um second uh section where the letters are originated when you're pronouncing them.

[00:02:24]I'm not going to go through uh these uh in detail because you know you can look at the picture and you can see where they are supposed to um originate from and uh why the names the why they are called guttural palatal or all these come from. So you can go through this section by yourself.

[00:02:45]The number three is section three is what is most important. It's the principles of Vedic chanting.

[00:02:55]Um So based on Taittiriya Upanishad there are six rules. Usually five are applied to the shloka chanting and the sixth is applying to the Vedic chanting like Rudram or um suktas. If you're learning suktas you apply that one too.

[00:03:18]So let's look at all the five.

[00:03:21]Um As we discussed they're all like pronounced um based on where the origination is. So we just the pronunciation itself is like we know that it is coming from your teeth or your base of your throat or um whatever. So that is one of the principle. The second one is the meter.

[00:03:47]It's called chandas.

[00:03:50]And um there is a hraswam is if it is a So there is a half letter. First one is ardha half letter. So it is like if it is ending with ka kha ga gha then halanta. If there is a halanta it's pronounced half. That is the first rule in the matras or in the meter. Second one is hraswam if it is a short letter you just take a the there are you know different um um what do you call it the the 1/6 of the seconds it takes and all that but usually we don't count all that but it's like hraswam is like a short vowel or short consonant and dirgham is when you have a longer um akshara.

[00:04:40]So hraswam is ka kha ga gha nya. So there's a difference between half letter ka kha ga gha versus hraswam ka kha So you're adding a at the end of it. So ka kha ga gha or you're adding i at the end of it. Ki ki gi ghi something like that.

[00:05:05]And dirgham is when you're adding a or e or u to the the consonant. So it will be ka kha ga gha with a dirgham or ki khi gi ghi.

[00:05:27]So that is dirgham and then you have plutam which is like special ones i au those two are called plutams.

[00:05:38]Almost like a a dirgham.

[00:05:42]Right?

[00:05:43]That one.

[00:05:46]So when you are chanting make sure when you're looking at the um script make sure that we are if there is a hraswam try to pronounce hraswam if there is a dirgham you need to pronounce with a dirgham.

[00:06:00]We always miss that dirghams sometimes in the middle of especially anustup chanda when you're doing it in the middle of the um shloka we try to skip the dirgham or we try to put extra dirgham. So we need to make sure because that changes the chandas the meter of the um the shloka.

[00:06:19]So we need to make sure that we are pronouncing if you see a hraswam pronounce it hraswam dirgham pronounce it dirgham.

[00:06:28]Okay?

[00:06:30]Um the next one is balam which is the mahaprana. We always talk about mahaprana. We try to um identify those and put the stress on those.

[00:06:43]So kha cha tha all these are mahaprana. So we add like a airy ha sound to the um the alpaprana. So the alpaprana is ka cha ta tha pa those are alpaprana but if you add a ha sound to it they become mahaprana. So you have to make sure that you're also identifying those and pronouncing them correctly.

[00:07:12]And the next one is um samam uh punctuation these are all like you know when you're pronouncing when you're learning all the letters they have to go in the same uh smooth flow.

[00:07:29]Is what we have to make sure. One you know if the first word of the shloka is like you know you're pronouncing fast and then the second word of the shloka if you're going slow you know they breaks the the smooth flow. So make sure we are doing all this correctly. Okay?

[00:07:48]And 3.6 swaram Um swaram I'm not going to talk about swaram in this uh class because this is applicable to Vedic chanting.

[00:08:02]Um when we are ready to learn suktams we can go through this swarams and we have to practice this that identify what are the swaras and how you pronounce them.

[00:08:15]So we will do it later. But in this for Durga Saptashati um it doesn't have any swaras in the um in the text. So we don't want to look at this now but later when we are doing suktams they because this one is going to take much longer time to understand and to chant this way. Okay? So I'm going to skip 3.6.

[00:08:41]Um next one we are going to four.

[00:08:47]So rule number one. So there are rules here. Rule number one is each syllable has to be chanted. So we are called this we call this as syllable chanting. Make sure that every syllable is pronounced and chanted correctly.

[00:09:02]Um So every shloka has a meter as we discussed before. So make sure we are not skipping any of the syllables otherwise the meter changes because of that.

[00:09:15]The common meters are Gayatri Anushtubh Ushnih um etc. And there is some explanation here. Most of the stotras like Lalita Sahasranamam Vishnu Sahasranamam and even um the um Durga Saptashati they have like Anushtubh Chanda.

[00:09:38]So Anushtubh is like um 32 syllables and there is an example here for like from the Lalita Sahasranamam which is Shri Mata Shri Maharagni Shrimat Simhasaneshwari Chidagni Kunda Sambhuta Deva Karya Samudyata So it has 32 syllables and if you change any of the dirghas and if you don't put the mahapranas and you don't put the rules, the the syllables will change because of which the chandas will change. So, make sure you follow all the rules.

[00:10:14]Okay?

[00:10:15]And rule number two, pronounce alpaprana and mahaprana as they are. So, if you see alpaprana, pronounce alpaprana. If you see mahaprana, pronounce mahaprana. So, the if you in this example here, uddyat bhanu sahasrabha, chaturbahu samanvita.

