Bharat Healing Yoga uses power mantras and healing mantras to focus
energy fields. The mantras, powerful in themselves, are an excellent aid for
raising energy levels and vibrations. Some mantras are so strong they can
be likened to fire and they must be used with care. Fire can be a friend or
foe, depending on what you do with it. You may cook your meal with it or
burn your house down. It is the same fire. Similarly, the power mantras
used in Bharat Healing Yoga can have a positive benefit or work negatively
and produce a depletion of energy. These mantras that have both positive
and negative effects, while the most powerful, can only be imparted by a
qualified healing teacher to a student on a one to one basis.
The mantra given here is for healing and is for the use of the public who
would like to try it. It is a well known and effective healing mantra and has
been selected for its beneficial effects.
This is perhaps a long mantra for those just starting with mantras, but it is
offered to you because it is the most powerful healing mantra I have ever
encountered. The very rough translation is, 'Om, Oh most compassionate
Rama please send your healing energy right here to the earth, to the earth
(twice for emphasis.)'
I have seen this mantra completely cure one person, diagnosed with mental
illness and in a locked ward. The psychiatrist said he would never lead a
life on the outside again. In the middle of a 60 day sadhana or spiritual
discipline done on his behalf, he was out of the ward and living in a
'halfway house' for those on the road to recovery. After 60 days he was on
his own. He has since graduated from technical school and is working as a
computer repairer.
A woman was in constant pain for four years. She undertook this
discipline and after just a few weeks was in less pain than at any time she
could remember over the past years. She is still doing the mantra and
expects to be pain free relatively soon.

Jivananda is a simple lifestyle program to make sick people healthy and happy and to
make healthy people healthier and happier.
What is the problem?
The World Health Organization reported that 59 million died worldwide, in 2004, 40%
from preventable diseases, like heart disease, stroke or respiratory problems. These
people died of these preventable diseases despite wealth, nationality or religion. What are
we doing wrong? Living out of rhythm with the rhythms that have nurtured humanity,
and all of nature, for thousands of years.
What is the Solution?
Jivananda is a wholistic lifestyle program that is based on the latest scientific research
and the best of the wisdom from the past. Jivananda addresses the root causes of disease
and their major risk factors: high blood pressure, high cholesterol, Type II Diabetes ,
obesity and lack of regular exercise.
Human life is a combination of Body, Senses, Mind and Soul. Like an owner's manual
for a car or cell phone, Jivananda, is an owner's manual to this human life. We clean and
fuel machines, similarly we must clean and fuel this human machine and it’s parts with
proper solvents and fuel. Jivananda is a simple and effective program that cleans and
fuels the body, senses, mind and soul.
Jivananda targets the health of the lympathic system/immune system with a thorough
exercise routine. Next Jivananda focuses on the proper amount of food (primarily
vegetarian, but not exclusively), the rhythms and manner in which we eat and the
importance of water consumption throughout the day but especially first thing in the
morning.
Jivananda emphasizes the daily cleaning and nourishing of the five senses. The basic
solvent used to clean the senses is water and the substances to nourish the senses are:
sesame oil and ghee(clarified butter.)
For the mind, Jivananda uses slow, diaphragmatic breathing to cleanse and strengthen the
mind. The body, senses and mind benefit from this technique. Additionally, the age-old
medicine of self-induced laughter is used to relax the body and mind completely.
Practiced for 3 minutes, laughter is equal to 10 minutes of rowing and will increase
longevity if practiced on a daily basis.
The program is very simple, but extremely effective. It takes less then 21 minutes a day:
8 minutes for the body (joint exercises), 5 minutes for the senses (cleaning/oiling), 5
minutes for the mind (diaphragmatic breathing) and 3 minutes for the Soul (Jivananda
meditation).
Although the program is complete with the basic 21 minute routine, the Jivananda
program starts upon waking and continues throughout the day including falling asleep.
While at work joint rotations can be employed for aches and pains such as stiff neck and
back. Breathing breaks are used to relax and energize the mind. Limiting coffee and junk
food consumption will add the digestion and immune systems, reducing illness and
disease.
Upon arriving home, a 5 minute vigorous scalp massage serves to relax the muscles of
the head and neck, while stimulating blood flow to the brain. A short 3 minute breathing
break with feet raised above the heart in a laying down position, will reduce blood
pressure and rejuvenate the body, senses and mind.
Eating home cooked meals with family and friends will circulate love hormones that
remove disease and decay automatically. Refraining from violent or negative music and
TV before bed will promote a positive state of mind.
