I offer my profound obeisance’s to my loving Spiritual Master, His Divine Grace Bhagavata Bhusana Gurudeva, who is the best and foremost disciple of His Spiritual Master, Paramahamsa Thakura Srila Sridhara Deva Gosvami Maharaja. He is brilliantly adorned with all the divine qualities of his Spiritual Master.

Our Divine Master, Srila Bhagavata Bhusana Gurudeva, is eternally surrounded by his dear and sincere disciples who are constantly glorifying him; and is worshipped and adore by those who are seekers of enlightenment. He is like a wish fulfilling tree that satisfies all desires with the most astonishing pastimes of Sri Radha and Krsna, which are life giving nectar to the ears. He is illuminated from deep within by his love and devotion to beautiful Sri Radha, which he is magnanimously distributing to the entire world.

He also sports in the pastimes of Sri Radha and Krsna, and he adores hearing live-giving poetry of the Divine couple. He is an ocean of mercy personified, and he is very compassionate with the lost and fallen souls of this world. He brilliantly shines with love for Gouranga Mahaprabhu, the great teacher of love of devotion through whose divine light he woks selflessly for the highest benefit of mankind by magnanimously distributing the Personal Power Mantras of the Supreme Lord and His potencies to illumine all souls.

Advancing and Perfecting Your Active Meditation

Active meditation is the divine, esoteric, dynamic and mystical method of redefining one’s true inner self in one’s deepest comprehension and connection to life and death in relation to total existence. Active meditation is the method where one affirms and lets go; it crystallizes and dissolves. On one hand, you are life-affirming, life-crystallizing, and on the other hand you are letting go, divorcing, dissolving all material impediments. These two apparent opposite forces of nature exist within us, but when not in harmony, they cause internal conflicts and pave the way to the unfortu¬nate imprisonment of the self. They are represented by the archetypes of the meek lamb and the ferocious lion that live within. Nonetheless, the solution and goal, is to develop balance, harmony, friendship, and love between these extreme or polarized energies. This unique balance creates a spiritual protective force that allows man to live in full adjustment with himself and the universe.

How should I chant my Power Mantra

The Chanting of your Power-Mantra can have different tones and melodies, and may be chanted internally in different ways. The power-song of your life manifests by itself and increases by itself, until it breaks the walls of the uni¬verse to enter into the planes of divinity. Your Personal Power-Mantra, the power-song of your life, uplifts the spirit, purifies the mind, heart, and body. Ultimately through such transcendental sound vibration, one’s spiritual self and one’s relationship with God are automatically revealed.

The Chanting or Conscious Active Meditation

Once you have completed the breathing exercises, mentally chant and listen to the power-song of your life attentively, with full concentration. Try to perceive the sublime sound through your sense of hearing. Concentrate on repeating the Mantra in your mind. Carefully listen to your chanting as you touch each bead of your holy rosary, increasing the intensity of your chanting or active meditation just as a telescope magnifies apparently unseen images and brings them closer to us, then listen with increased focused attention. You must voluntarily let go and allow yourself to be carried away by the transcendental sound vibration of your Power-Mantra. Feel how it absorbs time and space until it grows and fills the entire universe.

The Radiant Energy of Love

This particular process of active meditation, or chanting of the Power-Mantra is a blessing for the busy man of modern day. He is mechanically programmed with mundane information of the external world, but feels completely empty and hollow within. From birth until the present day, he has been fed information of the world that makes up the illusion of his entire being. Like a child, he has never had a chance to choose for himself, to know and to search for his own perfection that is buried deep within covered by the world of empiric knowledge, power, jealousy, and fear. He has never been allowed to fully experience himself or his inner self, let alone to experience God!

Electromagnetic Energy

Chanting, or active meditation on the Personal Power- Mantra creates electromagnetic energy; a radiant energy of love that cuts through the coverings of the universal shell and allows the bird of love to grow wings and to fly freely into the spiritual sky.

God is absolute, God is infinite, God is perfect love, perfect energy. As limitless power, God is all-expansive, God is absolute growth, God is flawless progress. If we are not growing or progressing in spiritual conscious¬ness, automatically we will note the lack of divinity, the shadow of darkness that covers our lives, and the veil of our ignorance that causes our suffering.

The Importance of your Personal Power Mantra

What is the Importance of the Chanting or Active Meditation on my Personal Power-Mantra?

The chanting of your Personal Power-Mantra, the power-song of your life, is a fascinating mystical process that infuses bliss and vitality to the center of one’s being. It is like a musical expression, an internal song, a melody that touches the core of our heart and the depths of our soul. It gives us tranquility and increases our faith and confidence in God. Many people have expressed curiosity about the importance of chanting. Repetitive chanting or active meditation is the simplest, most sublime and effective way to invoke the presence of our divine nature —the completeness of God. There is a powerfully immense attraction created by the electromagnetic friction of repeating the Power-Mantra. Japa or chanting, is the mental repetition of the Personal Power-Mantra rendered in extreme reverence, joy, and self-surrender to Divinity. The mind, the commander of all senses—touch, smell, taste, sight and hearing— becomes completely focused, and its attention is centered on the remembrance of the Lord and His sublime transcendental activities.
