SIDDHAR KARMA YOGA SASTRA (SCIENCE)-INTRODUCTION

SIDDHAR KARMA YOGA SASTRA (SCIENCE)-INTRODUCTIONBased on the deeds of the past man takes birth on earth, The karma yoga sastra (science) says that a man should uphold the principles of Truth and Justice to attain greatness.The karma yoga has the unique power of increasing or decreasing the impact of the evil deeds (committed in the past births) in one's present life. Vaasiyogam is a class of yoga that strengthens the body, controls the breathing systems with the strength of the body, opens the third eye namely the eye on the forehead and helps one to attain greatness.It is a difficult task to master the art of Vaasiyogam, put it into practice to get the desired effect. Karma yoga sastra firmly says that the third eye of a person could be opened, only if he discharges his duties to the entire satisfaction of the God. The SIDDHAR Karma yoga Sastra prescribes certain paths that can be easily followed by people of various faiths, races and languages to attain greatness.The Siththa's (a class of Celestials) followed this path, removed the impact of the evil deeds of his past births and derived many benefits out of life. Sre Kagabujandar (Sre Kakabusundi) has advised his disciple that the SIDDHAR karma yoga path is a rare and unique path.The science of Siddhar karma yoga is a treasure acquired by the Siddhar.It is a wonderful Sastra that offer everything that they (Siththa's) wish for. Thus Sre Kagabujandar (Sre Kakabusundi) speaks about the greatness of Karma yoga in his text 'SIDDHAR karma yoga Sastra".SIDDHAR KARMA YOGA- KINDSSiddhar Karma Yoga can be divided into two parts based on the theory that causes the deed to be done and performs the deed. They are:(1) Karma yoga unto oneself (2) Karma yoga unto others.KARMA YOGA UNTO ONESELFThis means doing one's duty that one is bound is to do to himself or to his relatives. One should possess a good conduct in order to build up his character and abide by the rules laid down by the law of righteousness in his present birth. One should do his duty he is bound to do towards his sister, brother, father, mother, wife, uncle, children grandfather and grandmother. He should discharge his duties to the entire satisfaction of God, direct them to lead a virtuous life in accordance to the law of righteousness. He should staid as the very embodiment of the principles prescribed by the treatise and therefore instill them to do good deeds in all the ways they can in order to enable them to reap the benefits out of life. Thus he should ultimately make them devoted followers of the Science of Karma yoga. Thus, "The Universal Supreme Preceptor Sre Kaagabujandar" speaks about "Siddhar karma yoga unto oneself in his treatise on karma yoga. Thus, the treatise contains the direct advice of The Supreme Preceptor of the Universe - "Sre Kagabujandar"(Sre Kakabusundi)to his kind disciple Sre Gorakkar.KARMA YOGA UNTO OTHERSKarma Yoga unto others is discharging duty to other souls who are not related to us. A person who follows Karma Yoga should possess a good conduct and character and adhere the path of righteousness. Apart from this he can advice those who are friendly with him to follow the path of righteousness and make abide by the rules laid down by the principles of Truth and Justice. One should make others to do their duties properly in order to reap the benefits of good deeds and thereby enable them to lead an ideal life. Thus, The Supreme Preceptor of the Universe - "Sre Kagabujandar" in his text lays emphasis on "Karma yoga unto others" in his advice to Sre Gorakkar.KARMA YOGA - FIRST STEPThe first step in Karma yoga is to bring our mind to concentrate on one idea. This bringing of the mind to concentrate on one thing is called as meditation. In order to control the mind, which always think of so many things at the same time, and enlighten it one should do meditation. When the mind is clear the seeds of devotion can be easily sown in the field of the mind. As a seed of devotion, one should accept any one of the Gods as his preceptor (Guruji) and begin to worship Him. The Supreme Preceptor of the Universe - "Sre Kagabujandar (Sre Kakabusundi)"has thus advised his disciple Sre Gorakkar on the first step on Karma Yoga.KARMA YOGA - SECOND STEPThe second step in Karma Yoga is love for mankind. With the guidance of the Preceptor (Guru) one should think about the greatness and setbacks of the other creations of God.One should impress in one's mind the greatness present in the creatures, as creatures they are the very embodiments of righteousness. One should be clear in mind, about how one can discharge his duties to others also do their duties properly in order to earn the fruits of the good deeds according to the science of Karma Yoga. This is the second step advised by The Supreme Preceptor of the Universe - "Sre Kagabujandar (Sre Kakabusundi)" to his disciple Sre Gorakkar.KARMA YOGA - THIRD STEPWhen one