[00:10:40]So, if you see sahasrabha, has a dirgham, right? Bha.

[00:10:44]And it is in the middle of the sloka, so most of the people uddyat bhanu sahasrabha, chaturbahu samanvita, so you're you're skipping that dirgham. Or sometimes, if there is no dirgham, they try to put dirgham there.

[00:10:59]So, make sure that you're not skipping or you're pronouncing alpaprana and mahaprana as you see the letter there.

[00:11:06]That is the rule number two.

[00:11:10]Um Sorry, alpaprana mahaprana. That is not a dirgham and not a rasvam. This one is about alpaprana and mahaprana, which is you see bha, you say bha, not ba.

[00:11:24]Krodha.

[00:11:26]Not krodha.

[00:11:27]Okay, pashadya.

[00:11:29]It is not pashadya.

[00:11:32]It is pashadya in that example, okay?

[00:11:36]And rule number three is rasvam and dirgham, which we just talked about. So, make sure that you are pronouncing the um rasvam as rasvam and dirgham as dirgham. So, in the second line, nijaruna prabhapura majjat brahmanda mandala.

[00:11:54]So, what we try to do is nijaruna prabhapura majjat brahmanda mandala. Did you hear the dirgham there? Prabhapura.

[00:12:03]But, it is a rasvam, prabhapura majjat brahmanda.

[00:12:08]Champaka ashoka punnaga is lot of people try to put it um uh dirgham there, so it is not chan champaka ashoka punnaga, it is champaka ashoka punnaga saugandhika lasat kacha.

[00:12:26]And the next line, manishreni.

[00:12:28]It is not manishreni, kanakoti, right?

[00:12:31]It is manishreni.

[00:12:33]These are the common mistakes we make uh when we are chanting these slokas. We miss we um put extra dirghas and we skip the uh dirghams. So, that is rule number three.

[00:12:48]Rule number four is the visarga rule.

[00:12:56]So, visarga is the as we said, if you see a colon or two circles, um it's pronounced as ahah ah or ahah um depending on how you learned it.

[00:13:14]Um so, this there is a special rule for visarga.

[00:13:20]Visarga sound ha changes based on the letter that follows the visarga.

[00:13:30]So, if you see the table here, the left the first column first column talks about what is the letter that is following visarga.

[00:13:42]If you see a letter sa after the visarga, then the second column tells you what would be the visarga sound changes to.

[00:13:52]So, we won't say ha. If you see a sa next to visarga, the visarga sound becomes sa.

[00:14:01]So, always look at the next letter after visarga, okay? And then sha.

[00:14:07]Sha changes to sha.

[00:14:10]And sha. Sha changes to sha.

[00:14:14]Pa.

[00:14:15]If the letter is pa next to visarga, then pa changes to fa.

[00:14:21]And fa also changes to fa.

[00:14:25]If the letter um next to visarga is ka, it is hak.

[00:14:30]And kha is hak.

[00:14:32]Same thing, hak.

[00:14:35]Okay?

[00:14:37]Um the ba da na So, these are usually when we are um in the script itself, they come with a ra sound in there.

[00:14:55]If you don't see a if you do, the visarga is like it becomes like a sandhi word. So, the words are mixed together with a ra in between.

[00:15:04]Even with the ta also, the sa will come in there.

[00:15:07]So, um these you don't see it usually because the script all already is taken care of these. But, if you see it, a visarga next to and there is a ba or da or na will change to a ra.

[00:15:26]Um ta will change to a sa sound.

[00:15:29]And ksha is a special one. If you see a a visarga and followed by a ksha, visarga is always pronounced as ha.

[00:15:39]Which we have seen in some of the slokas that when we were chanting.

[00:15:45]So, in this example here, kalanidhihi kavyakala rasagna rasa shevadhihi.

[00:15:53]So, the visarga changes the sound only if it is in the middle of the sloka.

[00:15:59]In this, kalanidhihi is there.

[00:16:03]That because it's in the middle of the sloka, it changes.

[00:16:07]And what is the letter followed by the visarga? It is ka.

[00:16:12]So, as per our rule, it will change to hak sound. So, kalanidhik.

[00:16:20]Kavyakala rasagna rasa shevadhihi.

[00:16:25]And the the sloka ending with the visarga, we pronounce the visarga the with a ha sound, but the goodi, it takes the whatever it is the preceding letter. So, here it is dhi, so the visarga becomes hi.

[00:16:44]Dhihi.

[00:16:49]And next one is pushta puratana pujya pushkala pushkarekshana, so there are no visargas here.

[00:16:58]The next one is this this one is from Vishnu sahasranama.

[00:17:04]Param jyotihi.

[00:17:09]If you apply the visarga rule, this becomes param jyotif because visarga is followed by pa sound pa pa sound, right?

[00:17:21]As per our rule, it changes to fa sound.

[00:17:24]Param jyotif param dhama.

[00:17:27]Again, paramanuhu changes to paramanuf.

[00:17:33]Paratpara.

[00:17:36]Okay?

[00:17:37]Any questions here in the visarga rules?

[00:17:43]No? Okay. We will move to the next one.

[00:17:48]Next one is the anusvaram.

