The Key of Mantra: Transcending Stress Through Meditation and Divine Light

The key to transcending stress is meditation with mantra.

Meditation without mantra shuts one in a closed room, inviting fear. A true mantra is given by a master through a touch on the Ājñā or Sahasrāra Chakra. That touch opens infinite space and instantly dissolves all stress. The master transmits an ancient ṛṣi’s blessing, the Gurumantra, passed unchanged. Yet some masters are hollow vessels, like peanuts emptied by moths—incomplete. The first mantra purifies heart and mind, demanding sweet and loving speech. The body is a vessel; when full of balance through mantra, thoughts become harmonious. The second mantra begins: Śubhaṁ karoti kalyāṇam ārogyaṁ dhana sampadā. It invokes auspiciousness, health, and prosperity. It continues: śatru buddhi vināśāya, destroying hostile thoughts in one’s own intellect. As hostile thoughts are purified, the light of wisdom, Dīpa Jyoti, shines. This light is Paraṁ Brahma, the Supreme, removing darkness and attachment. The full mantra is: Dīpa jyoti paraṁ brahma dīpaṁ sarva mohanaṁ. Once the master’s touch has implanted the energy, it remains eternally active. Live in this light, walk with light, and all stress will be gone.

"Meditation without mantra is not a path to the end. Those who meditate without a mantra will sooner or later awaken fear."

"When a master gives the blessing, he touches your head. In that moment, the master utters a word, a mantra."

In Alakhpurījī Mahādeva, the Devādi Deva, Deveśvara Mahādeva, Dīpa Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān, Satguru Svāmījī Madhavānandājī Bhagavān of the Satya Sanātana Dharma—our topic is stress. How to live the entire day at our best without stress, without fear, without nervousness. There are many techniques, and there are also therapies, but none of them work. There is only one, and we need a key for it. The key to entering into this bliss is meditation. The key is meditation. Meditation without mantra is not a path to the end. You enter a room with a key, but it is still a room. That means you are imprisoned. The key and the door lead to a small room, but then we enter a large room, yet everything is closed. Meditation is, how shall I say, someone guiding us further. Escorting. Escorting leads us to infinity. Those who meditate without a mantra will sooner or later awaken fear in their hearts and minds. It is very important that someone leads us into the space where those who have been given a key open the door. So it is your teaching, your yoga teaching, or your friend, etc. They show you a path through meditation. That is the key. The door will close again. And you do not have a key to open it again, so that you can go back out into this Māyā. So, you are nothing in the worldly Māyā and also nothing in the Brahmaloka. Meditation has a life and lives something, just as our body lives. There is the Ātma, Jīvātma, and likewise the light of the mantra, the divine name, repetition. It will lead us to our goal. There are several types of mantras, and all are good. But a mantra is our personal Gurumantra, and the Gurumantra is the mantra given to us by our ancestors, the holy divine Ṛṣis, Yogīs, who have placed it in our hands, and we must pass it on just as it is. Who gives you a mantra, giving a mantra alone is not enough. But with mantra, there is a second mantra with a gift, with a blessing. When a master gives the blessing, he touches your head. In that moment, the master utters a word, a mantra. And this mantra is the right mantra. And this touch to the Ājñā Chakra or Sahasrāra Chakra, through this touch of the Master’s hand or finger, this touch has opened infinite space for us. Do you understand nothing? In this moment, the stress, fear, everything is gone. But if you understand nothing and turn back again, then you return once more to your tunnel. You go back through the tunnel, and in this tunnel there is darkness. And at the initiation of the mantra, the touch, it is from that time, from Śiva’s time. It is an ṛṣi who places it into the hand of a master. All of you will become masters one day if you continue. But there are two things: that I am the Master, and that I give you the blessings. Then that means, it is a, what do you call