mantra I am using more often now (pronounced Aum).
I was first introduced to Hinduism in my Yoga class in the 1970's. I really didn't understand it, but found great peace in the Mantras we chanted. I haven't used them consistently, but plan to start again...while walking on the beaches in Southern California, I often used "Sat Nam" (pronounced Sut Nom). It is a "Bij or seed mantra, which means that from the first time you say or intone it, you plant a seed in your psyche which will bear fruit and blossom, as you water it with practice." It literally means "True Identity" (Ref.: Kundalini Yoga for Body, Mind, and Beyond by Ravi Singh)
. is another
mantra I am using more often now (pronounced Aum).
"The chanting of Om drives away all worldly thoughts and removes distraction and infuses new vigour in the body.
When you feel depressed, chant Om fifty times and you will be filled with new vigour and strength. The chanting of Om is a powerful tonic. When you chant Om, you feel you are the pure, all pervading light and consciousness.
Those who chant Om will have a powerful, sweet voice. Whenever you take a stroll, you can chant Om. You can also sing Om in a beautiful way. The rythmic pronunciation of Om makes the mind serene and pointed, and infuses the spiritual qualifications which ensure self-realization.
Those who do meditation of Om daily will get tremendous power. They will
have lustre in their eyes and faces. "
