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

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.”
