SRIVIDYA MANTRA

 
Srividya Mantra

Srividya Mantra – King Among Mantras

Mantra is a divine combination of divine syllables or sounds which when chanted with devotion,faith and emotion gravitate the concerned God or Goddess or deity and secure their divine blessings. For divine help one must link with divine forces but majority of humans are unaware of these forces and have no link whatsoever. But when an individual starts chanting Mantra related to a particular deity regularly the gap between him and the concerned divine force steadily decreases. By regular use of Mantra a subtle link is formed and through this one could then obtain any desired boon within the power of the deity.

 Srividya Mantra has over the ages proved to be a wonderful key to success in the lives of hundreds of great Rishis and Yogis. According to ancient texts this Mantra was never created by anyone, rather it was obtained directly from Shiva.

It is this mysterious Mantra that hides within it the power to link a human to his inner bodies. Most people and scholars today associate Srividya Mantra with mental upliftment. But these are just two of its many possibilities. If used properly this Mantra can activate all the inner bodies and also all the Chakras of the Kundalini, thus bestowing psychic and soul powers like telepathy, hypnotism, astral travelling and omniscience on an individual.

Sri Premanandaji attained Siddhi in Srividya Mantra by the Grace of Siddhar Thirumoolar. He initiates the sadhak in Srividya Mantra in graduated steps to experience the ultimate of Srividya.

Srividya mantra is the Mother Tripurasundari's mula mantra (root or core – mantra). Sundari's mantra is the famous Panchadashi or fifteen syllable mantra. It has three sections (kutas), each ending with the mantra Hrim, which mantra by itself can be used to worship Tripura Sundari or Lalita.

KA E I LA HRIM

HA SA KA HA LA HRIM

SA KA LA HRIM 

The above Pachadasi Mantra is derived from the following verse,
KAMOYONIH KAMLA VAJRAPANIR
GUHA HASA MATRISHVABHRAMINDRA
PUNAR GUHA SAKALA MAYEYA CHA
PURUCHCHAIVA VISHVAMATADI VIDDYOM

KAMA (KA), YONI(AYE), KAMLA (EEE), VAJRAPANI INDRA (LA), GUHA (HRING), HASA VARNAS MATRISHVA-VAYU (KA), ABHRA (HA) INDRA (LA), PUNAH GUHA HRING, SAKALA VARNAS AND MAYA HRING

There are many ways to explain this srividya mantra. Whole books have been written on it. Below is a short examination of its syllables Relative to the first of the three sections of the mantra: 

Ka is desire or the creator.
E is Maya or the power of illusion.
I is Vishnu or the Divine ruling power.
La is the power of bliss.
Relative to the second section: 
Ha is space or breath- 
Sa is time.
Ka again is creation.
Ha is breath or spirit renewed in energy. 
La again is bliss.
Relative to the third section:
Sa is time as eternity or totality
Ka is origin and also the unknown. 
La again is bliss.
Hrim repeated three times brings about a triple transformation of our nature.
Srimadded at the end is the crowning glory and realisation

The first set of srividya mantras is the head of the Goddess, the second from her neck to her hips, and the third the region below the hips. The first set relates to Vak, the power of speech the second to Kamaraja, the king of love, and the third to the original Shakti or power of transformation. These three sections also relate to Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva, to the three Vedas(Rig, Yajur, and Sama).

This version of srividya mantra that begins with Ka is known as kadi vidya. There is another version, which omits some letters and gives letters in a slightly different order

HA SA KA LA HRIM

HA SA KA HA LA HRIM

SA KA LA HRIM

This alternative version commences the srividya mantra with letter Ha and therefore known as "Hadi Vidya".  The former tradition said to have been promulgated by Kama, is ascribed to a line of teachers: Parama-Siva, Durvasa, Hayagriva and Agastya and it is more popular all over the country than the other one. Tantra-raja-antra and Vamakesvara-tantra are its chief authorities. The latter tradition goes back to Lopamudra, wife of Agastya, and was prevalent in Kerala. The main text on which this tradition relies is Tripuropanisat.

There are several other versions of the srividya mantra, depending upon the main import that is sought to be projected. That a group of five versions known as Panca-sundari, was prevalent at one time has been mentioned in some medieval text:

                  1)      Verbal Communication(bhasa)

              HA KA LA SA HRIM KA E LA SA HRIM KA LA SA HA HRIM

2)     Emanantion(Srsti)

             HA SA KA LA HRIM HA LA KA HA SA HRIM SA KA LA HRIM

 3)      Preservation(sthiti)

             HA LA KA SA HRIM KA SA HA LA HRIM KA HA SA LA HRIM

    4)      Absorption (samhrti)

             HA LA KA SA HRIM KA SA HA LA HRIM HA HA KA LA HRIM

                  5)      Indeterminate state(nirakhya)

             LA KA SA HRIM SA HA KA LA HRIM HA SA SA HA KA HRIM

Sodasi-Vidya(16 letter mantra)

The Sodasi  is substantially the same as pancadasi using same letters in the same order, but adding the seed-syllable like SRIM or AIM or KLIM at the end which is regarded as "secret"

           OM  KA  E  I  LA  HRIM  HA  SA  KA  HA  LA  HRIM  SA  KA  LA  HRIM  SRIM

or      

      OM  KA  E  I  LA  HRIM  HA  SA  KA  HA  LA  HRIM  SA  KA  LA  HRIM  AIM

or

      OM  KA  E  I  LA  HRIM  HA  SA  KA  HA  LA  HRIM  SA  KA  LA  HRIM  KLIM

There are also extensions of panchadasi mantra  like

Sapthdasa-vidya(17 letter mantra)

OM  KA  E  I  LA  HRIM  HA  SA  KA  HA  LA  HRIM  SA  KA  LA  HRIM  SRIM  HAMSA

Astadasa-Vidya(18 letter mantra)

AIM   KA  E  I  LA  HRIM

HRIM  HA  SA  KA  HA  LA  HRIM

SRIM  SA  KA  LA  HRIM

Siddha Yamala Vidya (21 letter mantra)

KA  E  I  LA  HRIM  HA  SA  KA  HA  LA  HRIM  SA  KA  LA  HRIM   STRIM  AIM  KROUM  KRIM  KLAM HUM

Maha sodasi (28 letter mantra)

OM  SRIM  HRIM  KLIM  AIM  SAU  OM  SRIM  HRIM  KA  E  I  LA  HRIM  HA  SA  KA  HA  LA  HRIM  SA KA  LA  HRIM  SAU AIM  KLIM  HRIM  SRIM

Para-vidya (37 Letter mantra)

OM  AIM  KLIM  SAU  KA  E  I  LA  HRIM  SAU  KLIM  AIM

OM  AIM  KLIM  SAU  HA  SA  KA  HA  LA  HRIM  SAU  KLIM  AIM

OM  AIM  KLIM  SAU  SA  KA  LA  HRIM  SAU  KLIM  AIM  OM

In all these instances, the basic  structure is that of panchadasi and care is always taken to group the letters and other seed syllables into three explicit units, with fourth unit either spelt out or implied.
