Commonly Used Mantras in Kundalini Yoga Commonly used mantras in Kundalini Yoga Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo I bow to the creative wisdom. I bow to the divine teacher within. It allows us to tune into the higher self and is traditionally chanted x3 at the start of any Kundalini practice. Aad Guray Nameh Jugaad Guray Nameh Sat Guray Nameh Siri Guru Dev Ay Nameh Known as the protective mangala. I bow to the Primal Guru I bow to the Eternal Truth I bow to the True Wisdom I bow to Great Divine Wisdom. This mantra clears away doubt in the mind and opens us to guidance as it surrounds the magnetic field (aura) with protective light. The mantra is used in meditation and often at the start of any Kundalini practice after Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo. Satnam Sat – Truth Naam – Identity (truth is my name/identity) This mantra is used to close the Kundalini practice and is one of the most commonly used Mantras. It is often used as a greeting. It is also used to focus the mind and create rhythm in the breath by chanting Sat (inhale) by pulling the naval in and up powerfully and releasing on Nam (exhale) for example as used in Sat Kriya. It is good for shifting your energy, removing energy blocks and invoking inspiration. Sa Ta Na Ma This mantra represents the continuous cycle of life and creation. When practising this mantra meditation through the mudras it creates emotional balance and increases intuition bringing a sense of calm and a strong sense of self and strengthening the aura. This type of meditation is known as the Kirtan Kriya. Saah – infinity (thumb & index finger – Gyan Mudra for knowledge) Taah – life (thumb an middle finger – Shuni Mudra for patience) Naah – death (thumb and ring finger – surya mudra for vitality) Maah – rebirth (thumb and little finger – buddhi mudra for communication) Ra Ma Da Sa So Say Hung The sounds of this mantra stimulates the Kundalini energy and activates the neutral mind and is often used in meditations to alleviate anxiety and for healing such as the Siri Gaitri Mantra Meditation placing the elbows against the ribs, extending the forearms out away from the body with the palms facing upwards and flat with the fingers together and the thumbs outwards. For healing meditations, it is recommended to say a blessing on completion for someone who needs healing (including yourself) and visualise this person as happy, healthy and strong. End by shaking out the arms and sit in silence and stillness for a few minutes. Raah – represents the sun – energising and purifying energy Maah – represents the moon – cooling, calming nurturing energy Daah – denotes the earth – grounding energy Saah – infinity Say So Hung – represents merging with the infinite Sat Kar Tar (pro: Sat Kaar Taar) Meaning Manifestor of the Truth. This mantra is used in meditations for the heart chakra, welcoming love, friendships and compassion, self love, alleviating fears and doubt and bringing in new possibilities and connections. Sat – hands at prayer pose at the heart chakra Kaar – extend hands out laterally half way from the shoulders Taar – extend arms out in full laterally away from the shoulders, parallel to the floor with palms outward facing – fingers pointing upwards. Har This mantra represents the creative aspect of infinity. To pronounce this mantra, pull the naval in and roll the tongue on the letter R striking your tongue on the roof of the mouth to create a vibration and stimulate the hypothalmus gland for a neutral and meditative mind. Har Haree Haree Wahe Guru (Pro: har har-ray ha-ree wah hey goo roo) This mantra opens the flow of prosperity and abundance of life, allowing you to be open to the flow of health, wealth, happiness and anything you desire. Removing any mental blocks and bringing clarity and reassurance. Guru Guru Wahe Guru (Pro: goo roo goo roo wah hey goo roo) Guru Ram Daas Guru (Pro: goo roo ram daas goo room) This mantra represents the spiritual guidance and protection. Wahe Guru (Pro: Wah Hey Goo Roo) This mantra represents the infinite wisdom of moving from the darkness into the light, from ignorance to understanding. Using this mantra with meditations for a fresh start allows you release negative thoughts and blockages from your true fulfilment and identity and increase your intuition. It is a mantra to alleviate anxiety, unhappiness, loneliness, doubt, fear and confusion. It is a powerful mantra and is often used during kriyas as well as breathwork and meditations. Practising this mantra with meditation daily will help to gain control over your mind to find a place of balance, peace and joy – cutting through the darkness and into the light. This mantra is also often used in the same way that Inshallah is used in the arabic language: meaning so it shall be / as you say it, so it is so / God willing and as a standalone blessing. Ong Although not normally used as a mantra on its own, Ong is often at the start or included in many Kundalini mantra/meditations such as Ek Ong Kar. Ong - Meaning Creator – doer of all action. Ong makes things happen, the creative force of life. Ong represents our creative path and connects us to the eternal sound of the universe. The sound should be vibrated in nasal passages and the centre of the head at the third eye chakra and should be felt in the lower chakra triangle. It has the power to manifest our dreams, as such, sound is spiritual and the vibration of sound connects with the universal energy and the reason why mantra is an essential part of Kundalini practice. Tune out Blessing - Long Time Sun This blessing is sang at the end of a class before tuning out. May the log time sun shine upon you All love surround you And the pure light within you Guide your way on..