follows Karma Yoga and leads an ideal life, the evil deeds of his past births have an impact on him and prevent him from discharging his duties as prescribed in the text (Karma Yoga) by subjecting him to tests and ordeals in his present life.In such cases, the man in question must approach his Preceptor (Guru), get the blessings of the Preceptor (Guru) and the deity, and continue to follow Karma Yoga without the presence of any flaw. Moreover one should keep a constant touch with the Siththa's (Who belongs to a class of Celestials and are the very embodiment of righteousness) and receive their blessings. By doing so, one can lessen the impact of sin committed in the past births attain fulfillment in Karma Yoga reap the best benefits offered by Karma Yoga and achieve greatness in life.Thus, the sins committed in the past births give diminishing impact on the souls who seek the help of the Siththa's. Through this Science (Sastra) we come to understand that God paves the way for man to achieve greatness by his contacts with the Siththa's that have acquired the eight great mystic powers. Therefore The Supreme Preceptor of the Universe - "Sre Kagabujandar (Sre Kakabusundi)"advises us to follow this step (third step), which is most important step in Karma Yoga in his text to his disciple Sre GorakkarKARMA YOGA - SABTHA THEETCHAI'S (SEVEN TYPES OF DIVINE TEACHINGS)The Supreme Preceptor of the Universe - "Sre Kagabujandar (Sre Kakabusundi)"has instructed his disciple Sre Gorakkar on the seven paths of "Karma Yoga' for the atonement of sin in his treatise namely "Karma Yoga Theetchai's". They are:(1) Ohmkaara Theetchai(2) Sadaatchara Theetchai(3) Boga Panchaatchara Theetchai(4) Thoola Panchaatchara Theetchai(5) Suukkuma Panchaatchara Theetchai(6) Kaarana Panchaatchara Theetchai(7) Mukthi Panchaatchara TheetchaiThe Supreme Preceptor of the Universe - "Sre Kagabujandar (Sre Kakabusundi)"has advised his disciple that, if a person receives the above seven Mantra Theetchai's (Sacred formula for the invocation of the Deity) through his Preceptor (Guruji) in the prescribed manner, abide by the the rules laid down by Science of Karma Yoga in the performance of his duties unto himself and the others he can certainly free himself from rebirths and get Salvation.The Supreme Preceptor of the Universe - "Sre Kagabujandar (Sre Kakabusundi)" who is a 'Karpagavirutcha tree' (a celestial tree that offers what a person wishes for) appeared to Bhaaskharamaharishi in his dream, blessed him with seven Theetchai's. More over, he bestowed on him by touch (Sparisa Theetcha). Sre Kagabujandar (Sre Kakabusundi) instructed the Bhaaskharamaharishi to give complete details on the seven paths to devotees who have a high regard for him.

popularly known is the holy five syllables (literally holy five letters) that is the supreme mantra of all devotees of Lord shiva. As the name suggests it is made up of five syllables. This great mantra isnamaH shivAya (namah shivaaya). The five syllables in this mantra arena - maH - shi - vA - ya.The core of the vedasThe Holy Five Syllables namaH shivAya is the heart of vedas. It is the core of the very famous chapter of vedas that stands in the middle of the vedas - theshata rudrIyamorrudra sUktam. This great mantra of veda samhita while hailing the God as the Lord of everything of the worlds, salutes the God asnamaH shivAya cha shivatarAya cha.Meaning of the panchakshara mantraThe meaning of this matchless mantra is abound. The purANas and the philosophical texts talk in a very detailed and elaborate manner its meaning and significance and hail its ultimateness. Here only a simple meaning is presented to start with.The wordshivameans auspiciousness and perfection. It refers to the God Who is Perfect without any kind of dependency on anything external to make It complete. Naturally because of this self-perfection, It is completely blissful and ever auspicious. (All other auspicious things are in one way or the other dependent on the external circumstances etc.) The prefix namaH is the mantra of salutation. The mantranamaHshivAyasalutationally invoke the Perfect God shiva.The subtle meaning of this very holy mantra is:namaH - not mine; shivAya - belongs to shiva. It is negating the ahankAra (ego) and realizing everything to belong to Lord shiva.various panchaksharaspanchakshara has five syllables, so is Lord shiva with five faces. Depending upon which letter the panchakshara is starting with, the panchakshara gets the name of a face of the God.namaHshivAyais thesadyojAta panchAksharaandshivAyanamaHis theaghora panchAksharaor theaghora mantra. Similarly the other panchaksharas also get the names.As the panchAkshara namaHshivAya is at the center of vedas, it is referred as vedic way panchAkshara. shivAyanamaH is the panchAkshara is used very much in the Agamic worship of the Lord. So it is referred as the Agamic way panchakshara.There are various panchaksharas asstUla panchAkshara, sUkshma