11. Mantra Upadeam

1. Tirumantra
om namo nryaya
I am an eternal spirit Self (Jiva) of atomic size consisting of consciousness [jana] and bliss [ananda].
I am different from the physical body and organs (Indriyas), and am the Eternal Servant of God,
(Sriman Narayana) who is the single cause of the projection, sustentation and transformation of the

61
entire Cosmos. He is the Eternal and Undisputed Master of the entire universe. I surrender myself
completely to and transfer the burden of my liberation to Sriman Narayana. I pray for the boon of
eternal service [kainkaryam] to Sriman Narayana.

2. Dvaya Mantra.
rman nryaa caraau araam prapadye |
rmate nryaya nama ||
I take refuge in the feet of Sriman Narayana, I salute Mother Laksmi the Mediatrix of all Grace
together with the Supreme Lord. In order to attain eternal servitude to the Lord I perform the act of
Prapatti (Surrender) along with its 5 components, and through the mediation and intercession of the
Immaculate Divine Mother who is the embodiment of all virtue and compassion I pray that I may
attain the Grace of the Lord.

3. Carama loka
sarva dharmam parityajya mm-ekam-araam vraja |
aham tv sarva ppebhyo mokayiymi m uca ||
The world DHARMA means, Karma, Jana and Bhakti Yogas, which are described in Bhagavad Gita.
So the meaning is:

"Abandon all self-initiated means dependant upon your own efforts, for obtaining liberation, take
refuge in ME alone. I (Krishna) am fully Independent and omnipotent and will redeem you from all
Karma, and grant you Liberation, all you have to do is entrust the full burden of safeguarding your
Jiva [Atma] to ME, and so do not grieve."

12. Yg
! If possible an icon should be presented to the prapanna and, if practicable, he should be taught
the proper method of worshipping it. If this is not possible he should preferably be presented in
a temple and should offer the following supplication to the Lord.

Prayer For Refuge

Lakm Tantra 28; 11- 16

pratiklya parityaktam anuklya ca saritam |

may sarveu bhteu yath akti yath matim || 1 ||
lasasylpaakteca yathvacc vijnata |
upy kriyamste naiva syus trak mama || 2 ||
All these, O Consort of Lakshmi; I offer at thy feet along with myself. O My Lord, God-of-gods and
Beloved of-Lakshmi, be Thou my saviour.
This I know, is the proclaimation of all doctrines (siddhanta) and Upanishads. Whatever I possess
that is difficult to renounce such as spouse, progeny, or activities etc.
Therefore I am dejected and poor in spirit, without solace and utterly destitute. Krishna along with
Lakshmi, the very embodiment of compassion, is my protector.
Since I am lazy, of limited capacity, and ignorant about the nature of things, I fully acknowledge that
whatever self-initiated means (I choose to adopt), they can never (be adequate to ) liberate me from
Samsara.
I now reject all feelings of antipathy and hostility and have adopted an attitude of friendliness
towards all sentient beings to the extent that my ability and mental capacity permit.
