Call Recording: Muruga and Other Discussion

Mytho-therapy:

At one time Maharishi Brighu knew the secret of Om and was trying to destroy the world. Lord Siva prevented this act by placing his hands over Brighu’s head and saying: ‘You must forget the Om mantra.’ At that instant the secret of Omkara mantra faded from his memory. Brighu realized what was happening and in turn cursed Siva saying: ‘You will forget the Om mantra too.’ And Siva forgot the secret of Om as well.  Later on Siva went to Muruga and asked him to teach the secret of the Omkara mantra to him.  Muruga agreed explaining that Siva would have to be his student. Siva agreed, and Muruga whispered the secret of Om in his father’s ear. This is the history of the vortex of the Muruga temple at Swamimalai.

Dr. Pillai teaches Om as Ah, Oo, Ma:

• Ah represents Siva,
• Oo represents Shakti
• Ma represents Maya

Even just using one of these syllables manifests great power.

Muruga’s 6 Heads:

Muruga’s 6 Heads represent 6 parts of the brain as well as 6 Siddhis.  These represent the 5 faces of Siva and the Face of Uma Devi or Parvati, which can only be seen by the wise. He is able to see North, South, East West Sky and Earth. These faces represent the 5 senses which lead to the 6^th sense, or inner knowing, the Atho-mugam.

The 6 faces mantra is: SA RA VA NA BA VA

Forehead: Tatpurushaya

Top of Head: Ishanaya

Right Brain: Aghora Hridayaya

Left Brain: Vama Devaya

Back of Brain (Occipital Lobe): Sadyojataya

3^rd Eye, Pineal Gland Atho-mugam

Call Recording: Muruga, Nature of Nakshatras and How It Affects Compatability

Muruga or Skanda is the God of the Pleiades, the God of Light, who is going to give a break for all humanity. The Siddhas have revealed that humans have a weakness and are frustrated with God because things aren’t happening. This weakness is they lack 100% faith, This particular form of Muruga is called Prachanda Skandaya. He can give you a tremendous amount of trust or faith. With 100% Faith you can move mountains. Once that faith is established everything will happen.  So faith is very crucial. His mantra to access his energy and acquire 100% faith is:

Om Tripura Samhara Prachanda Skandaya Namaha

Muruga comes to the Earth plane to give us incredible ‘Blessings’. That “Blessing is to stop the mind.  Patanjali says it clearly in his Yoga Sutra. The first teaching of the Yoga Sutra is to stop the mind. Yoga is stopping the mind.   When you stop the mind you have access to a tremendous amount of energy which can give you omniscience, omnipotence, and omnipresence. Muruga can give this to you if he wants to. He gave it to Arunagiri when he prevented his suicide.

The mantra is:

Summa Iru Sollara’

which means : ‘Be still, without words’.

Muruga’s Gayathri is another powerful way to connect to Muruga:

Om Karthikeyaya Vidh Mahe

Shakti Hastaya Dhi Mahi

Tanna Skanda Prachodyat

~ This mantra creates or builds an armor around us that protects us from our enemies and gives us courage to face them.

One area of compatability in relationships is to evaluate the nature of the star (Nakshatra) someone’s Moon is in as well as the nature of the star (Nakshatra) of their partner.

People who have stars with the same nature have an excellent degree of compatability in this area:

• Deva/Deva
• Human/Human
• Rakshasa/Rakshasa

People who have one partner with a star with nature of Human and one partner with a star of another nature have OK compatability in this area:

• Deva/Human
• Rakshasa/Human

People who have one partner with a star with nature of Deva and a star with nature of Rakshasa are evaluate as not having compatability in this area:

• Deva/Rakshasa

You can run your own birth chart and that of your partner for free at www.AstroVed.com and then look up the nature of your stars with this table:

There are several other areas that astrologers look at for compatability. This is just one.

Transformative Mantra given to Arunagiri by Muruga: Chumma Iru Sollara (Mind Be Still)

• Kumaran means youthful.
• Guhan gives you the secrets of life, the hidden secrets of life.
