Notes from the book titled ‘Rudra Mantras'

Notes from the book titled ‘Rudra Mantras'

The recitation of the Namaka and the Chamaka hymns is part of this practice. The focus here is not on the mere chanting of the mantra, but on the practice of inner yajna, the yajna which is occurring in our subtle bodies.

Every Veda mantra has at least two levels of meaning namely the surface meaning and the deep meaning emphasizing the spiritual and psychological knowledge adhyatma. The understanding of the spiritual / psychological meaning is important for the practice of inner yajna.

A Vedic Mantra is outwardly a poetic verse. At a deeper level, it is the expression of the intuition arising out of the depths of the soul of the rishi. It is the voice of the rhythm which has created the worlds and is still creating perpetually several of its aspects.

A mantra is packed with the power of the ascetics (tapas) of the rishis to whom it was revealed. Even a person who has no earlier exposure to the Veda can feel its power when a devotee chants it in the proper mode.

Rig Veda mantras propound all the speech or all the ideas and thoughts leading to all-sided perfection; the Yajur Veda develops the mind which is the source of all actions; the Sama Veda makes us fully develop our life energies or prajna for completely developing our potential. The Atharva Veda gives the methods of perfection of our body and senses like eyes (chakshu) or hearing.

The focus of the Yajur Veda is yajna or sacrifice, specifically the inner yajna (antar yajna) occurring in our subtle body. The outer rite is only a physical framework for those who cannot do the inner yajna.

Rudra-Adhyaya is also known as shatarudriya hymn (a hundred ways of extolling Rudra).

The entire manifestation of the cosmos was the result of the mantra. Similarly rishis realised that every mantra recited with the appropriate metre (chhandas) rhythm or chant along with the understanding of its meaning results in a creative act with a high degree of perfection. That is why the rishis were called as world-builders (Rig Veda 9.86.21).
