Power of Mantra: Hari Om
A mantra is a combination of sacred syllables that forms a nucleus of spiritual energy. Mantras are words of power that have been chanted or recited for thousands of years by seekers longing to reach the Divine. In Sanskrit, mantra means “the thought that liberates and protects.”
Mantra Yoga is a tool for the development of an individual, and will help restore energy and aid in healing and relaxation. Concentration is cultivated, which brings a deep sense of peace and joy, as often arises with other forms of meditation. The goal of Mantra Yoga, as with all yogas, is the unity of individual consciousness with Cosmic Consciousness.
We use a number of different mantras at the Ashram including Hari Om and Om Namah Sivaya. Mantra is incorporated into many of our practices, such as Hatha Yoga and daily reflection. Many people have a personal mantra practice, mantra plays in the background of many of our spaces, and we also chant mantra every night at satsang.
