DETAILS OF SATSANG FOR APRIL
Understanding Mantra Sadhana
with Swami Muktibodhananda
April 13th, 6pm EST (April 14th, 8am Australia)
The benefits of incorporating mantra into our sadhana and daily life are manifold. The chosen mantra can act as a constant reminder of our values, goals and/or desired states of being.
The outcomes and effects may be quite different depending on the type of mantra used, whether Vedic or Tantric. Repeating a mantra throughout the day, even briefly, can subtly shift our perspective, helping us navigate challenges with greater equanimity and maintain a positive outlook.
Whether it's our guru mantra or a mantra for compassion, strength, or peace, mantra can empower us to embody these qualities in our interactions and decisions.
During this 75 minute satsang, Swami Muktibodhananda will delve into the use of Vedic and Tantric mantra, offering guidance on when and how to use them depending on what our purpose may be. Participants are encouraged to share their experiences working with mantra as well as ask any questions on the topic.
Ultimately, mantra repetition to cultivate health, inner peace, focus, and intentionality enriches both our meditative practice and overall well-being.
This is a FREE event.
