Μantra Chanting and Havan with Sn. Mahesh & Sn. Ramdarshi
On the occasion of Sn. Mahesh's long-awaited visit to Athens, we invite you to Neda Yoga Shala on Saturday 29 November at 19:30 for a beautiful fire ceremony (Havan) and the recitation of the Mahamritunjaya Mantra.
Havan is an ancient ceremony revived by Sri Swami Satyananda Saraswati. It involves the use of fire, the offering of healing herbs (samagri), Sanskrit mantras, and the intention of the practitioner. In a broader context, its purpose is purification, evolution, and harmony on all levels.
The recitation of mantras causes very strong vibrations which, with repetition, are magnified, making the mantras highly transformative. The Mahamritunjaya Mantra that we will recite in this particular Havan is an ancient and very powerful healing mantra. It is recited with the aim of strengthening our physical, mental, and emotional health and that of those around us.
Swami Satyananda started the Mahamritunjaya Mantra Havan in April 1986 to honor the 100th birthday of his guru Swami Sivananda and his teachings on yoga as a way to develop physical and mental health , well-being, and peace in life. Since then, the Mahamritunjaya Mantra has been recited every Saturday by ashrams and yoga practitioners.
The practice will be led by Sn. Mahesh and Sn. Ramdarshi (Athanasios Baxevanos).
Cost: The practice is free of charge. Suggested donation: €5-20
(Free for participants of the Nada Yoga seminar)
Date & Time: Saturday 29 November | 19:30-20:45
Reservations are not required, but please let us know if you plan to attend so that we can estimate capacity.
"I am giving you a guarantee that if you do it (Mahamritunjaya Mantra) with intensity of focus, willpower, purity of heart and feeling, there is no question that the health and healing will be provided, whether for yourself or for others."
