Abhimantrit
Abhimantrit
means to make something holy, or workable by using Mantra. In this process
a thing is given a super power to do a certain task by taking water in
hand and reading Mantra; or by reading only Mantra. Most special weapons
are used like this - by taking an ordinary arrow, reading Mantra over it
and given special power to it. In this way water can also be Abhimantrit
to cure a disease.
In Hinduism normally all alms, Baayanaa, Shaap etc. are
Abhimantrit first. In the process of alms and Baayanaa (some food items
taken aside on festivals for elders) the things are kept
aside and a little water, sometimes with some money, is kept in right hand
and the thing is circled with that water three times. Then the thing
becomes Abhimantrit and it cannot be used by anybody else than the person
or purpose for whom and which it has been kept aside. For example,
Baayanaa is given to some higher status person (these status are defined),
and alms are given to Braahman or baggers or Dakaut (who accept alms for
Shani).
In the case of Shaap, people used to take water in their right
hand and utter some Mantra to give Shaap and sprinkle that water on the
person to whom they wanted to give Shaap.
