As you mentioned, feeling drawn to one deity among the 33 crores (types of divine beings) indicates a deep spiritual connection. For those born under the Mithuna (Gemini) zodiac sign, ruled by Mercury (Budh), developing intellectual abilities requires daily chanting of their Ishta Mantra:
“ॐ ह्रीं नमः” (Om Hreem Namah)
When you chant “Hreem” (H-R-E-E-M), you awaken the energy of your brain and balance Mercury in your life.
At the time of a Gemini native’s birth, the universal sound was “Ram”. This cosmic resonance is deeply connected to their zodiac. Similarly, when Gemini is formed in the sky, this sound is present in the universe.
Fragrances & Venus (Shukra)
Fragrances are associated with Venus (Shukra). Today, people use perfumes, but most contain alcohol, which negatively affects Shani (Saturn) and Shukra (Venus). To strengthen Venus, one should use natural fragrances (ittar) along with their Ishtha Mantra.
When Saturn is Angry…
If Saturn is displeased, no effort will yield results. That’s why Capricorn (Makar) and Aquarius (Kumbha) natives must live a disciplined life.
Why Are Mantras So Powerful?
Mantras are not just words—they awaken inner consciousness. Many believe that without a Guru’s initiation, one cannot chant certain mantras. But if you don’t have a Guru, today’s discussion will answer your questions.
This podcast will be extremely useful for every zodiac sign, as we discuss the Ishtha Mantras that enhance planetary strength and zodiac power.
What is a Mantra?
A mantra is a sound vibration that influences the mind. The universe resonates with two types of sounds:
- Sakshar (with syllables) – Words with letters.
- Nirakshar (without syllables) – Pure sound waves.
Letters form seed syllables (Beej Mantras), which combine into mantras, and groups of mantras create Mahamantras.
Definition of Mantra
- “Mananat Trayate Iti Mantra” – That which protects the mind is a mantra.
- “Mana” (Mind) + “Tra” (Protection) = Mantra
The mind is the foundation of our life. All thoughts, emotions, and actions originate from it. If we cannot control the mind, life becomes chaotic.
Scientific Perspective
The universe is filled with vibrations (alpha, beta, gamma, theta waves). Similarly, our minds also operate through these waves.
The Birth Sound & Ishtha Mantra
When a person is born, a unique cosmic sound resonates in the universe. NASA scientists have confirmed that the Sun continuously chants “Om”. Similarly, each planet emits a sound.
At the time of birth, the sound corresponding to the planetary alignment becomes the Ishtha Mantra for that individual.
Ishtha Deva & Past Life Connection
- “Ishtha” means “beneficial”—what is best for you.
- “Ishtha Deva” refers to the deity most favorable for you.
- This connection is not random but from past lives.
Just as relationships with parents, siblings, and spouses are karmic, so is the bond with your Ishtha Deva.
The 17-Life Connection
Every soul has connections spanning 17 lifetimes. The people you meet today are not coincidental—they are part of your past-life karmic cycle.
Mantra Sadhana vs. Siddhi
- Sadhana (Practice) – Can be done daily without initiation.
- Siddhi (Perfection) – Requires Guru’s guidance for deeper spiritual attainment.
