Gayatri Mantra: According to the Hindu scriptures Devi Gayatri is the Mother of the Vedas. It is said that even Trinities (Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva) worship her as their Mother.
The Gayatri Mantra is the prescribed daily mantra for all Hindus and regarded as the remover of all sins and the bestower of all desired things. It is also part of the Sandhya Vandana.
The sage Vishwamitra is given the credit for bringing Mother Gayatri to earth. The following is the most commonly recited Gayatri Mantra.

According to the Hindu belief there are fourteen worlds. Bhu, Bhuvah, Svaa, Mahaa, Janah, Tapah, Satyam are the seven Higher worlds and Atata, Kutala, Vitala, Mahatala, Rasatala, Bhutala and Patala are the seven Lower worlds. The above Gayatri mantra is recited by those seeking the Higher worlds.

Auspicious Vedic Mantras for pregnant ladies
Woman is the embodiment of the Holy Mother and motherhood is the most rewarding experience for the ladies. Pregnancy and the feel of the child gives the woman a sense of great joy and emotional fulfillment.
In the ancient Indian scripture Mahabharata, Arjuna teaches the great warfare technique called Padmavyuha to his pregnant wife Subhadra and the child in the womb, Abhimanyu learns it. That is why pregnant ladies are advised to read the scriptures and keep their thoughts positive and pleasant so that the child in the womb gets positive impulses. The medical research also shows that the feelings and experiences of the pregnant ladies have and impact on the growth and development of the child in the womb.
It is said in the Vedas that to get the best benefits the Vedas must be either recited or listened. The great ancient sages of India have composed the verses in the divine language Sanskrit in such a way that reciting or even listening, to the Vedic mantras is a great boon to the heart and body mind and soul. The spiritual vibrations have a refreshing and rejuvenating impact on our physical mental faculties and enhance our spiritual faculties. That is the reason why, in traditional Indian families, the pregnant ladies are advised to read or recite scriptures and Stotras like Bhagavad Gita, Bhagavatam, Vishnu Sahasranama, Lalita Sahasranama, Sri Rudram etc. They give good health, serenity and peace to the mother and the energy of the mantras during this formation stage will help the physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual growth of the child in the womb and afterwards also.
There are also several specific mantras in the Vedas for the welfare of the pregnant ladies and the child in the womb. Reciting or listening to them daily is considered highly auspicious.

The basics about Mantras and other remedies
While the Hindu Vedic astrology believes in the theory of fate it also advocates that you can make efforts to improve your destiny and counter act your fate by performing various remedies like poojas, stotra path, japa and charity etc. Given bellow are some of the time tested and trusted remedies prescribed in the various astrological and other important scriptures. For specific problems and remedies you can always consult us. But even if there is no problem, performing a Vedic puja, reciting of the mantras or charity will improve your overall progress.
Do not expect any overnight miracles. People in the olden days used to start learning poojas, yoga, meditation etc from the age of five. By the time they were 15 to 16 years old they used to attain a fairly good level of spiritual standards and when they performed poojas etc. even the Gods used to come down. Now a days people start doing Om Namah Shivaya or Maha Mritunjaya mantra japa only when they have a BP attack or when their son is ill! However one thing is sure. These remedies slowly wash away the negative karmic influences and improve the positive effects. By performing these poojas etc. your troubles may not vanish totally but the intensity of trouble is reduced and you get the inner strength to face them with courage and confidence. We have prescribed these remedies to a lot of people and they benefited. They do work. That is why they have survived for so many thousands of years.
Rules and regulations: A lot of people are worried about the rites and rituals to be followed for performing poojas, reciting stotras and doing mantra japa. There several types of poojas of the deities and some of them can take a whole day. The way a pooja is performed also varies depending on ones regional and traditional back ground. Various pooja books and websites prescribe long preparations and rituals for poojas. It is not possible for every one to perform a pooja like an ordained Vedic priest. Hence our scriptures allow one to do a pooja “Yatha shakti” or as per ones capability and convenience. Doing it with faith is what really matters. The minimum is: Take bath, wear clean clothes, light a lamp and an incense stick and offer some prasad – if you don’t have anything at home the simple milk or sugar will do. You can rest assured that that the Gods will not curse you! Preferably keep an idol or photograph of the deity.
While doing pooja or mantra japa, preferably, repeat preferably and if possible, set aside a particular place to sit, face east or north, sit on an asan – preferably silk or woolen. If you cant manage these don’t stop doing pooja or japa!
For mantra reciting, a lot depends on the type of mantra you intend to recite and the purpose. Some people recite some mantras daily. It is up to their convenience. The normal number of times a mantra is recited is 3, 11, 21, 27, 54 and 108 or more.
For specific Graha shanti, the number of times the mantra to be recited is prescribed. The prescribed time limit during which it should be completed is one mandala or 40 days. You are given a grace period of 8 days, taking into account any emergency or illness. So maximum 48 days.
If you have taken a vow to do X number of japas in Y number of days – jolly well do as vowed! No short cuts and no excuses. This is one failure for which the Gods make you pay! So think and calculate carefully (use a calculator please!) and keep an emergency cushion, before you take a vow!!
For most other mantras for specific purpose or siddhi, the time limit is 48 days. The minimum number of times the mantra is to be recited to give results, is 1 lack times with an extra 25% prescribed to compensate for any mistakes in pronunciation, counting and wavering of concentration – so 1,25,000 times total.
For the daily japa there are no restrictions. For the specific purpose and period oriented recitals – non-vegetarian food, alcoholic drinks and sex outside marriage are prohibited. Advisable to avoid onions and beneficial if u can avoid/reduce spices.
There are some highly ritualistic tantric mantras and poojas. While doing these you cant have sex, prohibited from telling lies and should not even get angry for 48 days. I did one Don’t worry. I have not given those mantras here!
After the main mantra japa, preferably you must recite the gayatri mantra 108 times.