it, peanut, that is pīnāt, peanut, whatever. This is the Master giving a peanut. Inside a peanut, there is a nut; inside this hall, there is a nut. But not yet, the Master plays as the Master. He holds the cave of the peanut in his hand. Peanut. But the nut is not there. The moths have eaten them up, devoured them. And as long as the peanut inside is not yet ripe, not even the seed has begun, then it is not there. So, for example, one says the chickpeas, right? And the moths have eaten everything inside. And you have a handful of chickpeas, but they make noise, yet there is nothing inside. Okay? Is it clear now? So, this glass with water is full. Then it has a different sound. It is full. And where there is noise, it is like that. So, the Master is still here. Not yet complete. So, Mantra. The best Mantra is to begin with the best Mantra for us. This mantra is your own mantra. And indeed, speak, speak with the beautiful, sweet words. But not just on the lips. It must come from the heart. Our speech should be filled with devotion, love, understanding, clarity, and God’s blessings. Always speak with beautiful words. Not even a harsh word to your pet, your dog or your rabbit or whatever. Not even with your animals or birds. You shall not speak a harsh word. Because this negative word means that impurity still remains in our hearts. The first mantra is to purify your heart and your mind. The second is a very beautiful mantra, but in every language, in every culture, there are always beautiful words as mantras. And we say Om Śāntiḥ Śāntiḥ Śāntiḥ... Peace, peace, peace. Or further, these beautiful mantras from the Vedas, Om bhūr bhuvaḥ svaḥ... It is again still water. It already is... Where does it continue? Does it flow into the Danube? No. In the Danube. That is why the water in Vienna vibrates a little. Now I already know what it is that is so beautiful in the Viennese Danube. The Danube is the balance and such a beautiful sound. You know, your water here flows very restlessly, but in Vienna it is so beautiful. And when it comes to Hungary, it is even more beautiful. And so until it reaches the Black Sea. Every time I observe the entire Black Lake, I think it is from the Black Forest and that it extends further to Vienna and Salzburg, which I had not imagined. It is beautiful, that is, there is a wonderful poem, but I will not say it because you would not understand it yet. But they say, when I bring the glass, you see the water and it is completely still. Do not move, just like that. And as soon as I touch and take my hand, it becomes restless. But when it is full, then you do not make any movements, because it is completely full. Then just move your hand like this. Please, would you like to do that? But all the water flows out. And when one has balance, then it is so. And so it is, all the energy flows from Salzburg to the Schwarzenbergsee. Everything is completely calm, beautiful. Every time I fly, coming from India, I see the Black Sea, Georgia, Georgia,... and all of that. So, now, our body is a vessel and this fluid is only symbolic, it is in our brain, from bottom to top. And when you have balance through your mantra, then your thoughts are in such harmony. And whoever does not have this mantra, there is always uncertainty. Once this God, once this God, once this, once that, is not there. So, mantra. Or another mantra. Kalyāṇam viśēṣam śubhaṁ śubhaṁ means all that is positive. All the energy in our body is positive. When a doctor makes a diagnosis in our body, he must not say it is positive. He says everything is negative. When a doctor says it is positive, he means, oh God, nothing positive should come from the diagnosis, only negative. But in the mantra, it is the opposite. Śubham, Śubham means your whole day will be beautiful. Your work, everything you will do, will be good. This is your heart; within your heart, your breath grants you a victory. Through your words, your sound. Śvām is a word, Sanskrit, but its meaning is positive. That is all good. So, whether you speak Hungarian, or German, or Polish, or Mexican, or Sanskrit, it is the same. Peace is peace. We have an Alfred. If there is peace, there is a name, right? Elfriede and Alfred. Alfred is peace, but I do not want to say that about you. So, okay. Let us move