panchAkshara, atisUkshma panchAksharaetc. each of which have specific significance. The tantric philosophic scriptures such as thirumandhiram (1) have the details about them.Ways of chanting the panchAkshariWhile many mantras have restrictions as to when and how it can be chanted etc., there is no such restriction to the panchAkshara mantra. The great prodigy sambandhar says in thEvAram, "When you sleep as well as when you do not sleep, think of the Holy Five Syllables with heartful of devotion ! This is the mantra that terribly kicked out the death when chanted (by mArkaNDeya) with sincerity."Whoever you are, whenever be the time, whatever be the situation chant the Holy Five Syllables. There are no restrictions of color, creed, caste, gender or any other restrictions. All it requires is sincerity.This mantra could be chanted as it is as panchAkshara or could be chanted along with the praNava (aum) asshaDAkshara mantra(om namahshivAya). In fact it is to be noted that praNava itself is panchakshara mantra (akara, ukara, makara, bindhu, nAtham).Benefit of chanting the mantraThe thoughts make the person. The one who has the positive thoughts is happier and the one full of worries is the sad one. The thoughts not only have effect at that moment but they definitely make impression on the personality of the individual, which could have a very long lasting impact. In this background while the good thoughts itself would be making things better, what needs to be said about the super-powered mantras that are rich in meaning as well as energy !Given the fact that "we tend to become what we keep thinking about", when one chants the Sacred panchakshara that hails the God as Perfection and Auspicious, it would take one towards that Blissful Perfection. It takes to the union with the Supreme God. What else can be more rewarding ! Even the worst sinner would get corrected and get to the glorious states if chants this mantra piously.Widespread glory of panchaksara in scripturesThe importance and glory of this mantra is stressed across the shaiva scriptures, as the most important mantra the devotee has to keep like own soul. Listing them would be highly arduous task given the importance this mantra gets in the scriptures. One may find a few of them in the stotras section (4) and thirumuRai medicine(5).Learning the various scriptures and chanting thousands of stotras (praise) of God, is all given secondary importance to chanting this great mantra. The authentic scriptures very clearly state that for the one who chants this mantra, even if none of the other scriptures are known or even any other worship of God is undertaken, that person would definitely gets eligible for the immense grace of the Supreme Lord shiva. For this the chanting of the Holy Five Syllables has been prescribed as a definite requirement for the devotee. While the rudraksha(2) and Holy Ash (3) are the ornament externally for the devotee the internal ornament is the panchAkshara mantra.The supreme mantra very simple to chant and comes with no restrictions attached in order for everybody to chant and get benefitted. With no inertia in mind chant and keep chanting as much as possiblenamahshivAya.Full of love, with melting heart, tears brimming, one who chants leading them to the Glorious path, the name that is the real essence of the four vedas is the mantranamaccivAya.OM AUM Mantras 02OM, AUMThe most sacred single syllable in the entire literature of Hinduism is OM. This word is constantly on the lips of devout Hindus from the cradle to the grave. It stands forBrahman, both as personal and impersonal God.Aum -Let us meditate on this syllable, which is the foundation of prayer.The earth emerges from the waters; plants emerge from the earth; human beings emerge from plants; speech comes from human beings; and Aum comes from speech. Aum is the essence of all essences. It is the highest of the high. It is the ultimate.Speech and breath combine to form Aum. Speech and breath are like a couple in coitus, and Aum is their offspring. Aum is the fulfillment of their desires.The syllable Aum signifies assent, for we say it when we assent to something. And assent is nothing but fulfillment.The syllable Aum is the call to knowledge. We sing the praises of this syllable, which is the key to every kind of knowledge.Those who know the soul, and those who do not know the soul, stand side by side reciting this syllable. But knowledge and ignorance are quite different. Only when it is recited with knowledge and faith, and with awareness of the hidden connections, does it become truly potent.Chandogya Upanishad I: I.Omkara (pranava) is considered to be the sound incarnation of the Supreme Personality of God and is identical with the Supreme Lord. The Narada-pancaratra states: "When the transcendental sound vibration is practiced by a conditioned soul, the Supreme Lord is present on his tongue." The Atharva-veda and the Mandukya Upanishad