All about the mantras of gratitude

The Vedas urge not to be limited only to the word "thank you" in certain situations, but to develop and cultivate in oneself sincere gratitude, coming from the whole heart, to everything that happens in life. For only this leads a person to his complete transformation and will certainly make him richer.

And in order to feel this attitude and come to a real understanding of what is happening, to understand for what and who needs to be thanked, you can use yoga techniques and the practice of chanting mantras. This will open the heart chakra and allow you to learn to be grateful always and to everyone, and first of all - to God and life.

According to Eastern philosophy, only small children have a direct connection with the Universe. However, as we grow up, we all lose this connection and move away from the primary sources, from which we must feed ourselves throughout life.

This makes us poorer spiritually; often, due to the lack of such a connection, physical exhaustion also occurs.

Teachers of the Vedic sciences claim that if you practice the pronunciation of prayers of thanksgiving at least once a month, then the healing of the soul will come, the person will return to his true self and reunite with the Mother-Universe. They provide the following explanation of what it means to be grateful: you must definitely find a place in your heart for the one to whom you turn with gratitude. But you need to do this not for someone else, but for yourself, first of all, in order to feel it.

A feature of such prayers is that they can be said both aloud and silently, in silence. Indeed, there are no verbal formulas in words, you need to say gratitude as you feel, from the heart. And remember: only you need it, not someone else.

Thanks should be directed to:

• to the Universe for what the Creator gave;
• to parents, you can separately to the father and mother;
• to one's family (grandfather, grandmother and other ancestors) - this is our invisible support;
• to children: ours and strangers, for all children are our little educators, teachers;
• to the old people, who are our mirrors and personify wisdom;
• to women who help to accept everything that is feminine that exists in every person, regardless of gender (male and female energies are in everyone living on earth);
• to men for support, strength and love;
• to guardian angels and higher powers;
• to offenders and those who hurt you because through them you became better;
• to those who gave you goodness;
• to their teachers (for some, these are parents, grandparents, school or university teachers, spiritual mentors, but for some it's just life).

The mantra of gratitude will help fill your life with abundance and love. At the moment of pronouncing such prayers, the action of the cosmic law is activated: "People multiply for themselves what they praise." It is not forbidden to praise one's own abilities and capabilities, but one should not forget about God.

One of the most potent mantras is the Gayatri Mantra. It is practiced in all countries by people of different faiths. In this prayer, which is considered universal, we appeal to the solar energy and the goddess Gayatri. It is read 3, 9 or 11 times. Here is an excerpt from it:

Om Bhur Bhuvah Matchmaker

Tat Savitur Varenyam

Bhargo Devasya Dhimahi

Dhiilo Yo Nah Prachodayat

Translated, it sounds like this:

Oh Supreme, Creator of the Universe,

Giving life

Eliminating pain and suffering and Giving happiness!

You are the Supreme Light that destroys sins.

We meditate on You so that You inspire

Enlightened and guided our mind in the right direction!

“The whole essence of the Vedas is in this mantra,” say practicing teachers. It should be recited regularly, with sincerity in heart, devotion in soul and faith.

The prayer to the divine Dhanvantari is also quite famous. This mantra is for recovery, against disease, giving a person the power to heal others with a touch of the hand.... To do this, you need to practice reading it 108 times daily.

Aum Shankham Chakram Jalaukam

Dadhad Amrita Ghatam Charu Dobrish Chaturbih

Sukshma Svachchha Tihridayamshuka Parivilasan Maulim Ambhoja Netram

Kalam Bhodojwalangam Kati Tara Vilasach Charu Pitambaradyam

Vande Dhanvantarim Tam Nikhila Gada Vana Praudha Davangli Lilam

The mantra of gratitude to your offenders may sound like this: "Om Mani Peme Hum." The last syllable should be especially clear. This mantra is repeated every time you have unpleasant thoughts or negative emotions. She heals the soul from resentment, jealousy, anger and contempt.

You can turn to your enemies through prayer and with the following words: "Om Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu", which means wishes of happiness to all living beings.

When chanting mantras, it is important not only to pronounce words (this happens as you exhale), but also to have a single tonality and the same rhythm. For the practice of mantras, correct breathing, concentration are important, and one must try to enter a state of complete gratitude.

You can read divine prayers not only out loud, it is done in a whisper or in your mind. If it is not possible to say the mantra 108 times, then do it the number of times that is divisible by 3. The rosary will help you stay on track.

Do not forget to make a list of gratitude from the Universe: for children, wife or husband, for work, for home and every day give thanks for all the good that you have and what is happening in your life. Immerse yourself in deep gratitude and immerse yourself in the magic of the sound of divine mantras.
