Precious Giving Teacher Of All Things,

I have noticed that after yoga class sometimes you merge into what sounds like a cascade of chants or mantras or prayers or something…can you tell me more?

For all the decades of your Giving, Loving, and Devotion to dweebs like me trying to move Higher…

your endless student RM

COACH RESPONDS:

Most Precious Shishya RM,

ilg does inDeed merge into my cascade of Mantra chains at times after class…it’s kinda like my way of re-entering the Outer World after attempting to teach, impart, and Transmit the Dharma through the most feeble Conduit of the Divine ever created;   ilg.    the Mantras that you hear are ones with which i’ve worked deeply with over the decades, each one like a shining Jewel from the Teacher, Master, or Guru whom imparted/Transmitted it to me…

one of the Mantra’s you probably hear within my Mantra Chain is this one:

Om Hraum Mitraya

  • Om Hraum Mitraya Namaha (2x)

    Om Eim Saraswatiyei Namaha (2x)

    Language: Sanskrit

  • Translation:

    May the light of friendship shine

    through me, drawing noble

    companionship.

    Om and Salutations to the

    feminine Saraswati principle.

    I know the way you can get
    When you have not had a drink of Love:

    Your face hardens,
    Your sweet muscles cramp.
    Children become concerned
    About a strange look that appears in your eyes
    Which even begins to worry your own mirror
    And nose.

    Squirrels and birds sense your sadness
    And call an important conference in a tall tree.
    They decide which secret code to chant
    To help your mind and soul.

    Even angels fear that brand of madness
    That arrays itself against the world
    And throws sharp stones and spears into
    The innocent
    And into one’s self.

    O I know the way you can get
    If you have not been drinking Love:

    You might rip apart
    Every sentence your friends and teachers say,
    Looking for hidden clauses.

    You might weigh every word on a scale
    Like a dead fish.

    You might pull out a ruler to measure
    From every angle in your darkness
    The beautiful dimensions of a heart you once
    Trusted.

    I know the way you can get
    If you have not had a drink from Love’s
    Hands.

    That is why all the Great Ones speak of
    The vital need
    To keep remembering God,
    So you will come to know and see Him
    As being so Playful
    And Wanting,
    Just Wanting to help.

    That is why Hafiz says:
    Bring your cup near me.

    For I am a Sweet Old Vagabond
    With an Infinite Leaking Barrel
    Of Light and Laughter and Truth
    That the Beloved has tied to my back.

    Dear one,
    Indeed, please bring your heart near me.
    For all I care about
    Is quenching your thirst for freedom!

    All a Sane man can ever care about
    Is giving Love!
