It is used to tune in before Kundalini Yoga classes, to centre us in the higher self, and to spiritual guide both the teacher and the students during the class. A Mangala Charan Mantra AAD GURAY NAMEH JUGAAD GURAY NAMEH SAT GURAY NAMEH SIREE GUROO DAYV-AY NAMEH I bow to the primal wisdom I bow to the wisdom true through the ages I bow to the true wisdom. I bow to the great unseen wisdom. You are guided from the primal core and beginning, through every moment of experience and activity, guided in your heart’s deepest truth and being by the unseen Infinity of your highest self. This is a mantra which clears the clouds of doubt and opens us to guidance and protection. It surrounds the magnetic field with protective light. The sunshine song blessing MAY THE LONG TIME SUN SHINE UPON YOU ALL LOVE SURROUND YOU AND THE PURE LIGHT WITHIN YOU GUIDE YOUR WAY ON We send this blessing to ourselves and to our loved ones, communities and world. Bij Mantra SAT NAAM Truth is my identity This mantra is probably the most widely used mantra in the practice of Kundalini Yoga. Sat means truth – the reality of one’s existence. Naam means the identity. It is a bij (or seed) mantra. Within the seed is contained all of the knowledge of the fully grown tree. The essence or seed is the identity of truth embodied in condensed form. Chanting this mantra awakens the soul and give you your destiny. This mantra balances the five elements (tattvas).