  • The Physio-Kundalini Syndrome and Mental Illness
    THE PHYSIO-KUNDALINI SYNDROME AND MENTAL ILLNESS Bruce Greyson Farmington,Connecticut In Eastern spiritual traditions, the biological mechanism of both individual enlightenment and evolution of the species toward higher consciousness is called kundalini, a potential force that once awakened can .produce a variety of mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual effects. The ancient yogic texts described a life energy present in all living beings called prana. Kundalini was described as a normally dormant mechanism or organizing principle that could be activated or awakened under certain conditions, to a strengthen or purify an individual's prana, transforming its effects normally upon the individual. dormant mechanism Kundalini has been held responsible for life itself (Krishna, 1972), or the sexual drive, creativity, genius, longevity, and vigor (Krishna, organizing 1975), and our evolution toward an ultimate, magnificent state of principle consciousness (Krishna, 1974b). The dormant kundalini is said to be situated at the base of the spine (Muktananda, 1974;Kason et al., 1993), and when aroused can travel upwards along the spinal cord to the brain, where it can stimulate a dormant chamber of the brain (the brahma randhra),leading to biological transformation and inunensely expanded perception (Krishna, 1972, 1975). THE PHYSIO-KUNDALINI SYNDROME Itzhak Bentov (1977), a biomedical engineer who studied the physiological effects of altered states of consciousness, concluded This article is based inpart on a presentationat the FirstAnnualSymposiumof the KundaliniResearchNetwork, Watsonville,CA, June 18, 1992.The author grate­ fully acknowledgesthe help of Kenneth Ring, Ph.D. and Barbara Harris, R.T.T.• Ms.T., in developingthe Physio-KundaliniSyndromeIndex questionnaireused in this study.

  • An Introduction to Kundalini Yoga Meditation Techniques That Are Specific for the Treatment of Psychiatric Disorders
    THE JOURNAL OF ALTERNATIVE AND COMPLEMENTARY MEDICINE Volume 10, Number 1, 2004, pp. 91–101 ©Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. PRACTICE An Introduction to Kundalini Yoga Meditation Techniques That Are Specific for the Treatment of Psychiatric Disorders DAVID S. SHANNAHOFF-KHALSA ABSTRACT The ancient system of Kundalini yoga includes a vast array of meditation techniques and many were dis- covered to be specific for treating the psychiatric disorders as we know them today. One such technique was found to be specific for treating obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), the fourth most common psychiatric disorder, and the tenth most disabling disorder worldwide. Two published clinical trials are described here for treating OCD using a specific Kundalini yoga protocol. This OCD protocol also includes techniques that are useful for a wide range of anxiety disorders, as well as a technique specific for learning to manage fear, one for tranquilizing an angry mind, one for meeting mental challenges, and one for turning negative thoughts into positive thoughts. Part of that protocol is included here and published in detail elsewhere. In addition, a num- ber of other disorder-specific meditation techniques are included here to help bring these tools to the attention of the medical and scientific community. These techniques are specific for phobias, addictive and substance abuse disorders, major depressive disorders, dyslexia, grief, insomnia and other sleep disorders. INTRODUCTION been taught that were known by yogis to be specific for dis- tinct psychiatric disorders. These disorders as we know them his paper refers to the system of Kundalini yoga as today have no doubt been common to humanity since the Ttaught by Yogi Bhajan, a living master of Kundalini origin of the species.

