Pancha-Brahma Mantras

Below are the Pancha-Brahma mantras that come to us from the Taittiriy a Arany aka (X.1 7 -
21 ) of the Krsna Y ajurv eda. The tenth chapter of the Taittiriy a Arany aka is also called the
Mahanaray an Upanishad. Therefore, these mantras can also be said to belong to the
Mahanaray ana Upanishad (1 7 -21 ). These mantras are used frequently in Shiv a Pujas, and
alluded to often in Shiv a worship protocols and manuals. The Pancha-Brahma mantras ex alt
Shiv a through His fiv e forms (faces) Sady ojata, Vamadev a, Aghora, Tatpurusa and Isana.
The fiv e faces or forms of Shiv a represent the fiv e functions or acts (panchakrity as)
creation, sustenance, dissolution, concealing grace and rev ealing grace, respectiv ely . The
fiv e forms or faces of Shiv a also correspond to the fiv e sy llables in the holy pentasy llabic
mantra na-mah-shi-v -y a. Note that the Tatpurusa mantra is but the Rudra Gay atri.

1. Sadyojta Mantra

sadyojta prapadymi sadyojtya vai namo nama
bhave bhave nti bhave bhavasva m bhavodbhavya nama

I take refuge in the First Born, v erily I bow to the First Born
Do not consign me to birth after birth;
Guide me bey ond birth, I bow to the Causer of birth.

2. Vmadeva Mantra

Param ashiva Jyoti

vmadevya namo jyehya nama rehya
namo rudrya nama klya nama
kalavikaraya namo balya namo
balavikaraya namo balapramathanya nama
sarvabhtadamanya namo manonmanya nama

I bow to the Noble One, the Eldest; to the Best, to Rudra and to Time,
I bow to the Incomprehensible, to Strength,
To the Causer of v arious forces, and to the Ex tender of Strength.
Welcom e
I bow to the Subduer of all beings, and to the One who kindles the Light.
Aum Namah Shivaya. Shiva Darshana
3. Aghora Mantra explores Shaivite theology, philosophy and
tradition from the viewpoint of various

schools, texts, and teachers. Shiva Darshana