forward. Śubhaṁ karoti kalyāṇam karoti, oh Lord, please do this. Please do this. Kalyāṇam, and Kalyāṇam means liberation from these worldly pains, worldly restlessness, and everything that is painful in the worldly world in which we live. Lord, lead us to be one with the divine infinity. Isn’t that a beautiful mantra? Śubhaṁ karoti kalyāṇam. Then turn the key of your car and start driving. Everything will be okay. This mantra is power. You cannot see that stress is awake. Fear is awake. May it bring auspiciousness, well-being, health, and wealth. Health, health, disease, freedom from disease. In former Yugoslavia, they say Rogla. There is a Rogla Hotel and so on. But in our language, it has a somewhat negative connotation. Rogla means sick, who is very ill. Illness, this person is Rogla. He has so many illnesses, maybe cancer or something like that. But that is in another language. What is Rogla in your language, what does it mean, please? Croatians, Slovenians, Brazilians. Yes, but what does Rogla mean? So, Rogala, Roga means illness, Śubham, Karoti, Kalyāṇam, Ārogyam, Ārogya and Rogya, Roga is illness and Ārogya means health. And so in Sanskrit it is, sorry, here we say Pretna, Pretna, yes, or Mahlzeit, or bon appétit, enjoy, yes. So, Ārogya means, we will say, when you have served the food, then the guest or your husband or your wife or someone will say Ārogya. Ārogya means, please eat for your good health. I believe they say that here in Austria as well. Somehow, I heard that. For your well-being. Health. Look, this mantra. The stress is gone. Sorrow is gone. This kind of, yeah. Śubhaṁ karoti kalyāṇam. Ārogyam. Health. Dhana saṁpatti. Then, oh my God, this is it. No matter what it is, how do you say, Lord God, should I tell a joke? A businessman, a true businessman, wants everything no matter what happens; he wants to have his money or so. One day, each of us will pass away; one day, we will not die, we will depart. To Mokṣa. Okay? And our body also dies. Our body, water within water, air within air, earth within earth, and space within space. Okay? That will remain so. No fear. That is, we breastfed the children together. What do you call that? You said the first thing. What was that? Alignment. Yes. So God has brought all of us together perfectly. And then, like children, he becomes God again. Okay, so it is nothing different otherwise. Okay, no fear. So, the greedy businessman, okay, tells the pen, he comes to the gate of the Dharmarāja. Dharmarāja is the God of Justice, the Judge. Yes, the Father will judge. Someone has always sung that, right? Alexander, exactly. And there stands Yama. What does he mean? Death. Death says, stop, you cannot go further. You stand here on the boundary between hell and heaven. So, Dharmarāja said he has good karma, 3%. And he has 97% bad karma. Where would you like to go first? To heaven or to hell? So he said, tell God, for me it does not matter, hell or heaven. See me where I get a few euros more. That is called greed. So God has said, you will not receive more money now. You remain longer in hell. He said, tell God, this is wrong. I am ready to go to hell for my money. And say, I can’t do that. The misery said, no more discussion. In a few seconds, we will kick you into the fire hall. He said, no, that is wrong. I would like to speak a word with God. The Yama says, Lord, he causes such unrest. The dead humans or the souls and animals stand in the great procession, flowing like a river. He said, just one second. I want to speak with the Lord, with God. God said, “Alright then, bring him.” He brings him. God has said, what do you want? He has said, what I desire, I already have now. What does it mean now to go to hell? That is injustice, Lord, injustice. You always say, once God is realized, then it is always, always present; you are one with God. He said, see him in the Mokṣarī. Śubhaṁ karoti kalyāṇam ārogyaṁ dhana sampadā sampadā means prosperity, wealth, and harmony. All is da. Sing this mantra. Not loudly loud. And also not wandering. So it sits in the car. One side is towards the roll. And it says Śubhaṁ karoti. Not that. Many people have no time and eat inside the car. In the car, because one should not eat while driving. Yes, that is a principle. Because now, when you direct, then