Sangeet's Message About Tonight's Journey to Brahm Prakash Meditation:
Chanting “Ang Sung Wahe Guru” – the Mantra of Divine Oneness
Dear Friends and Family,
Tonight’s master meditation chant to activate the Journey to Brahm Prakash is Ang Sung Wahe Guru, the mantra of oneness with the Divine. It was given to us by the third Sikh Guru, Guru Amar Das, in the 1500s. It means – I am a limb, a very part of the Divine God who dances in all of my cells.
When discord or chaos happen inside us, or threaten from the outside, this mantra will remove it and put us into a state of utter calm. Kundalini Yoga Master Yogi Bhajan urged us to just repeat it 25 times a day, be that all at once or one mention at a time throughout our day. In some ways it is the equivalent of the English mantra he gave us, “God and me, me and God are one.”
There is so much written about this mantra we could take pages here.
Yogi ji wrote “...If you have put God outside of you, there’s nothing in you, and that’s why you’re suffering. You need a reality that Ang Sang Wahe Guru, with every limb, with thirty trillion cells of you which change themselves every seventy-two hours, God is in you...
“One word I ask you to learn. One line...It will develop intuition in you that you need. It will let you see the unseen, hear the unheard, and know the unknown.”
So many times I have found this to be true: out of chaos will come personal wholeness, sweetness and joy!
Tonight we will do this chant in a very old way he taught us, cycling the mantra sounds, one syllable at a time, up from the lower chakras through the heart chakra, the throat chakra, the Third Eye and finally spinning the sound of “Guru” out the crown chakra up into the heavens. This is all done on one breath. The effect is profound.
As a daily practice it can be done for 11 minutes, 22 or 31 minutes for 40 days. Or one can simply repeat the line 25 times during the day.
This is an important time in our Planetary Numerology – an 11 (Divine) Day in an 11 Month in an 11 Year for Divine growth. The heaven are waiting for us to merge with them!
Bless you all in all ways,
Sangeet
The instructions for doing this meditation are simple:
Asana
Sit on the floor in Easy Pose (legs crossed, hands resting on knees in Gyan Mudra or in lap) or sit in a chair and do your best to keep a straight spine and feet flat on the floor.
Drishti and Pranayam
Ideally the eyes are closed and focused on the Third Eye (between the eye brows). The breath will adjust itself as you chant.
Mudra
Hands are in Gyan Mudra (thumbs and index fingers touch, resting on knees or lap).
Mantra
Ang Sung Wahe Guru
Here's How To Do It
1. Sitting in Easy Pose or in a chair, chant the Adi Mantra (the “Tuning In” mantra) three times.
2. Chant this mantra a capella. On “Ang” initiate the spinning cycle at the navel as the lower three chakras come together.
Then, continuing to spin upward, the sound of “Sung” comes at the heart center. The sound of “Wa” (wha) comes when the cycle has reached the throat, then “He” (hay) comes when the cycle spins through the Third Eyed point.
Finally on the quick sound of “Guru” it spins out the crown into the heavens.
3. Chant for 11, 22, or 31 minutes.
4. To end, powerfully and deeply inhale while raising arms above your head, and hold for 10-15 seconds. Powerfully and deeply exhale. Repeat inhale-hold-exhale once more with raised arms. Then lower your arms to your lap/knees and sit quietly. Feel the vibrations of the mantra in you and around you.
5. Finish by singing the “Longtime Sunshine” song followed by a “Long Sat Nam.”

Compatibility and Support Information for Computers / Smart Phone / Tablets
Please note that on some computers, phones and tablets the video can take up to 60 seconds to start (it is buffering the live video stream).
Video support for mobile devices ("smart" phones and tablets) is often iffy because they use the newer and currently less compatible "HTML5" video instead of "Flash."
Desktop/laptop computers (Windows, Mac and Linux) work best because they come with Adobe Flash Player. Please check that you have a very recent version of Flash. Video support for mobile devices, however, is often iffy. Mac users often have problems with the built-in browser "Safari". Install Google's "Chrome" browser or Mozilla's "Firefox" browser and use either one of those instead. (The difference between those two mostly has to do with privacy -with Chrome, being from Google, you surrender all your privacy [same as using Safari] and Firefox, being from the Mozilla Foundation, you retain much of your privacy.)
Android Smart Phone and Tablet users -In the recent versions of Andriod the built-in browser is called "Chrome." It is most compatible and usually works very well. If the video is not playing correctly, then there is not really anything that can be done other than try a desktop computer if one is nearby -that may work better for you.
Firefox-for-Andriod (free and found in the Google Play store) usually works well. We personally use Firefox-for-Android on our Android devices rather than the built-in brower (for a number of reasons including better privacy and also better compatibility with HTML 5 video). So you might want to give it a try!
iPads and iPhones purchased within the past year or so usually work fine with the video. Older versions often struggle to keep a reliable video connection and there really isn't a way to fix it.
In general, though, if the video stops and there is just a black box without a big "Play" button in the middle of it, "refreshing" your browser usually re-starts the video. Unfortunately, interruptions during live broadcasts are usually unavoidable. However, with the new cutting-edge technology we're using in 2018 combined with you using a computer / smart phone / tablet less than 2 years old can minimized interruptions and in some cases avoid them all together. It is just the nature of this maturing technology, and it will improve in the coming years.
