everything. By meditating on this mantra, very pleasing manners and
a beauty comes on you. Along with that comes peace, which constantly
works in your eyes; and the words you speak are all filled with that
power of love.

broke the duality and made you to have a complete one-pointed mind.
Whoever has that oneness of mind and single-minded devotion will
achieve everything.

Kapila (red) means that you are able to give colour therapy. You
are able to create colours around yourself and around others, soak
them in that colour and heal them. As per the mantra you create, so

comes true. There is a wish-cow inside you. Whatever you wish,
especially for curing others, comes true instantly.
- Aum Gajakarnikaya Namah
The ears of Ganesha, the elephant - god, are constant fanning,
which means people can talk a lot, but you are not receiving inside
anything other than what is important. It also means that you can
sit anywhere and tune this celestial tube (the body) with seven
channels (chakras) and all 72,000 nadis, to any loka and be able to
hear ancestors, angels, the voice of God or the voice of prophets.
That kind of inner ear you will develop through this mantra.
- Aum Lambodaraya Namah
This means you feel that you are this universe. It means that all
the celestial bodies are within you. Like an entire tree is in the
seed, the whole universe is in the sound of creation, which is Aum,
and that Aum consciousness in you makes you feel that you are the
universe. Therefore, if you say, realizing the oneness with the
universe, "shanti to the world" every day, then the grace
of God will come and there will be world peace, universal peace. It
is the universe within Aum and Aum within you.
- Aum Vikataya Namah
This means realizing this world as a dream or a drama. When you are
in that high consciousness, this whole world looks like a dream. All
of us have taken a role. We have to play our role in life as wife or
husband or children or citizens, all consistent with the role we
have taken. When an actor bitten by a sponge cobra that is brought
on the stage falls, the entire audience cries; but that boy who has
fallen knows it was not a real cobra and he is not dead. Life is a
drama --definitely life in this material world, this physical world
of ego, is a drama. But inside, like the boy on the stage who is
quite happy knowing that he didn't die by the bite of the sponge
cobra, like that, the truth never dies in us; it is immortal. So
everything else you consider as drama. That consciousness comes to
you by knowing this mantra.
- Aum Vighna Nashanaya Namah
This mantra invokes the Lord Ganesha to remove every hindrance in
your life and in your works. By constant meditation on this mantra,
all obstacles and blocked energy in your physical and cosmological
bodies are released.
- Aum Vinayakaya Namah
Vinayaka is the name of Ganesha in the golden age. So by realizing
this mantra, your life will have a golden age. In your office, in
your work, you'll be the boss. Vinayaka means something under
control. Vinayaka means the Lord of resolving problems.
- Aum Ganadhyakshaya Namah
This mantra is very important. Suppose you have a group, a country,
neighbours, or any kind of group therapy, group healing or a whole
country requiring healing, then you have to bring that entire group
to your mind's arena and say this mantra. A group healing takes
place by this mantra.
- Aum Bhalachandraya Namah
In Sanskrit, bhala means the forehead center. Chandra means the
crescent moon. Bhalachandra means that chakra from where the nectar
drips. That is the secret of all healing. It is to feel yourself as
Shiva, identifying yourself with the Truth and feeling constantly
that you are carrying the crescent moon, the symbol of growth and
nectar of peace.
