The Mantra that inspires me!
“Aum Jaganmangaloham Bhabaami”
Meaning: I am getting prepared for the good of the Universe. … My body, mind, life force, soul – all are being prepared/aligned for the good of the Universe.
This mantra is due to Shree Shree Swami Swarupananda Paramhansa Deva. It is gender sensitive: ‘mangaloham’ for him and ‘mangalaham’ for her – please read it accordingly. While reciting / reading it, one may think that she / he is getting prepared to do something good for all the leaving and non-living beings of the Universe.
A sample audio file of the said Mantra (in original voice of Shree Shree Swami Swarupananda Paramhansa Deva, popularly known as Babamoni) is made available here:
