Mahakatha's Meditation Mantras

You know what is one of the best comments I came across during our

recent Krishna Katha Janmashtami celebrations? It

was this one person who commented on our live stream

saying, "I didn't have the chance to visit a

Krishna temple today. But through your music, I

went there with my mind. I

think that was one of the most moving comments that

we at Mahakatha received. And it is

more powerful than perhaps even that person realizes.

Let me tell you more about it and introduce

you to another beautiful Krishna Mantra

in today's episode. Namaste, and welcome to

this episode of the Mahakatha meditation Mantras podcast. I'm

your host Preeti. And today, we're talking about the

power of being somewhere just with

your mind. You see, we're not

always where we want to be. For

example, many of us would like to be

in a different place right now, perhaps back home,

perhaps in a bigger home, in a better neighborhood.

Most of us, are not exactly where

we want to be right now.

Similarly, many of us don't always

get to celebrate

occasions and milestones and

success to the extent that we want to celebrate,

in the way that we would love to celebrate. We don't

always get to throw a feast, or

take our families somewhere, or plan something amazing

just for ourselves - as often as we'd like, do

we? We may be limited by our time,

by our resources, by money. And so there

is naturally that feeling of disappointment. Oh,

but I'm not there. I really wish I was there. I really wish I was

at that point in my life where I could do this or afford this.

But then I came across a great example and a great

lesson while I was researching for the

Krishna Katha series. And I found a beautiful

story about the birth of Lord Krishna and something that his

parents did on that night. You see,

Lord Krishna's parents were being held prisoners when he was

born. So it was no place to celebrate. There

was not the slightest scope for the

new parents to even express in words

how overjoyed they were. They had to be

quiet. And even afraid

for their child's life almost immediately. And

so what they couldn't do In real life

at that particular moment, they did

by closing their eyes and visualizing

visiting all the temples they would have loved to visit with their

newborn son, taking the blessings of all the sages and

wise men, that they would have wanted to bless their

son. Throwing a feast and celebrating

with all their family members and giving chariots

and chariots worth of offerings at god's

feet. This was all

only in their minds. While in reality,

they were sitting in fear. Alone

and cold on a dark rainy night

where anything could have happened. And

because they did this incredible act

of visiting places and

doing wonderful things for their child

just with their mind, the gods were

moved. And the couple was instantly

blessed. So perhaps we should try

to do this, maybe even as a fun exercise

to visualize being where we want to

be. To visualize doing all the wonderful

things we dream of doing, but can't do

right now because of our current limitations

However, that shouldn't stop us from

experiencing the same kind of joy, the

same kind of satisfaction, and the same

kind of hope that exists

in visualizing those wonderful experiences

through the eyes of our mind. I think that is

one of the best ways to use our imagination,

to use the creativity of our mind. And if

we look around, our lives are filled with

such portals, filled with such doors

that will take us to all these wonderful places and

experiences through the mind. For instance,

music is something that you can close your

eyes to and travel with. Poetry

is another example. The words written by

someone you will perhaps never meet in your lifetime

can still take you along to a beautiful

place in your past or your future so

that you can derive some joy, some inspiration

from it. Books are another

example. The books we read, the

paintings that many of the Maestros left

us several years ago, looking into

them, reading them, getting lost in them for

a while, are all wonderful ways

to travel, to a place that you want

to be in. But haven't yet reached

in your physical reality. And using

all these mediums, all these portals, using

books, prose, poetry,

art, music can be the basis

of our spiritual understanding. It can

not only help us take a break from our

reality It can also help us set the

foundation to where we want to reach in

life. And become the wind beneath our

wings as we try to get there.

Whether you travel, whether you

celebrate, whether you offer in your

physical form, or your mental

form. The joy and

the inspiration can be the exact

same. So if you

feel limited in your life right now, if you keep

finding yourself wishing that you had more and you could

do more, Then this is the sign

to start spending a little more time doing all

those lovely things. Through the eyes of your mind.

And suited for this exact purpose, let

me introduce you to the Icchapurthi

mantra. This is an ancient Sanskrit chant.

Which is said to invoke the wish fulfilling

powers of lord Krishna.

With this mantra, you can safely close your

eyes and allow your mind to be drawn

to the places that you are waiting to be

in, to the future that you are

working so hard to reach.

So if you haven't heard the Icchapurti Mantra already,

I encourage you to try meditating to this

mantra for a while and allow yourself

to feel a little pampered, a little

accomplished. A little inspired

and happy. Just being there

with your mind. With this intention, You also

now can avail the mantra at a 30% discount.

Simply use the code mentioned in the description.

Do try this mantra and leave me a comment on the

YouTube thread of this beautiful chant.

Here are 2 of the most lovely comments we've received

for the Icchapoorti mantra so far.

The first one says, "This chant is amazing,

and it works. Prayers are being answered, and

everything is working in my favor. Grateful. Thank

you." What a wonderful comment, and

it is so lovely to read comments like these

and know that People across different faiths and

across different cultures are experiencing the benefit

of this divine chant. The second one

says, "It was a bad day for me today. I thought

of doing some meditation instead of breaking down and I

found this video. At the beginning, I was choking

while saying the Mantra. But at the end, I

felt completely relaxed. Thank you so much

for this meditation. Wonderful." This

is so relatable because so many of us have to

go through such days where things just don't seem

to be working in our favor. And especially on

those days, I would love for us to experience

a little bit of divine hope and

divine help through the medium of this

mantra. Thank you so much listeners for

your comments. And I really hope that you try out

this mantra as well. That brings me to the

end of this episode Thank you so much for tuning in and for

staying right until the end. As always, I'm gonna be back with a

brand new episode soon and a brand new mantra for all of us

to enjoy. Until then, stay blessed.
