hayagriva mantram

From the Bhakti List Archives

Pradeep Janakiraman • October 9, 2002 


Continuing with the discussions on the Hayagriva mantram, I would 
like to know if the actual mantram itself is available with someone ? 

I have been reading several articles on the net about the greatness 
of the mantram and who have chanted it etc. 

If someone can actually pass on the actual mantram itself it would be 
great. I have heard that it is quite a long one, longer than the 
Gayatri which has 24-syllables.

[ Pardon me for interjecting, but the Hayagriva Mantra and others
  like it are only to be received through upadesa from a mantra-siddha
  purusha.  Even for the Gayatri Mantra, the father or guru should
  have a store of 100,000 or so Gayatris (I forget the exact count)
  before he imparts the mantra during upanayanam to the child. [This
  was mentioned by Sri Tirukkudandai Andavan Swami in the course of
  a discourse on Srimad Ramayana.] What to say of a special mantra
  like the Hayagriva Mantra! -- Mani ]
