1-Hi!

Good Morning!

Talking about the #Vedic #Tradition is like standing on the top of a mountain –

..you realize that the view is unmatched. (1/20)

#mysticalastrology
2-Having spoken about #Mantra #Yoga

..and its application amongst the three classic Vedic domains of #Ayurveda, #Yoga and #Astrology

..there is another important aspect – that just can’t be missed.

And that aspect is – Chakra #Sadhana and balancing your #Chakras.

(2/20)
3-As someone brought up on the #Paradigms of #Modern #Science, for so long I used to find the concept of #Chakras pretty absurd.

The anatomy of modern western medicine has not ‘seen’ Chakras. (3/20)

#गुप्तज्योतिष
4-But Chakras do exist in the subtle body.

And both #Ayurvedic and #Tantric texts talk extensively about these

In fact, Tantric texts talk about these- in great detail. (4/20)

#astrologicalnuggets
5-While it is difficult to put all of this in a brief note.

My effort is to introduce, enthusiasts and intermediate level #Sadhakas to the concept.

The Bija Mantras of the #Chakras are essentially the Bija Mantras of the #FiveGreatElements (5/20)

#thumbrulesofastrology
6-These Five Great Elements are – #Fire, #Earth, #Water, #Air and #Ether

These #Bija #Mantras are - #Lam, #Vam, #Ram, #Yam and #Ham

These relate to the five chakras in the body from the root - #Muladhara to the one in the throat - #Vishuddha (6/20)

#ज्योतिषीयसूत्र
7-Chanting these #Bija Mantras will strengthen the elements within you.

In #VedicAstrology these chants also connect you to the #Grahas

In addition to the above five, the Bija Mantra #Ksham rules the #ThirdEye or the #Mindcentre (7/20)

#ज्योतिषीयसूक्षम्तायें
8- #Om is said to rule the #Crown Chakra or the very centre of #Consciousness.

Let’s dwell on each of these Bija Mantra a little (8/20)

#ज्योतिषीयजटिलताएं
9- #Lam invokes #Mother #Earth and the #Root Chakra.

It grounds you. Provides stability and contentment.

It can be helpful to weaken the negative effects of a #Malefic #Satrun.

I have seen #Jyotishis also recommend it to strengthen #Mars and #Venus (9/20)
10- #Vam relates to the great element of #Water – the second #Chakra

Just like the properties of #Water, chanting #Vam will bless you with #Fluidity and #Movement

#Vam is said to work wonderfully with #Watery #Grahas.

Vam Works well with #Moon, #Venus and #Jupiter (10/20)
11- #Ram is the #Bija #Mantra of the great #Fire #Element

It relates to the #Solar #Plexus in a Man’s anatomy

It works on your will power

It is said to work well on #Sun, #Mars and #Ketu. (11/20)

#ज्योतिषीयमिथक
12- #Yam connects us to the #Air element and the #Heart #Centre

Just like the key properties of #Air – it bestows us with a sense of #Direction, #Movement and #spiritual speed.

Astrologically it relates to the great planet #Mercury. (12/20)

#ज्योतिषीयकथायें
13- #Ham relates to the #Ether and the #Throat #Chakra

#Ether is my own personal favorite element

Chanting #Ham blesses us with #Space, #Force and a certain sense of all pervasive #Expansion

#Ham works well with #Mercury and #Jupiter (13/20)

#higherdimensionsofastrology
14- #Ksham works on the #ThirdEye or the #Ajna Chakra

It also works well with #Moon and #Mercury

Chanting #Om will strengthen your #Crown #Chakra and overall #Consciousness.

#Om stands for #Sun and will lead to an expansion of light in your overall life. (14/20)
15-Needless to say again, that these Mantras are extremely powerful packets of energy – capable of untangling your Nervous System

One should practice and perfect them – under your full #Intuition and ideally under the guidance of a good #Sadhaka or a #Guru. (15/20)
16-If you don’t have immediate access to your #Guru – just like me –

..you can think of #Ganesha, The #Eternal #Mother, #Shiva- the Eternal Yogi or Krishna as your Guru. (16/20)
17-One can also take #Hanuman as your Guru.

My own personal suggestion is – if you can’t keep the vows of #Brahmcharya intact – don’t go for Hanuman.

Brahmcharya in any case is very important for any #Sadhana or #Sadhaka.

We will talk about it in a later thread (17/20)
18-Till now, we have spoken about different Mantras.

Tomorrow we shall talk about #Suktas and #Stotras.

Till now we have spoken about primarily the Vedic corpus of #Manta Yoga

Tomorrow, we shall talk about #Puranas – and what they say about the Grahas. (18/20)
19-Puranas too have a rich presence of verses on #Jyotish and #Ayurveda.

May the #Goddess continue to bestow us with her #Wisdom and unbound #Love!

Om Tat Sat! (19/20)
