Ancient sanskrit chant music by Sri Chinmoy arranged by Arthada and Friends. Sri Chinmoy’s comments about the health mantra: “In order to achieve freedom, we need energy, power and spirit. And for that, here is the mightiest prayer: Tejo ’si tejo mayi dhehi Viryam asi viryam mayi dhehi Balam asi balam mayi dhehi Ojo ’si ojo mayi dhehi Manyur asi manyur mayi dhehi Saho ’si saho mayi dhehi Thy fiery spirit I invoke. Thy manly vigour I invoke. Thy power and energy I invoke. Thy battle fury I invoke. Thy conquering mind I invoke. If you are physically weak, if your physical constitution is not satisfactory, if you chant: Tejohasi tejomayi dhehi… sincerely and soulfully, in a week’s time you will see a change for the better in your health. The capacity of the body is limited - Yours, mine, everybody's. But the capacity of the soul is unlimited - Yours, mine, everybody's. The source of the force is God, the all-Good. God is omnipotent; again, He is all Love. So it is from His Love that the healing power comes into existence. The best way to seek spiritual healing is to offer gratitude every day for a fleeting second to the Supreme Healer. When we offer our gratitude to Him for what we have or for what we are right now, then our heart of aspiration increases, our heart of dedication increases. That means that our receptivity increases. When receptivity increases, God’s Light, which is all healing, can enter into us in abundant measure. It is in the heart of gratitude that God’s Light can permanently abide. Illness is all around. How do we cure it? We cure it only through our gratitude-heart to the Supreme, to the Absolute, that He has given us the inner cry to cure illness. The most difficult disease to remove is the layer of ignorance in our mind. There are four doctors: the medicine-doctor, the prayer-doctor, the faith-doctor and the God-Doctor. Medical science is not the supreme authority on life and death. Spirituality, because of its conscious and inseparable oneness with the Will of the Absolute Supreme, has and is the supreme authority on life and death. We must work together. Prayer comes from the inner world and medicine comes from the outer world. Both are equally important. The inner world and the outer world must work together. Then it will be quite easy for us to conquer the world that stands against us. We must not work independently. We must work interdependently. If spirituality and medical science play their roles interdependently, like inhaling and exhaling, then God’s Heart-Garden will be inundated with earth-beauty and Heaven-Fragrance. Why do we experience suffering? In this world we are always consciously or unconsciously making mistakes. When we consciously make mistakes, we are quite aware of it. But unfortunately, we do not see the millions of things that we are doing wrong unconsciously. These unconscious mistakes manifest themselves in the physical world and the results come to us as suffering. In the case of ordinary unaspiring human beings, after tremendous suffering, sincerity dawns and the soul leads them to knowledge and wisdom. If people who repeatedly make mistakes have sincere aspiration and want to know why they are suffering, then the soul’s light comes to the fore and tells them. If we are spiritual people, consciously we will not do anything wrong, but unconsciously we do many things wrong. We can prevent unconscious mistakes only through our aspiration, prayer and meditation. If we aspire, then God’s Grace and Compassion protect us. excerpts from the book Sri Chinmoy – Man’s health is God’s Wealth, Seeking Perfect Health, Sri Chinmoy Library #HealthMantra #Arthada&Friends #srichinmoy The music ensemble Arthada & Friends regularly gives spiritual concerts, i.e. concerts for meditation, in Vienna’s Lotus-Seminarzentrum. Since 20 April 1992, the ensemble has been performing at least seven times a year at home and abroad. Needless to say, the line-up has changed over these many years and to date comprises 7 male members living in Austria (Vienna) and the Netherlands (Den Haag) and Norway (Oslo). They have toured 23 European countries, performed in various countries in Asia, South America, the Carribbean, the former Soviet Union and had countless performances in the U.S alone. Their music has been aired by various European radio stations. The musicians play on eastern (sarangi, sitar, harmonium, bansuri ...) and western instruments and exclusively perform spiritual songs or mantras that were composed in a state of mystical vision or meditative trance and thus put a “receptive” listener into a meditative or higher consciousness. The music of Arthada & Friends is well suited for edification or meditation.
