[QUOTE=Suhas Tambe;69067]I don’t know of the particular mantra you have quoted. But if you look at the meaning (example - Sa means birth etc.) do you really think you can scramble it? Birth- Lfe- Death- Rebirth is a natural sequence.
I will share my little knowledge about mantras. First, it is in Sanskrit, a language used for thousands of years. Most anglo-european languages and their mother languages were born when Sanskrit was in full flourish. No surprise that you find similarities between Sanskrit and Russian.
Not every sentence in Sanskrit is a mantra. Mantras are inspired expressions usually in highly meditative state. Each mantra is such a superlative creation that it is simultaneously a meaningful statement, a rhythmic phonetic expression and a powerful vibrational trigger usually targeted at some specific result expressed in the statement. What is not known to many English-speakers is the pronunciation notations that go with a matra (like a music sheet). Each syllable in a mantra is to be recited in a particular octave and for a given brief or long moment. A teacher would also give an image with a mantra to meditate on while reciting the mantra.
Given all these dimensions and the creative ability of the creator of the mantra, trying to change even a small bit is an adventure one would dread.[/QUOTE]
I mostly asked whether it was possible because I was originally under the impression that the meaning of a particular mantra or the order of it is just the icing on the cake that mainly consists of actual sound manipulations which directs the energies using each syllable or fragment.
If the mantras are indeed flawless up to the point of baring meaning even without the conscious understanding, then I definitely understand that tweaking them would be a very bad idea.
I would certainly not want to create a possibly damaging cacophony out of the originally benevolent mantras, although the question still stands about the first three fragments meaning satan literally in Russian or Hebrew (as CityMonk mentioned.)
One of the possible theories that I had about the matter is related to possible intentional abuse or bastardizing of the mantra. Due to a large quantity of main religions being abusive and or oppressive, perhaps the word was deliberately created to prevent people from using a very core mantra while taking out the last fragment to make it incomplete and useless (while deterring people from the complete version)?
SA TA NA without the last fragment not only destroys the mantra (according to Suhas) but also means Birth Life Death without the rebirth, also making the meaning very abrupt and even cynical.
I think it is perfectly possible that it may be an intentional blockage.
