Waheguru - Waheguru Simran - Waheguru Jaap

Let your heart be filled with the blissfulness of Waheguru chanting by Anandmurti Gurumaa. It begins with the Exposition of the gurmantra, which literally in Punjabi means ‘The Wonderful Lord’ and expresses the state of wondrous ecstasy. As Exposition explains the profound meaning of Waheguru, with Incantation begins the soul-stirring chanting of the mesmerising name of the Lord which eliminates the spiritual darkness. And then comes Invocation, invoking the divine with the dynamic chanting. It presents the chanting with breath – a unique way to chant the name with total involvement. As it is said that one should remember the Lord with every breath, this track exemplifies the meaning of being in remembrance with every breath. Truly entrancing! All the calling, all the remembrance is because we mortals have forgotten our true divine nature and we pray to the almighty to make us one with him. And with this culminates the album as the lover merges with the beloved, the seeker merges with the divine, the devotee merges with the Lord in Communion.

Love, longing, communion, celebration are the fragrance of the flowers beaded in this album to fill your life with eternal bliss. Listen to it again and again to evoke divinity within!

Maha Mrityunjaya - Chants, Meditation Mantra

Om triyambakam yajamahe sugandhim pushtivardhanam,
Urvarukamiva bandhanan mrrityormokshiya

We worship Shiva - The three-eyed (triyambakam) Lord (yajamahe), who is fragrant (sugandhim) and nourishes (pushti) and grows (vardhanam) all beings. As the ripened cucumber (urvarukamiva) is liberated (bandhanan) (‘by the intervention of the farmer’) from its bondage to the creeper when it fully ripens, may He liberate us (mokshiya) from death (mrityor), for the sake of immortality (mamrritat).

When we pray to Lord Shiva, we are in essence asking for his blessings and assistance in opening our third eye of spiritual wisdom. The natural consequence of this awakening is that we will be lead towards spiritual liberation or moksha, and attain freedom from the cycles of death and rebirth. The goal of chanting this mantra is to spiritually ripen so that Lord Shiva can free us from all bondages.

The Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra is hailed by the sages as the heart of the Rigveda. It is a great death conquering mantra, dedicated to Lord Shiva. Shiva is the God of death. It is said those who worship Shiva, untimely death can never come to them. It is also believed that to overcome the fear of death, Lord Shiva himself gave humanity the Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra. This mantra has many names and forms. It is also called the Rudra Mantra, referring to the furious aspect of Shiva; the Tryambakam Mantra, alluding to Shiva’s three eyes. This mantra restores health, happiness and brings calmness in the period of death. The mantra should ideally be repeated 108 times, twice daily, at dawn and at dusk.
