Namaste,
You are invited to join me in a very powerful and sacred 21-day supported mantra discipline, which includes Mantra Japa and Guided Meditation. The repetition of mantra, Mantra Japa, is an ancient meditative tool which can reduce karma and ease suffering, bringing you closer to your true potential. Anyone can practice mantra. You do not need to have any previous experience with yoga or mantra or have any specific spiritual belief to fully receive the benefits.

ABOUT THIS PRACTICE: 
COURAGE, CONFIDENCE & STRENGTH
“Durga can channel a potent mix of all-animating Para Shakti, Kriya Shakti (the power of mind over matter), and Iccha Shakti (the power of will). She will protect us from external harm with the ferocity of a lioness guarding her cubs.” Thomas Ashley-Farrand (Namadeva Acharya)
Durga is the Divine Protectress. She is a member of the Feminine Trinity, along with Saraswati and Lakshmi. As the warrior aspect of the Divine Mother, she rides a tiger or lion, carries weapons and is radiant with spiritual energy. She is the invincible force, the slayer of demons, unconquerable, the destroyer of all diseases and evils. And, at the same time, she is purity, compassion, knowledge, truth and pure consciousness.
The most familiar aspect of the goddess Durga is shown with 10 arms, signifying the 10 directions. This suggests that she protects her followers from all directions. She wears a crown and is dressed in royal red. She holds many weapons in her hands. This reflects her mastery and power, her authority and control, her malicious intent to destroy negative influence. To the sincere devotee, Durga relieves all sufferings. 

Through this practice of Mantra Japa Meditation, you will experience:

  • Increased energy physically, self-confidence emotionally
  • Focus, concentration, awareness, clarity
  • Protection from negative influences
  • Courage to step firmly into abundance
  • Strength and willpower to stay positive and devoted to Self

A brief summary:
Mantra Japa Practice with recordings-you will receive a specific stack of Sanskrit mantras with instructions, plus recordings of the mantras.

Daily Newsletters-you will receive Daily Newsletters with inspirational teachings, images and quotes and a detailed break-down of all the Sanskrit mantras with their meanings and applications.

3 Live Zoom Calls-within the 21-days, we will join together with Live Zoom Calls. They include Group Chanting, Guided Healing Meditations and Q & A. These Live Zoom Calls are scheduled for Sept. 1, 11 and 21 from 7-7:45pm EST. They will
be recorded for your convenience in case you cannot attend them Live.

Guided Healing Meditations-during the Live Zoom Calls, you will be guided through visual meditations to: 1) help you feel grounded and at ease, 2) assist in creating intentions for the practice, 3) bring awareness to your next steps towards manifesting what you truly want and 4) guide you to heart-opening love and deep inner peace.

Additional Devotional Practices-suggested devotional practices will be included in the Daily Newsletters to enhance your meditative experience. 

Daily Collective Healing Group Energy-chanting the ancient vibrations of Sanskrit in a collective group, in the same 21-days, you will build the energy internally, bathe in light and expand/utilize these energies in whatever form is needed in your individual life. In doing so, you affect all beings.

Being reminded of the deep well of abundance and connection within and around you is vital during these times. It gives you an anchor to rest upon, a wellspring to relax into, a familiar, safe refuge.

Whether you seek balance in the areas of physical or mental health, finances/career, relationships or spiritual advancement/illumination, mantra disciplines give you the opportunity to accelerate the journey of personal transformation.

Here's how this 21-Day Supported Mantra Practice works:
On the evening of August 31 you will receive the Sanskrit mantra practice in its entirety online with recordings of the mantras and details on the practice. There are varying lengths to the practice which range anywhere from 3-25 minutes. You can choose which form is best for you. The mantras do not change.

The mantras are then chanted daily, on your own time, at your convenience, for 21-days from September 1-21.

You'll be participating with like-minded folks all around the globe. 

Materials for this practice will be sent out on the evening of August 31.

Chanting in this way as a group, with the same mantras during the same 21-day period, can bring tremendous results. The energetic support intensifies the practice and brings great possibility for growth and life changes.

I look forward to sharing this journey with you!
In Love and Service,
Rajeshwari

This is the first time I have experienced the transformative power of a stacked mantra and Likhita japa practice. During and since it ended, I have felt an inner strength and peace that I haven’t experienced before, an invisible infra-structure that is supporting me throughout the day, even without my calling on it! I especially enjoy chanting with Rajeshwari on the recordings sent, and feel part of an ongoing spiritual community I have been praying for." -Sita Howard, Mantra Student

I have completed two forty day supported mantra practices with Rajeshwari. Although I was practicing at a distance, I felt energetically connected with her and with the group, especially when I chanted along to the mantra recordings. I appreciated Rajeshwari’s tender care for the group, the way she carefully designed each mantra sequence, and gave us information about the mantras bit by bit, so as not to overload. I also admired her passion, knowledge and availability to answer questions. With each forty day practice, I felt an energetic shift in my life as the old fell away and the new (aligned with my heart’s true desires) manifested. I highly recommend Rajeshwari as a knowledgeable, compassionate teacher.” -Janis McCallen, Mantra Student