Before going to bed, mentally reviewing what things you are grateful for will further
relax the mind and enable a restful sleep. Lastly, gently reminded yourself that I am a
Soul , and I am Happy, Healthy, Wealthy and Fearless, will connect you to your true
identity.
For the best results, practice Jivananda for one month. Allow for 1 day off a week. But,
commit yourself to the process. Make an experiment. See if you notice a feeling of
strength, vitality and happiness coming back into your life. Modern science has shown
that it takes 21 days to establish a new habit, one that becomes automatic for the body
and mind.
If you are overweight, have high blood pressure, or are border-line diabetic give
Jivananda a chance. If you are feeling healthy and happy, give Jivananda a chance to
enhance your feeling of health. Add Jivananda to your favorite exercise/yoga/meditation
practice and feel the increased benefits of your practice.
Jivananda is for all ages, in all countires around the world. The exercise routine can be
practiced standing up, in a seated posture, on the floor and in a mixed manner. Jivananda
is for all ages and body types.
Remember the purpose of this human life is to enjoy and do positive things towards
ourselves, others and the environment. A healthy person is one who body, senses, mind
and Soul are joy-filled, and whose life benefits those around him or her.
Take the Jivananda challenge. Practice Jivananda for one month and feel the difference.
We at Jiva guarantee that no matter how you are feeling now, you will feel remarkable
healthier and happier after one month of Jivananda, so much so, that you will want to
practice Jivananda for the rest of your life.

expects to be pain free relatively soon.
Rough Translation: 'Om and salutations to the remover of obstacles for which
Gum is the seed.'
The story of Ganesha is found in the chapter devoted to this principle. But for
your immediate need, you need only know that for seen or unseen obstacles
which seem to be standing in the way of your progress or achievement, either
specifically or generally, this mantra has proved invaluable. It has been used it
with great success not only in India, but here in the West dozens of people have
related to me their success in turning things around in their life by using this
mantra.
Rough Translation: 'Om and salutations to that feminine energy which bestows
all manner of wealth, and for which Shrim is the seed'
This mantra has not only been used for the purpose of attracting prosperity, but
also for drawing in proper friends, clearing up family misunderstandings and
quarrels, and smoothing some health problems. As we all know, there are many
different kinds of wealth. As you use this mantra, focus on the kind of wealth
you wish to manifest in your life.
Rough Translation: 'Om and Salutations to that feminine energy which protects
from all manner of negative influences, and for which Dum is the seed.'
Durga is the Divine Protectress. Typically shown riding a lion or a tiger, Durga
has a hundred arms, each with a different weapon of destruction. Yet her face is
exquisitely beautiful to behold. The interpretation is that to the pious and the
sincere seeker after truth, her sight can produce ecstacy and a variety of
beautiful forms. But the negative, harmful or demonic, her countenance is as
terrible as Kali, except she shows more weapons of destruction than Kali (who
is described later).
Rough Translation: 'Om and salutations to that feminine energy which informs
all artistic and scholastic endeavor, and for which Eim (pronounced I'm) is the
seed.'
Saraswati holds a musical instrument, the vina, in one hand and a rosary in
another hand. She spans the world of mundane knowledge and spiritual
understanding. Those pursuing any artistic or educational endeavor whatsoever
will gain greatly from the practice of this mantra.
This mantra has no approximate translation. The sounds related directly to the
principles which govern each of the first six chakras on the spine...Earth, water,
fire, air, ether. Notice that this does not refer to the chakras themselves which
have a different set of seed sounds, but rather the principles which govern those
chakras in their place. A very rough, non-literal translation could be something
like, 'Om and salutations to that which I am capable of becoming.' This mantra
will start one out on the path of subtle development of spiritual attainments. It
is the beginning on the path of Siddha Yoga, or the Yoga of Perfection of the
Divine Vehicle.
Rama: Om Sri Rama Jaya Rama, Jaya, Jaya Rama
Rough Translation: 'Om and Victory to Rama (the self within), victory, victory
to Rama.'
Rama was an Avatar who came several thousand years ago. His sole purpose
was to show how a person should live a Divine Life while living in a human
body. A short story about the esoteric meaning of his life is found in the chapter
devoted to him. You will recall from the previous chapter that Mahatma
Gandhi practiced this mantra for over 60 years. This mantra will 'take one
across' the ocean of rebirth. In a more immediate way, it is most powerful in
reducing negative karmic effects no matter in which life they might have
occurred. I have also had a powerful spiritual healing experience (for another
person), while using this mantra intensely.
Rough translation: 'Om and salutations to the presiding spirit in the planet
Saturn.'
