Method: Start the chanting on any fifth, tenth or the 15th of the bright half of the lunar month ensuring that the planetary position is of Ravipuşya ravi-müla or gurupuşya (names of specific planetary positions according to Indian astrology). Within a period of 27 days complete 12,500 repetitions and perfect the mantra. In the beginning do atthama tapa (a three day fast), otherwise do ayambila (one time one grain) or ekāsanā (one meal) in between. Conclude the practice with fast on the last day. After perfection whenever there is any problem chant 21 rosaries (108 x 21); the problem will be solved, peace will prevail and desired will be obtained.
16. The mantra for enhancing affection.
Om aim hrim namo loe savvasäāhūḥaṁ.
ॐ ऐं ह्रीं नमो लोए सब्बसाहूणं ।
Method: Take a fresh and long piece of cloth and sit down to chant facing the East. Repeat this mantra once and tie a knot in the cloth. Complete 108 repetitions tying 108 knots. This pacifies all quarrels and disputes in the family and enhances affection. 17. The mantra for achieving victory.
Om ege jie jiya pańca, pańca jie jiya dasa, Dasaha u jinittäṇam savva sattu jiņāmahaṁ. ॐ एगे जिए जिया पंच, पंच जिए जिया दस ।
दसहा उ जिणित्ताणं सव्व सत् जिणामहं ।
This stanza from the Uttaradhyayana Sutra is the Vijaya Kavaca (the Victory Armour) given by Namirajarși. Chant this verse 21 times before going to face an enemy, court or debate and think-'savva sattūjiņāmaham'-I am victorious against all enemies. After this when you move out of the house take the first step with the leg on the side of the nostril that is active, you will win. (During normal breathing, most of the time only one nostril is active.)
18. The mantra for obtaining general happiness and good luck.
Om hram hrim hrum hraum hraḥ a si à u să namaḥ.
ॐ हां हीं हूँ हौं हः असि आ उ सा नमः ।
This is called trayodaśākṣarī vidya (the thirteen letter charishma). Chanting this mantra 108 times everyday begets peace, good health and wealth.
19. Special mantra
Om a si à u să namaḥ.
ॐ अ सि आ उ सा नमः ।
This eight letter mantra is all perfecting. Chanting this every morning and evening removes all hurdles.
20. Om hrim śrim klim blūm arham namah.
ॐ ह्रीं श्रीं क्लीं ब्लूं अर्ह नमः ।
This nine letter mantra gives alround peace.
21. Om hrim śrim klim namaḥ svāhā.
ॐ ह्रीं श्रीं क्लीं नमः स्वाहा ।
Chanting this mantra 108 times every morning, noon and evening fulfils all wishes.
You should have complete faith in the mantras. There should not even be a trace of doubt in the strength of the mantra. The mantra can be perfected soon with the help of strong determination.
Truly speaking, a mantra is the combination of the power of the mind (determination), sound and divinity. As such, every letter of the ṇamokara mantra will prove to be miraculous if chanted with pure mind, strong determination, correct pronunciation and unwavering devotion for the deity.
