Tibetan_Ice Posted June 14, 2012 Hi TI Â Thanks for the links TI but I was given shaktipat with a mantra about 25 years ago. Â Hi Gatito, I wasn't suggesting that you get shaktipat, I was indicating that the only way to get that 'extra long Bhuta Shuddi' was to get shaktipat from Sri Anandi Ma. Â From whom did you recieve shaktipat? Was the mantra you were given very long and difficult? Â TI Â PS> My new mantra is "Settle the mind, without distraction and without grasping".

amoyaan Posted September 12, 2012 I enjoyed reading this thread and learning more about mantras. I have used them on and off for years, particularly favouring Om mani padme hum and om namah shivaya. I recently felt compelled to start doing the Gayatri mantra. It took me a while to get the pronunciation right (or as right as I can get it) and to be able to do it without looking at the text, but I soon settled into it and I'm amazed at how powerful it is. I can't put it into words, but it really has an incredibly cleansing, clearing, balancing and harmonising effect. I absolutely love it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Â You might want to look into doing the Gayatri mudras with it as well. Here are two different versions... Â Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
amoyaan Posted September 18, 2012 Neat thanks for sharing Turtle Shell. It's something I might consider when I get more proficient, although I rather like using my mala beads I have to say Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