[00:17:52]So, anusvaram also has the special rules.

[00:17:56]Anusvaram is nothing but if you see a dot on the letter or um sound, then it is called anusvaram.

[00:18:05]It also the anusvaram sound changes based on the following letter. The the letter that follow follows anusvara.

[00:18:15]So, the first column shows you what is the letter following anusvara and how the anusvara changes is in the second column.

[00:18:23]So, one simple thing that I always try to remember is kavarga, what is the last letter of kavarga?

[00:18:35]It's nya.

[00:18:37]So, for any of the kavarga, the sound changes to um the sound.

[00:18:43]Which is the that last letter of kavarga.

[00:18:51]Okay? And the same thing with the chavarga. If you look at all of the chavarga, it changes to um the sound. Um Okay?

[00:19:04]Um tavarga, if the letter following anusvara is from tavarga, it changes um sound.

[00:19:15]And if the letters the letter following anusvara is tavarga, it is the last letter of tavarga, which is n. So, it becomes n.

[00:19:26]Um pavarga, the last letter is ma, so if you have an anusvara followed by pavarga, it is the last letter. So, you always try to think, okay, this is the which what is the letter that belongs to which varga it belongs to and try to use the last letter of that varga, which is that simple rule.

[00:19:48]Okay?

[00:19:49]Uh the special ones are the la. If it is this anuswara followed by la anuswara changes to la.

[00:19:59]It is like um la.

[00:20:01]It's um nasal la sound.

[00:20:04]Okay? And if anuswara is followed by ya, it is nya.

[00:20:10]It's a nasal nya, yeah.

[00:20:14]And if you anuswara followed by va it is um va.

[00:20:19]Again, nasal va.

[00:20:22]Okay?

[00:20:24]The ninth one, we don't usually use it.

[00:20:28]If it is it's like an advanced Vedic chanting a sound that we put in. In some of the suktas we see this gum sound but not in Saptashati. We don't use it here in Devi Mahatmyam, okay? So, the last ninth and 10th, you don't see them here. We don't follow them in this um Saptashati chanting.

[00:20:52]Okay?

[00:20:54]In the example we have a sloka from Lalita Sahasranama Shinjana mani manjira mandita shree padambuja.

[00:21:06]So, the first two word Shinjana anuswara is shim. Um is there, but it is followed by ja. So, from our rules it is belonging to cha varga. So, it has to be um ja.

[00:21:26]Um ja.

[00:21:27]So, Shinjana Shinjana.

[00:21:32]Mani manjira, again there also mum with a ja followed by ja so, it is cha varga so, manch.

[00:21:42]Manjira.

[00:21:45]Mandita, so mum dita.

[00:21:49]So, mum is anuswara followed by da which is the ta ta da dha na family. So, mandita.

[00:21:58]Na sound will come.

[00:22:02]Shree padambuja padambuja.

[00:22:06]Um This is anuswara followed by ba which is the pa family.

[00:22:11]Pa family, what is the last letter? It's um.

[00:22:15]So, this will be padambuja um buja.

[00:22:18]Okay?

[00:22:20]Marali manda gamana. Mamda, mum is anuswara followed by da which is ta family.

[00:22:29]Ta varga, last letter of ta varga is na.

[00:22:32]So, it is mandagamana.

[00:22:37]Mahalavanya shevadihi.

[00:22:41]Um sarvaruna navadyangi.

[00:22:46]So, here dyam. That's the anuswara followed by ga which is the ka family. It will be um ga sound.

[00:22:54]Navadyangi.

[00:22:58]Sarvabharana bhushita.

[00:23:01]The next letter next sloka Shivakameshwara angastha.

[00:23:07]Again, ram is the anuswara followed by ka so, it is the ka family.

[00:23:13]The sound is um ga. So, Shivakameshwara angastha.

[00:23:20]That's how it changes.

[00:23:22]Any any questions about the anuswaras?

[00:23:28]Can you Sorry, can you just go over the last line, please? Shivakameshwara angastha.

[00:23:36]Shivakameshwara angastha.

[00:23:40]So, this ram is the anuswara. Whenever you hear the sound the you see a dot on top of the letter or a the sun or circle in other languages, it is usually um sound, right? But um is the anuswara. Anuswara changes based on the letter that is followed by the anuswara. So, here it is What is the letter followed by anuswara? It is ka.

[00:24:08]And if you go to this the table ka is number one it changes to um ga sound.

[00:24:20]So, it is not Shivakameshwara angastha, it is Shivakameshwara angastha.

[00:24:29]Okay?

[00:24:32]So, um the anuswara is a dot in the Roman script. But in the Devanagari script, how do you identify that?

[00:24:42]Um Devanagari script There is no dot there.

[00:24:48]Yeah, here they already put the rule there. You see that last letter of in this script.

[00:24:55]If you see that's the the rule is already applied and the letter changed already. You you don't have the anuswara in there.

[00:25:05]So, the >> You see that that's the letter that is in the ka family. The last letter of the ka family.

[00:25:12]Which word are we Which which Where are we Where are you looking at?

[00:25:16]>> angastha. You see that >> Oh, you're looking at that. Yeah, yeah.

[00:25:20]Okay, so they've combined it already.