both mention the importance of omkara. Omkara is said to be the beginning, middle, and end, and is eternal, beyond all material restrictions. Omkara is unlimited, transcendental, and indestructible.OM represents the wholeness of the universe and the eternal vibratory sound of brahman (the universal soul) that permeates it. Indeed, Om is called shabda-brahman, the sound-form of brahman. AllHindu mantrasgenerally begin and often also end with Om. It has been frequently mentioned in the Vedas and other scriptures of Hinduism.Om is the mantra of assent. It means yes and affirms 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. By reciting Om, a person gains access to the powers of the universe; and meditation on Om is said to lead to enlightenment and immortality. OM is expansive and increases the fire, air and ether elements, particularly ether. It also gives strength, protection and grace. It connects us with the guidance power of the inner Guru.Aum is the supreme symbol of God. Aum is the whole. Aum affirms. Aum is the sound which expresses all truth.The priest begins worship with Aum. Spiritual teachers begin their lessons with Aum; and their disciples open themselves to those lessons with Aum.Those in whom Aum resides are unified with God.Taittiriya Upanishad 1:8The syllable Om, also known as Pranava, can also be spelled as AUM. According to one interpretation,"A" stands for creation,"U" stands for preservation, and"M" indicates destruction or dissolution.According to another interpretation, the three letters forming AUM indicate the three lokas (planes of existence) of this universe-both gross and subtle-Svarga (heaven), Martya (earth) and Patala (netherworld).The following brief passage is one of the clearest of the countless references to OM which can be found anywhere in the Hindu scripture.The goal which all the Vedas declare, which all austerities aim at, and which men desire when they lead the life of continence, I will tell you briefly: it is OM. This syllable OM is indeed Brahman. This syllable is the Highest. Whosoever knows this syllable obtains all that he desires. This is the best support; this is the highest support. Whosoever knows this support is adored in the world of Brahma.Katha Upanishad I, ii, 15-17Om reveals all and contains all and, like the Vedas, Om is revelation that comes throughshruti (hearing). According to the Mandukya Upanishad, Om is both atman and brahman: it is the past, the present and the future, as well as all that transcends time.The chanting of OM is generally practiced by impersonalists and those engaged in the mystic yoga process. By chanting OM and controlling the breathing perfectly, which is mostly a mechanical way of steadying the mind, one is eventually able to go into trance or samadhi. Through this system, one gradually changes the tendencies of the materially absorbed mind and makes it spiritualized. This process may take many years to perfect.Namaskar Mantra Mantras 03Namaskar MantraThis is a great mantra to use as an invocation or for thanksgiving.Om Namah Sambhavaya ChaMayaobhavaya ChaNamah Shankaraya ChaMayaskaraya ChaNamah Shivaya ChaShivtaraya ChaOm. O Almighty God. Thou art the supreme source of all worldly and divine pleasures. Thou art the impeller of our physical and spiritual advancement. O supreme Father ! We pay our humble obeisance to Thee.How To Chant Mantras 04How To ChantQuestion:I am having some doubts as to how I must chant. I am used to chanting a fixed number of rounds daily. But at times, I cannot do them in the morning. I have been reading articles and sections in books which are stipulating that we should chant with full attentiveness so as to avoid offenses against the Holy name and also, in order not to neglect Krishna's reciprocation. I want to know what I should preferably do because I cannot daily chant in a way that is full of attention. Must I chant nevertheless daily whatever be the way it is done (because I am a neophyte) or should I chant only when I feel I can give full attention to the Holy Name, for example when I wake up at 5?AnswerInattentive rounds are better than no rounds. Inattentive rounds will gradually become attentive rounds. No rounds will take you nowhere. You must therefore always chant no matter what is the quality of your rounds. Strive always for the best quality, but never stop chanting on the plea that your quality is not good enough. The only chanting that is hopeless is the chanting that you did not do.The Four Great Goddess Mantra Mantras 05The Four Great Goddess MantraHRIMHRIM (pronounced Hreem) governs over the cosmic magnetic energy and the power of the soul and causal body. It is the prime mantra of the Great Goddess and ruler of the worlds and holds all her creative and healing powers. HRIM is the mantra of the Divine Maya that destroys the worldly maya. It has a solar quality to it but more of a dawn-like effect.HRIM awakens us at a soul or heart level, connecting