Rough translation, 'Om and salutations to the son of Shiva, who brings
auspiciousness and who is chief of the celestial army.'
The positive effects of this mantra may not be so clearly seen or described as
some of the others: a seeming increase in good fortune or luck; the ability to
make the best of a set of circumstances which may occur; an increase in
positive mental or emotional disposition; an easier route to becoming
physically fit. Yet these few phrases do not begin to exhaust the benefits of
using this mantra. It seems to brighten or optimize nearly everything in life.
This is a long mantra to put in a chapter for those just starting off, but is placed
here because it is the most powerful healing mantra I have ever encountered.
The very rough translation is, 'Om, Oh most compassionate Rama please send
your healing energy right here to the earth, to the earth (twice for emphasis.)'
I have seen this mantra completely cure one person from a schizophrenic break
who was in a locked ward. The psychiatrist said he would never lead a life on
the outside again. In the middle of a 40 day sadhana done in his behalf, he was
living in a 'halfway house' for those on the road to recovery. After 40 days of a
spiritual discipline done on his behalf, he was on his own. He has since
graduated from Art School which he attended on scholarship, and is working as
an artist.
Another individual who was on medication, took off spurning his pills and
disappeared for a time. After a 40 day sadhana done on his behalf, he had
stabilized his life and was back on his medication without complaint.
A woman I know was in constant pain for four years. She undertook this
discipline and after just a few weeks was in less pain than at any time she could
remember over the past several years. She is still doing the mantra and expects
to be pain-free relatively soon.
Although the mantra is long, it is simple to say phonetically. If you can, say it
108 times in a sitting. If you are just starting out, this may initially take up to
one hour. After you are comfortable with the mantra, it will only take you 30
minutes.
This mantra is practiced more than any other in the world. It is pre-eminent in
producing a state of dynamic compassion in the sayer. Dynamic means that this
compassion contains as part of it the ability to powerfully manifest in both
subtle and obvious ways. One of the simple yet profound teachings which
accompanies this mantra is the concept that when the mind and heart become
united, anything is possible. The implications of this simple thought are
staggering. If you want to change the world for the better, this mantra should be
in your spiritual toolbox. For more on this mantra, see the chapter on the Wesak
Festival.
A dedicated group of followers of Kuan Yin use this mantra to invoke her as an
emanation of Avaloketeshwara, while others use the mantra Namo Kuan Shi
Yin Pu Sa.
Getting Started
Start by picking some aspect of your life you wish to improve or some vexing
problem you would like to solve or dissolve. Then pick a mantra which seems,
to you, to apply. Offer a prayer to God, in whatever way you relate to God. Ask
for God's blessing in accomplishing your objective in doing this spiritual
discipline.
Once you have decided to undertake the discipline and offered your prayers,
then pick a place where you will say your mantra for a certain number of times
each day. If possible, obtain a rosary of some kind and do your mantras in some
multiple of 108. If getting a rosary is not possible, then decide on a certain
amount of time you will spend each day saying your mantra. It can be five
minutes, ten minutes, twenty minutes or even an hour. For your first
experience, any time up to twenty minutes is advisable.
The reason for taking things easy for the first 40 day commitment is due to the
cumulative action of the mantra. For the first few days, all will probably go
smoothly. Then as you progress, you may find that things start to get in the way
of your doing the discipline: You oversleep; there is some minor emergency;
you get a cold, whatever. This means that you are beginning to effect the inner
'something' for which you undertook the mantra. You are beginning to
encounter inner resistance. That inner resistance manifests as outer obstacles to
your discipline. It has almost become a joke in many spiritual circles in which
the practice of mantra is common, that something of a very surprising nature
happened on day 33 or 35 of a 40 day sadhana. It has happened to me and many
others with whom I have spoken on innumerable occasions over the last 22
years.
This universal healing prayer, which is set to a healing classical tune, can
purify the aura and consolidate your mental projection into a one-pointed
positivity towards yourself and your health. Listening to it helps
rebalance the entire auric circulation and gives you a sense of security
that activates your self-healing capacities. A consistent listening or
chanting practice becomes impressive enough to permeate the
subconscious, which in turn automatically influences the conscious mind.
Then it becomes a part of one's deep intuitional conviction.
When sound takes place in the external plane, it becomes "A", which
represents manifestation. The first part of the mantra expands toward
heaven. By repeating the sound SA as a turning point, it causes the spirit
to descend from above into matter in order to animate and vitalize it with
healing and life. In other words, the second part of the mantra brings the
healing qualities of the superior world back down to the Earth.
