Pavamana Mantra

This Sanskrit chant fosters connection with Truth. We request to be led and connected with that which is real, light, and everlasting. The mantra is repeated three times, followed by a short pause, and then repeated another nine times. There is no introduction or closing, so you are welcome to play this recording during a guided practice – of your own or that you are facilitating for others. Lyrics: Om asato ma sad gamaya Tamaso ma jyotir gamaya Mrityor ma amritam gamaya Om shantih shantih shantih (Lead me from the unreal to the real. Lead me from darkness to light. Lead me from mortality to immortality. Om peace, peace, peace.) Lyric and translation credit: Himalayan Institute
