SADHANA STEPS

 

                                                            

                                                          👀 STEP 25 👀

   

                       MEDITATE ON YOUR MANTRA (MANTRA DHYANA)

                YOU ARE ONLY ONE STEP AWAY FROM STARTING YOUR MANTRA CHANTING NOW. DHYANA IS MEDITATING ON THE DEITY OF THE MANTRA BEFORE YOU BEGIN YOUR JAPA. PERSONALLY, I KEEP IT VERY SIMPLE AND MEDITATE UPON HER USING CORE MANTRA. YOU CAN DO THE SAME.

                             👀 SANSKRIT 👀

            OM BHURBHUVAH SVAH

            BHARGO DEVASYA DHIMAHI

            DHIYO YO NAH PRACODAYATA

                        👀 TRANSLATION👀

                   MAY WE ABIDE IN THE SUPREME ENERGY THAT IS ETERNAL, TRANSCENDENTAL, RADIANT, PERFECT, DIVINE. MAY SUCH DIVINE GRACE ALWAYS GUIDE US ON THE PATH OF RIGHTEOUSNESS.

                                                                 STEP 26

                              MANTRA CHANTING (MOOLA MANTRA JAPA)

                  THE CHANTING BEGINS AT THIS STEP. NOW YOU DIP YOUR HAND INTO THE BEAD BAG (GAUMUKHI) AND START CHANTING THE MANTRA AS PER YOUR SANKALPA.

                                                               STEP 27

 

                              POST-JAPA HANLOCKS (UTTARA MUDRA)

              ONCE YOUR JAPA IS COMPLETE, THE MUDRAS POST THE SADHANA ARE SHOW NOW. THERE ARE EIGHT HANDLOCKS (MUDRAS) THAT ARE SHOWN AT THE COMPETION OF YOUR JAPA. RATHER THAN SHOWING THE STANDARD HANDLOCKS AS STATED IN ESSENTIAL STEPS IN THE RITES OF INVOCATION (PURUSHCHARANA).

                                                              STEP 28

                           OFFER YOUR CHANTING (JAPA SAMARPANA)

           WHEN YOUR JAPA IS COMPLETE, IT SHOULD BE OFFERED TO THE DEITY OF THE MANTRA SO ITS VIBRATIONS ARE RELEASED IN THE UNIVERSE AND IT MAY BE USED FOR THE WELFARE OF ALL SENTIENT BEINGS. OFFER YOUR PRAYER IN THE LEFT HAND OF DEVI WITH THE MANTRA BELOW:

                       SANSKRIT

                  PLEASE GRANT ME YOUR BENEDICTION (THE DESIRED OUTCOME) O DEVI, REFUGE OF THE ONE WHO SEEKS YOU, YOUR DEVOTEE HERE SURRENDERS AND OFFERS ALL MY JAPA AND PRAYERS TO YOU.

               YOU CAN CHANT THE FOLLOWING MANTRA AFTER OFFERING YOUR CHANTING TO REINFORCE THAT YOU PRAY FOR THE WELFARE OF EVERYONE AROUND YOU.

                                        FREE ALL ENERGIES (VISARJANA)

                    IN THIS STEP, THANKING THE ENERGIES OF THE DIETY WHO PRESENTED THEMSELVES WHILE YOU PROPITIATED THE DIVINE ENERGY AND CHANTED YOUR MANTRA, WE ALLOW THOSE ENERGIES TO RETURN TO THEIR ABODE. IT CAN BE DONE WITH ANY WORDS YOU SO WISH TO CHOOSE OR YOU CAN CHANT THE SIMPLE MANTRA BELOW:

                   MAY ALL ENERGIES RETURN TO THEIR ABODE AND I HUMBLY REQUEST YOUR PRESENCE AGAIN WHEN I PRAY TO YOU NEXT. MAY ALL ENERGIES TAKE THEIR SEATS IN THEIR RESPECTIVE ABODES. MAY THE SUPREME ENERGY RESIDE IN MY HEART.

                                                              STEP 30

                             SEEK FORGIVENESS (KSHAMA PRARTHANA)

                        ONCE AGAIN, YOU CAN SEEK FORGIVENESS WITH ANY WORDS YOU WISH TO USE, FOR SENTIMENT IS MORE IMPORTANT THAT LANGUAGE OR YOU CAN USE THE VERSES BELOW TO DO THIS.

                O DEVI, I MUST HAVE COMMITTED THOUSANDS OF MISTAKES AND ERRORS IN CHANTING YOUR NAMES. PLEASE FORGIVE ME FOR MY ERRORS LIKE A GOOD MASTER FORGIVES HIS SERVANT. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO INVITE YOU NOR DO I KNOW HOW TO SEE YOU OFF. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO PRAY TO YOU, PLEASE FOLLOW ME FOR MY IGNORANCE.  

              I AM WITHOUT THE KNOWLEDGE OF MANTRAS, ACTIONS OR DEVOTION, O GODDESS, AND YET, I DARE TO PRAY TO YOU. PLEASE GRANT ME YOUR GRACE.
