    When I listen to this mantra, I immediately feel that I´m home. It transports me back to my very first Siddha Yoga Shaktipat Intensive. Hearing the mantra in this raga takes me within to a beautiful, peaceful place where I feel complete and never alone. It reminds me that my Guru is always with me in my heart.

    As I seemed to dissolve into the depths of the chant, I recognized what a blessing it was to be anchored in the sound of the mantra. When my inner focus is grounded in the mantra, it carries me through my daily life and its challenges without struggle or entanglement.

    Om Namah Shivaya is my constant meditation companion. As I sit for meditation with the mantra, my mind slows, my breath slows. I slip quietly and beautifully into a deep, meditative state. Om Namah Shivaya is my friend, my savior, my guide, my blessing.

    I am eternally grateful for the divine gift of shaktipat and for the Siddha Yoga mantra Om Namah Shivaya. This sacred mantra has blessed my life with indescribable transformation, deep understanding of the Truth, great hope, and divine healing in every aspect of my being!

    Today, while chanting the mantra Om Namah Shiva in the Shuddha Bilaval raga, I perceived the music as generous waves of a joyful river, its flow guided by Gurumayi’s voice. These waters were running over the earth, carrying their blessings and graciously leaving behind some most-needed healing, regeneration, and joy. At the end of this wonderful chant, I felt very grateful and at peace because I knew that these blessings upon our Mother Earth are real and have a deep and beneficial impact on our world.

    This morning as I chanted this chant with Gurumayi, I heard these words from within: “There is no separation. We are always together.”

    Tonight I chanted the mantra with Gurumayi as I made dinner, and memories of offering seva in the kitchen at the Siddha Yoga Ashram in Boston floated up, filling my heart with so much sweetness. Enjoying a cup of tea, I looked out my top floor apartment window and felt my heart expand as I chanted to the trees, and then to the Boston skyline and the airplanes flying out of Logan Airport with their blinking lights. I chanted to a lost love who lives nearby, I chanted until I felt it was all a part of me and I was a part of it. I felt so grateful for all of it, for my life, my Guru, losses, gains, the company of trees near my window, and the sounds of cars going by. It was all alive with love, and even though I live alone, in that moment I didn’t feel alone. I offered the chant to all of it, and all of it loved me back.

    I am grateful to Gurumayi for opening me to the one love that is in everything.

    I often listen to the Om Namah Shivaya mantra in this raga before going to bed. I experience so much calm and peace, and afterwards I have the most restful sleep. When I wake up, the chant is still playing within me.
     
    This raga instantly connects me to my inner stillness! It is also my best companion during my walks in nature.

    As I listened to the Om Namah Shivaya mantra in this raga, I was transported to a universe that exists in the depth of my own self.

    I felt the syllables of the mantra were assuming different shapes as they vibrated in my heart. I felt the mantra, which has been repeated countless times by our Siddha Gurus, was manifesting its power within me.

    At that moment I had the awareness that I should never feel alone, because my Guru is always with me in the form of the mantra.

    Today, although I am not participating physically in the Shaktipat Intensive 2023, I chanted Om Namah Shivaya. As I chanted, I held the intention of chanting with deep honor to the God who “dwells within me as me,” and infused it into the sound that I created while chanting. I envisioned it as a sacred offering within myself.
     
    This was an incredible experience. I felt awe and deep respect for the powerful, palpable presence I became aware of within me. Yet moments of anxiety and fear also arose in different parts of my body. All I could do was keep chanting while holding my intention and enfolding the anxiety in my love. That turned out to be a good choice as this quelled the sensation of anxiety.
     
    Now as I write this share while listening to the chant, the powerful presence remains with me, embodying the truth of Baba’s teaching: “God dwells within you as you.”
