Benefits of Chanting and Japa — Part 2

You can develop more devotion

This second talk in the four-part japa series focuses on using japa (chanting) to increase devotion and concentration, allowing deeper absorption in Spirit. Explore the different levels of awareness that can be realized through chanting. Use japa to become superconscious, awakening the kundalini and experiencing the joy of pure Spirit.

Leading You Beyond the Mind

Meditation leads beyond the mind. It can lift your awareness to the serenity of the buddhi, where you’re peacefully witnessing the mind, or it can reveal mahat, a sense of oneness with everyone. It can also reveal prema, a love for God so strong that you transcend body awareness. The key meditation is the realization I am Spirit. You realize that beyond the form, beyond the sound, beyond this sense of self, buddhi or mahat, is the awareness of Spirit.
