I love meditating while listening to this chant. When I do so, I am often drawn into a deep state of stillness. In this quiet state, memories and thoughts of Gurumayi abound, and delight fills my awareness. Sometimes, after these meditations, I experience, woven throughout my day, feelings that, no matter where I am, the Guru is always with me.

Last evening as I chanted
Om Namah Shivaya, I was filled with tremendous gratitude to Shri Gurumayi for the beautiful life she has guided me through—a life filled with answered prayers, love, strength, and grace. A full life!

Om Namah Shivaya in the
Bhairavi raga has always been able to take me deep into that place where I can feel the love of the Siddhas.

Before I found the Siddha Yoga path, I came upon this mantra. I was drawn to chant it softly to myself to help me relax and sleep. It had such a comforting quality to it—as though it was reaching out to embrace me. I feel this was the grace of Lord Shiva compassionately leading me to the Siddha Yoga path. I am so grateful for this recording and all the wonder it evokes in me!

I first chanted the mantra
Om Namah Shivaya in 1990, one year before I met Gurumayi. From the moment I heard the words, I knew I was home. The mantra is my safe space in the Heart of all that is. I am forever grateful for this blessing in my life. We are forever connected by this sacred mantra.

During the several years that I offered
seva at Gurudev Siddha Peeth from 2016 to 2019, I had witnessed all the celebrations of Mahashivaratri there. Today I happened to listen to the sacred mantra
Om Namah Shivaya early in the morning and felt as if I were back in Gurudev Siddha Peeth. My heart was there and I was chanting the mantra in Guru Chowk. I discovered that, through chanting the mantra, I can feel connected to the Ashram even while living here at home.

As I chanted this sacred mantra, my heart began to pulsate with serenity, my worries began to melt away, and I entered into a state of pure contentment.
I am so grateful to Shri Gurumayi and all the
siddhas for this invaluable gift of love.
