Get Creative! Mantras to Unlock Your Imagination

Let Brahma kick-start your creativity!

Have you ever been stuck?

We have all been there: a deadline, a pressured moment, a desperate need for a creative response from our brains – and nothing happens!

This is known as writer’s block (and perhaps also artistic temperament!). In any case, a lack of creativity can stifle a career in any of the arts.

Sometimes stepping back from the problem and refocusing after a break helps. Other times, we may feel that nothing can get us back on track. But do not despair!

Worship Brahma and Saraswathi

Whether you’re looking to hone your creative talent or add a ability to your skillset, pray to Brahma for inspiration. Brahma is the God of Creation and embodies the power of pure creative energy.

Here is His Gayatri Mantra:

Transliteration:

“Om Chaturmukhaya Vidmahe
Hamsa rudhaya Dhimahi
Tanno Brahma Prachodayat”

Semi-literal Translation:

“We know the four-faced one,
We meditate on the rider of the Swan,
May Brahma inspire us” 

Benefits

• Raw creative power
• The ability to architect and manage large-scale projects
• Greater efficiency and productivity
• Absorb vast amounts of knowledge

Worship Brahma on Thursdays for maximum benefits.

One may also worship Saraswathi alongside for a creative/scholastic combination.

Thoughts on Mantra: Use your Powerful Subconscious!

The subconscious mind holds the key to uninterrupted mantra japa!

The subconscious mind is a powerful tool. In combination with mantras, it can lead to quick siddhi.

The subconscious mind is fast 

Subconscious thought processes actually run much faster than the conscious mind. It is not necessarily slowed by what is rational or by checks and balances as per the conscious mind. It is truly your consciousness untethered by reality.

Use it to chant 

Implanting the seed of mantra into the subconscious mind is a powerful technology. Why? Because it allows you to continue to chant a mantra, uninterrupted, focused and with all concentration through the night  as you sleep.

The benefit is that this adds up to another 7-9 hrs of extra chanting per day! You will also feel awake, alive and refreshed the next morning because you sleep deep in concentration and your brain straight away reaches what’s known as the delta wave level of sleep.

The method

The method works particularly well after a long day of intense concentration at work and ideal for weekdays.

Your mind will require some rest during dinner, then sit to meditate with a moderate level of concentration on your chosen mantra. With practice, your mind will continue to chant it through your sleep.

You’ll know if succeeded if you wake up still chanting the mantra.

Thoughts on Mantra: Alternative Bija Mantras

Bijas are powerful seeds

Bijas are primordial sounds which channel the creative power of the Gods. They are in themselves siddhi and attraction mantras. Chanting them instantly starts a chain of events that result in the aspirant attracting what he/she wants.

The most two popular mantras within this group are Shreem (to create material abundance) and Kleem (gain the power of attraction – especially of female companionship). Click on each bija mantra to read prior articles on the subjects.

Not just Kleem and Shreem

Many people do not realise that other mantras are actually bijas hidden in plain sight! The most prominent examples are the Panchakshari mantra: Nama Shivaya, the Ashtakshari: Om Namo Narayanaya, and Rama.

These can also be chanted as bijas to gain immediate benefits. All of these particular mantras are powerful purifiers.

What does this mean? It means the clarification of:

• Mind (clarity without confusion, concentration, focus);
• Intellect (positivity, kind and auspicious thoughts);
• Body (a spiritual level cleanliness above physical cleanliness);
• Soul (removes bad karma).

Note that the mind and intellect are considered as two independent processes within the brain in both Freudian and Vedantic methodologies.

Purity is Power; Step into the Shower!

Tap into the Power of Water to bring Subconscious thought to the surface!

Struggling to make time for prayer?

Here’s an interesting tip – pray in the shower. Prayer and particularly mantra chanting while immersed in water is known to be a powerful way to boost its effects.

The ancient people understood that doing tapas (or intense austerity and mantra chanting) standing in water is one of the ways to see faster benefits and realise the divine.

 

An adaptation to today’s fast-paced lifetstyle

Why? There are many reasons: it start their day in a focused manner with thoughts of god; its when you’re naturally relaxed by the warmth of the water to allow the mind to meditate; you tend to close your eyes automatically;  you’re probably the cleanest you’ll be during the day – and cleanliness is godliness!

 

Bringing crystal clarity to the workings of the subconscious mind

A period of concentration, reflection and introspection in the morning can also bring about fantastic clarity to your thought. It also allows you to align yourself with the energy of Varuna, the God of Water and one of the Vedic trinity.

 

Varuna – the Lord of Universal Justice

In Vedic lore, prior to the establishment of the ‘modern’ Hindu trinity – Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva, the core deities of the Vedic pantheon were Indra, Varuna and Agni.

Varuna is popularly known to be in charge of Universal Law and Justice in the Veda. As part of this, he is the knower of all thoughts in the minds of all mankind – both good and importantly, negative and scheming. He is the universal witness and judge.

 

So how is this relevant to us?

Sometimes in life we are so caught up in our routines and regiment that we lose sight of our goals and don’t fully track our actions – for ourselves and toward others.

Invoking Varuna allows one to introspect to bring subconscious thought patterns to the surface. This will not only help us to better understand ourselves and what we want, but also to closely monitor our past actions and ensure we have not unknowingly wronged another person. Varuna is,  in effect, the God of the Conscience.

So combine emotional resolution with your morning routine to focus before a hard day and stay in touch with your goals.

 

The mantra: Varuna Gayatri

Transliteration

“Om JalbimbAye VidmahE
NIla PurushAye DhimahI
Tanno Varuna Prachodayaat”

Semi-literal Translation

“We know the reflection of water,
We meditate on the Blue Man
May Varuna inspire us.”
