Dark Compulsions

Need for understanding: consideration

when everything comes to crash above

a cold little soul clings to shallow love

seen and unseen admiration

over indulgence is of one crime

where we tend to gain events

with grey aria consequence

that must be paid for when flesh rules the mind

forget the scenes behind confessions

the results of relentless violence

this is no game in the ideal world of pretend

its causing the scream of utter silence

it is inside where we must contend

praying to the unGod expecting no answer

so used to it are you the void of religion

if accepting abuse they will return the favor

as spreading of the blasphemous cancer

and knowing all the while its only one decision

dont ever forget we get what we pray for

Healing / maha mtryunjaya

"This powerful mantra of Shiva the Rudra
removes physical, mental, and celestial
ailments.  Like Gayatri, this is an all-
purpose mantra and is commonly prescribed
by astrologers, vaidyas (medicine men),
and Tantrics.  Japa of 125,00 times
removes the fear of death, even if the
condition of the ailing person is so severe
that the doctors become helpless and no
medicine works.  After japa, homa should
be done with 12,500 repetitions of the mantra
and an offering of black sesame seeds with
each.
Mahamrityunjaya is a name of Shiva, the Lord
of Destruction.  As Mahakala he is Lord of
Death.  Meditation on the Shiva with four
arms is necessary.  In his Mahamrityunjaya
form, Shiva is sitting in a pond.  Two of
his arms are holding water pots, from which
he is pouring water over his head.  His third
hand on the right side is doing a mala, and in
his fourth hand on the left side he has another
water pot, from which water is constantly
issuing.  Sometimes one of his right hands is
shown in a blessing mudra (gesture).
Mahamrityunjaya Mantra is supposed to give
victory over death, suffering, and disease. It
removes obstacles, creates a suitable environment,
and bring happiness to life."
Tools for Tantra p. 43, Harish Johari

"Mahamrityunjaya Mantra (maha-mrityun-jaya) is one of the more potent of the
ancient Sanskrit mantras. Maha mrityunjaya is a call for enlightenment and is
a practice of purifying the karmas of the soul at a deep level. It is also
said to be quite beneficial for mental, emotional, and physical health. It is
said that whoever recites this mantra everyday will not die an early death."
http://www.answers.com/topic/mahamrityunjaya

Mantra: 
Aum Tryambakam Yajamahe
Sugandhim Pushtivardhanam
Urvarukamiva Bandhanan
Mrityor Mukshiya Maamritat

Meaning:
I worship the fragrant three-eyed god,
Lord Shiva, who nourishes all beings.
May he liberate us from death for
the sake of immortality, even as the
cucumber is severed from its bondage
to the creeper.

Chant to Supreme Light

Light is on the inside, light is on the outside,
light is in myself, beyond the beyond.

Vagdevi Cha Vidmahe Bramha Patni Cha Dhimahi Thanno Vani Prachodayat

May we realize the Goddess of Knowledge and Wisdom. Let us meditate on the spouse of Lord Brahma and may Goddess Sarasvati enlighten us.
The role of the royal couple was to maintain Maat on earth.

"One can translate the word Maat by Rule, as long as one includes in this the ideas of universal order, cosmic harmony, eternal balance of the universe, celestial justice inspiring human justice, rectitude, solidarity among living things, truth, just distribution of duties, social cohesion, wisdom."

This State magic called particularly upon the queen: "It is the woman's spiritual role, her active participation to creation in spirit, that is emphasized and practiced" (women were considered the link between Heaven and Earth). One essential magical act among many was for the queen (or a high priestess) to "sustain, by her love, the energy of the god Amon, so that the divine love could sustain Egypt". The queen is also called "She who sees Horus and Seth" -- in other words it is in her that the two enemy brothers are reconciled. The divine energy was considered a vital reality without which the country could not live in harmony with the Invisible.

Watter Purification

It is, of course, preferable to have Ganga jal [water from Ganga] for puja, but
that is not always possible or practical.  So, if Ganga jal is unavailable, one
may use this mantra to purify whatever water one has.  It is considered
improper, however, to use water collected from the bathroom for sacred purposes.

Gange cha Yamune chaiva Godavari Saraswati,
Narmade Sindhu Kaveri jalesmin sannidhim kuru

In this water I invoke the presence of holy waters from the rivers Ganga, Yamuna, Godavari, Saraswati, Narmada, Sindhu, and Kaveri

Lalita Sahasranama Stotram

Lalita sahasranama is a sacred Hindu text for the worshippers of the Goddess
Lalita Devi, i.e. the Divine Mother, in the form of her and the male gods'
feminine power, Shakti. Lalita is the Goddess of bliss, an epithet for
Parvati. Etymologically "Lalita" means "She Who Plays".
The names are organised as in a hymn, i.e. in the way of stotras. This hymn
occurs in the Brahmanda Purana. It is a dialogue between Hayagriva, a minor
incarnation (avatara) of Vishnu and the great sage Agastya.

The Lalita Sahasranama is held as a sacred text for the worship of the Divine
Mother, Lalita (and is also used in the worship of Durga, Kali, Lakshmi,
Saraswati, Bhagavathi, etc.. It is a principal text of Shakti worshippers.
Lalita Sahasranama names the various attributes of the Divine Mother, and all
these names are organised in the form of a hymn. This Sahasranama is used in
various modes for the worship of the Divine Mother. Some of the modes of
worship are parayana (Recitations), archana, homa etc.

