Comments:
This beautiful and powerful meditation has a history in its name. The ancient symbol for this was the Hindu God of Knowledge and Happiness, Ganesha. The other name for Ganesha is Gunpati. Ganesha was depicted as a rotund man with the head of an elephant. This huge body balances and rides on a rat, conveying the message that even the impossible can be done with this meditation. The rat represents the quality of penetration. A rat can get in almost any place. So Ganesha can know anything and can get past any blockages. Wisdom and wise choices grant you happiness in your life.The impact of this meditation is to clear the blocks from your own karma. Each of us has three regions of life to conquer: The past, which is recorded in our samskaras and which brings us the challenges and blessings of fate, are balanced by these sounds; the present which must be mastered by karma yoga, the practice of action with integrity in the moment; and the future, recorded in the ether and, which at its best and most fulfilled, is called dharma. This kriya allows you to let go of the attachments to the mind and to the impact of past actions so you can create and live a fulfilled life and a perfect future.Mantra Pronunciation: "Saa-Taa-Naa-Maa Raa-Maa-Daa-Saa Saa-Say-So-Hang" — Yogi Bhajan
