This is outrageous! Do you suppose that's because the gods are armed to the teeth and some people want to protect themselves? For example, Vishnu carries a large discus called a Sudarshan which, when thrown, can slice off your head or your leg. It's kind of like a shuriken in Kung Fu. So, it's not surprising that people would imagine such a thing as a 'magic astral weapon word' in which to fend off the spirit world. It makes sense to defend yourself, I guess. But, if OM could make a person rich, why do you suppose they would need a protection bija to go along with it, when they could just as easily afford their own army. Phat!: (pronounced 'fot') phoneme; Buddhist Hybrid-Sanskrit; causative verb? 1. Crack! 2. Snap! 3. Pop! 4. Meaningless sound. 5. Gibberish. 6. Bija mantra - sometimes referred to as the weapon mantra also, in that, it destroys obstacles. 7. Sound of a two-stroked motor vehicle seen all over Delhi.