Lalita Sahasranama is famous for the internal organization of its text and the
rhythmic sound vibrations associated with its verbal audio recitation that its
rendering can produce. Usually, in a sahasranama, if the same name repeats,
the commentators use their scholarship and inspiration to give different
meanings to different occurrences of the same name. Lalita sahasranma has the
unique distinction, among all the sahasranamas, of not repeating even a single
name. Further, in order to maintain the metre, sahasranamas use the artifice
of adding words like tu, api, ca, and hi, which are only conjunctions not
necessarily needed for the meaning except in rare cases of interpretation.
Lalita sahasranama has again the unique distinction of not having even a
single such innocuous word in its texture.

Every letter and word of the Lalita Sahasranamam is protected from
interpolation, mutilation etc. through axioms called CHALARNA SUTRAS or
PARIBHASHA SUTRAS in a manner similar to as the Vedas are protected through
various methods like - padam, kramam, ghanam etc. The pronunciation of
individual words is to be done with care to ensure that there is no
distortions in the meaning of the words. The whole hymn is a string of Mantras
with hidden esoteric meanings. The sahasranama is an esoteric text and many
meanings are attributable to each of these names; as many as sixteen meanings
are known to be applicble for some names. Extensive commenteries have been
written on the Lalita Saharanamam and a notable translation of an authentic
commentary is "Lalita-Sahasranama with Bhaskararaya's Commentary "(Translated
Into English) By: R. Ananthakrishna Sastry Published by The Theosophical
Publishing House, Adyar, Chennai. and another by Dr. C Suryanarayana murthy
published by Bhartiya Vidya Bhavan, Mumbai.

Simply chanting Lalita Sahasranama as a daily practice is intended to give
relief and create a mind free of tensions, devoted to other living beings in
the world, inculcate sincere love, unity, progressing to see divinity in all
fellow beings and overcome hatred and animosity towards our enemies. Among the
many hymns, mantras and devotional songs available, the Lalita Sahasranama is
specially suitable for worship at all times and also at particular times like
morning, evening or night. The Sahasranama is to be chanted in Sanskrit to
obtain full benefits of its the rhythmic sound vibrations and with a
conemplation on the meaning of each nama alongside with the recitation to
obtain desired benefits.

While Sahasranamas giving material well-being and salvation are prescribed for
all castes and in all stages of life, Lalita Sahasranama is generally
prescribed for all for obtaining Divine grace for fulfilment of human desires.
It is recommended that the Sahasranamama be chanted a number of times every
daily or at least once every day or at least on important occasions like,
during the summer and winter solstices, on Birth one's own, one's spouse's,
and one's children's birthdays, on Navami (the 9th or 14th day of the bright
fortnight), and on Fridays, and all auspicious occasions. This Sahasranama may
be recited especially on the Purnammi(Full-Moon) Day, as one meditates upon
Mother Lalita as seated within the disc of the Moon

Prayoga and Phalasruti detail out the method of worship and the benefits
accuring from the worship theron. The phalashruti on Lalita Sahasranama given
in a chapter following the Laita Sahasranama in the Brahmanda Purana,

Regular chanting of Sree Lalitha Sahasranama will ward off premature death,
will provide a long and contended healthy life, will give relief to fever and
headache.
Through the regular chanting of Sree Lalitha Sahasra namam, the atmosphere
will be purified. Each nerve in our body will be invigorated and subtle
energies will be awakened in the person.
It is said that if a person consumes ghee, which is kept while chanting Sree
Lalitha Sahasra namam, he will be cured of impotency and will have children
This hymn may be recied instead of various expiatory rituals.
Devi is believed to protect those who recite this hymn daily from dangers and
from attacks by enemies.
Daily recitation of the Sahasranama is believed to augment prosperity,
eloquence and fame.
Recitation on every Friday of a week for prosperity.
The Practice of chanting the Sahasranama is open to all and not restricted to
any particular denomination or caste or creed who are who have faith and
devotion for worship of the Devi
There are many Sahasranamas dedicated to Devi including Gangastava,
Bhavanistava, Gayatristava, Kalistava, Lakshmistava, Sarasvatistava,
Rajarajeshvaristava, Balastava, Syamalastava and Lalitastava. Of these Lalita
Sahasranama is held the sacred to Lalita Devi and Shakti Worship.
There are some basic rules that protect the words used in the Lalitha
Sahasranama; to have a short glimpse of a few of these rules the following
link is provided.

Planitary Mantras

In Vedic astrology, there are nine planets [refered to as Navagrahas, "nava" -
'nine', "graha" - 'planet'] which have both positive and negative influences
on human life.  When these planets create ill celestial effects the following
mantras may be recited in order to ease or negate them.  The planets are also
ruled by different deities.  Therefore, offerings to a planetary deity may
aid in this process.

These deities are as follows:
Sun - Surya
Moon - Chandra
Mars - Mangala
Mercury - Budha [not a typo]
Jupiter - Brihaspathi
Venus - Shukra

If you aren’t knowledgeable of Sanskrit, seek one who is in order to clarify

Sri Mahishasrua Mardini

Mahishasura Mardini Stotram

Translated by
P.R.Ramachander

(This very popular stotra of Goddess Durga is supposed to have been written by Ramakrishna Kavi. Nothing is known about the author. The great Tenali Rama was known as Ramakrishna Kavi and he was a great Bhaktha of Durga. But there are no references to say hat he wrote this great work. Due to its very poetic nature and repetition of words in the same stanza with different nuances, this is extremely difficult to translate. I have used the one incomplete translation available in the web (http://sanskrit.gde.to/doc_devii/mahisha_mean.itx ) as well as the recent great translation by Sri.S.N.Sastry of Madras which has been posted in www.celestel.org. The version of the stotra which I have used is slightly different from what has been quoted above. I have used transliteration with roman script)
