| HOW
TO CHANT LONG "EK ONG KAR" MANTRA |
|
|
| |
Sit in easy pose with the legs crossed
and the spine straight. Press the shoulders back slightly
and bring the chin in slightly, suspending the breath
in the chest, felt in the area of the heart chakra (between
the bottom of the sternum and top of the ribs below the
nape of the neck).
Place the hands on the knees and inhale deeply, filling
the lower part of the lungs with a focused intention that
pushes the lower part of the diaphragm out against the
abdominal muscles. Simultaneously, put an inward and downward
pressure with the hands against the knees. This will lift
the rib cage, resulting in the downward flow of the inhalation
to entirely fill the lungs, from the bottom to the middle
to the top, using only the diaphragm.
When the (each) breath is complete, come into jalandara
bhand (neck lock), pressing the shoulders back, bring
the chin in slightly (which increases the resonance of
the sound in the spine and cranium), keeping the head
straight (not bent forwards or back), and suspend the
breath all along the diaphragm and forwards in the chest
(opening the chakras).
Then, chant "Ek (Ik) Ong Kar" in one long complete breath.
With the sound of "Ik," pull the lips wide and pull the
Mul Bhand (root lock), bringing the awareness from the
Muladara (lowest chakra) to the Kandal (between the naval
and 4th vertebra). Then relaxing the root lock, continue
the sound of "Ong" giving way to "Kar" (like "car"), which
sounds are chanted equally with the remaining of the breath
and vibrated from the Kandal.
Pause for a moment, then…
Inhale deeply (see above), suspend the breath and chant
"Sat Nam Siri" in one long complete breath. With the sound
of "Sat" (as in "ahh" versus "cat"), pull the root lock
and bring the awareness to the heart. Then relax the root
lock and chant the sound Naam in one long breath with
the "aaa" very long and "mmm" very short," vibrating the
sound from the heart. When the breath is almost entirely
expelled, chant the short sound of "siri," where with
the "ri sound (may be a slightly higher pitch), again,
the root lock and, this time, diaphragm lock (uddyana
bhand) are pulled up - "siiii-ri." With the sound "Siri"
bring the awareness to the Ajna chakra, the point slightly
above and between the eyebrows.
Quickly, without a pause, take a quick half breath and
chant "Wha!" pulling up the root lock and expelling most
of the breath. With the sound of "Wha!" bring the awareness
from the ajna chakra to the Sahasrara - crown chakra.
Then releasing the root lock finish the chant with "he
Guru" - "hey" is 3 times longer than "Gu" and "Ru" is
3 time or more longer than "Gu" as the balance of the
breath is expelled. With the sound "he Guru" release the
sound through the 10th Gate at the crown and into the
magnetic field and Akasha (ether of space).
Pause for a moment to let the sound of silence merge the
mind into the pure soundless sound of your True Pervasive
Being.
Then inhale deeply again and continue.
Chant for 5 minutes or 11 minutes, 31 minutes 62 minutes,
2.5 hours. With continued practice, especially after some
Kundalini Yoga exercises that charge up the nervous system
and convert the body into an amplifier of sound, the mind
will begin to attune itself to the surat shabad (Spirit
Sound Current - Sound of the Celestial Spheres), as the
centers of the brain begin to open and related glands
secrete.
With the secretion of these glands, the infinite cosmic
energy in the ether of space in which the universe appears
will begin to flow into and fill the body with light,
just as a jar floating on the ocean, when the lid is opened
becomes one with the ocean.
And the body / mind will be transformed into That. |

Oh

 only the truth, for this reason
Where you given to a man that he might hear the
Word,
Which having heard, the mind and the body blossom
forth
And the tongue is rung with its flavor
The Lord is wondrous and unfathomable
His Name none can tell, sayeth Nanak.
Oh, hear the nectar Name and become pure,
For the truth is what you were created to hear.
The Lord placed the soul in the body's cave
and the air held the music of life.
And He gave each one 9 Gates
with the Tenth remaining well hidden
And the Tenth door is opened to him
who truly loves the Guru's Wisdom.
Oh, hear the nectar Name and become pure,
For the truth is what you were created to hear.

TEACHER TRAINING NOTEBOOK
EK ONG KAR SAT NAM SIRI WHAHE
GURU
By Yogi Bhajan,
Ph.D.
After meditating at the Lotus Feet of my Master,
who has granted me liberation from the time cycle
and the cycle of Karma, oh my sweet student teacher
of the day, I disclose to you the secret of the
Nam. If you care to listen to me this day and will
practice you will be liberated like me.
I have seen the god. It is light equal to millions
and billions of rays of sunlight. It is the cosmic
energy which is the brightest of the brightest and
most beautiful of the beautiful. Nothing beyond
this can be said. It is the greatest of the great.
When the Master, through his blessing blesses you,
you will realize this within you.
Out of the 4 Yugs (Ages) which the scriptures described,
one was Sat Yug - the Age of truth or Golden Age.
Then came Treta Yug, when the truth was ? full and
it was the Silver age. After this came Doapar Yug,
when the truth was ? revealed. Thereafter came the
Kali Yug when the truth is ?. This Yug is known
as the Dark Age - Age of Steel or Machine Age. The
duration of each is respectively 1,728,000, 1,296,000,
864,000 and 432,000 human years, a ratio of 4, 3,
2, 1. This ratio is found to prevail in many sacred
computations. These 4 Yugs together make 4,320,000
Earth years of what is called a Maha Yug or Great
Age. In sat Yug, the Age of Innocence or Truth,
man was one with the Divine and he realized the
vibration which this Cosmic Energy created to make
Prakriti (manifestation) and man meditated on the
Nam "ONG" - the vibration of the Divine. After this
came Treta Yug when the power of the truth came
to ? , the being became weak and he recited the
Nam "Sohang". Through this vibration he acknowledged
his identity with the Divine which means "I am you".
Thereafter came the Doapar Age when truth was weakened
to ? and man recited "ONG NAMO NARAYANA"; he worshiped
the God in the form. We are now in the Steel Age
- Age of Machine which is represented by a circle,
which is the wheel runs it. Constant vibrations
from that wheel of Cosmic energy give the power
of life movement to this wheel of creation. Now
my dear sweet love, you draw one circle like the
wheel and put another circle like a wheel over it
(wheel over wheel) will make the figure 8 which
according to the Science of Numerology represents
Infinity turned sideways.
Spermatozoa take 8 circles around the egg before
union takes place. There are 26 bones supporting
the human foundation, that is the foot and there
are 26 vertebras in your spinal column: 2+6=8. Therefore,
said the Master, "Whosoever in this Machine Age
will meditate and recite the Mantra which will be
the glory to the Lord and will have 8 vibrations,
will open the lock of ignorance and darkness and
this will liberate the being and will unite him
with the Divine." |
