A quiet field, open hearts, and a simple invitation to chant. Reflections on Easter, the many names of God, and the Maha Mantra that steadies the mind and softens the heart. Stories from Buckfast Abbey, gentle humor, and how beads, breath, and sound bring real peace. Non sectarian, simple, and offered with gratitude.
Part 2 will be a full 108 round for anyone who wants to chant along.

:I always love thunder me too
3

4
:hey Namaste Haribo Namaste

7
:it's a big actually in England
8
:we didn't know this but they have two weeks of holidays
9
:so all the roads all the service centres
10
:all the tourist areas are extremely busy
11
:and it's nice
12
:many people take the time to visit friends and family
13
:but uh
14
:in light of the person whom we're uh
15
:focused on at this moment
16
:uh e shua he
17
:who says Emmanuel God is with us in Yusuf son of Joseph
18
:Mashiach
19
:the title he was given Mashiach means Christ in
20
:I don't know how they went from Mashiach in Hebrew
21
:to Christ in Greek
22
:but actually
23
:the chain was usually from Aramaic to Greek
24
:in translation so either way
25
:Christ Messiah is a title given
26
:it means one who's worthy of being anointed
27
:by the Supreme Being and by the Spiritual Master
28
:and Marie and I have been seeing some beautiful
29
:did you maybe want to talk a little bit about the
30
:some of the images we've seen in the churches
31
:of who Jesus's spiritual master was
32
:his living spiritual master
33
:are you at the most gorgeous spirit in the
34
:Buckfast Abbey Buckfast Abbey yeah
35
:where they have this huge stained glass window with uh
36
:Jesus offering like this his love and mercy
37
:and you feel so welcomed and
38
:comforted just looking at that
39
:picture so you sat down and you just started chanting
40
:yeah so yeah
41
:I couldn't resist and I started recording you
42
:I didn't know to the camera
43
:it's a
44
:first of all we offer our respectful
45
:obeisances and respects to all our spiritual masters
46
:coming coming in a long
47
:long line of spiritual masters
48
:all the way back to when the bagavadgita was spoken
49
:5,000 years ago
50
:so this practice that we're a part of
51
:we actually get to benefit by it while doing it
52
:it's not that we're at some place
53
:and we're at this place and you have to get here
54
:we don't know where you're at
55
:we don't can't see in your heart
56
:that's that's for God to see
57
:the paramatma the Lord
58
:travels with every living entity
59
:as the silent witness to them
60
:throughout all the universes
61
:and throughout all your bodies
62
:he's with you and you can pray to him
63
:and that's why Jesus Jeshua taught
64
:you know the kingdom of God is within you
65
:because the actual kingdom of God is
66
:refers to somebody's kingdom
67
:and that somebody is the supreme person
68
:God himself
69
:and Yishua encouraged us all
70
:he gave two commandments that all
71
:everything else is the basis for
72
:and he actually really admonished people
73
:he said there will come a time when people say Lord
74
:didn't I do good works in your name charity
75
:didn't I heal in your name or do miracles in your name
76
:and he said I will
77
:say get away from me
78
:I do not know you
79
:because you did not do the will of my father
80
:now Ishua
81
:Jesus is talking about his
82
:our everybody's collective spiritual father
83
:the Supreme being God
84
:known as God God's a title
85
:it's like saying sir
86
:imagine if I I just always kept calling you ma'am
87
:after being together for three years
88
:you know I have all these sweet
89
:I have very very sweet
90
:intimate names for for Maria
91
:I also call her Maria uh uh
92
:sometimes I say Maria Kerwin
93
:and she has so many names
94
:but there are
95
:there are many different levels of intimacy
96
:and so you know
97
:if you want to go from
98
:yeah sure
99
:but you know
100
:the nice thing about God's names is there's innumerable
101
:the scriptures and all the saintly persons
102
:this is not our thing we're not making this up
103
:it's not some new fangle thing
104
:it's actually very ancient
105
:and it works in the Bible
106
:it says our help is in the name of the Lord
107
:now they didn't say that in English
108
:they probably said it in Hebrew or Greek or Aramaic
109
:and they've talked about ABBA
110
:our help is in the name of ABBA
111
:our father Abba Allah
112
:so many names Govinda Goppa Rama
113
:Madana Mohana
114
:so this time of of Easter coming up
115
:is a time of deep contemplation and reflection
116
:and to give full
117
:I don't even know if we can
118
:if I can certainly I can't
119
