| It is said that 125,000
recitations of a mantra will bring mantra siddhi, the
realization of a notable level of benefit from the mantra. While
this web page is created in a spirit of playfulness, who knows,
it might just have an effect to scroll down it one time. By
holding down the "down arrow" key, it will scroll
slowly through the 125,OOO OMs below. If you're really in a
hurry to finish this visual japa (recitation) practice, hold
down the "page down" key.
In the Yoga
Sutras, Patanjali
says that practicing one-pointedness of mind is the antidote (sutra
1.32)
for nine different obstacles (sutra 1.30), including illness,
procrastination, doubt, negligence, laziness, cravings,
confusion, failure to do practices, and losing ground you've
already gained. As if that's not enough, he goes on to say that
these nine bring along four more obstacles (sutra 1.31),
including pain, sadness, anxiety, and irregular breath.
Isn't it great to know that the
single solution of one-pointedness is one of the highest
antidotes to these problems! Remembering mantra is an age old
method for doing this, whether you call it mantra japa,
remembering the word, or repeating affirmations. You can do it
aloud, mentally recite or remember, or fill out a page of
paper with written mantras--each of these ancient methods is
effective in its own way. Or, just scroll down! :) |

-------
This site is devoted
to presenting the ancient Self-Realization path of the Tradition of
the Himalayan masters in simple, understandable and beneficial ways,
while not compromising quality or depth. The goal of our sadhana or
practices is the highest Joy that comes from the Realization in
direct experience of the center of consciousness, the Self, the
Atman or Purusha, which is one and the same with the Absolute
Reality. This Self-Realization comes through Yoga meditation of the
Yoga Sutras, the contemplative insight of Advaita Vedanta, and the
intense devotion of Samaya Sri Vidya Tantra, the three of which
complement one another like fingers on a hand. We employ the
classical approaches of Raja, Jnana, Karma, and Bhakti Yoga, as well
as Hatha, Kriya, Kundalini, Laya, Mantra, Nada, Siddha, and Tantra
Yoga. Meditation, contemplation, mantra and prayer finally converge
into a unified force directed towards the final stage, piercing the
pearl of wisdom called bindu, leading to the Absolute.
