Product Description
by Stephen Knapp (Author)
There are certain channels through which the higher spiritual frequencies become approachable by humanity, and by which the Infinite descends into this world. One channel is through transcendental sound. The Hare Krishna Maha-mantra is one such channel of pure spiritual vibration. The mantra is therefore a point of meditation for the mind, but also a formula or transcendental sound vibration that releases its energy into one's consciousness. Thus it can prepare a person for perceiving higher states of reality. With continued practice with this mantra, and with the proper devotional mood, the mantra can uplift our mind in many ways, help us rise above bad habits and thought patterns, and can even reveal the Absolute Truth to the practitioner. It can also show one's own spiritual identity and relationship that you have with the Supreme Being. Additional topics in this book include: How Mantra-Yoga is a necessity for this age. How to chant Om properly. How the Maha-mantra works and what makes it so effective. The meaning and significance of the Maha-mantra. How spiritual realization can be attained through chanting the Maha-mantra. The great good fortune of those who chant the Maha-mantra, and the bliss found in chanting it. How to attain the spiritual world through the Maha-mantra. How to practice the chanting of the Maha-mantra to release its fullest potential. This book will help open the spiritual possibilities as well as bliss that you can attain through the simple process of chanting the Hare Krishna Maha-mantra.
