a MANTRA for light, truth and peace

Asato Mā Sadgamaya

 

Oṁ asato mā sadgamaya
tamasomā jyotir gamaya
mrityormāamritam gamaya
Oṁ śhānti śhānti śhāntiḥ

 

Om
Lead me from the unreal to the real
Lead me from darkness to light
Lead me from death to immortality
Om, peace, peace, peace

 

This mantra is found in the album MANGALAM by Manish Vyas | spotify

 

An ancient Indian mantra from the Bṛhadāraṇyaka Upaniṣad. It is not a prayer for the things of the world; it is not a prayer for food, shelter, health, partnership, riches, success, fame, glory or even for heaven. One who recites this mantra has realized that such things are full of holes, and will forever leave us unsatisfied. When speaking about the ultimate reality, Sages say it is of the nature of sat-chit-ananda: pure existence, pure consciousness and pure bliss.

Is it good to devote some time to stay healthy?

 

"It is difficult to do sādhana if the body is not in good condition. Hatha yoga is one way of staying healthy. Bhagavan (Ramana) used to say, however, that of all the different āsanās, nidhidhyāsanā is the best. He would then add that nidhidhyāsanā means abidance in the Self.

 

"Don’t pay too much attention to the body. If you worry about the well-being of your body, you identify with it more and more. Look at it as a useful vehicle: maintain it, fuel it properly and repair if it breaks down, but don’t become attached to it. If you can keep your attention on the Self without being distracted by unpleasant bodily sensations, you are healthy enough to do sādhana. If you do your meditation earnestly and continuously you will begin to find that health problems will not distract you. When your abidance in the Self is firm and strong, you cease to be aware of the body and its pains.

 

"We must take care of the body by giving it food, shelter and clothing. This is necessary because the journey to the Self is only easy when the body is healthy. If a ship is not in need of repair, if it is in good condition, we can easily use it to go on a journey. But we should not forget the purpose for which we have been given this body." Annamalai Swami

healing ragas : the instrumental collection

Indian music is based on Ragas, and a given raga can have various effects. Ragas have a certain specific rasa (mood) which has an impact to the listener in different ways. The emotional effect of raga is determined by the frequencies of the notes that form the tune and on its jiva swaras and nyasa swaras. Indian ragas are suitable for emotional healing in conditions such as anxiety and stress, and induce a state of meditativeness and calmness. 

There are 4 albums, of one hour each (mp3, bandcamp, spotify, itunes, youtube, etc.)

  • Healing Ragas (Manish Vyas, Bikramjit Singh)

  • Healing Ragas II (Manish Vyas, Bikramjit Singh)

  • Healing Ragas III (Manish Vyas, Milind Date)

  • Moonlight Ragas (Manish Vyas, Bikramjit Singh)

podcast: conscious paths

podcast | Manish Vyas

The true yogis are wise ones, who many times never practiced poses except sukhasana, but who are stable in the inner world, who have achieved the state of non duality, beyond any identifications. And this is the true Yoga.

Vasant Panchami this year on 26 January. It's an auspicious festival in India, celebrated to mark the preparation for the arrival of spring. The festival is celebrated across India on the fifth day of our month of Magha, Shukla Paksha. It is a day also dedicated to Saraswati, the Goddess of knowledge, music, learning, arts. On this day, you will find women in traditional yellow saris offering flowers, children participating in cultural programs and families sharing prasad.

 

Springtime is considered by many as the queen of all seasons, an auspicious time to start new things. We believe that Saraswati was born on this day and that's why it is also referred to as Saraswati Jayanti.

master talks: about depression

 

"Let depression do what it wants to do, and the moment you accept it, you are so big, that depression is nothing before it." Gurudev

 

 

"There is no point worrying about the outer events of your life because you can exercise no control over these destined activities. Your responsibility in this life is to see who you are, not to rewrite your life script." Annamalai Swami
