Free translation “Oh creative power, bearer of all change and support of all that lives, I gladly let myself be guided by you as my absolute teacher, with respect and devotion, for you are eternal being.” The mantra is followed at the end by aum sat cit ekaam brahma (wholeness - being - consciousness - one - essence), which loosely translates to: “Being is the only essence that exists.” About the Guru Brahma mantra The Sanskrit root of the word Brahma is brih and means to expand, increase, grow, or enlarge. Brahman symbolizes the sacred, essential and omniscient source from which creative energy emanates. Creative energy is the energy that enables creation, existence and growth. Brahma is the inspirer, the energy that makes life possible, that makes it possible to experience being and that gives that which is the space to expand in whatever way it wants. This energy gives essence to our existence and allows us to experience our presence as souls.

In this earthly paradise, where the river and the forest meet in a cove, the son of Jasoda joyfully mingles his cosmic energy with the enraptured devotee, Radha.” About the Bhaje Bhaje mantra The first phrase of the recitation emphasizes the immense value of what can be experienced in the emotional, spiritual realm of love by using the following words. The word jaya is a joyful invocation of the essential, which is venerable, glorious and liberating. The word radha stands for the loving partner of Krishna and expresses the meaning of perfect, loving devotion. The word madhava indicates that Krishna is a noble being. The word kunja indicates that what is happening here is something special and for the chosen few. The word bihari indicates that this is a great and powerful energy.
Track 5: Sri Ram Embrace song
Experiencing spiritual joy and power
Mantra Sri ram jay ram jay jay raahm Vrije vertaling “Oh power of inner love, from you I can act with integrity and I am protected from negative energy”.
About the Sri Ram Embrace song The Sri Ram Jay Ram mantra is a well-known and often chanted mantra that expresses the source of joy as your life force. It honors this force, it praises this force, and it trusts this joyful energy as the best life force with which to continue on your path through life and to be inspired. This joy, born from within, is a constant guide, source of inspiration, and guarantor of your life, actions, and spiritual awakening. The Sanskrit word sri is used to indicate that the words that follow are of high dignity and deserve respect. The Sanskrit word jay means joy and is used to encourage and celebrate. The Sanskrit word ram means the inner ecstasy that occurs when you are completely at peace with yourself. By acting from this place, you protect yourself from negative influences and your powerful actions are no longer controlled by your ego. By allowing this power (Ram), which is often confused with positive ego power, to embrace you, it remains clear that this power can only be released in openness and togetherness with the greater, and therefore remains righteous and free of ego identification. The Sri Ram Embrace song supports you in your openness for this spiritual joy and gently promotes an embrace with the power of the essential spiritual joy, which is your origin. The melody of this embrace song indicates that your connection to the ecstatic quality of power is rooted in love, because without love you would allow this power to merge too much with the ego, and then it becomes a power that wants to win or fight. The power of Ram is joyful, original, devotional and makes all negative obstacles pale in comparison. If you love yourself, if you love your essence, you will also love the inner joyful power of Ram and you will find that by chanting this mantra repeatedly, you will free yourself from fear and darkness and find the strength to express your authentic self and confidently follow the path that goes with it.