[00:25:22]Okay. Already, so and like if even if you look at Shinjana, you see it is already changed in this script.

[00:25:31]But not all the scripts have that.

[00:25:34]Um if you see a dot on top of it, then you would change it.

[00:25:41]Based on this this table that we have.

[00:25:45]But there is a dot in the Devanagari script, too, right? I've seen kreem kleem and different bijas have a dot in on top of the >> Bijas are different. So, for bijas we don't apply anuswara rules. Bija has to be pronounced the way it is.

[00:26:01]Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. But in our Saptashati script, you might see anuswaras in some of them because of how we the software that we are using.

[00:26:13]So, you might see those with anuswaras, but here in this example here it is not there. Okay, because they already changed as per the rule.

[00:26:25]Okay. So, see mandita, it is not um mum ma ma with a dot on top of it. It is already na sound is added there.

[00:26:36]Because it ta ta da dha na.

[00:26:41]Okay.

[00:26:42]Okay.

[00:26:44]Ma, I have a doubt.

[00:26:46]Mhm.

[00:26:47]I in English script there is a horizontal line on some letters. What does that mean?

[00:26:54]It's a long letter.

[00:26:56]Oh, elaboration. Line means it's deergam.

[00:27:01]Oh, okay, thank you.

[00:27:03]Okay.

[00:27:05]So, if you want to understand the English script and if you don't understand the special underlines or dots on top of it um you may want to search for IAST IAST ST um notations and then you will understand what it what it means.

[00:27:28]Okay, ma. Thank Okay.

[00:27:31]There is a tilde like in this this one here.

[00:27:35]S has a small quote on top of it. So, it is not sa. It is not sa, it is sha. Sha.

[00:27:45]The second sha, okay?

[00:27:48]And uh n has a tilde on it, so it is um Shinjana.

[00:27:56]So, you may want to look at that IAST notations, [clears throat] then you will understand what exactly how you need to pronounce this.

[00:28:05]Okay, thank you.

[00:28:06]>> Okay.

[00:28:07]Sure.

[00:28:09]Any other questions on visarga rules and anuswara rules?

[00:28:15]It's simple. It's always like if the visarga is followed by a letter and try to remember what varga it belongs to and the sound of the visarga sorry, anuswara changes to um the last letter of that varga.

[00:28:31]So, for ka cha ta tha pa it's simple.

[00:28:36]And la ya va it is like with a nasal la le nasal nya nasal va.

[00:28:45]Okay?

[00:28:50]And the next rule here.

[00:28:55]And can you repeat the about visarga when after will be ba?

[00:29:03]Um because I don't know only this moment. Only ba ba. Um ba da dha na. It's Why this change this?

[00:29:18]Um trying to remember for an example of that.

[00:29:22]If visarga is followed by ba ba sound, visarga changes to ra sound.

[00:29:30]So, ra.

[00:29:32]Ra.

[00:29:34]And visarga followed by da visarga changes to you will not pronounce it as ha, it is changes to ra.

[00:29:43]A lot of the times the script already is changed at that time.

[00:29:50]And next time when we see when we are chanting I'll try to point it out.

[00:29:56]Cuz I'm not trying to I'm I don't remember it now.

[00:29:58]>> Take the example of Guru Brahma.

[00:30:01]Guru Vishnu Yeah, Guru Brahma. Guru Brahma, right? So, that who the visarga after Guru changes to Guru because it is followed by ba.

[00:30:15]Okay.

[00:30:18]Okay, thank you.

[00:30:20]Okay.

[00:30:21]Yeah, no problem.

[00:30:24]Um and the last rule that we are looking at is the holding rules.

[00:30:34]Um so, it is like mixture of akshara samyuktakshara. Whenever you have a dirgham followed by samyuktakshara then you have a After the dirgham, whatever is the first letter in the samyuktakshara you put a hold on this.

[00:30:55]On the first letter. So, um here we have some examples here. Pra >> [clears throat] >> is a samyuktakshara. Pa with a ra sound, right?

[00:31:06]So, if there is a dirgham followed by pra then you put ip. So, the dirgham after dirgham you say um the pa will be having the stress on it. So, that's the hold or stress on the first letter of that mix samyuktakshara.

[00:31:28]Um so, we we have seen multiple examples of these samyuktaksharas whenever we have a chanting.

[00:31:35]So, we can again, whenever we are chanting we'll I'll point it out and we'll try to catch those.

[00:31:43]Um the holdings.

[00:31:48]Six and seven are almost the same, okay?

[00:31:54]Um hold letters in appropriate places.

[00:31:58]Um dirgha vowel followed by slight Okay, the number eight dirgha vowel Eight and nine usually it is in the Vedic chanting. So, when you're chanting Rudra, in Rudra script you see these two. So, we won't discuss these two here, okay?

[00:32:16]We want to we can go through it. If you have a dirgha vowel followed by another vowel then we pause a little bit a slight pause.

[00:32:25]So, here in this example, it's called Namaste Astu Bhagavan Vishveshvaraya.

[00:32:32]So, Namaste is a dirgham followed by a vowel is called Astu.

[00:32:37]Then it is Namaste a small pause and you say Astu. It's not Namaste Astu.