us to Divine forces of love and attraction. It is charming and alluring, yet purifying. Through it we can control the illusion power of our own minds.In Vedic terms HRIM is a mantra of the Sun, particularly in terms of illumination. It increases our aspiration and receptivity to Divine light, wisdom and truth. It opens the lotus of the heart to the inner Sun of consciousness. It is a mantra of the region of heaven or the consciousness space in which all the worlds exist.Source: The Mantric Approach of the Vedas by David FrawleyKRIMKRIM (pronounced Kreem) governs over prana as lightning or electrical energy. KRIM grants all spiritual faculties and powers - from the arousing of kundalini to opening the third eye. It has a special power relative to the lower chakras, which it can both stimulate and transform. It helps awaken and purify the subtle body.KRIM is the great mantra of Kali, the Goddess of energy and transformation. It is also the mantra of Indra, the supreme deity of the Vedas, the Divine as the cosmic lord and enlightenment force. KRIM is the thunderbolt or vajra that destroys the serpent of the ignorance and releases the light of absolute truth. As a mantra of work and transformation, KRIM is the mantra of Kriya Yoga, the Yoga of practice. It is the main mantra of the Yoga Shakti. KRIM carries the supreme life force. It is a strong mantra; use it with care.Source: The Mantric Approach of the Vedas by David FrawleyHUMHUM (pronounced Hoom) is a Vedic mantra of Agni or fire. It is the mantra used to make offerings into the sacred fire. It is also used to call or invoke the fire and to make it flame up more brilliantly. HUM is a mantra of the inner fire or thermogenic force. It represents the soul hidden the body, the Divine immanent in the world. It both calls the divine down into us and offers our soul upward to the Divine for transformation in the sacred fire of awareness.HUM is a Shiva mantra; but it is also a mantra of Chandi, the fierce form of Kali. It is used to destroy negativity and creates great passion and vitality. It governs the earth and the material sphere in general.HUM is a powerful mantra; hence it should be used carefully. However, it can be used in a more gentle manner to invoke divine grace and protection. Through it we can offer ourselves or our afflictions into the Divine for purification and transformation.Source: The Mantric Approach of the Vedas by David FrawleySHRIMSHRIM (pronounced Shreem) is a mantra of love, devotion and beauty.SHRIM is a Lakshmi mantra, the Goddess of Beauty and divine grace. Yet SHRIM works at a deeper level than merely to give us the good things of life, including health. It takes us to the heart and gives faith and steadiness to our emotional nature.SHRIM allows us to surrender to, take refuge in, or be immersed in whatever we offer the mantra to. It is the mantra of beauty and delight and has a pleasing lunar quality. It also relates to the head and can be used to flood the senses with divine beauty and delight. It promotes health and aids in fertility and rejuvenation.Source: The Mantric Approach of the Vedas by David FrawleyThe Four Great Goddess MantraHRIM, KRIM, HUM, and SHRIM are four great Goddess mantras that govern the prime forms of energy as magnetic force, electrical force, heat, and delight. These four mantras can be used together with OM to get an extremely powerful mantra:OM HRIM KRIM HUM SHRIM!This brings about an integral development of body, mind and soul in harmony with the Divine or inner Self.The Maha-Mrityunjaya Mantra Mantras 06The Maha-Mrityunjaya MantraThe Maha-Mrityunjaya Mantra is a life-giving Mantra.

We worship the Three-Eyed One (Lord Shiva), who is naturally fragrant, immensely merciful and who is the Protector of the devotees. Worshipping Him may we be liberated from death for the sake of immortality just as the ripe cucumber easily separates itself from the binding stalk. By your Grace, Let me be in the state of salvation (Moksha) and be saved from the clutches of fearful death.Hindus believe that there is great power in the repetition of the Sacred Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra, the Mantra of Liberation.The Gayatri Mantra Mantra 07The Gayatri MantraThe Gayatri Mantra, also known as the Savitri Mantra, is one of the most important mantras in the Hindu scriptures. It is found in the Rig-Veda (Rig- Veda III/62/10).It is perhaps the greatest Vedic mantric chant.This mantra is chanted at sunrise, noon and sunset. At dawn it is called Gayatri, the youthful form of the Goddess, consort of Lord Brahma, the creator. It is called Savitri, the mature form, at noon, the consort of Lord Shiva. It is called Sarasvati, the elderly form, at sunset, the consort of Lord Vishnu.The Gayatri Mantra was first cognized by the Rishi Vishwamitra. Rishi Vishwamitra is the embodiment of tapas or ascetic force and his mantra carries that power of light, energy and transformation.
