These are some of my personal practices that I have learned throughout the years. I combine the chanting of mantras and invoking the vibrations of benevolent Deities from the Sanantan Dharma religion.
I am not a sanskrit scholar and I also make some mistakes, but these mantras hold great healing and transformational power even just by listening to them. I offer these sacred prayers for all of humanity in these difficult times. I also sing a Hanuman Chalisa (40 prasies of Hanuman). I just started playing guitar again after many years and am currently practicing this new version of the Hanuman Chalisa I am working on, so there're mistakes. Regardless, this is a very powerful prayer for courage, strength and devotion. It is always through the practicioners intention, devotion and most importantly through the sacred lineage's and divine masters that these mantra's carry there power. Once again, I humbly offer these prayers and my devotion for the upliftment of all humanity and the earth. One can do Puja for various reasons, called a sankalpa (or resolve) but to do these practices for selfish reasons would defeat the purpose of healing the collective. I hope that you can feel the subtle vibrations in these chants and that they propogate some grace and peace for you. It is important to know that even without understanding the meaning of Sanskrit (I do some english interpretation) these mantras have the ability to bestow shanti (peace). Sanskrit is an (Asian) Indian language that was given to humanity by the Seer's (called Rishis) of ancient India, and just like the other ancient sciences of the India i.e., Aryuveda (anceint Indian medical science) and Yoga (Science of Union with the supreme), the practice of chanting mantras and doing Puja (Worship) is healing in inexplicable ways. These mantras and invocations awaken God within the heart of the individual. They are like special keys that open doors to deep emotional and spiritual healing. The word mantra comes from two Sanskrit words: man meaning mind; and tra meaning vehicle or instrument – a tool to transport the mind from a state of activity to one of stillness and silence. Ultimatley, it is a mystery how this anceint languange heals on so many different levels. If we examine the mantras from the context that we are all vibrational beings, one could say that mantra's lead you back to the source of this vibration and bring harmony and concentration of the mind ). Kirtan (Estatic call in response chanting) and chanting mantra or Japa (repeating Gods name) is said by many masters, present and future, to be the easiest way to commune with the divine in this Kali Yuga (Dark age of humanity) that we live in. Mantras like the ones I do in this solocast can vary in length and difficulty, but anyone can repeat these mantras to themselves in time of panic or confusion. Anyone can start with simple mantras, such as Ram (pronounced Rah-mm) or Om Namah Shivaya (Oh-mn Na-mah She-vai-yah) and they can be used at anytime. Blessings!
