Jai Shri Hari Swami ji and Lovely members,
This is part 3 of Navdurga Sahdana. While i don’t know the meaning of mantra but i found Mudra’s and its meaning in Ancient Science of Mantra book and Sadhana App Linkdin profile.
Invoking the Deity
Step 24: Supplication
Mantra: Atam sanstham majam shudham twamaham parmeshwarim aranyamev bhavyan sham mudtav awahmayham deveshi bhakti sulbhe pariwar samanvite yavatvam pujyashyami tav devi iha vasse
Mudra(Avahani) – Place your thumb at the root of your little fingers and join your hands together.
Mudra Meaning: You recognize that this energy exists and is dear to you and you want to connect with your individual energy.
Now, It’s the divinity and you, as you chant your prayers.
Nothing else remains.
Nothing else matters

Step 25: Establishment
Mantra: om bhur bhuvah swah shri jagadambaye iha gach iha tisth . Twayam mahima murtistsyam twam swraga prabho bhakti sneh samakrisht deepvat sthapyamham
Mudra(Stahpana) – Place your thumbs at the root of your little fingers, turn them towards the ground and open the palms
Mudra Meaning: offering-a-seat-to-the-deity
Now, the deity has established itself in our energy field. Seated in front of us, we are ready to begin our prayers.

Mudra(Sanidhapan) – make a fist with each hand, join those two fists together and raise the thumbs.

Step 27: Immobilization
Om bhur bhuv swah shri jagadambaye iha sanidehi agya tav deveshi kripam budhe gunaam budhe atamnandey triptam twam sarvbandhi maheshwari
Mudra(Sannirodhini) – tuck in your thumbs in their respective fists and turn these fists overs
Mudra Meaning: This is done to gratefully address your deity. Your deity has arrived in your world, express your happiness at this.
Step 28: Contouring:
Mantra: Om bhur bhuv swah shri jagadambaye iha sanirodhya agyanad durumanstatva va kalyan sadhansyacha yat purnam bathekrityam tdatya abhimukho bhavah
Mudra(Sammukhikarana) – tuck in your thumbs in their respective fists and turn these fists downwards
Mudra Meaning: Sammukhikarana is an act of mentally presenting various offerings to our deity by visualization.

Step 29: Veiling
Mantra: Om bhur bhuv swah shri jagadambaye iha samukho bhavah abhakvang manashchakshuh shrotrduratidighte swatejah panchrenashu vyashchito bhav sarvatah
Mudra(Avgunthana) – Make a fist with your left hand while keeping the left index finger out and pointing it at the ground and turning the index finger anti clockwise
Mudra Meaning: Now that you are infused with the energy of your deity, you want to cover it so you may do your sadhana and build up this energy in you.
Talking about your sadhana wastes your energy and in mantra science its all about preservation and channelizing your energy.
Step 30: Public Welcome:
Mantra: Om bhur bhuv swah shri jagadambaye avguntito bhavah yasay darshanam ichantidevah swabhishth sidhe tasme te parmeshaye swagatam swagatam chame. Om bhur bhuv swah shri jagadambaye suswagatam smarpyami
Mudra(Swagatam/Dhenu/Amaratikaran): To perform this mudra, we bring our palms together. The tip of the right index finger should touch the tip of the left middle finger and vice versa. The tip on the right ring finger should touch the tip of the left little finger and vice versa. Join both thumbs at their tips. Point it downwards.
Mudra Meaning: Smoothen the process of energy transfer. When you invoke the deity, bring him into your world, establish his energy in yours, initially this can cause ripples in your consciousness. Those ripples could be in the form of suppressed and negative emotions, or feelings of fear, despair or ego. This is one of the important step.

Step 31: Seat Offering
Mantra: Om sarv antaryamini devi sarv beej mahe shubhe swatma sthaye param shudham asnam kalpamyham. Om bhur bhuv swah shri jagadambaye asnam samarpyami
Mudra: Open your hands and face them upwards
Mudra Meaning: offering seat
Step 32: Greeting
Swagatam dev devesh mad bhagyatan iha gatah prakritam tum dhrista Maa balvat paripalyah
Om Bhur bhavah swah shri jagadambaye namah shri prarthnam samarpyami namaskaromi
Mudra(Sakalikaran/Namaste): Join your palms next to your heart in the posture of namaste
Mudra Meaning: This is the act of merging your energy in the energy of the deity so you become one.