The last stanza of the emerald tablet from the great Hermes
Trismegistus, which reveals the secret of healing and order in the
material plane, is followed in this mantra. It reads, "Ascend with great
sagacity from Earth to heaven, and then again descend to Earth, and
unite together the powers of things superior and inferior. Thus you will
obtain the glory of the whole world and obscurity will fly away from you.
The secret is adaptation, transforming one thing into another thing."
HUNG is the infinite, vibrating and real. Hung suggests Hu, which is the
life of God in every thing and every being. The "ng" causes the sound in
Hung to stimulate the divine glands. The sound of the breath is So Hung.
The inhale is So and the exhale is Hung. The two qualities of So Hung
together mean "I am Thou".
As you chant this mantra, you expand toward the infinite and merge back
with the finite. Most people have forgotten that their essence is with the
infinite, unlimited creative power of the cosmos. When a person goes
within himself and consciously experiences his own beauty, he touches
his Divinity. Then he can reunite his destiny to his highest potential.
In the words of Yogi Bhajan, Master of White Tantric and Kundalini Yoga,
who openly taught this healing mantra to the Western world, "It has
worked for three thousand, four thousand years, why should it not work
now?" This mantra is a pure divine thought. When you think pure
thoughts and are mentally strong, you cannot suffer the painful effects of
bad karma or disease. A regular practice of listening to this CD or
chanting along with it is like praying unceasingly. When you continuously
pray and meditate, you go into the land of Light, where all troubles
disappear. View all CDs in our Healing Beyond Medicine Meditation Music

Sanskrit Healing Mantra
I found this mantra in the book, HEALING MANTRAS, by Thomas Ashley-Farrand. Thomas
knows more about mantras than any other American. His website is:
www.sanskritmantra.com I recommend his books and his CDs. I've been saying this mantra
for five years.
I'll write it in Sanskrit. Then I'll write it as it should be pronounced. Last, I'll give you a rough
translation in English. It's a mantra imploring the healing help of Rama, and it goes like this:
Om Apa-damapa, Hataram Dataram, Sarva Sampadam, Loki Bhi Ramam, Sri Ramam,
Bhuyo Bhuyo Namam-yaham.
Pronounce it like this,: Om, of course, is pronounced like the "ome" in "home."
Om. O most compassionate Rama. Please send your healing energy right here to the Earth,
to the Earth. Salutations.
Thomas Ashley-Farrand says that this is THE most powerful healing mantra, and he knows
them all. Let me quote him: "I am aware that this mantra is long, but I teach it even to
beginners because of the tremendous healing power it produces. I have found that those
who are desperate for healing, learn it without difficulty, and many have had extraordinary
results."
If you say it a dozen times or so, you'll hear the internal rhymes. It's not hard to learn.
I say another short and powerful healing mantra every day when I walk on the beach. It's a
healing mantra to the Deva of the Sun. It goes like this:
Om Arkaya Namaha
It's pronounced like this:
Om R-kye-yah, nahm-ah-ha
And it means...."Om and salutations to the Shining One who removes afflictions
I'm a big believer in mantras. I hope this information opens a door for you.
Blessings,
Owen
Healing Prayer
We feel that healing prayer deserves special attention even though it’s essentially
a prayer of supplication. Not surprisingly, there’s a great deal of interest in healing. That
interest began early in the history of mankind and only intensified with Jesus. Since then,
it hasn’t let up for more than 2000 years.
Just to be clear, right now we’re talking about healing prayer that individuals or groups of people can
do. There is a more formal approach to healing prayer, sometimes called formative prayer, which we’ll
discuss later in this section. It involves trained facilitators who frequently work in conjunction with
traditional counselors, doctors, etc.
Healing prayer can be effective for physical issues, mental/emotional issues, and
spiritual issues. Too often, people are looking for only the instantaneous and complete
healings that Jesus performed. To be sure, those kinds of healings still occur today. But
they seem to be just as rare now as then. It’s more common to see gradual healing, often
in conjunction with traditional healing methods like medicine, surgery, and
counseling. Just keep in mind that healing is the work of God, done by His will. No one
can control it. We can only position ourselves—or others—to receive it, and then
ask. And we should not be surprised if we ask for one type of healing, such as physical,
and receive another, such as spiritual.
In addition to
anecdotal evidence, more
and more scientific studies
are showing the
effectiveness of healing
prayer. Even strangers
praying for someone
produce “beneficial
therapeutic effects.” (See
our Resourcesection for
more information.) The strongest evidence, of course, is personal experience, whether
you participate as the recipient of healing prayer or as an “observer” praying for
someone.