:have enough respect
120
:lots more to develop but for that person we know as e
121
:Shua Ben Yusef Emmanuel the Messiah of Nazareth
122
:he was also known as the nazorean
123
:because he was from Nazareth
124
:he belonged to the Nazarenes or the Asenes
125
:he was part of a culture and a community
126
:that was already deeply devoted to the Supreme Person
127
:and to learning the mysteries
128
:and the not so mysteries of the Supreme Person
129
:his ishuwa came to teach very clearly
130
:simply so that even children would understand
131
:so today we're just going to practice the
132
:what's known as the Maha Mantra Maha
133
:yeah go ahead
134
:can I say something please
135
:yes after leaving a container in that area
136
:I felt pretty heavy ha ha yeah
137
:and I had this sadness and uh
138
:I had this urge to chant yesterday
139
:and I wanted to chant the most potent chant
140
:mantra that's available
141
:for all for all of humanity yeah
142
:for all living entities actually
143
:and uh
144
:to lift that happiness from my heart
145
:and from my solar plexus I felt really happy and sad
146
:she's really attached to all that stuff
147
:but anyway yeah
148
:I'm I'm working on it
149
:I know you're much lighter today
150
:ha ha ha ha ha yeah

:and and um
152
:I we're so blessed that we have YouTube
153
:and all these channels now with
154
:with this great
155
:persons that are chanting in such a uplifting way
156
:and we put on the Mahamantra yesterday
157
:yes while
158
:we are driving and it just took a couple seconds
159
:and I had tears in my eyes
160
:and uh
161
:it's it's for me
162
:and I speak for me now because that's my experience
163
:it's the most potent words that you can say out loud
164
:that within a couple seconds
165
:have the potency to purify your emotions
166
:and your thoughts and your being
167
:and it's actually the recommended process for this age
168
:Shravanam Kirtanam Vishnushman
169
:I'm hearing repeating and remembering
170
:sanctuary movement known as the congregational
171
:hearing and repeating of God's names
172
:I mean you read in the Bible
173
:even the Old Testament
174
:there was a great jubilation and cry unto the Lord
175
:they called him Yahweh or Adonai
176
:Elohim or Hashem or so many beautiful names in Hebrew
177
:so I
178
:if you're watching this for a while now
179
:you will know that I had some
180
:blockages of saying out loud these words
181
:but she watched The Life of Brian where they're like
182
:you know
183
:the part where they stole the guy who said Jehovah
184
:ha ha
185
:that by the way
186
:is a really funny movie yeah
187
:but yeah
188
:you don't have to be afraid of saying God's names
189
:yeah so they're for everybody and they're
190
:it's perfectly recommended
191
:to actually say them out loud
192
:yeah but now
193
:now I literally have the the
194
:the a strong pull to say them out loud
195
:and they're they're really strong
196
:when you
197
:jump into the experience of saying them out loud
198
:so please explain the words
199
:yeah and there's a little preface
200
:maybe what we'll do is we'll stop this video
201
:and there'll be a part 2 where we're just gonna sing
202
:say chant
203
:utter remember
204
:reflect upon declare
205
:affirm
206
:the names of god who has in
207
:for all you guys out there
208
:who have a different label on your shirt Christian
209
:Muslim Hindu Jew Buddhist
210
:Taoist Shintoist
211
:paganist
212
:uh this is non sectarian
213
:God's names are for everybody and everything
214
:in fact everything that breathes
215
:praises the Lord says in the Bible
216
:wherever there's life there's a person
217
:just because it has a different body
218
:and you can't see spiritually
219
:the person within the body
220
:that's not the fault of the living entity
221
:that's on you that's why we develop uh
222
:our consciousness over time
223
:that's why we go on pilgrimage
224
:that's why we listen to sanctified persons
225
:that's why we read scripture
226
:that's why we pray as sincerely as we can
227
:within our heart that's why we seek forgiveness
228
:and we develop gratitude and not judgment
229
:and patience and humility
230
:all those super hard things to develop
231
:I mean I've got at this rate
232
:I've got a few million lifetimes to go in this in
233
:in this in these material forms
234
:but I'm trying and I'm not changing anything
235
:I'm not putting my own spin on this
236
:this is all just coming through the books of wisdom
237
:or truth or knowledge that's Veda
238
:the Vedas and the cream of the Vedas
239
:are scriptures like Srimad Bhagavad Gita
240
