Mahakatha's Meditation Mantras

Everybody says, don't look at

your phone so much. I agree.

Don't look at your phone.

Look at what's underneath your

phone. Hello, and welcome to a

brand new episode of the mantra

meditation podcast, by Mahagata.

I'm your host, Preeti, and I'm

really happy that you've decided

to tune in to this very special

episode.

Are you trying to figure out

what I meant to say when I said,

don't look at your phone. Look

underneath your phone. Well, let

me say this. Most of us have got

this habit, haven't we, of

checking out our phones,

Whenever we catch ourselves

either in an awkward situation

or whenever we have a minute to

ourselves or Even as soon as we

wake up right until the moment

we fall asleep. Right? We have a

habit of checking our phones.

Now I'm specifically talking

about the moment when we wake up

and the first thing we pull out

from under the pillow or on the

side table is our phones. Now if

that's you, there's nothing to

be ashamed of, and that's

because Looking at a phone

probably reminds you of your

world. It reminds you of the

people who are important to you.

It reminds you of the things

that are lined up for you. It

informs you of things that are

happening around you. Right?

it's your connection to the

world. And you've just woken up

from some dream you've been

having and looking at your

phone, could be your way of

grounding yourself in reality.

Now I know doing it is not ideal

And why you are prone to the

distractions that come with the

phone?

Don't hate yourself for it.

Understand that the act of

looking at your phone,

especially the moment you wake

up, is fulfilling the need for

groundedness.

And once you understand this,

once you understand that at the

core of your need to Constantly

check your phone is a call for

groundedness. Then we can shift

our focus and look at another

way of experiencing groundedness

and experiencing focus without

all the distractions that exist.

on our phone. And that brings me

to the statement I made right at

the beginning of this episode

when I said, don't look at your

phone. Look at what's underneath

your phone. What is underneath

your phone? What is your phone

resting on when you're scrolling

up and down? That's it. It's

resting on your palm. Am I

right? So I indicated Try not

looking at your phone. Try

looking at your palms. And

there's a very specific reason

why I said, look at your palms.

If you do it right now, if you

bring both your palms in front

of your chest, Open them up,

palms facing upwards and hold

them together, little finger to

little finger.

And if you just study your palms

all the way up to your

fingertips, finger by finger.

Something happens. Everything

else fades into the background.

As you focus deeper into the

lines and creases of your hands,

you're able to see minute

details. You're able to focus on

the smallest

visible element of you. of your

body, of your being.

And looking at your hands, will

never be the same experience

twice. You will always find new

lines that you see. new creases

that are formed, new details

that you will spot, those tiny,

fine little details, only you

can spot. in your palms.

Focusing on something as

intricate as detailed as The

blueprint of your hands of your

palms can be incredibly calming

and also meditative. And this

practice of looking at your

palms, the moment you wake up,

is not something that's come up

now, something that's been

recommended or experimented on

right now. It is something that,

in fact, was a part of a culture

centuries

ago. It was a part of the

ancient Hindu culture, in which

the was a daily practice. Now

the meaning Kara, meaning hand,

and Darshanam meaning viewing.

Right? So the was a meditative

practice. in those ancient

times, and they used it for

experiencing groundedness for

expressing gratitude and also

for visualizing whatever they

had their hearts set on. And

there's a beautiful mantra that

goes along with this ancient

practice of looking into your

palms meditatively. And that

mantra is also known as the

Karadarshanam Mantra or the.

Now if you've been a listener of

Mahagata for the past few years

or months, you know that the is

one that you cannot miss because

it is loved and adored

and practiced by so many of our

listeners worldwide that it is

one of our most popular releases

of all time. This mantra,

the has several benefits. Right?

As I said, this is a chant that

can be used to experience

groundedness. This is a chance

that can be used to shift

internally from negativity

towards positiveness and hope.

And lastly, this is a chant that

can help you. focus on and

visualize and ultimately

manifest any desire that you

hold in your heart. This is a

consistent practice that will

take you closer towards your

dreams and goals. And that is

why I have recommended this

mantra to countless people who

are experiencing financial

difficulty, who are experiencing

negativity at home and problems

in family relationships and so

on. Because when you're going

through those difficult times.

What you need the most is

clarity. You need solutions.

You're looking for answers.

You're looking for some sort

of inspired answer. to come to

you. But it won't come to you

when your mind is cluttered and

clogged with worry and fear.

This practice and this mantra is

a way of

unplugging and decluttering the

mind. and focusing on the

outcome that you desire,

irrespective of how difficult

your current situation is, You

focus on the outcome that you

desire how it looks, how it

feels, and through this

practice. You open yourself up

to solutions and answers that

you previously couldn't even

think of. This is the exact

experience

that many of our listeners have

had, and I will share an

experience or 2 with you in just

a few minutes.

But for now, I want you to

experience a little bit of this

mantra. Alright. So I'm gonna

chant the four lines of this

mantra, but I need you to

open your palms the way I

described and just focus on

them. Focus on your palms,

all the way up to your

fingertips, and then all the way

back down to the base of your

palm. alright, throughout

the duration of the four lines

of this mantra. Okay? So here

goes.
