Universal Mantra


"We have a universal mantra that has been given to everyone. It is Haree Om Shrii Hung, Om Nam Kevalam, which means, "The Goal Of The Life Is To Be(Come) Divine, That Divinity (God) Is Everything."

When you use the mantra, first of all you breathe deeply, therefore it relaxes your body.  You relax your body first and then you start breathing very deeply.  Deep breathing brings
greater Prana to the body; therefore it becomes very relaxed and prepared to let you come into your Consciousness.

Then you connect the breathing with the meditation.  So we breathe in:  Haree Om Shrii Hung.  You realize the stillness between breathing in and breathing out.  And you breathe out:  Om Nam Kevalam and you realize the stillness between breathing out and breathing in.

That stillness between breathing is where the goal of meditation is.  When you breathe in Haree Om Shrii Hung, when you stop, that stillness between breathing in and breathing out is where you want to be.  There is no thought.  There is no breathing.  There is no nothing.  It is Nirvana; Nothingness.  That is the goal.  
 
Anytime your mind starts wandering away from this technique, breathing in Haree Om Shrii Hung [remembering:  The Goal Of The Life Is To Be(Come) Divine], and realizing that stillness, and breathing out…

The moment you forget that and your mind starts going somewhere else and thinking, you gently bring your mind back to the mantra.  If you do that, you will bring a greater degree of control over your mind because you are telling your mind or your subconsciousness, “I am not going to listen to you.  You have to listen to me.  You have to come back to my mantra.  You have to come to this.”  The mind eventually will reach a state that that stillness becomes absolute in your consciousness and the rhythm of breathing becomes the meditation, not the mind chattering. 

Eventually you reach a point that you go to Nirvana or a satate of Essence and the mind is not there anymore, and you experience Pure Consciousness."
