MANTRAPUṢPAM The Flower of Mantras
Water is a sacred element. We understand how vital it is to life. And yet, how often do we acknowledge it, honour it and feel deep gratitude for this gift?
We make things sacred with our attention, intention and consecration. Mantra enables us to easily do that. We transform something common into something sacred.
This Vedic mantras sanctifies water. Water is life. Water is not only a delightful, incredible gift, it is also a representation of the primordial, all powerful, divine creative force. In many indigenous creation myths, primordial water already existed. Spirit then moved upon the waters to create the entire world as the Divine manifest.
Water also represents the unconscious, Prakriti. Similarly what exists in our unconscious we will create. This is the power of Śakti.
For this reason we need practices that illuminate that which is unconscious in us. This allows us to replace what is unconscious with what we want to consciously create.
I chant these mantras over the water I drink, when I am in the ocean, rivers, waterfalls, a lake, my bathtub or even the shower! We can chant these mantras to bless the water that blesses us.
Blessings on our water and on us as creative water beings!
NOTE: After years of private chanting lessons I have come to realise that, for students to chant well, it is imperative that they have a teacher to listen to them and to receive individual feedback and guidance. In this class each student will have the opportunity to be heard. In this way every student has a mini ‘private’ lesson as well as being able to learn by listening to each other.
