Janana
From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia
By Swami Harshananda
Janana literally means ‘birth’.
The body of every living being is subject to sadvikāras or six kinds of changes. Janana or birth is the first among all of them. The word is also used for the extrication of the letters of a mantra through the mātṛkāyantra.
