Harmonium: lokah samastah
Walking Meditation
Harmonium: "Guru Mantra"
गुरुर्ब्रह्मा गुरुर्विष्णुः गुरुर्देवो महेश्वरः | गुरु: साक्षात् परं ब्रह्म तस्मै श्रीगुरवे नमः|| gururbrahmā gururviṣnuḥ gururdevo maheśvaraḥ guruḥ sākṣāt parambrahma tasmai śrī gurave namaḥ
One of my favorites, a portion of verse from the Guru Stotram, in praise of the supreme teacher: "The guru is the creator, the preserver, the destroyer, and the supreme reality manifest; I bow to the remover of ignorance"
Harmonium: Mahamantra
Try out this tune in one of your yoga classes or at home to immerse in the sacred names and sounds of the mahamantra: Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare / Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare
lokah samastah
May all beings everywhere be happy
लोका: समस्ता: सुखिनो भवन्तु || lokāḥ samastāḥ sukhino bhavantu
This chant embodies the selfless spirit and the desire to uplift all beings. I was excited to learn this simple harmonium fingering to accompany the chant and used to practice playing and singing it on our back porch in Jatipura, India.