  • An Introduction to As Taught by Yogi Bhajan the Yoga of Awareness
    An Introduction to KUNDALINI YOGA As taught by Yogi Bhajan The Yoga of Awareness 1 Science of Kundalini Yoga KUNDALINI YOGA Kundalini Yoga is a potent and effective system of self-transformational and personal development. Kundalini Yoga stimulates individual growth through systemic techniques, which strengthen the nervous system, balance the glandular system, and align the chakras, for increased stability and vitality. Kundalini Yoga encompasses and draws from all yogic systems and techniques. Meditation improves mental concentration, sharpens awareness, develops intuition and gives direct experience of consciousness. Kundalini yoga classes take the students through exercise sets which incorporate breathing and work on all systems of the body, followed by meditation and deep relaxation. Kundalini Yoga is designed for the active person with responsibilities in school, work, family and the world. It was maintained as a secret oral tradition for thousands of years which protected the techniques from abuse, but also created an unnecessary image of mystery. Kundalini Yoga can be practiced by anyone if it is done gradually and according to the instructions. As our society becomes increasingly technological, our world becomes more intimately connected and influenced by its numerous cultures. The pace of change is on the rise and the stress on our body’s nervous system is increasing. The science of Kundalini Yoga allows us to tap into a technology that helps us cope with this escalating change. The inner science of the mind is the tool that will enable us to cope with the pressure of these changes. It is the mind that interprets our outer and inner worlds and it is the mind that we must train to guide us through the flow of change.

  • WORD! Mantras & Their Meanings
    WORD! - Mantras & their Meanings - with True WOMAN & CREATIVITY BHAND JAMMEE-AI This shabad (song), written by Guru Nanak blesses and honors all women. “Bhand” means “universal container” which acknowledges woman’s ability to be a mother – not just of a child, but as a channel of humanity. For women, the mantra resolves insecurity & frees her from conflict, negativity & crisis with grace. For a man, it dissolves any conflicts with the women in his life, elevating his communication with and treatment of all women. Bhand jammee-ai bhand nimmee-ai bhand mangan veeaa-hu. Bhandahu hovai dostee bhandahu chalai raahu. Bhand moo-aa bhand bhali-ai bhand hovai bandhan. So kio mandaa aakhi-ai jit jameh raajaan. Bhandahu hi bhand oopjai bhandai baajh na ko-ay. Naanak bhandai baahraa ayko sachaa so-ay. Jit mukh sadaa salaahee-ai bhaagaa ratee chaar.Naanak tay mukh oojalay tit sachai darbaar From woman, man is born; within woman, man is conceived; to woman he is engaged and married. Woman becomes his friend; through woman, the future generations come. When his woman dies, he seeks another woman; to woman he is bound. So why call her bad? From her, kings are born. From woman, woman is born; without woman, there would be no one at all. O Nanak, only the True Lord is without a woman. That mouth which praises the Lord continually is blessed and beautiful. O Nanak, those faces shall be radiant in the Court of the True Lord. ADI SHAKTI (Kundalini Bhakti Mantra) A devotional mantra that invokes the Divine Feminine/Mother Power.

  • Kundalini and the Near-Death Experience
    Kundalini and the Near-Death Experience Gene Kieffer The Kundalini Research Foundation, Ltd. ABSTRACT: While many now believe that the near-death experience can, in some cases, activate the kundalini, there is still little understanding of what is meant by the arousal of this power. The awakening of kundalini actually means the reversal of the activity of the reproductive system and the activa tion of another chamber in the brain, which, if all goes well, can lead to enlightenment or illumination, the next stage of human evolution. One objec tive proof of this phenomenon is urdhava-retas, the upward flow of the sexual energy. Unless this reversal occurs and persists, there can be no meaningful awakening. In 1977, the very first issue of Spiritual India and Kundalini, a magazine published by the Kundalini Research and Publication Trust in Srinigar, Kashmir, carried a dramatic article by Joseph Dippong, a Canadian businessman. Briefly, the story it told went like this: In 1970, Dippong participated in what might be described as an "encoun ter group" consisting of 17 businessmen. In a mood of hostility and in the midst of a heated discussion, one of the more aggressive men stared at Dippong and shouted, "Let's kill him; let's kill him." His article described what followed: And down on the floor I went, with about a dozen or more people on top of me. At first it appeared to be a joke, and I know in everyone's mind, indeed, it was meant to be one-you might say sort of kidding around to prove a point...

