This chant in this raga is my constant companion. Whenever I long to feel my own heart, I play this chant. Whenever I am grateful for the Guru’s grace in my life, I play this chant. Whenever I am uncertain and want to remind myself of who I am and of the boundless blessings I have received, I play this chant.

After chanting this namasankirtana for an extended period of time, my heart was filled with overwhelming gratitude. I experienced the same energy that I had experienced nineteen years ago while chanting with Shri Gurumayi in Baba’s Samadhi Shrine in Gurudev Siddha Peeth. And I again fortified my understanding that the Guru always lives in my heart as me.
This morning when I recited Shri Guru Gita, at verse 54 I consciously recited the verse and also read its meaning—that thinking of Shri Guru is thinking of Shiva, and repeating Shri Guru’s name is like repeating Shiva’s name.
As I chant Baba Muktananda’s name now, I am filled with the ecstasy and shakti of the namasankirtana. I bow in gratitude before my Guru for my good fortune.

I love this chant. It makes me calm while I am stressed and helps me to do my studies and seva peacefully and well. When I listen to this chant, I feel very soothed. It increases my devotion to the Guru. I first heard this chant in Gurudev Siddha Peeth while I was offering seva. I heard the music ensemble singing this chant, and since then I can’t stop listening to it.

How I love this chant! I associate it with long, peaceful hours of meditating. It transports me to the blue light of the meditation hall—and to my heart.
When I opened my computer, I was still preoccupied with the pulls and pushes of the minutiae of daily life. But when I saw this, it brought an immediate smile. Just the first few repetitions and I was calm, smiling again.
How perfectly I receive what I need when I need it! My heart is filled with gratitude.

Chanting with Gurumayi in the Bhakti raga filled my heart with billows of velvety-soft feelings of love and contentment—and a great surge of energy and hope. What an incredible way to begin my day!
