This summer we are organising a simple get together in our garden to just sing. In the Light of Love – Deva Premal, Miten
Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu – Deva Premal Mantra’s and other music used during our yoga classes: One of my favorite mantras is Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu: may all beings be happy and free. To sit still in this silence is simply beautiful. It connects me to a deeper truth of who I am and to my connection with the Universe. Singing mantras also helps me to stay in the moment when thoughts come and my mind is drifting off. And our thoughts, emotions and situations are the waves: coming and going. Like the ocean with the waves coming and going. But something more than all of that, more expansive. Which is not my body, thoughts, emotions or the situations I am in. Who am Iįor me it feels like reminding myself who I really am. This results in more creativity, vitality and awakens your Kundalini energy as a natural consequence. Indirectly you stimulate the energy to flow through your body. By chanting, the tongue touches the roof of the mouth where the energy points lie, and these are connected to our energy lines and nervous system. They have specific vibrations that connect with the energy in your body and your energie field. Mantra’s are considered to be sacred and help you on your journey to awareness.
This is just one example of how to use mantra’s during the kriya. Breathing out and chanting Nam you move your head and upper part of your body to the right. For example while breathing in and chanting Sat, you move your head and upper part of the body to the left and look backwards over your shoulder (sitting in lotus position or easy pose). During inhaling, you internally chant “Sat” and during exhaling you chant “Nam”.īreathing in and out is related to moving the body. “Sat” means truth and “nam” means identity: my true identity is truth, I am Truth. A simple example is the use of “Sat Nam”. Sat Namĭuring the class, depending on which subject we address, and which part of the body we focus on, the Kundalini yoga provides a mantra that deepens your practise. Divine wisdom in me (Guru Dev), I greet you, I bow to you (Namo). The Adi mantra, Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo, freely translated means: Infinite creative consciousness (Ong) I greet you, I bow to you (Namo). It sets the energy of the class and is considered to be an important part of the Kundalini teaching. To get all of the awareness on one’s self, the body and the breath. We start every yoga lesson with the same mantra, the Adi mantra, that is always used in Kundalini yoga to tune into this moment. Mantra’s are written in Gurmukhi or Sanskrit, an old language from India that is no longer spoken. To chant a mantra helps you to silence the mind and enter the peace within.
“Man” means mind and “tra” means to free from: free your mind.
They are ancient, full of beauty and contain wisdom.
