Re Man Meditation, Recitation of mantra 11,000 times, Golden Aura...

[Guest guest]

Sat Nam. Siri Singh Sahib/Yogi Bhajan left for humanity many ways to be

healthy, happy

and holy. I would like to let you know one of those ways that has been around

since the

1980's but has been just under most people awareness.

 

Recitation of a shabad 11,000 time in one week; kind of like a summer solstice,

a little like

white tantric, perhaps like 3 years of daily mediation gracefully squeeze into 7

days.

 

By God's Grace and a little…lots of practical devotion of a few zestful people a

meditation

course which chants the Guru Gobind Singh, Re-Man Shabad from the Dasam Granth

has

been occurring once a year for the last 5 years.

 

Among the many blessing of chanting this shabad is the " Golden Aura " …as Yogi

Bhajan

said… " like a Golden Buddha " .

 

The course was held the end of February this year in India at the Sri Aurobindo

ashram in

Rishikesh. Over hundred people from all over the world attended; the seniors

from the

Miri Piri Academy have made this their senior project. I had the personal

delight of sitting

next to them in the meditation hall…they were inspiring, a great blend

of…everything you

need to complete chanting 13-16 hours per day for 7 days.

 

I am simple one of many who has attended and is amazed, jubilant and thankful

for having

made the commitment to go...so if you made it this far in reading this post…keep

watch

for information, invitation and PR for next years Re Man meditation course.

 

If you attended 2007 or any other year, add to this post…and…yes, plan your trip

to India

so you have extra time to visit the Golden Temple, shop for shawls and

gems…attend the

International Yoga Festival, maybe one year the course can be scheduled when the

snow

has melted in the lower passes of the Himalayas and we can go to Hemkunt Sahib,

where

Guru Gobind Singh meditated in his previous life as a Rishi.

 

Below is the translation of the Guru Gobind Singh shabad. We chanting using

Baliji

version; Guru Shabad Singh and Snatam Kaur each have musical versions…there are

likely

others.

 

Oh my mind practice yoga in this way.

 

Let Truth be your horn, sincerity your necklace, and meditation the ashes you

apply to

your body.

 

Make self-restraint your harp, and the Naam, the Name of the Lord, your support.

 

Vibrate the strings of the Sound Current, and listen to the sweet sound of the

Lord.

 

The waves of sweet sound bring ecstasy, and through the Songs of the Lord,

spiritual

wisdom arises.

 

The demons and the demi-gods in their chariots are amazed, and the silent sages

are

intoxicated with delight.

 

So instruct your soul, wear the loin-cloth of self-restraint, and chant the name

of the Lord,

even when you are silent.

 

In this way, your body shall remain forever golden, and death shall never

approach you.
