Sri Lalitha Sahasranama Adhyaaya Saram – Preliminary discourse continues…05

40. Nyaasa Vidhi

Rishi – Chhandhas – Devatha is the chronology for doing Nyaasam. The Bheeja manthram (Hymn) used based on the importance of its energetic field within our body. Nyaasam means cleansing or purifying the specific part of the body so that the divine power can stay there and resonate across the body. Three important components make the Nyaasam perfect viz: Bheejam/Seed (Om Ayim) – Sakthi/Energy (Om Sau) – Keelakam/Shoot (Kleem). It is like Germination process. In other words Manthraas invisible living beings!!

41. Vital part of a Manthram

They are three portions viz: Bheejam-Sakthi-Keelakam. The reason for that is, human beings cannot see all the existence of particles in this universe. Our eyes are set for certain things to be visible to us (in fact this is one of the limitations of human beings). Therefore, all the specials and divine powers are kept in the Bheeja (Seed) and covered with Maya so that ordinary people can’t access or realize the importance of it. Our great Rishis (Mahasthmaas) spent years of time on meditation to reveal these powers to the needy so that he/she can elevate himself/herself from this trouble giving transmigration.

Head – where the knowledge resides, Heart – where divine power resides and Sikha – Kundalini power comes and goes out from here. This is why the worshiper should touch these auspicious parts of the body.