:Srimad Bhagavatam and then the Chetanya Charitam Rita
241
:and if you really want to know
242
:the essence of Christ's teachings
243
:Ni Shua's teachings or even um
244
:or any saintly person's teachings
245
:then I highly recommend you
246
:read the teachings of Lord Chaitanya
247
:by his divine Grace Bhagavad Gita
248
:the Swamiyam Puram another pure devotee of god
249
:who knows Christ very intimately and
250
:and Chaitanya and Chaitanya only came 500 years ago and
251
:if you you know
252
:once you get to the Chetanyah chair and read it
253
:the condensed version of that
254
:is in the teachings of Lord Chetanyah
255
:which we started reading right away
256
:when I started introducing Maria to this process
257
:um what were your experiences with the reading of
258
:everything was so great she would always say
259
:can you read can you
260
:please read from the teachings of Lord Chaitanya
261
:I was like
262
:I was an ecstasy because like all these years
263
:I've been reading it with myself and by myself and
264
:you know in
265
:in the company of others too
266
:but it's really something to share uh
267
:this extraordinary transcendental tacit knowledge
268
:wisdom no
269
:I just I just
270
:before we go to bed
271
:your sleep is determined by what you do last
272
:if you're surfing on your phone
273
:ha ha and
274
:and doing some social media nonsense
275
:then your dreams and the
276
:the quality of your sleep is different
277
:and I just knew and I felt that when we were reading
278
:the the teachings
279
:and especially when I could listen to it
280
:closing my eyes I got so smooth
281
:I had this smooth comfort
282
:comfort that was surrounding me
283
:and I just got so calm and peaceful
284
:that my sleep was so deep
285
:ha ha ha ha ha
286
:she actually sleeps through my snoring when she chanced
287
:yeah and then when you wake up
288
:you wanna have the
289
:the name of God on your lips and your heart
290
:and you wake up at night and you're in this in this
291
:bubble too but also you dream about these places that
292
:yes you were reading about and yes
293
:walking the fields that they were describing
294
:and it's it's such a
295
:and you wake up smiling yeah
296
:and then you want to you know
297
:uh
298
:yeah that you wanna wake up and declare
299
:utter affirm
300
:say chant repeat sing
301
:any word there is for opening your mouth with joy
302
:and yeah and now when I wake up at night
303
:I just start chanting yeah
304
:same and I
305
:I'm I'm just smiling and I fall asleep again
306
:so it's a
307
:I mean that's not why you should do it
308
:cuddle up you cuddle up
309
:oh absolutely
310
:you got it cuddle up with your beads
311
:keep these so
312
:so these are these are
313
:you know you want 100
314
:you want eventually we have beads
315
:and we're getting more to give away
316
:I've given away all the ones I had
317
:but I'm getting more of the
318
:54 that's a half round
319
:why 108 they're 108 we promise shabs um
320
:or is it 108 piranhas they're these specific scriptures
321
:they're beautiful there's different books on them
322
:they're lovely can actually read the uh
323
:the Sri Upanishad by Bhagavad Gita
324
:Swami Vivekananda is one of my favorite
325
:in fact I gave that book to my dad
326
:and then after he had passed on
327
:left his body I was going through some of these books
328
:and there came out
329
:it was a small little book with white cover
330
:with a picture of god on the front
331
:one of his one of his forms um
332
:seminations
333
:uh and it was just like seeing the my
334
:it was I was seeing my best friend again
335
:God's God is the best friend of every living entity
336
:he's the owner
337
:controller and enjoyer of every living entity
338
:and that's why we when we chant
339
:we wanna remember remind ourselves of how we
340
:who we really are
341
:uh the main cause of all the strife and
342
:and war and and
343
:and problems in the world
344
:is that people have forgotten who they are
345
:and they mistakenly identify with the body
346
:and then since they've been children
347
:all the culture
348
:and family and language around them has said
349
:oh you're this
350
:you're a man you're a woman
351
:you're a Jew you're a Hindu
352
:you're a Christian you're a Muslim
353
:you're a pagan you're an atheist
354
:you're an agnostic you're small
355
:you're big you're fat
356
:you're skinny
357
:you're white you're black
358
:you're red you're blue
359
:you're yellow you're Chinese
360
:you're Hindu you're Russian
361
:you're uh Protestant
362
:you're New Hope you're old hope
363
:you're Shia you're Sunni
364
:you're this that
365
