The Mula Mantra (or Moola Mantra)

At the retreat we learned a mantra that the Indians refered to as the Mula Mantra. It is an extremely transforming mantra that purifies and transforms both the one who chants it and the surrounding area. I have seen entire neighborhoods transformed by it. Sanskrit is a Divine or Angelic language. Just to know a little of it purifies the mind.

It is as follows in its original form:

Om
Sat Chit Ananda
Parabrahma Purushothama Paramathma
Sri Bhagavathi Padmavathi Sametha
Sri Kalki Bhagavathe Namaha

Later it was changed to remove the words "Kalki" and "Padmavathi".

Following is a simple translation

Sat means very simply Existence. It can also relate to the Un-Manifest.
Chit is consciousness.
Ananda is Bliss
Parabrahma means the Divine in a formless aspect
Purushothama is the Divine in a human form
Paramathma refers to the Divine imminent in the hearts of all creation
Sri Bhagavathi refers to the female aspect of creation-the Shakti-
Sametha means "In communion with"
Sri Bhagavathe is the male aspect
Namaha means I bow to you.


You can get this chant in the original form by visiting www.kosmicmusic.com and ordering "The Sacred." It is chanted by my teacher, Acharya Sri Ananda Giri, a direct disciple of Sri Bhagavan. It was recorded in Chile and mastered brilliantly in San Jose.

Thankyou! I didn't actually know that, and I'm a following Hindu.
