Length: 11 minutes Recommended: do this meditation for 40 days each day (without missing a day). The effects (to remove blocks from your life) will be more permanent

A famous story about this mantra explains its effect: Guru Arjun, born in 1563 in Amritsar, India was the fifth spiritual teacher and guru of the Sikhs and a great poet. As he was writing the Sukhmani Sahib, the 2,5 hr long poem for which he is maybe most known, he got stuck at a certain point and did not know how to go on.

So he went to the only person, who he thought might be able to help him, Baba Siri Chand, the son of of the first guru of the Sikhs. Baba was very old and venerable and had a great reputation among all the schools of yoga after practising for more than a hundred years.

When Guru Arjun came with his request he gave him this mantra "ad sach jugad sach haibhay sach nanak hosi bhay sach". And he told him this mantra can remove any blocks from your life and everything shall start flowing again. Guru Arjun incorporated this mantra immediately in the Sukhmani Shahib and was able to finish it without difficulty.

Please note: there exists also a (maybe even more well known) mantra "ad sach jugad sach haibhee sach nanak hosi bhee sach" but this mantra has another effect.

vocals: Satya Singh, Tina Orth, Toobysam, Regy Clasen melody: Satya Singh

akhan jor chupay na jor no power to speak or be silent jor na mangan den na jor no power to beg or to give jor na jiwanmaran na jor no power to live or to die jor na raj mal man sor no power to rule or enlighten the mind jor na surati gian vichar no power to meditate jor na jugati chhutai sansaar no power to get liberated jis hath jor kar vekhai soe the divine has all power and knowledge nanak uttam nich na koe Nanak says nobody can be good or bad by their own power



This mantra is the 33th Pauri (Verse) of Japji, the long poem written by Guru Nanak in the 15th century. It describes a philosophical perspective on life and suffering that can overcome all fear. It is the vision of Vedanta, according to which all that is, is moved not by its own will, but by the one power (the Ek Ong Kar) that moves through all and moves all as if we were fingers of one hand. When misunderstood, this idea can lead to passivity. But when it is deeply felt, it can bring great trust, relaxation and the end of all fear.

There are several ways to do this meditation: 1. In easy pose, the hands in Gyan Mudra, sit and chant this mantra daily for 11 min. 2. with movement: akhan jor chupay na jor bring your hands in prayer pose from the heart center to the third eye jor na mangan den na jor bring your hands from the third eye to the navel point in a begging cup jor na jiwanmaran na jor bring the hands in lotus mudra (balls of hands together, thumbtips and tips of little fingers together, all fingers spread) jor na raj mal man sor bring your hands in a triangle in front of the third eye, the palms facing out, the thumbs and index fingers touching) jor na surati gian vichar bring your hands in gyan mudra (thumbs and index fingers together, other fingers straight) on the knees jor na jugati chhutai sansaar crossing the lower arms in front of the heart make a complete circle outwards, the hands stay in gyan mudra jis hath jor kar vekhai soe continue into a second circle until the arms are at 60° over your head, the fingers stretch. nanak uttam nich na koe bring the hands back to the middle of the chest in gyan mudra. 3. For advanced: Try to chant each cycle of the mantra on one breath. Vocals: Satya Singh, Toobysam, Tina Orth, Judith Günzelmann, Jan Darmstadt Melody: Khalsa Jetha This meditation is know as "Brahm Sargam", the Scale of the Divine. The mantra consists of the basic sounds of the Indian scale: Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Da Ni Sa merged with the mantra Sa Ta Na Ma. This meditation improves your relationship to sound and the sound of your voice, and it will improve the melody and precision of your communication. With advanced practice you will start hearing the sound of this mantra in the sushumna, the central energy channel in the spine, where the kundalini moves. Mastery of this meditation through prolonged practice will bring Vac Siddhi, the Power of the Word. Then whatever you say, will manifest. This meditation was used in India by the Ragi`s, the sacred musicians. It is part of the Brahm Vidya, the science of the divine, which the sages left for humanity.