Bija Mantras
Bija means a seed. Hence Bija Mantra means a mantra which is usually of one syllable. The table below is not complete, but gives the most common bija mantras.
The best tantrik view of mantra is given in Sir John Woodroffe’s collection of essays, Shakti and Shakta, chapter 24.
“The supreme absolute (Parabrahman) exists in the human being (jivatma) as Shabda Brahman, the absolute as sound. Mantras are not prayers and the relationship of the letters of the Sanskrit alphabet, whether consonants or vowels, he says, point to the appearance of devata (divinity) in different forms. An uttered mantra is the manifestation of a more subtle sound while mantras themselves are forms of Kundalini. Mantras may be male, female or neutral. Female mantras are called Vidyas.
By Mantra the sought for (Sadhya) Devata appears, and by Siddhi therein is had vision of the three worlds. As the Mantra is in fact Devata, by practice thereof this is known. Not merely do the rhythmical vibrations of its sound regulate the unsteady vibrations of the sheaths of the worshipper, but therefrom the image of the Devata appears.” (op cit) Mantras are masculine (solar), feminine (lunar) or neuter. A female mantra is called a vidya, which means knowledge, while solar and neuter forms are called mantras. Mantras are only such if they were first revealed by a rishi or seer. Only then do they have life, according to the tradition. A mantra can only work if it is received from a guru who has, herself or himself, received it in an unbroken line from its first rishi. There are, however, exceptions to this, according to some tantras which prescribe methods of purification for mantras received in dream. And, according to Mahachinachara, the Kali mantra does not rely on the very elaborate rules usually found in the Tantras.
In describing mantras, the different tantrik texts always give their origin or rishi as well as the metre to pronounce them. While a mantra is divinity in sound form, a yantra is the same in geometrical form and an image the devata in gross form. Refer also to the page on Tattvas on the relationship between the consonants and the 36 tattvas.”
Om is the famous bija mantra. It is known as Pranava or the salutation mantra. The Bhutadamara describes it as the face of Kala. Revealed by Mahakala, it is the form of creation, maintenance and withdrawal.
The bija mantra Shrim is described as Vishnupriya – the beloved of Vishnu – that is Lakshmi, according to the Uddhara Kosha. The syllable Hrim is called the Maya bija. It is also Raudri, according to the Bhutadamara. The UK describes it as the Para or supreme bija. The bija mantra Krim is described as the pitribhuvasini, that is the goddess who dwells in the ancestral or cremation ground, Kali. It is also the dravana and kledana bija.
Hum with the long letter ‘u’ is called the Kurcha bija and is the mantra of the Mother worshipped by heroes (viras). The Bhutadamara also describes it as the mantra of Mahakala. Aim is called Vagbhava bija and is the syllable of Sarasvati, according to the BD. Phat is the bija of the great fire at the end of time (Pralayagnirmahajvala).
Krom is called the Krodhisha bija. Svaha, otherwise known as Thah Thah, is Vahnijaya, representing the fire sacrifice.
Klim is the deluder of the three worlds bija, also known as Kama or Manmatha, the Hindu god of love, often identified with Krishna. It is the sexual desire bija, says the BD. Hum (with the short letter ‘u’) is called the Kavacha or armour bija. It is the bija of Chandabhairavi. Hraim is the bija which destroys great sins (mahapataka), and is the light mantra. Drim is called the great Kinkini (small bell) bija, says the Bhutadamara.
Sphem is the Bhairava (Shiva) bija which comes at the end of a yuga. Plrem is the Vetala (vampire) bija, according to the Bhutadamara.
Klrim Svaha is called the bija which causes things to tremble. It is the Manohari and ends in Thah Thah (Svaha, see above). The mantra Prim is the crow bija, used in works of Indrajala (magic). The UK describes this bija as the Vagura. Tham Tham Thah Thah are the bijas in the worship of the greatly alluring Chandika, says the BD. Sphrim is the bija of the uncanny Dhumrabhairavi (smoky Bhairavi), also known as Phetkarini.
The bija Hrum (with long letter ‘u’) is the single syllable mantra of Kalaratri, the great night of time. The same bija, but with a short letter ‘u’, is the mantra of Vaivasvata.
Hskphrem, says the BD, is the bija mantra of Ananda Bhairava in the form of one’s own guru.
