Mantras for Mamas
The Sanskrit mantras are ancient yet apply to today's world and life so clearly. I love to honor their tradition and long held vibration for all of humanity.
I have added my own creative expression of each mantra and the English lyrics, of which there are few, are my own.
Lyrics to Asatoma: Darkness to Light
Om asato mÄ sadgamaya, Om asato mÄ sadgamaya
tamaso mÄ jyotir gamaya, tamaso mÄ jyotir gamaya
mrityormÄ, mrityormÄ amritam gamaya,
mrityormÄ, mrityormÄ amritam gamaya
Asatoma is a mantra for realizing peace in our everyday lives. When we get stuck in the muck of this world, it reminds us we are so much more. This mantra offers a path out of the darkness into the light. When we connect with our infinite peace and unity, we are led from the unreal to the real. Life can offer what feels like poison, yet there is so much sweetness to be found by shifting our perspective. May you find everlasting peace in all you do.
Lyrics to Purnamada: From Fullness to Fullness
Om Purnamadah Purnamidam Purnat purnamudachyate
Purnasya Purnamadaya Purnamevavashisyate
Om Shanti Shanti Shanti
Purnamada taps us into the truth of who we are-on the deepest level, we are always whole and complete. We have nothing to prove, nothing to hide from. We are right, just as we are. Life will change around us, and our heart’s will still be full, no matter how much we give or receive.
Lyrics to Hrim Shrim Klim: The Heart's Dance
Hrim Hrim Hrim
Shrim Shrim Shrim
Klim Klim Klim
Namah Shivaya
Jai Ma Jai Ma Jai Ma Jai Ma Ma Ma
This groovy gospel influenced song shares a mantra of love, abundance and transformation. Hrim is the bija (seed sound) mantra of the heart. Shrim is the bija for abundance. Klim is the bija that attracts. Namah Shivaya is a mantra of transformation that helps us to release what no longer serves. This mantra calls in the mama and papa energies so they can dance together in harmony and love.
Lyrics to Aham Prema: I am Divine Love
Aham Prema Aham Prema Aham Prema
Om Mata Om (Mother)
Aham Prema Aham Prema Aham Prema
Om Bala Om (Child)
Aham Prema Aham Prema Aham Prema
Om Shanti Om Shanti Om (Peace)
I am Divine, Divine Love
An ode to the love between mother and child and the eternal love that unites us all. By honoring the deep truth of love within, we realize that we too are filled with peace. With love all things are possible.
