How Mantras can Healand Move Us Into Meditation

 Kirtan

 Quiet Your Mind, Feel Your Self!
Kirtan (in Sanskrit means "to repeat" and also referred to as call-and-response chanting) helps the mind become quiet, and when the mind quiets, we can begin to perceive the mystical things, the sacred experiences, that are around us always. In the silence between the songs, when the song stops, you can feel something. And that something is you. There is no greater experience than the experience of one's Self. And that vibration is always within you, that vibration is you. That's the beauty of any chant experience-with little or no effort we can experience and enjoy the vibrations of peace, energy, healing and inspiration that are always within us.

Meaning: "OM. We worship and adore you, O three-eyed one, O Shiva. You are sweet gladness, the fragrance of life, who nourishes us, restores our health, and causes us to thrive. As, in due time, the stem of the cucumber weakens, and the gourd is freed from the vine, so free us from attachment and death, and do not withhold immortality."

Proper recitation of the Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra rejuvenates, bestows health, wealth, long life, peace, prosperity and contentment. It is said that chanting of this mantra, also called the Shiva Mantra, or Rudra Mantra,  generates divine vibrations that ward off all the negative and evil forces and creates a powerful protective shield. Besides, it is said to protect the one who chants against accidents and misfortunes of every kind. Recitation of the mantra creates vibration that pulsates through every cell, every molecule of human body and tears away the veil of ignorance. Hindus believe that recitation of the mantra ignites a fire within that consumes all negativity and purifies entire system. It is also said to have a strong healing power and can cure diseases declared incurable even by the doctors. Many believe Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra to be a mantra that can conquer death and connect human beings to their own inner divinity.
