Throughout history, various spiritual traditions have emphasised the pursuit of a higher reality or union with the Divine. In Hinduism, chanting mantras plays a significant role on this path. This article explores the question ‘Which mantra is most effective for attaining the Supreme Being?’ For the answer, we'll delve into the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita and the perspective of Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj. The insights are based on the given YouTube video by Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj.
The Power of Mantras
Hinduism utilises a rich variety of mantras, such as 'Om', 'Hare Rama Hare Krishna', 'Om Tat Sat', and others. While some mantras may invoke specific deities or bring material benefits, the path to the Supreme Being is believed to be accessible through a specific mantra and not by the above mantras.
The Bhagavad Gita's Perspective
The Bhagavad Gita, a foundational text of Hinduism, offers guidance on the ideal mantra for spiritual liberation. Here are some key verses interpreted according video presented:
- Chapter 8, Verse 13: ‘Kaal God is saying that in that there is only one word Om/ॐ for me i.e. Brahm, which has to be chanted for doing sumiran. A devotee who while doing sumiran-sadhna unto last breath, gives up his body, he attains the supreme state i.e. salvation.’
- Chapter 7, Verse 18: Geeta knowledge giver, Brahm says that “Because in my opinion all these learned souls are noble, but that soul engrossed only in me is dependent only on my very bad salvation.”
- Chapter 4, Verses 5 & 9, Chapter 2, Verse 12: These verses discuss the cycle of rebirth of all beings, including Gita Narrator Brahm suggesting that liberation obtained solely through the 'Om' mantra is not the ultimate goal.
- Chapter 18, Verse 62: Geeta knowledge giver, Brahm says that 'O Bharat! You go to the shelter of that Supreme God in every respect. Only by the grace of that Supreme God (Purna Brahm), you will attain supreme peace i.e. will become completely liberated from birth and death and attain the Eternal Supreme Abode i.e. Satlok.
Interpretations and Debates
It's important to note that interpretations of scripture can vary across different Hindu denominations. The video presents verses suggesting that focusing solely on Supreme Brahm through the 'Om Tat Sat' mantra leads to liberation, while others fake gurus emphasise devotion through arbitrary mantras of other deities.
The Correct Chanting Mantra
Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj emphasises the importance of the 'Om Tat Sat' mantra for attaining the Supreme Being according to the teachings presented:
Chapter 17, Verse 23: "ॐ/Om mantra of Brahm, Tat - this is coded mantra of ParBrahm, Sat - this is coded mantra of Purna Brahm. In this way, there is direction of remembrance of three types of mantras of Purna Parmatma, and in the beginning of nature, based on that very Tatvgyan, the scholars created Vedas and yagya etc. They used to worship according to that."
Conclusion
The choice of mantra can be a significant aspect of one's spiritual journey. The Bhagavad Gita offers valuable insights, but the devotees interpret differently. The video concludes by advocating for the 'Om Tat Sat' mantra and guidance from Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj.
