Navarna Mantra

Om Aim Hrim Klim Camundayai Vicce

Homage to Camunda

Aim expresses the harmony of pure energy, luminosity and infinite beauty, pure love and intelligence, knowledge and infinite joy.

Hrim expresses infinite energy, which is also called Prana. The repetition of the mantra invokes that force to be present in us in the form of interior dynamism and intensifies our courage to be.

Klim expresses desire. Among all the desires in our life, some are legitimate and others illegitimate. Which belong to reality? Illegitimate desires often overwhelm us and it can be seen that they lead us into to all sorts of difficulties, suffering. Klim expresses legitimate desire, and by the repetition of the mantra, that is to say, by the repetition of that vibration, which is one force, legitimate desires are fulfilled: we live well and happily.

Camundayai Vicce expresses egocentrism or egoism which is eliminated in a very special way by the repetition of the mantra. 
 
The Navarna mantra, or mantra of nine syllables, is well known in the south of India and especially at Mysore where the presiding deity is Camunda. It is an invocation to Adhi-Sakti who is perceived as the sum of the energies (Sakti) of Saraswati, Lakshmi and Kali. Camunda is one of the names of Adhi-Sakti. Her equivalent in the North of India is Durga. The mantra finishes with an introjection of Vedic homage - Viccai which has the same meaning as Swaha. In Viccai there are three parts which are equivalent to the three Bijas or seed mantras:

Aim - Mahasaraswati - vi 
Hrim - Mahalakshmi - c 
Klim - Mahakali - e