More and more churches are conducting healing services, either as part of their
regular worship or as special services devoted only to healing. Prayer chains spring into
action when needed.
Healing prayer ministries are being formed and expanded. This more formal
approach to healing prayer usually involves trained facilitators and teams of intercessors
to support them. The person being healed meets regularly, usually with the facilitator and
an assistant, similar to regular counseling sessions or appointments with doctors. The
facilitator does just what the title suggests: facilitates an encounter with Jesus. Any
healing that takes place is, of course, done by Jesus. The facilitator and assistant are just
observers, blessed by God to be a part of the process. (For more information, check
our Resources section.)
The issue is far more complex than a splinter in the finger which either is or is not
embedded in the flesh. The interaction of spirit, soul (mind and emotions), and body is
complex and not fully understood. The role of spiritual warfare must be considered. And
finally, there is the will of God, often an unfathomable mystery to us.
However, that doesn’t mean we are to sit there wringing our hands, moaning that
there’s nothing we can do. Nor does it mean we are to passively watch, chalking it up to
God’s will.
God’s will is for us to be whole. That’s the very meaning of the word
‘salvation.’ Jesus came to help restore us to that wholeness. He set an unmistakable
example by healing. And he calls upon us to pray and ask for his help for ourselves and
others.
Because not everyone is healed and because we don’t really know why, there’s a
temptation to come up with explanations anyway. Some favorite scapegoats are lack of
faith and sin. Either on the part of the person not healed or on the part of the person or
people praying for that healing.
Sin could also be an impediment in the same way it gets in the way of our
relationship with God. Again, though, if sin completely prevented healing, then no one
would be healed since we all sin to one degree or another. Where is the threshold?
Nor do we subscribe to the theory that sin always causes affliction. At least not
directly. Sin can contribute, however. Being separated from God through sin can
certainly prevent His healing from reaching us. And sin can give entry to evil
spirits. There’s plenty of evidence that evil spirits can directly cause affliction. How do
we know? The casting out of evil spirits often results in immediate, complete
healing. We don’t believe that’s a coincidence. And even where evil spirits don’t cause
the affliction, they are particularly good at making bad things worse.
In any case, we’re reminded of what Jesus told his disciples in John 9:2-3. The
blind man’s affliction was caused by neither his own sin nor the sin of his parents. It was
there “so the power of God could be seen in him.” That doesn’t mean God caused the
affliction, only that God will use the affliction to show His power and His love, for His
glory.
Which brings us to another reason healing can be impeded: pride. That pride has
two extremes. On the one hand, it can be the determination to use only drugs, surgery, or
counseling to heal, ignoring God altogether. At the other end of the spectrum, pride can
be the exclusive use of prayer, turning aside all other medical technologies available for
healing. God has provided all these tools for our use. It’s foolish not to use all the gifts
God makes available to us.
Just keep in mind the admonition we made in the section about prayers of
supplication. We don't know how big the prayer bowl for a particular healing is, so we
don't know how many prayers it will take to fill the bowl and release God's healing
power. We must simply pray and continue to pray. There are just too many cases of
people being healed after days, weeks, months, and even years of prayer. To stop praying
because we're not satisfied or don't see the results we're hoping for shortchanges God and
all He may be doing behind the scenes, out of the range of our discernment. Faith and
obedience require us to continue to pray, doing our best to align ourselves with God's will
at all times.
1. Listen.
Listen to the person who wants to be healed and listen to the Holy Spirit. Any disparity
between the two needs to be discussed and prayed over. There needs to be clear
understanding of what you are praying to heal. For example, a person complaining about
recurring migraine headaches may actually be suffering from a spiritual issue that’s
causing emotional turmoil which prompts the migraines. Pray for discernment of and the
healing of the spiritual issue.
He won’t push his way in. In his encounters in the Bible, he asked for confirmation first
—what is it you want, do you want to be healed, etc. So invite him in, then ask for the
desired healing. It helps if you can picture the end result desired as already having
happened.
3. Trust God.
This is where our faith is important, to trust that God will do what is best for everyone
according to his will. That may not be the same as our preference. We need to be willing
to accept that.
Most healing is gradual and progressive; some can be instant and complete. Regardless
of what you see and sense, pray that whatever healing has taken place is sealed by God,
so no backsliding occurs.
5. Give thanks.
Of course. That’s another constant that Jesus taught by word and example. Returning to
the picture in your mind of the healing asked for will make it even easier to give thanks,
even if that goal hasn’t yet been reached.
