When I was a child i was asked to recite the Gayatri Mantra every night with my parents. \u00a0I thought it was a prayer more than combinations of sounds created in a rhythm designed to provoke the universe to give in to &#8216;intention&#8217;. \u00a0Well .. I guess that is what a prayer is too, except that a lot of research says that the &#8216;seed&#8217; sounds of the universe, starting with &#8216;AUM &#8216; have the capacity to accelerate &#8216;intention&#8217; into something far deeper. \u00a0Does that mean that Mantra&#8217;s can provoke the universe beyond &#8216;intention&#8217; ? After all, as a child, what intention is contained in the Gayatri Mantra, the true meaning of which I am still grappling with. For if I did manage to experience the true meaning of it, I would not be asking these questions would I ?<\/p>\n<p>I asked my friend Sanjeev Verma, a well known astrologer in Canada on what he believes &#8216;Beej&#8217; (Seed) Mantra&#8217;s are &#8211; do we all have a &#8216;Seed Mantra&#8217; that is aligned to our astrological charts ? \u00a0I have a completely open mind still. . \u00a0Ah &#8230; the age of reason !<\/p>\n<p>CREATING A LIFE OF HARMONY THROUGH YOUR OWN SEED MANTRAS AS PER YOUR ASTROLOGICAL CHARTS.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeej Mantra\u201d is a combination of two words \u201cBeej\u201d and \u201cMantra\u201d. \u201cBeej\u201d is a seed which when sown grows into a fruitful tree, whereas \u201cMantra\u201d is an invocation that produces a set of vibration in the surrounding atmosphere. Thus \u201cBeej Mantra\u201d can be defined as sound vibrations which when performed with full faith results into a fountain of Shakti or Powerful energy.<\/p>\n<p>It is an interesting fact to know that in 360 degrees of Cosmic Universe there are 108 sound vibrations which are always active. These vibrations are an active constituent of not only the cosmic universe but also every individual is born with these sound vibrations which we also call as Beej mantras. There can be up to seven of them having the power to affect different aspects of our life like health, wealth, relationships etc. These Beej mantras are different for each Individual.  In order to create a harmony between an individual and the cosmic universe one needs to connect with it through these vibrations only. This synchronization with the cosmic universe can take place either through deeper and higher levels of meditation or by knowing our own sound vibrations or Beej mantras and chanting them and becoming one with them.<\/p>\n<p>Beej mantras given or identified are for the purpose of matching cosmic sound vibration and the vibration of the person with which he or she is born. Once we have identified our own sound vibrations and we start chanting that sound over and again, each sound goes in the cosmic universe and hits at least one of the 108 sound vibrations which is same as itself and harmony takes place. The harmony between the individual and the Cosmic vibrations results in the overall prosperity and well being of an individual, be it in terms of health, wealth, relationships or any other aspect of an individual\u2019s life.<\/p>\n<p>I have noticed that the Beej mantras normally given are matching the mind vibrations only. But there can be Beejas for every aspect of our physical and spiritual existence.<\/p>\n<p>By repeating these Beej Mantars one can create harmony with any aspect of life. Essentially it would tune your vibrations to match the cosmic vibrations to lead a thriving life. I have been researching and experimenting on the Beej Mantras for quite a long time And found them to be extremely effective and life transforming.  The best way to find out one\u2019s seed sound or alphabet is by making a birth chart. A Seed Mantra is combination of three words \u201c OM\u2014your seed sound\u2014Namah.<\/p>\n<p>OM (pronounced AUM) is the most important of all mantras. All mantras generally begin and often also end with OM. OM is the mantra of assent and energizes whatever we say after it. That is why all mantras begin with OM. OM is also the mantra of ascent and causes our energy to rise upward into the infinite.  Individual seed sound It both calls the divine down into us and offers our soul upward to the Divine for transformation.<\/p>\n<p>Namah is to bow to the energy of the mantra and thanking it.<\/p>\n<p>There can be up to seven seed mantra for an individual depends on the birth chart. There is one base mantra which is for material and spiritual uplift and there are mantras which are for improving or creating harmony in particular aspect of life like health, wealth, relationships etc.<\/p>\n<p>Sanjeev Verma<br \/>\nwww.sanjeevsv.com<br \/>\nwww.tunedtothrive.com<br \/>\nwww.twitter.com\/sanjeevsv<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Always wondered about Mantra&#8217;s.
