This is a challenging 9-part kriya that will make you sweat. It can instill power, courage, and guidance, and expand your reserve energy.
Before you begin your practice, tune-in by chanting the mantra Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo
How to chant the mantra Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo
Sit in Easy Pose with your spine straight. Press your palms together in Prayer Pose at the center of the chest, sides of the thumbs pressed against the sternum. With your eyes closed, focus your concentration at the Third Eye Point located between the eyebrows at the root of the nose, about a half inch under the skin. Inhale deeply and as you exhale chant Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo, on one breath. The sound Dev is chanted a minor third higher than the other sounds. If you cannot chant it all on one breath, take a short breath after Ong Namo. Repeat the mantra three times. The meaning of Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo is: I call on the creative infinite consciousness of the universe. I call on the divine wisdom within me.
Rocking Bow Pose
Rock back and forth in bow pose, while rhythmically and musically chanting the Guru Gaitri mantra:
Har, Har, Har, Har Gobinday
Har, Har, Har, Har Mukunday
Har, Har, Har, Har Udaaray
Har, Har, Har, Har Apaaray
Har, Har, Har, Har Hareeung
Har, Har, Har, Har Kareeung
Har, Har, Har, Har Nirnaamay
Har, Har, Har, Har Akaamay
Allow yourself to enter the vibration of this mantra as you practice; feel the transformative experience of connecting yourself to the Infinite, and the power and strength that comes from that connection.
“This is the Guru Gaitri mantra. It fixes the mind to prosperity and power. It contains the eight facets of Self. Har is the original force of Creativity. The four repetitions of Har give power to all aspects and provide the power to break down the barriers of the past. It converts fear into the determination to use and expand the reserve energy of the Navel Point. It invokes guidance and sustenance; all powers come to serve your true purpose.”
