about

The mantra here is a co-mingled partnership between Ganapati and his brother Subrahmanya. While many mantras are devoted to a singular form or aspect of the Divine, the Rajanaka tradition seeks opportunities to engage in sammelena, or combinatory practice. The partnership here includes the sons of Shiva and also their consorts. The bijas GLIM GLAUM and GAM belong to Hri, Pushti and Ganapati respectively. SAUM and SVAUM are assigned to the consorts of Subrahmanya, Valli and Deviyani. Subrahmanya himself is not assigned a bija in this particular sammelena but is rather hidden in the six spaces between and surrounding the five primary bijas. In tantric lore, this lesser known son of Shiva is often found lurking out of sight, purposely hidden in a thicket of reeds. He is strongly associated with the number six being one of the only deities to wear six faces.
