                                               Each Devta has a Dibayau Mantra specifically coined and sanctified in the context of that Devata's aura and it gives a description of the form.  Limb by limb ,in which that Devata is to be contemplated and adored in mental worship.  Mantras  can be listed in six broad divisions.  The six broad divisions are self -sanctified or vedic Beej.  Mantras, Ank Mantras , Akshar Mantras , Prayer Mantras, and Guru Mantras.  These divisions as already stressed are not exhaustive but they do cover a comprehensive range leaving elbowroom for specific adjustments.  The power of Mantras has been Universally recognised.  Call them incantations ,invocations, magic words or wordedwings, they have marked their presence in all modes of worship all over the world.  The great epic poet Tulsidas has rightly said that through mantra invocationone can control the divine dispensation.  How small does the mantra look and yet the great Trinity Brahama, Vishnu and mahesha ,and all divine powers are under the spellof mantras.  Does't the little Ankush-Control the mightiest of the elephant even when the heat Code words, monosyllables, mutterings and  lispings can get transformed into all -powerful weapons when charged with the spiritual  current.  When certain words, lines, skutas, richas or slokas are used in divine invocations of sublime nature the get sanctified in the all time-context.  Millenniums after Millenniums they march deathless making  every thing purified that comes in their touch.  These are vedic mantras,the richas of Rigu,Yajana.  Atharva and Sama-they need no accompanying rituals and the reallysincere inward recitation of them can bring about divine goals within one's reach.  There are self sanctified mantras.  Gayatri Mantra is one such mantra which is all coprehensive and is capable of fullfiling any and all desires of a true sadhaka.  It is said that a hundred thousand recitations of Gayatri  and properly conducted sacrificial fire can lead to liberation from all bondages.  There are hundreds of other veda -cults that can be effectively used in different situations of adverse nature such as fighiting a diesease or an enemy. In realization of the faculties of positive nature such as talent , creativity and future sightedness too these self-realized mantras are of immense help.  Beej mantras are mysterious changes that act like missliles on fixed targets.  Siva the supreme is the creator,the nourisher and the destroyer.  As a destroyer he becomes Rudra and sets in motion the cosmic dance of deluge and then in moments of perfect abadon takes up his drumlet-Damru-and whirls it ding -dong,  It is said that fourteen basic sounds-sutras-came out of the whirling purcussion instrument and these fourteen sutra developed in the basis of Sanskrit grammar, The great panini unlocked the mysteries of language with the help of these sound keyes and all languages of Aryan origin owe their evolution to these sutras.  But the sutras-the principal sound vibrations-have greater mysteries attached  to them and they contain the seeds of supreme knowledge.  They are codes and require more than ordinary spiritual insight to look into their true meanings.  The thirty three letters of Devnagari starting from Anga and running upto *are electronic nodes and have endless combination possibilities. Punctuated with nasal emphasis on different variations of vowel Anga these thirty letters can send messages and establish telepathic  comunications with the operating agencies in the universe.  The potencies of these letters have to be realized and that is why Beej Mantras are dangerous in the case of being indiscriminately used.  All of us who have read the records of manned and unmanned travel to space vehicles in the eighties and nineties of the present century know that strange signals are emanating from distant sources in the space.  These signals have been picked up on certain wave lenths but no one till today knows what they stand for. There is no doubt that certain highly intelligent super-operative forces are making efforts to establish contacts with man on the planet earth but the signals are mysterious and defy de-condification.  It should be kept in mind that the signal that man has so far been able to tap though not able to understand form a negligible fraction of the totality of signals in the universe. Beeja Mantras is also trueof Anka  mantras.  Each diety is said to have existential dimensions that can be brought in contact with specific groupings of numericals.  These groupings are prefixed by Anga and suffixed by Anga I bow to thee in utter huminity.  These groupings severally run in odd numbers such as three, five or seven and are supposed to be off full effect only when they are repeated with a set rhythm in a time number frame schedule.  The purity of mind and the cleanliness of surroundings are the additional factors for sure results. A rosary, a deer-skin soread, a cooper jug full of pure water and a regulated breath are other requirements but can be substituted and are not indispensable.  What is a must is total faith and an attitude of nonexpectation.  Akshar Mantras too are set according to the nature of deities just as in the world of man so in the world of   super-sensuous beings individualities have their specific projections.  A diety  may have preference for three , another for thirty three and yet another for thirty six and so forth and so on.  The invocatory mantra of goddess Bagla Mukhi-another popular name for Bharavi Chhinna Masta is in the string sets of thirty six letters and the number thirty six can run into the unit of thousands and lakhs.  The sanctity of thirty six has always to be maintained.  Such practices, obviously , seem to have come in vogue to give specific stresses to certaindeities in specific regions and might be ascribed to a large extent to the caprices of Tantra Gurus.  It is also possible that they may have been adopted  to generate greater faith and a fallacy of individualised attention by Tantra Circles. All prayers are invocatory in nature.
