Serve, Love, Give, Purify, Meditate, Realize

Serve, Love, Give, Purify, Meditate, Realize,

Be Good, Do Good, Be Kind, Be Compassionate 

- song/chant written by Swami Vishnudevananda 

Swami Vishnudevananda was a disciple of Swami Sivananda Saraswati.  He founded the International Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centres and Ashrams, where I studied. 

I think it’s a nice mantra.  I sing it in class.  Along with the “Gayatri Mantra” and many others.  I usually follow my intuition — whatever the room needs. 

Mantras are a powerful way of keeping the mind one-pointed.  Pointed to Positivity and Meditation.

I hope you have one.  A word, or a string of words.
