Expand into Intuitive Knowing
Indra Nittri Meditation as Taught by Yogi Bhajan



The Mantra:

Ek Ong Kar Sat Gur Prasad, Sat Gur Prasad Ek Ong Kar

Translation:

There is one Creator of all Creation. All is a blessing of the One Creator. This realization comes through Guru's Grace.

Posture:

Sit with the legs crossed in Easy Pose. Grasp the knees firmly, keeping the elbows straight and the chest lightly lifted. The chin is pulled in gently, to align the skull with the rest of the spine. The eyes are closed or 1/10th open.

Practice:

Chant the mantra in a steady rythm, meditating through the brow point and concentrating on the movements of the tongue.
On "Ek", pull in the Navel Point.
On "Kar", release it. On "Sat Gur", pull in the entire abdominal region, especially the diaphragm, lifting everything up toward the ribs and back toward the spine.
On "Prasad", release it.
Continue this contraction and release with each repetition of these specific words.

The mantra amplifies your projection, so it is important to chant it with a sacred intention in a sacred space. This meditation deepens the intutive capacity, bringing about a state of blissful knowingness.

Time:

Begin with a 3-minute practice, gradually increasing to 22 minutes. The maximum length of the Indra Nittri meditation is 62 minutes.

To End:

Inhale, hold the breath comfortably, exhale. Relax.


Guru Nanak taught this mantra to his son, Baba Siri Chand. The mantra is said to contain the essence of the entire Siri Guru Granth Sahib and brings its energy to reside in the heart. It is believed to be the most powerful mantra. Yogi Bhajan referred to this mantra as the "Eyes of Indra", saying that the body is a temple through which one experiences the Infinite--all knowledge and bliss flow through you.

Because of the mantra's great power Yogi Bhajan recommended first chanting either the Mul Mantra or Aad Guray Nameh, Jugaad Guray Nameh, Sat Guray Nameh, Siri Guru Devay Nameh ( I deeply recommend this one!), to put you into a sacred space. It must be chanted in a sacred way. And afterwards you must not do or say anything negative or the repercussions will be very heavy.

The mantra takes thought and reverses it to come out positive. A thought rides into your consciousness to be processed with "Ek Ong Kar Sat Gur Prasad," and comes out pure with, "Sat Gur Prasad Ek Ong Kar."
