MANTRA: Eck Ong Kar

This excerpt is taken from Gabby Bernstein to provide some guidelines on chanting this mantra

WARNING:
This mantra is the only Kundalini mantra that comes with a warning.  This is such a powerful and creative mantra that you must watch your thoughts and actions after you chant it.  You will be in such a state of manifestation, that your thoughts will accelerate into being.  Luckily, the energy within the mantra itself will help you switch your thoughts to the positive.  It takes your own negative thought, stops it in its tracks and reverses it into positivity. A thought rides into your consciousness to be processed with “Ek Ong Kar Sat Gur Prasad,” and comes out pure with, “Sat Gur Prasad Ek Ong Kar.”

Any time you research a mantra be sure to understand all the recommended “warnings” and read the fine print.

The Guyatri Mantra is such a revered mantra, that is was actually only revealed to the Western World within the last hhalf-century   Chanting the Guyatri mantra will probably take you about 3 hours a day if you want to do it 108 times.   According to the source above, you can even chant it three times, three times a day, to break the bonds of karma or wrong doing created during the day.

MANTRA: Om Ganapataha Namaham

This is a powerful mantra to Lord Ganesha, son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvathi.  He is said to be the remover of obstacles, and chanting this mantra is said to help you remove obstacles from your path too.  Make sure you know WHAT obstacles you want to remove before you begin.

CHANT:

  • Namaha – translates as ”to honor” or ”to salute.”

You can practice this every day for 40 days as part of a dedicated mantra practice.