Posture: Sit in easy pose, the hands are in Gyan Mudra (fingers straight, thumbtips touch the index finger). As you meditate concentrate on the points on your back corresponding to: Sa first chakra (coccyx) Re second chakra (sacrum) Ga third chakra (navel) Ma fourth chakra (heart) Pa fifth chakra (throat) Ni sixth chakra (Lower edge of the skull) Sa (back of the head, the memory point) Ta (upper fontanel, the solar center) Na (foreward fontanel, where the prana leaves when you die) Ma (between the eyebrows) Length: 3, 11 or 31 minutes It is recommended to do this meditation for 40 days, without missing a day so the effect will be more premanent. Tip: If you do this meditation in a group, it is fascinating to choose a partner and listen with your ear on his or her back just under the shoulder blade. You will hear a beautiful rising and falling sound. This is the sound of the universe. Vocals: Toobysam, Regy Clasen Arranged: Toobysam Ham means "I am", Dam is the breath, Har is the divine," together that translates as: "I am the breath, I am divine". This mantra is often used in Kundalini Yoga with dynamic exercises. A great example of this is the exercise series that Yogi Bhajan gave July 16, 1984, called "Strong and True":



1. Archer pose Your left foot is pointing forward, the right one is turned outwards in a 45° angle, the hips aligned with the legs. The left arm is stretched forward as if holding a bow. The thumb of the left hand points upwards, the concentration is on the pink half moon on the thumbnail. The right hand pulls back as if pulling on the string of the bow until you feel a tension in the middle of your chest. In this posture you start moving your left knee about twenty centimeters back and forth (the maximum forward position being above the left big toe), chanting Ham Dam Har Har Har Har Ham Dam. After 3 min. change sides for another 3 min. with the right foot forwards. 2. Cow pose On you hands (shoulderwidth) and knees (as wide apart as your hips), wiggle your trunk, your head and your hips, rotate you body, and move your spine in all directions. 7 min. Continue the Ham Dam Har Har Har Har Ham Dam. 3. Prayer pose Sit in easy pose, with your hand firmly pressed together in the middle of your chest. Pump the navel with normal breath. 1 min. To this last exercise play track 5. of the CD: "I am the Beloved" Relax on your back (with the sound of a gong or continuing "I am the Beloved") Waking from the relaxation do a left and right cat stretch (holding the shoulders on the floor stretch your knee down to the opposite side), massage your face with the legs lifted at 60°, massage your temples with your wrists, hold your knees to your chest and stretch and rock up to a sitting position.

Vocals Ham Dam Har Har: Satya Singh, Toobysam, Tina Orth, Judith Günzelmann Melody Ham Dam Har Har: Satya Singh

am the beloved I am love itself I am the divine beloved I am love I am never separated Hold me close, oh my love For I am love itself

This chant for relaxation and meditation on the heart center is based on the poem Love / Piaar by Yogi Bhajan (Furmaan Khalsa p. 133). For an example how to use this, see the text to Ham Dam Har Har.

Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo This mantra translates with: Ong Cosmic Energy Namo I greet Guru the path from Darkness (Gu) to light (Ru) Dev divine, transparent, elevated Namo I greet "I greet the cosmic energy and the divine path that brings me from darkness to light."

This is the Adi Mantra, the primal Mantra. With this chant we start every Kundalini Yoga class by tuning in to the Golden Chain, the chain of teachers and students that links us to each other and to the divine orgin of our yoga.

Ad Gureh Nameh I greet the primal (ad) wisdom (gureh) Jugaad Gureh Nameh I greet the wisdom of all ages (jugad) Sat Gureh Nameh I greet the true (sat) wisdom Siri Guru Deveh Nameh I greet the greet the great elevated (siri) wisdom

This mantra is called the "mangala charan" mantra and is usually combined with the adi mantra to give protection to the class. To enhance the protective effect, chanting Ad Gureh Nameh you visualize a golden, protective wall to your left, at Jugad Gureh Nameh behind you, at Sat Gureh Nameh to your right, and at Siri Guru Deveh Nameh in front of you. You can chant this mantra in every situation where you need protection.

The song "May the long time" which we give you on the CD in two different versions as well is an affirmation and prayer. It is used in Kundalini Yoga at the end of every session.