you are Kṛṣṇa. Yes, and the one who sits as the passenger is Arjuna. Yes? So Arjuna says to Kṛṣṇa, Lord God, please focus, do not raise. All right. Śubhaṁ karoti kalyāṇam ārogyaṃ dhana sampadā. What comes then? Something comes. Enemy intellect destroys enemy... Enemy... is our foe. Our foe. Our opponents. In Greek, you were camp. Camping Camps, yes. Then, on the other side, who is that? This is your enemy, exactly Śatru. Śatru Buddhi. What is the Buddhi? Buddhi is our intellect; Buddhi is our thoughts. Our Buddhi should be completely pure. In Buddhi, one can introduce either negative words or positive ones. Śatru means enemy. Śatru Buddhi Vināśāya. Cheri Störe, this Buddhi onto the Śatru. Now, what does it mean to kill nothing else but my negative thoughts in my Buddhi. Please, Lord, purify my Buddhi so that I may have good thoughts. Do not even think, do not even scold anyone, otherwise your Buddhi will become so negative. So, humbleness, what is it called? Humbleness is nothing easier. Yes, yes,... we are like the grains, the Gokuruṭ grains. And that lies on the hot pan and immediately blows out. After that, popcorn. And so Helga Sachsam was with Heidi. You are like this, Heidi is like popcorn. So, this is our Buddhi. For the destruction of hostile intellect, one thinks of destroying and killing all my enemies. No, no,... no. Our own thoughts, our own intellect, our Buddhi, we must purify them. Those who have good Buddhi speak well, sing well, write well, and speak good things to others. Śatru Buddhi Vināśāya. Oh Lord, who removes all thoughts, all negative thoughts. Śubhaṁ karoti kalyāṇam, ārogyaṁ dhana sampadā śatru buddhi vināśāya dīpa jyotir namas te. When the śatru-buddhi is purified from our thoughts, then the light of wisdom arises. Light of wisdom. Does anyone call it the light of ignorance? No. So, then our clear, good thoughts are the Dīpa Jyoti. So, this is Dīpa Jyoti. Here we have the candle. And this is the Dīpa. And this flame is Jyoti. It has a cohesion. So, this is who we are. And this is our clear, positive thought. Stress is gone. When it is dark, darkness in a room, we turn on the light, what happens? The light is there and within, not even a second loud, the light is there. And so, when our thoughts are positive, everything is beautiful. Dīpa jyotir namas te śubhaṁ karoti kalyāṇam ārogyaṁ dhana sampadā śatru buddhi vināśāya dīpa jyoti paraṁ brahma. And the light, this wisdom is Paraṁ Brahma, the Supreme, the Supreme. Dīpa jyoti paraṁ brahma dīpaṁ sarva mohanaṁ, moha, moha is the darkness, darkness that is moha—attachment, clinging, negative thoughts—but Dīpa jyoti paraṁ brahma dīpaṁ sarva mohanaṁ. The light, these flames, here reaching up to Brahmaloka, will removes all negativity, darkness, fear, anger, sin, everything, joking. The light of the Supreme Brahman shines, illuminating all illusions; the light that adorns everything, the evening light, the all-truth. And so, every day, when the sun sets, we light a candle, a light. Because the light is then everywhere. So, we will go through this mantra. This mantra, the second is your Gurumantra, and the third is eternal; once touched, this energy vibration remains forever in your body, in your thoughts, and in your heart. Whether you practice or not, or this or that, you say I don’t want to, it is already there, exactly, now everything is inside, that is active. And then, that is why it is said, very beautifully, so, the mantra, Om dhyo śāntiḥ antarikṣam, that is a different mantra. Om bhūr bhuvaḥ svaḥ tat savitur vareṇyaṁ bhargo devasya dhīmahi dhiyo yo naḥ pracodayāt Om śāntiḥ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ... Om Dīpa Jyoti Paraṁ Brahma Dīpaṁ Sarva Mohanaṁ Dīpena Sādhayet Sarvam Sandhyā Dīpaṁ Sarva Satyam Śubhaṁ Karoti Kalyāṇam Ārogyam Dhana Sampadā Śatru Buddhi Vināśāya Dīpa Jyoti Namas Te. So let us live in light, live with light, and walk with light. Subject Guru: Śrī Dīpa Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān, Alakhpurījī Mahādeva, Devpurīṣa Mahādeva, Satguru Svāmījī Madhavānandājī Bhagavān, Satya Sanātana Dharma. So we have to proceed; we must attain Satguru Mahācalusa in this. Narabdha, the Natascha of Nippel. She definitely stops. She likes this verse very much. I wish you all the best and see you then.
