Sri Radha Bhakti Meditation

Sri Radha Bhakti Meditation Focuses on Embodying Humility

Helpful meditation directions:

Please sit comfortably either on a chair or on a cushion with Mala beads. The mala has 108 beads. All the beads are held connected by the Guru Bead. Hold the mala in your right hand with middle, ring fingers and thumb. Begin by chanting the Guru Mantra on the Guru bead located on top as follows:

Sri Krishna Govinda Prabhu Niyamananda

Radhe Krishna Radhe Shyam Radha Mukunda

 You’ll move each beads by thumb toward of you and begin reciting the Yugal Maha Mantra on rest of the beads, as follows:

Radhe Krishna Radhe Krishna Krishna Krishna Radhe Radhe!

Radhe Shyam Radhe Shyam Shyam Shyam Radhe Radhe!!

The mantras should be recited silently in your mind with closed or open eyes while meditating on the lotus feet of Sri Radha Krishna with the purpose of embodying humility.

Please chant as many as rounds you like. However, we suggest that you chant at least 2 rounds. After you complete your meditation, please leave the mala in the same place where you picked it up. 

The meditation is optional, you are welcome to sit and observe the peacefulness as long as you like.
