Kundalini Yoga Blogs

Early stories of the Ramayana show yogis and ascetics performing penances and kryas for thousands of years. As  astrology evolves and the ages turn, the level of difficulty increases. It becomes harder to practice disciplines.

This age or yuga is known as the Iron Age or Kali Yuga.  It’s the age of electronic interference and chemical poisoning. We have little control over our nervous impulses and desires. Beginning or strengthening a spiritual practice now, under these conditions, will yield tremendous rewards.

There are three stages in the development of a meditation practice.

• The first stage is education, getting to know yourself. Meditation requires discipline and commitment. The body does not want to be still and the mind can rationalize its way out of anything. We favor using mantra with meditation to increase our vibration.
• Phase two begins the control of the emotions. Our spiritual path names Lust, Anger, Greed, Pride and Attachment as obstacles to meditation. Sitting with a non-judgemental mind begins to release these obstacles.
• Phase three turns meditation into a cleansing machine. This is the stage where you are able to release the emotions, it is the end of the reactive mind and the beginning of FREEDOM.

We prefer to add mantra to our meditation. This Kundalini Yoga style was taught to us by Yogi Bhajan.

Mantras are sacred phrases, repeated as a prayer. They are incorporated in meditation, repeated on rosary beads and and malas of many Faiths. Most spiritual traditions have the practice of repeating a prayer. The Christians use “Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on me a sinner.” Hindus have numerous mantras for example, “Hare Rama Hari Krishna, Om Namo Narayani” etc.

Are you ready to begin a practice or kick up your current discipline?
Here are some of the top Kundalini Yoga Mantras:

1. Adi Shakti Mantra

Ek Ong Kar Sat Nam Siri Wahe Guru (Pronounced: ‘Sat’ sounds like ‘but’. ‘Wa – Hay – Goo – Roo’. The ‘R’ in Roo is spoken with the tongue tapping the roof of the mouth, almost a ‘D’ sound.)

There is one Creator who has created this creation, truth is *His name, great and indescribable is *His wisdom.

*This path does not see God as either man or woman. His, is used from the original translation from Gurmukhi.

This eight-fold seed mantra stimulates and balances the brain. Each sound vibrates a different chakra. “If you chant this mantra it will open the lock of ignorance and darkness.”

2. Guru Ram Das Mantra

Guru Guru Wahe Guru, Guru Ram Das Guru

My husband (Kirpal) had an interesting translation; The Servant of God brings the light of the Infinite to the Earth.

This video shows Snatam Kaur chanting this mantra.

3. Sat Nam

Sa Ta Na Ma

This seed mantra is used the most in the practice of Kundalini Yoga. It is the primal sounds of creation. It literally means Truth is God’s Name. According to the Sadhana Guideline Manual, “this mantra can be used to smooth out and balance mental energy.”

4. Mantra of Ecstasy

Wahe Guru

This mantra is our personal favorite. It was developed by Guru Gobind Singh of 18th Century India. He designed it to be especially effective in our current times. Wha is bliss, He -means Hari or God’s name, and the Guru is the one that carries you from darkness to light. This mantra produces happiness.

5. Saruba Shakti Mantra

Gobinday Mukanday Udaray Aparay, Haring Karing Nirnamay Akamay

This mantra eliminates karmic blocks and curses from the past. The Sadhana Manuual says that regular practice will cause all of the occult powers to serve you.

It was developed by Guru Gobind Singh. In thinking of past memories, any time Yogi Bhajan had us meditate with this mantra, I knew it was going to be a long, painful meditation, LOL!

Maha Mantra of the Aquarian Age:

Keep up and you will be kept up!

Yogi Bhajan

Chant the name and wake up!
