ENHANCE YOUR LIFE WITH MANTRAS

5/15/09

Hindu Goddess (Maha) Lakshmi

I began playing/listening/chanting (in my head) the KLEEM and SHREEM mantras today, one after the other. First SHREEM and then KLEEM for 108 times plus.

I read about these mantras on the Internet as taught by Guru Datta Dattreya Siva Baba (‘Datta’ or 'Babaji’ for short) who is the guru to author Dr. Wayne Dyer, author of The Shift, Manifesting Your Destiny and more.

These two mantras represent and honor the sweet Hindu Goddess Lakshmi, the Goddess of Light, Purity and Abundance. Activating Her sweet spirit through mantra will embody spiritual wisdom, luck, prosperity and fertility in one’s life

SHREEM Mantra is a powerful bija (seed) mantra. By chanting this bija 108 times a day (takes about 7 minutes), you will have success with finances, abundance, spirituality and material goods.

KLEEM Mantra is also a powerful bija mantra which activates the spiritual Law of Attraction. It’s the love mantra and attracts good friends, strong and positive relationships and love into one’s life. Babaji says it is a very important mantra for attracting people as well as material wealth.

These two bija mantras can also be combined and chanted 108 times a day as ‘Om Kleem Shreem Lakshmi’.

I estimate I did each mantra about 300 to 400 times today; at home, as I go went through my day and on the bus. As a personal discipline, I also listened to mantra on my MP3 player BEFORE listening to my favorite songs. So, this is how I will be doing my mantra work from here on out.

Babaji writes it takes 30-60 days to see the effect of daily mantra chanting. I realize I am supposed to do only 108 reps a day of each mantra but let’s face it:

- My mind is strongly trained though years of meditation to ‘stay the course’ and be
singularly focused, so doing this mantra work is easy,

- I need all the help I can get with finances, relationships and health,

- It’s soothing to have the Gods and Goddesses of the Hindu traditions as spiritual
support as well as my own spirit guides and angels,

- I want to be a better and more compassionate person in the world,

- Babaji teaches us to always keep our mind busy with positive life-affirming thoughts
instead of useless or damaging idle thoughts, and,

- It’s a sweet blessing to utilize another spiritual tool (the mantras) to assist me with
my journey through this life path.

I imagine the mantras are surrounding me with protective light energy, swirling through and about my aura and body as I go throughout my day and rest in the night.

Today was my first day with this mantra work and something interesting did happen. I was in a bathroom stall at a retail establishment and on the floor were two pennies. I thought, “Hmmm, I wonder if this is a sign of abundance beginning in my life because of the chanting. If so, it would be rather rude to ignore it.”

So, I picked the pennies off the floor, washed them (and my hands!) in soap and hot water, gave them a spritz of Lysol spray at home and they now reside on my meditation altar! My Kuan Yin, Mother Mary and Buddah are thrilled with their new friends!

In the past, my personal experience with this type of spirit work has been interesting. It is said the prose of the Jesus Prayer has special spiritual qualities. Although I do not consider myself or others as ‘sinners’, I decided to begin practicing the presence of God/Goddess by repeating the Jesus Prayer constantly for one week. After a while, it was if the Prayer repeated itself in my mind with almost no effort on my part. I would even hear it in my head as I woke up in the morning and as I had conversations during the day. By the end of the week, I suddenly realized I could perceive auric light around everything! It was very interesting. That ability has never gone away, even through four eye surgeries. Now, whenever I feel nervous or afraid, I chant this Prayer in my mind.

I’ll keep you posted as I continue along this path of using mantras to enhance my life.

Om Lakshmi!
Om Lakshmi!
Om Lakshmi!