[00:32:44]Namaste Astu.

[00:32:47]You pause it a little bit. So, that's that rule there.

[00:32:52]And the lower swaras we we didn't learn about swaras, so I'm not going to talk about rule number nine.

[00:32:58]The swaras will be when we are doing um suktam.

[00:33:04]Any of the suktas when we learn at one point we are thinking of teaching Shri Suktam. When we do that, we first learn the swaras and then we can look at this rule again.

[00:33:19]Okay.

[00:33:23]So, any any questions? Any doubts? Or you want me to repeat any of the any of the rules?

[00:33:33]I would just make a a comment if I may.

[00:33:38]Please, Danji. Go ahead. Um a couple things. Um Sanskrit emerged from the human nervous system.

[00:33:47]That's one thing.

[00:33:48]And um pronunciation is just so important. It really I need to take my time and study this very carefully because the results are much more powerful when you chant correctly.

[00:34:03]So, it's really and also, you know the mantra, the word represents the mother.

[00:34:11]So, when you chant, you know you're literally bringing her in front of you in a sense or you're coming to her, but it's there, you know? So um the the you know, you can't see God, but God has given you his name in another to put it another way.

[00:34:30]And I'll just relate a quick story. The sage Ashtavakra was born with his limbs twisted in eight places because he corrected his father, sage Kahoda for mispronouncing Vedic mantras while still in the womb.

[00:34:45]Enraged Enraged by the unborn child unborn child's audacity Kahoda cursed him to be born deformed leading to his name which means eight bends.

[00:34:56]So, I thought I'd share that.

[00:35:01]Thank you. Thank you, Danji.

[00:35:04]Very well said. Yeah, the mantra it generates the energy around you.

[00:35:13]And you want to pronounce it correctly so that that energy is proper energy and you're not asking for the wrong thing. So, if you miss a dirgham or you don't pronounce the way it is you're ask your the meaning completely can change.

[00:35:31]Um so we we need to pay attention to how we are pronouncing this whole thing.

[00:35:39]The correct mahapranas mahacorrections hrasvams all these rules that we just talked about. That's why I keep like pointing out in every shloka that we are chanting I try to bring up like what needs to be pronounced correctly and what should not be skipped dirghams hrasvams and all that. Yeah.

[00:36:02]Uh Sridevi let let me comment >> Danji.

[00:36:06]Namaste, ma'am.

[00:36:09]He he was telling some sage's story.

[00:36:12]Yes, we do remember those kind of things.

[00:36:16]You have to understand one thing.

[00:36:18]Each and every God has their own frequency.

[00:36:25]That frequency is nothing but their bijakshara mantras.

[00:36:31]When the particular bijakshara mantras continuously recited the mandala of the particular deity it will get created. For Saraswati, some Saraswati aim that bijakshara.

[00:36:46]Dum Durgayai. Dum is the bijakshara for her.

[00:36:51]Dum is for Dhumavati.

[00:36:54]Gam for Ganapati. So, each and every deities and 33 crores devatas we are telling.

[00:37:03]So, each and every devatas they are having their own frequency.

[00:37:08]As per the mantra shastra, you have to recite that particular frequency properly then your mind vibrations will reach to that particular deity mandala.

[00:37:22]This is purely mantra shastra.

[00:37:29]When you are seeing God as a science this is true.

[00:37:36]But when you are seeing God nothing but yourself because you are the particle of the God.

[00:37:48]You are nothing but a God. Aham Brahmasmi.

[00:37:53]So, in that case what I'm telling you the feelings what you are having towards your mother is very very important.

[00:38:04]For example there is the there is a word called Amma.

[00:38:10]Amma means mother.

[00:38:13]Uh Don, where are you from?

[00:38:16]Uh I'm from South Florida.

[00:38:19]How you are calling your mom?

[00:38:21]Uh mother.

[00:38:24]Mother you are calling. We are calling Amma.

[00:38:28]So, we are in the same language as we will call mother as Amma Yamma Ma Different tones are there.

[00:38:41]Different words are there to call her.

[00:38:43]Same Amma that word.

[00:38:46]Here the feelings of the child is very important towards the mother.

[00:38:53]How you you are aiming the mother and calling her in any word using any word you can call her, not a problem.

[00:39:02]She will understand.

[00:39:05]Or for example, the child is not having any language to call a mother.

[00:39:12]Is it having anything? The children are when they are getting birth are they having any languages to call the mother?

[00:39:20]It's crying. That crying mother is able to understand the feeling of the child.

[00:39:26]So, the need of the child will be fulfilled by the deity, the mother.

[00:39:32]So, in that way if you are going to see uh the spirituality as a science what you are telling is correct.

[00:39:41]Yes.

[00:39:43]100% pakka you have to recite.

[00:39:46]But in that case, who is going to certify that you are telling correct, I am telling correct the mantra?

[00:39:54]Where is the yardstick?

[00:39:57]Who is the certificating authority here?

[00:40:01]No one is here.

[00:40:03]Because whenever you are trying to explain about the God, you are you have to understand that you have not seen the God.

[00:40:14]If you have seen the God, there is no need of interpretation.

[00:40:20]When somebody is interpreting how God's will look like, that means they have not seen them.