  • Power and Abuse
    Trigger warning: these pages contain information on abuse in yoga Power and abuse Regarded author and teacher, had no firm agenda, other than to get a sense of how he sees the book positioned within the overarching issue of Matthew Remski, renowned for his abuse; and more importantly, to try and get something of a handle on the intangible issue that has been lurking at the work on highlighting physical and back of my mind. That issue is one of power; and of the emotional injury in yoga, talks to various dynamics that are in play where issues of power are brought to the table. Or in this case, to the yoga mat. Gillian Osborne I am no scholar, but I am also no stranger to an academic I pre-ordered Practice and All is Coming. Not from text book and I have spent enough time in study to some morbid fascination with the sordid details recognise considered, informed opinion and original of other people’s experiences, but from an almost thought. Conversing with Matthew was both illuminating and fearful yet compelling desire to look into the heart of inspiring. And comfortable! Much of his conversation flowed one of the significant practice traditions and to see from an apparent and deep knowledge of these issues and what else lay there, alongside yoga, intertwined with any attempts to better his eloquent phraseology would it. The stories are shocking but entirely believable, most likely fail in spectacular fashion so I have quoted him presented rationally by the author whose meticulous directly where attempts to paraphrase seemed inadequate.

  • Special Invited Article Yoga As a Therapeutic Intervention : a Bibliometric Analysis of Published Research Studies
    Indian J Physiol Pharmacol 2004; 48 (3) : 269–285 SPECIAL INVITED ARTICLE YOGA AS A THERAPEUTIC INTERVENTION : A BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF PUBLISHED RESEARCH STUDIES SAT BIR S. KHALSA Division of Sleep Medicine, Department of Medicine, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School ( Received on May 8, 2004 ) Abstract : Although yoga is historically a spiritual discipline, it has also been used clinically as a therapeutic intervention. A bibliometric analysis on the biomedical journal literature involving research on the clinical application of yoga has revealed an increase in publication frequency over the past 3 decades with a substantial and growing use of randomized controlled trials. Types of medical conditions have included psychopathological (e.g. depression, anxiety), cardiovascular (e.g. hypertension, heart disease), respiratory (e.g. asthma), diabetes and a variety of others. A majority of this research has been conducted by Indian investigators and published in Indian journals, particularly yoga specialty journals, although recent trends indicate increasing contributions from investigators in the U.S. and England. Yoga therapy is a relatively novel and emerging clinical discipline within the broad category of mind-body medicine, whose growth is consistent with the burgeoning popularity of yoga in the West and the increasing worldwide use of alternative medicine. Key words : yoga meditation pranayama asana bibliometric mind-body medicine review INTRODUCTION the human individual with the universal and transcendent Existence” (1).

  • Kundalini and the Complete Maturation of the Ensouled Body
    KUNDALINI AND THE COMPLETE MATURATION OF THE ENSOULED BODY Stuart Sovatsky, Ph.D. Richmond, California ABSTRACT: In utero and infantile developmental manifestations of kundalini, the ‘‘ultimate maturational force’’ according to yogic traditions, are traced to numerous advanced yogic processes, including urdhva-retas (lifelong neuroendocrine maturation), khecari mudra (puberty-like maturation of the tongue, hypothalamus and pineal) and sahaja asanas (spontaneously arising yoga asanas) and their cross-cultural cognates that, altogether, form the somatic basis for all manner of spiritual aspirations and complete maturation of the ensouled body. At the collective level and according to the centermost Vedic maxim, Vasudhaiva kutumbakam (The world is one family), a vast majority of successful fifty-year marriages interspersed with sannyasins (fulltime yogis) indicates a spiritually matured society. Thus, along with developing spiritual emergence counseling techniques for individuals in spiritual crises, transpersonal clinicians might draw from ashrama and tantric mappings of lifelong developmental stages to support marriages, families and communities and thus, over future centuries, reverse current familial/global brokenness and foster the emergence of mature, enlightened, whole cultures.
