It makes sense to me that when we use a mantra that deals with a specific planet, we are invoking the energy from said planet. And I think the mantra's we use have to deal with the noises the planet's make, for example: The Sun is said to make an "Aum" sound My sourceExternal ↗ . (I didn't bother reading all of it but I mainly was interested in the Planet's noise bit)
So that makes me wonder why we don't have an earth square, unless we do in a way and that would be the moon?
Also, what are the mantra's saying for the planet squares? I noticed all of them start with Aum, then the Sun has this:
HRAAM HRIM HRAUM SAU SURYAE
Moon:
ŞRAAM ŞRIM ŞRAUM SAU CHANDRAMASE
Mercury:
BRAAM BRIM BRAUM SAU BUDHAAYA
Venus:
DRAAM DRIM DRAUM SAU SHUKRAYA
Mars:
KRAAM KRIM KRAUM SAU BHAUMAYA
Jupiter:
GRAAM GRIM GRAUM SAU GURUAVE
Saturn:
PRAAM PRIM PRAUM SAU SHANISWARA
Finally, at the end of each mantras we have Nama or Svaha. Nama being Material/earthly affairs and Svaha being spiritual affairs.
Then, if one is doing the shortcut mantras you just cut out everything but Aum then the "Important word" and Svaha/Nama.
So that tells me the last word before Nama/Svaha has to deal with the planet itself. Is it a god's name? Also, the letters that are highlighted that differ from each other mantra, yet all share the same word - why? Are the sounds stimulating the respective chakra? And are "Raam Rim Raum Sau" just power words?