[00:40:29]If you once have seen the God, the elephant is elephant only.

[00:40:34]There is no need of telling that the elephant will look like a pillar, the elephant look will look like a rubber Like that you need not tell.

[00:40:43]So in the entirety you have to see how the universe is getting created.

[00:40:50]That is the concept of Sri Vidya we are telling.

[00:40:54]The Brahmanda Purana teaches how the universe is getting created.

[00:40:59]So if you are going to raise your chest that I know all the things, I am having a mantra in my hands, then the mantra will react negatively towards you.

[00:41:15]The Ramakrishna Paramahamsa used to tell how you have to approach a mother.

[00:41:21]You you cannot raise your chest before the mother.

[00:41:26]There is a different bhavas.

[00:41:29]You can love the God.

[00:41:30]You can treat the God as your friend.

[00:41:36]You can treat the God as your lover.

[00:41:40]But here Ramakrishna Paramahamsa is telling, it is always better to treat the God as your mother because your mistakes will be forgiven casually.

[00:41:55]Because one or other way, the mother will understand what you are thinking in your mind.

[00:42:04]That is the because mother you cannot put into any definition. Have you seen anywhere a mother equal to this?

[00:42:12]Nowhere you can see the definition of a mother.

[00:42:16]It is a direct representation of the Sri Mata.

[00:42:20]Each and every mother in this world because in the Saptasati in 13 Adhyaya, it is clearly told each and every woman in this world is nothing but a Durga.

[00:42:34]So the entire universe is stored inside a woman.

[00:42:39]If a woman is not there, there is no universe at all.

[00:42:45]So the femininity is very very important here.

[00:42:48]So ultimately your feelings, your thirst, if you are having a thirst of somebody is putting you inside a water, what you will think?

[00:42:59]You will think nothing but a single breath breath you have to take when you are coming out from the water.

[00:43:06]Like that you you should have the thirst towards the mother.

[00:43:11]In that case, nothing will be seen by the mother whether you are pronouncing correctly or not, nothing will be there.

[00:43:21]I'm not telling don't I'm not totally ignoring what you are studying, but the feelings how you are having towards the almighty, that will decide how quickly you will reach the deity.

[00:43:34]Simply by reciting mantra perfectly because so many persons are standing before the Vigraha and reciting so many Parayanas daily.

[00:43:42]Have they realized?

[00:43:44]No. They have not realized.

[00:43:46]>> Because there's no bhava.

[00:43:49]There is no bhava.

[00:43:52]The bhava is ultimate. Yeah, that's right. You cannot act smartly, you cannot act before the mother.

[00:44:00]There should be a real argy should be there from you.

[00:44:04]When it is coming from you, obviously you you will be very much close to her.

[00:44:09]You can sit on her lap.

[00:44:14]She will always be there. There is no need of doing any puja after that.

[00:44:23]That way we have to understand. So what I'm telling, there is no need of get afraid of seeing those kind of Puranas.

[00:44:31]India is having so many stories here and there.

[00:44:36]The highest children which is story is having a Mahabharata Ramayana is having so many children's.

[00:44:45]So many inbuilt stories are there. Each and every guru whatever they like, they will add like a story.

[00:44:51]It will become part and parcel of Mahabharata and Ramayana.

[00:44:56]So when the time passes, the Ramayana and Mahabharata also has a grown grown like anything.

[00:45:04]So you need not bother about to so many stories about here.

[00:45:08]Just have the bhava towards the mother.

[00:45:11]It is between you and your mother only.

[00:45:14]There is no need of how other people will think how I am pronouncing.

[00:45:22]The mother herself will come and correct you.

[00:45:27]She knows.

[00:45:29]Whether you you need not to call her properly by the words. Just you pray.

[00:45:34]That praying sound is the mantra. The mother will understand.

[00:45:39]If she is not having that feeling towards the creation what she has done here, you won't see rain. You won't see sun next day.

[00:45:49]See when we are reciting Sandhyavandanam Gayatri mantra when we are reciting, what it is telling when we are giving the argya telling the Gayatri mantra, three times we will give early morning.

[00:46:03]That mantra will activate like a Vajrayudha. It's a powerful weapon of the Indra.

[00:46:10]Like that it will activate and it will ensure that the sun will is sun is getting protected.

[00:46:18]Because seeing what what these people are doing in the political people now how things are going in world, seeing that the next day sun is not I won't come to this world like that if sun is telling, what will happen?

[00:46:32]The mercy of the deity is not like that.

[00:46:37]The mercy is flowing continuously.

[00:46:41]We are having so many thoughts in our mind.

[00:46:45]Per second we are having 40 cycles of thoughts.

[00:46:48]Because of that we are not able to receive the cosmic energy the God is always flowing on us.

[00:46:57]So here the takeaway is we have to understand bhava is very important towards the mother.

[00:47:06]That is the easiest way.

[00:47:08]In whatever way you are reciting because uh the aksharas because each and every person is unique, their voice is unique.

[00:47:20]You cannot imitate others.

[00:47:23]So you follow the grammar, that is enough.

[00:47:26]At the same time, the bhava should be developed. That will help you to quickly reach the almighty. That is the takeaway here we have to take.

