Swami Shivapadananda with mantras

SWAMI SHIVAPADANANDA

DAILY READINGS

Taken from Mother Radha's notes, written at Swamiji's feet.

Day 396

 
 

You wake [up] at night? Ask for peace, without motivation. Repeat these [mantra] words:

Om saha naavavatu sahanau bhunaktu saha veeryam karavavahai

Tejasvi navadhitamastu ma vidhvishavahai

Om shantih! Om shantih! Om shantih! 

Meaning:

May He protect us both (the teacher and the taught) together (by revealing knowledge).

May He protect us both (by vouchsafing [give or allow] the results of knowledge).

May we attain vigour together. Let what we study be invigorating. May we not cavil [bicker with, find fault, argue] at each other.

Om Peace! Peace! Peace!

Say it over and over and over.

If you offer your love to God, He becomes your slave. What does God want? Nothing worldly. But He wants your love.

Krishna drove Radha mad [with devotion], till she went singing and dancing in the streets for the love of Krishna. Can we be like that for God?

The guru is in all, everywhere, but we cannot see that. We only see his manifestation in one place. Later we will see the guru in all. Till then concentrate on the guru and become egoless.

Desirelessness leads to non-attachment and contentment. This itself is the middle path. This means not to desire to do something; and not to desire not to do something.

Om Namah Shivaya [Shiva]. Say it and Shiva is standing there, all of Cosmic Consciousness is there now.
