I feel so blessed, so fortunate, so appreciative to repeat the same sacred mantra that brought liberation to so many saints.
 
Thank you, Gurumayi. Thank you, Baba and Bade Baba, for giving us such an immense treasure!

Hearing Bade Baba attributing the mantra Om Namah Shivaya to the primal Guru fills me with a sense of profound connection to the universe. I see an unbroken lineage of Gurus, with Om Namah Shivaya radiating outward from them into the world like a powerful river, always flowing and readily available at all times, in all places, and to all beings.
 
I experience this at times when I begin to repeat the mantra in my ordinary life, and it feels as if I’ve joined a chorus that is already singing all around me. At such times, I realize that Om Namah Shivaya is always being recited, and that all I need to do is notice and join in.
