WHAT IS ĀTMA BĪJA AND SIDDHI MANTRA?

Siddhi means accomplishment, fulfilment. It also means prosperity, personal success, fortune,

good luck, advantage, supreme felicity, bliss, beatitude and complete sanctification. Siddhi

mantra is derived from birth chart (D20). 5th house Lord of and 9th house Lord of D 20 chart is

taken into account while formulating siddhi mantra. There is no nyāsa for this mantra and needs

no initiation. This mantra will be on testing mode to find out its suitability. This mantra should

be recited as many times as possible for the first 10 days. If the mantra suits well, then it should

cause infantile Bliss, some inexplicable happiness. If this is experienced, it means that the

mantra suits you well.

If the mantra suits well, it acts as a catalyst to the main mantra. All other mantras are to be

encased (sampuṭīkaraṇa) between siddhi mantra at the beginning and at the end. It is advisable

to chant siddhi mantra for a minimum of 24 times in the beginning and 24 times at the end of

all other mantra japas.

Ātma bīja (seed of the soul) is derived from the commonly called name in combination with

planets placed in the birth chart. Various factors go into deriving ātma bīja. The ātma bīja which

is thus derived is placed in the siddhi mantra next to ॐ (om) and hence ātma bīja need not be

recited separately. In certain mantras, ātma bīja is also placed as part of the main mantra and

in the case of all other mantras, they are to be encased with recitation of siddhi mantra at the

beginning and at the end.

Proper recitation of siddhi mantra, with ātma bīja placed next to ॐ, should cause subtle bliss

in the form of inexplicable happiness. This experience confirms the suitability of both the

siddhi mantra and ātma bīja.

Example:

Let us assume one’s ātma bīja is derived as ह्रीं hrīṁ. Let us also assume that his/her 5th and 9th

houses of D20 chart are ruled by Shiva and Lakshmi. His or her siddhi mantra would be

ॐ ह्रीं श्रीं नमःशिवाय॥ om hrīṁ śrīṁ namaḥśivāya ||

It can be seen that his or her ātma bīja ह्रीं hrīṁ is placed next to ॐ. His/her ninth house Lord of

D20 chart is Shiva, whose mantra is namaḥśivāya and 9th house Lord Lakshmi is represented

by Her bīja श्रीं śrīṁ.
