Mantra Chants: The Beginning
Let us see some important rules for mantra chants many times people take up mantra chants without any sankalpa sankalpa means a solemn resolve to perform a fixed count of mantra chants every day they do not even perform puja or modes of worship or follow any specific methodology prescribed in various types of Shastra some people out of their inner inspiration chant a few rounds of mantra on rosaryor mala made of rudraksha or tulsi beads depending on the Devatas, these people try to please the Devata through Mantra Chants.
What Mantra Chants Practice do People undertake?
Some of them prefer to chant in the morning, but some chant in the evening and some at both times. It totally depends on the comfort level of the sadhaka. Undertaking Mantra chants, some of them y pick up a mantra resonating well with them and with total faith.
At the beginning many of the chanters cannot fix the number of rounds of mala or rosary. Some chant two rounds every day while some others chant four rounds and so on. The only constant thing is that they do not miss even a single day of chanting and ensure that they cover the fixed number of malas of Mala Chants they are committed to.
What can Mantra Chants do for us?
Let us now consider the conditions for chanting mantra. Most of the time people who chant regularly each day without missing experience tremendous changes in their lives, positive changes that can baffle the listeners. Such can be the effect of casual chanting of the mantra. The only condition is that one should chant the mantra long enough and at fixed times of the day. Other than that that are no other rules that define this mode of mantra.
Many people claim that by simply chanting the mantra, the mantra fulfills their wishes and many opportunities for growth in their material life also open up. Some claim that celibacy is not important when one takes up such a simple form of sadhana now why is celibacy important?
Why is Celibacy Important?
Observing celibacy is like having a heavy-duty dry battery within the human system, which saves up untold units of energy which improves concentration and keeps the mind pure.
When we observe celibacy we are reinforcing our energy gathered out of mantra chants. On the other hand if we do not observe celibacy our mind shall lose its potency which shall distract us and spoil our concentration. The effects of infatuation and lust are negative. When it comes to mantra siddhi it is important to understand that a distracted mind cannot be the resting place for a Devata who is involved through a mantra.
Why should we control our Senses?
If we indulge in sex during the course of the sadhana the act will waste all our inner energies and we can never bear the power required to harness the potency of the mantra. Although we may not follow any other specific rule it is important that we maintain perfect celibacy during the course of mantra sadhana.
It is also important to not expose ourselves to sexual content talking bad about others and also avoid using abusive language such acts shall weaken our resolve and also disperse the powers of the mind. Mantra chants shall only bear results through a well-focused concentrated mind. Celibacy is a very important prerequisite for effective Mantra Chanting. Celibacy or Brahmacharya is a form of withdrawal from mundane activity.

How can the Mantra be Awakened
When an individual starts chanting the mantra for a reasonably long span of time it will awaken the Mantra Shakti. This is also known as the jagrati of the mantra. There are two ways in which we can awaken the mantra and make it jagruth or awakened in the first method a person chants 10 000 mantras over a period of 30 days during the same period the person has to do Havan also known as Homa or make sacrifices to the fire god.
He has to perform the Pooja with items like flowers vermilion rice and other admissible items along with following the rules of yagna. He makes thousand offerings to the fire god with these articles. If he has chanted ten thousand mantras, this is one tenth of the total number of mantra japa that the person has performed.
Again in the same period, the person offers water oblations or tarpanamto the Devata and so should make thousand water offerings to the Devata whose mantra the sadhaka is chanting.
However in any process, Guru Ajna or permission of a Bonafide Spiritual Master is mandatory.
An Effective Way to Awaken Mantra
There is a second method of awakening the mantra. The second method is that the person does 10 000 mantras for a period of 30 days and the person does an extra thousand mantras of chanting. This he does instead of doing the fire sacrifice in addition he does another thousand mantras of chanting instead of offering water oblations thus chanting a total of twelve thousand mantras.
Thus instead of the original ten thousand mantras completed in thirty days he completes 12 000 mantras around the same time question is when we can obtain mantra siddhi. The actual number of mantras that we need to chant cannot be less than 125 000 in all and extra mantras to cover the water oblations and the fire sacrifice.
Chant More and Gain More
If a person successfully covers chanting so many mantras even without keeping account, results will follow even as the sadhaka continues to do this chanting regularly. All the merits will accumulate and produce spectacular results. The exact number of counts for mantra siddhi depends on the mantra and the qualities of the person chanting. It thus is a subjective matter. It can never be told exactly when a mantra attains siddhi for a particular Sadhaka.
How to Attain Siddhi in Speech
It also depends on how much Negative Karma each sadhaka carries within his consciousness. Such karma has to be first destroyed by the mantra which can take considerable amount of time. Above all Guru is necessary who will boost the effects of mantra a million times over. Now what effects do mantra chants produce the first major result that the person sees is “waka “Vaka” siddhi. In other words whatever the person says will start manifesting at regular frequencies.
It does not mean that whatever the person says starts becoming true. This is Kali Yuga and Kali Yuga has its own defects which can curtail the power of the siddha. However, many things that the Sadhaka speaks through inspiration shall prove to be a reality. The sadhaka’s mental domain expands by leaps and bounds and knowledge will start percolating into the sadhaka’s mind. Unexplored aspects of knowledge will start to reveal themselves within the heart of a Sadhaka.
How Knowledge of the Scriptures are Revealed
One shall be able to practically experience the knowledge about situations people as well as automatically acquire esoteric knowledge the sadhaka will also develop deeper intelligence to interpret shastra in a fresh new light and shall be able to delve deeper into the scriptures this will also produce amazing insights into the subject of how things work and manifest it in the relative world.
Many people may ask why we see great results by chanting alone. Most people who have done such a rigorous sadhana shall start getting things even before they feel the need for it such is the power of mantra chants. Blocks that had existed earlier shall start getting removed. Many new avenues of opportunities shall start opening up all this starts happening because the Devata presiding over the mantra attaches himself to the thought word and deed of the Sadhaka.
All of the sadhaka’s activities are actually directed by the devata and not by the whims of the uncontrolled mind.
Greater Advantanges of Mantra Chants
Here are some additional benefits of mantra sadhana.
The greatest advantage of such mantra sadhana is that all the cobwebs and dichotomies of the mind are completely fleshed out clarity emerges at the thought word and deed levels. There remains no confusion of where we are heading to. Even the image of the future opens up within the screens of our purified minds This is not imagination but the view of the upcoming reality.
Only a sadhaka can take perfect decisions a sadhaka is one who has committed himself to the mantra chants all his life. There cannot be any other individual who can take almost perfect decisions. Mantra chants is not an imagined science but a perfect practical science that is an integral part of Sanatana Dharma.
