Moola Mantra

Probably the most familiar version of the Moola Mantra is found in our online Meditation Room, but the following videos contain wonderfully different versions of it.

In the first Sri Bhagavan and Amma are shown giving darshan, and contains other great photos of them...

I loved playing the above upbeat version of the Moola Mantra at the end of my live deeksha events. It was a great way to get everyone up and moving, even dancing, after a wonderfully "enlightening" day of deekshas.

However, if you'd like to have a CD of the more meditative version that's found in our online Meditation Room, you can get a copy of your very own here to play at any time you wish.

Also, the Moola Mantra is chanted live by one of the Oneness University's guides (dasas) in the background of the following video that also features beautiful Amma Bhagavan photos...

The Moola Mantra was given to us by Sri Bhagavan, and chanting it, or merely listening to it, has effected the lives of millions of people. He explained its meaning during a darshan that was taped (and I transcribed below). He said...

The ultimate thing of the universe is what you call Brahman, which is supposed to have three qualities, namely, sat, chit, and ananda.

Its sense of existence is what you call sat. Its conscious intelligence is what you call chit, and its nature is ananda which is bliss. That is why it is normally qualified as sat chit ananda.

God (or Ishwara) is imminent in Brahman. God is power, compassion and love. That is why we refer to God as sat chit ananda parabrahma.

God relates to humans as though God were a human. Hence you call God Purushothama.

This God also manifests within the individual as the Antaryamin, or the Higher Sacred Self. Since the Antaryamin is in everyone, it is called the Paramathma.

The Paramathma manifests as Bhagavati and Bhagavate through Amma and myself.