[00:47:36]Okay, fine sir. Proceed. Proceed my Sri Devi.

[00:47:41]Just a one quick question. Uh nyasas, um are they how can you say how important or how Cuz you're saying the bhava is more important than the actual pronunciation.

[00:47:54]>> Yes, that is that is the bhava. Bhava is I am feeling that I am the God.

[00:48:00]I have come out from the almighty.

[00:48:04]I am the Purushottama.

[00:48:06]See can you call yourself as a male?

[00:48:11]But I won't see you as a male.

[00:48:14]I am not a male.

[00:48:16]You are not a male here.

[00:48:19]You are also Shakti Rupa, I am also Shakti Rupa.

[00:48:24]The whatever things moves in this world, it is called Shakti.

[00:48:30]You are having energy because of that you are speaking, you are doing something.

[00:48:34]So you are not a male, you are a female.

[00:48:39]But your female is not a female, she is also a male.

[00:48:44]How it is possible?

[00:48:46]The science the science of the creation what it is, this is the dynamic energy. The body is the dynamic energy.

[00:48:56]It is a reflective nature.

[00:49:00]Okay?

[00:49:01]It's a Vimarsha Pranava. Whatever you are seeing before your eyes, it is called a Vimarsha Pranava.

[00:49:09]So whatever you are seeing in this world is called nothing but a Shakti.

[00:49:14]The only one thing is a male is Purushottama Purusha Rupa.

[00:49:19]That is the soul.

[00:49:23]So each and every person is having a soul.

[00:49:28]So your female is also male.

[00:49:30]Your male is also your female here.

[00:49:32]This concept we have to understand only for for Srushti, only for the creation.

[00:49:38]That the differentiation we are seeing male and female differentiation.

[00:49:43]That is only for creation.

[00:49:45]If people are able to understand these words what I have told just now, there won't be any quarrel in this world.

[00:49:54]The husband and the wife will be very much and you only Bhagavad they will maintain in their life.

[00:50:01]The God has told us to create the next generation.

[00:50:05]For that purpose I am a male, you are a female. I am the female, you are a male.

[00:50:11]We are doing the God's work here.

[00:50:15]To living the life is nothing but to doing the spirituality.

[00:50:20]You need not recite mantra. You need not do Saptashati Parayana.

[00:50:24]Live your life properly. That is spirituality.

[00:50:28]That is the work of the deity.

[00:50:32]That is the dharma we have to follow here.

[00:50:35]So, what is your question? Nyasa you are talking about.

[00:50:38]So, when you are talking about Nyasa, it is concerned with the body.

[00:50:45]Because your body is storing some energy. That is what I told Shakti Rupa.

[00:50:53]Because each and every body based on the activities what it has done, it will because many chakras are there in the bodies.

[00:51:03]Those chakras subtle chakras number we will tell.

[00:51:07]Most for most of the peoples those chakras won't get activated.

[00:51:13]Because of that reason, when you are reciting the mantras, the spiritual energy what you are creating, it won't get stored in your aura.

[00:51:24]Because we are having some sukshma deha deha also we are having. This is called sthula deha.

[00:51:29]After that the sukshma deha is there.

[00:51:32]So, we can call it as a aura.

[00:51:35]So, most of the times if if you refer the Buddha in his life, when the Buddha is entering inside a room, the entire room, whoever is talking, whoever is looking here and there, everybody will become very calm.

[00:51:50]Because his aura will be having that much energy, positive energy it will be having. So, immediately everybody will have the peacefulness in their mind and they will become calm.

[00:52:05]To store that energy, you should activate those type of subtle chakras.

[00:52:12]That is called Nyasas.

[00:52:14]Nyasas will ensure that what you are practicing in spirituality, that should be present inside you because otherwise it will get wasted.

[00:52:26]Okay.

[00:52:27]If the if the pot is having a hole, obviously the energy will go So, for that purpose we are invoking different type of Shakti Rupas inside the chakras.

[00:52:42]So, most of these chakra the mantras what we are reciting for these things are aksharas. 51 aksharas we are using.

[00:52:50]Because entire mantra shastra is based on 51 aksharas only.

[00:52:56]Sabda Brahma we are telling.

[00:52:59]From the sabda only Brahma has evolved.

[00:53:04]That is why it is called Matruka Aksharas.

[00:53:09]Matruka means it is a creating aksharas.

[00:53:14]Matruka means there is a mother concept now.

[00:53:17]So, from the aksharas only the entire universe has come out.

[00:53:24]Through the Panchadasakshari mantra in the Sri Vidya concept, the entire universe got created.

[00:53:34]So, the Panchadasakshari mantra is the software for the the machine Sri Chakra.

[00:53:43]When you are applying the Panchadasakshari mantra on the Sri Yantra, whatever you are having in your mind, that idea will be converted into physical things.

[00:53:56]Your own world will get created using the Panchadasakshari mantra.

[00:54:05]That what mantra will do.

[00:54:07]The frequency of the Beejakshara is very very important.

[00:54:12]Based on the frequency only the particular thing you can create. If you recite a Gam Beejakshara, Ganapati will Ganapati will appear.

[00:54:23]If you recite a Aim Beejakshara, Saraswati has to appear.

