But TM bija mantras have no semantic meaning - none
can be found in a standard Sanskrit lexicon.
Mine does. I have a four word mantra. The first two words are
Sanskrit words used to denote respect and the last word is a
Sanskrit word meaning "to bow down".
Just a correction. You are correct in that "namah" literally means
"to bow down", but in mantra-speak "namah" means "not mine". It's a
contraction, a shorter way of saying "na mama".
And what is the implication of this? Relinquishing ownership?
Surrendering the "I", the "Me", the "Mine, the I-am making.
"Surrendering separation". Drop -> Ocean within -> the Universal One.
The implication being ya gotta dump the ego; 'not mine, but thine'
some might say.
Of course the bijas all have very precise meanings as well.
