Mangala Charn

Aad Guray nameh         I bow to the primal wisdom

Jugad guray nameh      I bow to the wisdom throughout all time

Sat guray nameh           I bow to the true wisdom

Siri guru devay nameh   I bow to the great unseen wisdom 

This kriya is said to improve clarity.  It is used to bring one out of darkness of a depression.  It is said that it brings happiness where there is none.  This is another kriya that is great for those with inconsistent behavior.

When we are practicing this kriya, we are pointing both our yin and yang energies to God.  It is a practice that honors the duality.  The eyes are open (Yang) while we chant internally (Yin).  Then we flip it and chant externally (Yang) and close our eyes focusing our drishti inwards.

I still have yet to complete my 52 days with this practice.  I will share more once I allow this to run full course.