[00:54:29]But Om is not suitable for all the people.

[00:54:34]Some people are reciting Om meditation they are doing. It is not suitable for all the people.

[00:54:41]Because it will it will lose you you will lose your focus because of the Om Beejakshara mantra.

[00:54:49]Because it will open your brain totally towards the cons entire consciousness will get opened.

[00:54:57]The unlimited conscious will enter inside you.

[00:55:01]So, obviously you will go into the depression state.

[00:55:07]You will hate you will hate the presence of in this world presence in in this world.

[00:55:13]So, you will get a detached from the logical life.

[00:55:18]So, those who are having more maturity only they should go towards the Om Beejakshara and Mahashodashi mantra, those kind of mantras like we are telling. Still when you are having towards some urge towards the kamyas, you have to restrict yourself with somewhat lower mantras only.

[00:55:40]So, to whatever you are reciting that spiritual my energy should not get wasted. So, for that purpose Nyasa will help you.

[00:55:47]And it will make your deha a shining element.

[00:55:54]You will be carrying that energy wherever you are going.

[00:55:59]Navagrahas won't do anything on you at that time.

[00:56:04]There is no role of Navagrahas at that time.

[00:56:08]You need not see see your horoscope kundali all those things.

[00:56:13]Because this energy would have erased all the karmas stored in the six base chakras.

[00:56:24]That is why most of the pujas of the uh women deities, female deities, whatever you are worshipping in the night session we are doing. Navaratri like that we are doing now.

[00:56:36]So, most of the female deities worship will be happening during the night.

[00:56:41]Because night is very very important.

[00:56:44]Because slowly uh that the kundalini will get raised.

[00:56:48]And around 2:00 the energy will be revolving in your pineal gland.

[00:56:53]After pineal gland it will come to the Agnya Chakra.

[00:56:57]Because we are dying every day we are dying.

[00:57:00]After the death only we are getting up in the early morning.

[00:57:04]The early morning Brahma Muhurta time is the re- instate re-instation of things are happening inside you. The re-instation of the your soul.

[00:57:15]You are getting awakened.

[00:57:18]Because every day in the night the Kali will come and hug us.

[00:57:24]When the Kali is coming and hugging us, she will cut our head.

[00:57:28]When she is cutting our head, the Agnya Chakra only will be there.

[00:57:33]That is why if you see the weapon of the Kali, that sword something the curved sword she will be having now. In that sword there will be a small eye will be there.

[00:57:44]You can see the eye.

[00:57:46]Mhm. That eye is denoting your Agnya Chakra.

[00:57:51]So, the pineal gland is functioning during that time.

[00:57:55]So, whatever karma you have done that particular day, it will be transferred to the mainframe.

[00:58:04]So, after analyzing something in the mainframe, the result will be stored inside you again.

[00:58:09]After that, the next day life will start for you.

[00:58:13]So, every day the data from your brain, it will be transferred to the mainframe.

[00:58:20]When you are awake, it is not possible.

[00:58:23]So, you will be killed every day.

[00:58:27]The ego will be removed. I, that word will be removed from you every day.

[00:58:34]After that, early morning Brahma Muhurta time I will be restored again.

[00:58:40]This is the science. This is what it is happening.

[00:58:42]That is why in the Brahma Muhurta time is very very important that we are telling.

[00:58:46]So, during the Brahma Muhurta time, when you are getting up, just to face your face, wash your face, hands, legs and immediately lit a lamp.

[00:59:00]Just to worship Lord Narayana.

[00:59:04]A small mantras.

[00:59:06]Small mantras of 5 minutes japa something. Early morning you need not take bath.

[00:59:12]You need not eat anything. Just to do pancha shuddhi. Face, both hands, both legs.

[00:59:19]Wash it and sit.

[00:59:22]Lit a lamp and just to pray something early morning. Because the Purushottama, the soul is getting re-instated early morning.

[00:59:32]That time the Brahma will be crossing you. Every day he will be crossing and he will be blessing you. Yes, this day is given to you. Do something good for yourself.

[00:59:43]Prove yourself that you are the son of the almighty.

[00:59:48]That is the word everything is told to you.

[00:59:51]But we are taking things granted.

[00:59:55]We will totally ignore the Brahma Muhurta, but we people will get up only around the 7:00 now.

[01:00:00]Right.

[01:00:01]So there is the no need of lighting lights, all those things.

[01:00:05]So try try to getting up around 4:00 4:30 something.

[01:00:10]You will see the difference in your life. Okay, sir. Proceed. Have you got your answer?

[01:00:15]Yes, yes, Guruji. Thank you. Fine, sir.

[01:00:17]Proceed. Kasturi, proceed now.

[01:00:20]Talk, let me just put on my glasses.

[01:01:16]But it is a Paripurnam, not Paripurnam.

[01:01:21]Paripurnam.

[01:01:25]Also Bharatji, we only do the first three. We didn't learn all of it.

[01:01:29]Oh, sorry. Fine.

[01:01:31]Yeah.

[01:01:33]Paripurnam.

[01:01:35]Sorry, which one Guruji? Which which verse was the Paripurnam?

[01:01:38]Uh you told Paripurnam, it is a Paripurnam.
