The Power of Mantra

A mantra grants mental power and strengthens will, especially when focused on a desired manifestation. It purifies mind and consciousness, burning away sin and forming a protective light. Those who possess a mantra are most fortunate. This personal treasure acts as a torchlight in darkness and a staff in a wild forest. It is a bestowed blessing that multiplies with use and cannot be stolen. You will become an example as consciousness awakens. Therefore, always repeat and utilize your mantra.

"Mere to Giridhara Gopāla, dūsarā na koī..."

"Keep it in your heart, in your left pocket."

A mantra gives you mental power and strengthens your willpower. It is especially when you think of something and wish for it to manifest that the power of the mantra works for you. Before an examination, you should repeat your mantra; then the questions will become easier. In life, many situations arise before us. We face circumstances where we do not know what to do. Yet, hope and success reside in your mantra. The mantra purifies your mind and your consciousness. It cleanses your mind and burns away all sin. The mantra becomes a protective light around your entire being, like a bodyguard. Throughout the entire universe, those who possess a mantra are most fortunate. And among them, you are also one. Therefore, always repeat your mantra. The great holy Mīrābāī said: "Mere to Giridhara Gopāla, dūsarā na koī..." "I have only Giridhara Gopāla, there is no other." My Gurudev, my Satgurudev, was so merciful. With great compassion and blessing, he accepted me and gave me this mantra. He accepted me as a disciple and bestowed it upon me. I can utilize it as much as I desire; it will not diminish. No thief can steal it. Day by day, it increases more and more. It multiplies. That is the glory of the mantra. You will see, very soon even in Western countries, if someone asks, "Do you have a mantra?" and you say, "No," they will exclaim, "What kind of person are you? My God! She has no mantra. My God, she is not vegetarian." The consciousness in humanity is awakening now. And you will be the example for them; they will follow you. Therefore, always remember: your mantra is your personal treasure. Keep it in your heart, in your left pocket. Let it reside in your heart. A mantra is like a torchlight for walking in darkness. It is like a staff for walking through a wild forest. Therefore, utilize your mantra.
