Prayer to the Four Lights of Creation
Mantra Aum shanti aum brahma Aum shanti aum shiva Aum shanti aum vishnu Aum jaya krishna namaha namaha Free translation “Oh Life, as I receive you in me, allowing you to do your work and thereby supporting me, the love that I then recognize as my essence flows naturally into all my actions.” About the Mahadevata puja
This puja opens you to the four basic forces of your existence: inspiration, relaxation, support and expression. The Sanskrit word mahadevata literally means the most important or greatest gods, but mahadevata is also a name for Krishna, to indicate that Krishna can be seen as the most important aspect of these four. The idea behind this is that the Hindu gods Brahma, Shiva, and Vishnu ((the Creator, Destroyer, and Preserver, respectively) together form life, but also that Krishna symbolizes life in the sense that you let your way of life and your soul go together in practice. The Mahadevata puja allows you to experience these four cosmic directions, as Anandajay likes to call them. As spiritual energies, Brahma, Shiva, Vishnu, and Krishna are four points of orientation that can be used as a kind of thermometer to indicate where you are in the moment between heaven and earth, between support (Shiva and Vishnu: letting go and receiving) and society (Brahma and Krishna: inspiration and love). These energies influence how you live, act, meditate, and relate to others. By using this mantra prayer and the accompanying movements, you can feel how these energies are given space to flow through you and influence the way you live. A special place in this puja is reserved for the moment of Krishna energy. In this puja, you first allow the energy of Brahma to flow through you from above, giving you more freedom to be there. Then you allow the energy of Shiva to flow from your groin to the earth, giving you more freedom to be unburdened in the now. Then you allow the energy of Vishnu to flow through you from the space behind you so that this support gives you more freedom to be who you are here on earth. Once you have allowed these energies to flow through you and you have experienced all of these freedoms, then you open yourself to the Krishna energy. When you allow the Krishna energy to flow freely, it will always make you happy. You open yourself to the loving life energy of your heart. You feel the longing to give this joyful energy to the world because you feel that you love life and your fellow human beings and wish them all the best and sincere peace.
Track 2: Chakra puja
Prayer to the Seven Lights of Existence
Mantra Aum namah muladhara, aum namaha Aum namah svadhisthana, aum namaha Aum namah manipura, aum namaha Aum namah anahata, aum namaha Aum namah vishuddhi, aum namaha Aum namah ajna, aum namaha Aum namah sahasrara, aum namaha Free translation “Oh Lotus flower of eternal existence, longing, strength, love, refinement, wisdom, inspiration, I gratefully accept you.” About the Chakra puja
The Chakra puja is a puja to find peace with your birth as a human being. It sings of the most important energies available to you as a human being to experience life. The puja invites you to use these energies to gratefully accept your birth and to explore your human potential and the value of your existence. Feel them, greet them, honor them through the mantra and accompanying gestures, and they will serve you with their openness and values, so that together they give your experience of being more freedom. In this prayer you connect to the seven most important and recognizable chakras, starting from your pelvic floor, which you respectfully greet with the mantras and accompanying gestures. With the first mantra you greet the Muladhara or base chakra, the essential value of that which gives you stability, a foundation and the space to be during your existence on earth. The second mantra greets Svadhisthana, your "own residence or dwelling place" - the place within you where you repeatedly experience and rediscover the most unique aspects of yourself, where you truly feel at home. The mantra of this chakra is a respectful greeting to the essential value of that which gives you authenticity, essence and vitality during your existence on earth.
