Favorite mantras

Yes, ton of energy :D Well more on kali since it’s the shakti energy but i would say fearlessnes, courage and radical cleaning (detachment) are the most dominant one.

On kala bhairava hmm…time management. If you spend a lot stuff with useless stuff he makes to stop this and mostly i use him because of the enhanced meditation experience. Yea of course somewhere we all do chant mantras because of this but i think especially bhairava stands out when you want to go beyond time.

Uhmm im sure Maoshan can recommend you some, i rarely have used or listened to like audios/videos. Its been more of a practice with a group of people throughout the years, or learning with a guide but irl.

I do have one only that i love chanting a long with, i remember at some point at a work place that was very “noisy” in the whole sense, i was looking for some to listen to with headphones and at least chant in my head because that job was that chaotic haha.

I just randomly went through some on YouTube until finding the ones that sounded good. I dont remember which ones they were, because i didnt do it often like that.

However this one: :heart_eyes: i love how it sounds, it brings me so much instant peace, its the only one after many years i play while i chant:
It might sound simple but i dont know… it hits the spot for me every time lol

Oh and i used to love this one too, the beat sounds felt like so powerful :sunglasses: but i dont listen to it anymore

What do you guys think of this one?

The quack seems to have returned, this Dhyanguru scamster. And the so-called mantra in this video is ASMBGShShRKN. I had to get into his head to figure out the origin of this gibberish.

The original verse is:

ādityāya sōmāya maṅgalāya budhāya ca ||
guru-śukra-śanibhyaca rāhavē kētavē namaḥ ||

This is just a simple verse - not a mantra, a prayer (mantras and prayers are distinct) naming the nine planets in Sanskrit and saluting to them.

Now, this dude took the first letters of each word, created a mumbo-jumbo word, and calls it a mantra that gives results in 3-minutes! The nonsense he comes up with is pretty creative, got to give him that!

Well, this will do nothing even in 3-years, other than perhaps fill this charlatan’s wallets through his music sales, YT monetization, and his “personal consultation” services.

I looked at the video and most of the comments and requests seem to be from Indians (going by the names). I am surprised that the current day Indians cannot even recognize simple Sanskrit verses and call him out for his quackery. Sanskrit (at least the bare basics) and Mantras seem to be a declining school of knowledge, which is terribly sad and a great loss.

I didn’t realize Spirituality Zone is the benchmark and final authority on genuine mantras? Not a fan of that creator either. His energy sources do not connect with the deities/archetypes, so not sure what the SZ mantras connect to. He seems to mimic the energy of some priests in Australia - and we all know how priests are, right? :slight_smile: In short, for example, I’ve tried his Gayatri and Hanuman audios and they do not resemble the energetic feel of the corresponding deities at all. Anyway, this is just my opinion. I don’t want to say more and trigger unnecessary wars, as this is Sapien’s forum.

Oh, the above was about Shiva from SZ (who seems to be a nice guy irrespective of what I think of his fields). As for Nipun, that guy is a total quack. He would email me a decade ago asking me all kinds of questions on mantras, he knew nothing at all and then suddenly became a “Guru” lol…I was even told that he had a stroke sometime ago and has more or less retreated from public life, not sure if that is true, but things catch up anyway.

Tip: Mantras are potent, if practiced right, and if they are genuine. A random group of syllables at best will not cause harm, and at worst, can wreck the energy system. The same applies to other energetic tools as well :slight_smile:

Hence always Google, do research, read, investigate. Listen to higher guidance that is in all of us.

Mantras have a long, well-recorded, living tradition. If the majority of mantras are nowhere else to be found other than from this quack, and if they promise instant results, your red flags should go up right away!!

Mantras can become instantly effective, even without practice, if the Guru gives it via Shaktipat, an intense transfer of energy. There are no such teachers today, especially not on Youtubes that advertize mantras for seduction :slight_smile:

Then tell me which is credible in term of luck mantra and peace for me and my love ones. Any suggestion? Cause I’m relatively new to mantras

Everyone starting with mantras should always start with Ganesha. He protects, grants peace, health and prosperity, removes obstacles to physical, mental, spiritual progress and his domain is the Root Chakra. He is one of the few deities that is a fierce warrior, an affectionate child, a celibate, a highly sexual lover - pretty much everything rolled into one.

So, the question is, what makes a mantra work then?

Mantra is essentially a phrase or a combination of sounds, often without any decipherable meaning - that represents a deity, or a concept (like the Vedic Mahavakyas that affirm the oneness of the individual self and the Divine Consciousness, etc.). Most mantras are sonic forms of deities, who in turn are divine archetypes. Deities are very real in a sense and equally unreal as they are also projections of the Higher Mind. They have existence in the macrocosm, and in the microcosm, as the two mirror each other anyway, right? Deities are ancient beings, expressions of the one Divine Consciousness, egregores, and aliens (in some cases) - all this is true. For example, Shiva is certainly a very ancient deity that has existed for a long, long time. At the same time, he is also the archetype of unbridled, liberated, non-dual consciousness. Some deities can be egregores (here is a funny example), created by mass adoration via the collective consciousness of millions of people (I try to not use the term deity for an egregore).

Between 2010 and 2012, Dalai Lama visited Seattle frequetly to hold some rituals. In one such ritual, he could sense my unease with some of the Tibetan mantras being recited and kept pointing to me and smiling. After the ritual, there was a discussion about the importance of pronunciation when it comes to mantras. One of his Western disciples asked a question: “I agree with this guy (me) to an extent but then how have these mantras worked for Tibetans for hundreds of years when they have been pronounced differently from their Sanskrit originals?”

DL looked at me questioningly, and below was my humble response:

  1. The mantras were transferred via transmission originally by the Indian teachers who then carried them to Tibet. While the pronunciation changed due to the inability of Tibetans to pronounce Sanskrit, the seed of the transmission persisted, so the energetic connection remained that could be awakened through sheer effort, even if the mantra was not perfectly recited. So, the results here were less from the sonic vehicle of the mantra itself, but from the original energetic transmission that contained the mantra.
  2. The Tibetans do not depend on a mantra alone (unlike most of their Indian counterparts today, who recite it incorrectly, but do not supplement it in other ways) - they follow intense visualizations of the deity, its concept, its form - gross, subtle and energetic, the energetic expression of the deity in the form of the mandala, etc. This conceptual communication with the deity is always used to supplement the mantra.
  3. In spite of all this, there really is no proof that they have replicated the exact original alchemy/energetic effect accomplished by the practitioners of the original Sanskrit mantras like Indrabhuti, Lakshminkara, etc. in the ancient Oddiayana region (Swat valley) of India.

DL seemed satisfied with this response. He frequently encourages his students to learn and master the original mantras, when possible, rather than the Tibetan ones, now that they have access to them.
