MANTRA : HARI OM TATSAT JAI GURUDATTA
MEANING OF THE MANTRA : Mantras don't mean something rather than are something. A mantra is a word or phrase of power, of salvation , whose effects are known to be beneficial on every level of life. Because each word of a mantra contains the fulfillness of life, a mantra does not read like a sentence. But if it did, HARI OM TATSAT JAI GURUDATTA would appear something like glory to Lord Datta, the eternal reality cncompassing all love, truth and being. This mantra not only carries the power and grace of Lord Datta, it is Lord Datta - there is no separation. This mantra is a spiritual catalyst. It serves as a uniquely effective tool for self-development, connecting us to our own inner guide, and leading us onto our individual paths towards unfoldment.
Inner awakening through sound :: Deep within the elements of our existence, the sound vibrations created through chanting of the sanskrit words and syllables percolate, tuning the very structure of our being to perfect harmony. Just as scientists are finding that if they change the rate of vibration of the atoms of a material, the very substance and structure of the material will change; so we find that the soundless sounds of God's word are vibrating within, and automatically bringing the changes that we call spiritual unfoldment.
Mantra Japa : One can begin his saadhana by doing japa of this mantra. Japa means reciting the mantra, continuously using the mala (rosary). The mala has 108 beads and is used for countng as well as for better concentration. one cna also recite the mantra for a fixed time everyday. First decide the time, place and the number of malas to be performed every day. Cleanliness is important during the saadhana period. Take abath everyday and wear celan clothes while doing the japa. one can begin the japa either on saturday, monday, or thursday by offering a shelled coconut (if available) in front of the Lord Datta's photo, use incense, light a wick lamp and offer flowers if possible. This is to purify the environment and to show your surrendering to sadguru because surrendering and faith plays a key role during sadhana. If you have a guru, feelthe existence of sadguru in your guru and if you don't have a guru then accept Lord Datta, the sadguru as your guru and begin your sadhana.By repeating the mantra HARI OM TATSAT JAIGURUDATTA, we receive the sbutle energy which gives us the experience of spontaneous meditation and initiates the process of unfoldment, purifying our minds and bodies.

The length of time can vary according to your interests and capacities. After the chanting is over, sit quietly with closed eyes, without touching other, for 10 minutes. Absorb the energy received through the mantra. During the silence, do not continue the mantra mentally, unless the mantra continues on its own.