:blah blah
366
:blah blah on
367
:it goes on and on it goes
368
:and we start to heavily identify
369
:with the labels on this body
370
:and we don't get the transcendental experience
371
:self actualization is realizing who I am god
372
:realization is realizing who is god
373
:then what's my relationship with god
374
:the supreme person
375
:what's my relationship with all of his creation
376
:his material creation as well as the living entities
377
:all of my neighbors
378
:and what's my position and function
379
:what's my eternal position and function
380
:we all have different functions and positions
381
:you know you're in kindergarten
382
:you're a student you're you're married
383
:you're a husband or wife you know
384
:these are all temporary positions and functions
385
:but what's our eternal function in position
386
:that's what will give us the highest happiness
387
:so if you're like me and I was always really into like
388
:what's the most fun I could have in a job
389
:being a lifeguard so I became a lifeguard
390
:what's the most fun I could have in my work
391
:being a ski patroller
392
:cause you get to do the first lines of the new snow
393
:I was always seeking pleasure
394
:the highest pleasure
395
:you know I went to raves at a certain period of time
396
:you know I was taking this thing that thing
397
:what's the highest experience of ecstasy
398
:you know they even have a name of a drug called ecstasy
399
:it's like Brave New World from all this Huxley
400
:but that's not the transcendental
401
:ecstasy that we're looking for
402
:we're actually searching for happiness
403
:and every living entity is searching for happiness
404
:we're searching for shelter
405
:that's why we want to associate with people
406
:we want shelter
407
:whether it's Beyonce or Jay Z or Emmanuel Macron
408
:we all take shelter under different personalities
409
:what we really are seeking is eternal shelter
410
:and eternal relationships
411
:and Christ himself said
412
:first commandment is to love the Supreme Person ABBA
413
:he said ABBA
414
:Love ABBA with all your heart
415
:mind and soul your very being
416
:and the second commandment is like unto it
417
:it's not first though put
418
:so if you don't if you really study that
419
:those two
420
:and the second is love thy neighbour as thy self
421
:or is love others as much as you love yourself
422
:but how can you love yourself or others if first
423
:you don't know who you are
424
:and then you don't know who they are eternally
425
:you see them in different positions and functions
426
:and different labels mistaken identity
427
:and how do you
428
:how do you worship God if you don't know who he is
429
:what he looks like who he hangs out with
430
:what you know
431
:who are what he likes
432
:what he likes exactly
433
:perfect
434
:like the whole point of prayer and spiritual life
435
:is to become pleasing pleasing yeah
436
:pleasing yeah
437
:I mean we have
438
:our relationship is not about
439
:we try to put god first
440
:but I also have a relationship with this person
441
:a living entity yeah
442
:you know that I like cashews yeah
443
:so I go and get some you know yeah
444
:it's you don't get me
445
:I don't buy her pumpkin seeds
446
:yeah or
447
:or I don't buy her meat
448
:because we know we don't offer meat
449
:God himself says I don't want your blood offerings
450
:God first of all
451
:God doesn't need anything from anyone
452
:back to Jesus
453
:there is no sacrifice required by God yeah
454
:I know this is a mistake
455
:Jesus went through an ordeal
456
:he was murdered brutally he wasn't murdered
457
:he never died he's a living entity
458
:he had realized this perfectly
459
:and he knew who god was ABBA
460
:his Supreme Person Father
461
:that's why he had so much
462
:but even his confidence was shaken
463
:the ordeal
464
:that regular folks were about to put him through
465
:horrible demonic people
466
:we don't celebrate Friday as Good Friday
467
:there's nothing good about it
468
:the brutal the brutal
469
:the brutal murderer
470
:and mutilation of any living entity is really bad
471
:please don't do it
472
:don't get the magnifying glass and like pop ants
473
:as a kid I
474
:I almost got into so many fights with kids
475
:who would do that I'm not saying I didn't
476
:I'm not perfect I've done bad things too
477
:with this body and other bodies
478
:millions of bodies
479
:the whole purpose of human life is to getting emotional
480
:well it's like I hate it when they hurt
481
:yeah yeah yeah
482
:we'll do well well yeah
483
:so um
484
:the best thing you can offer the Supreme person
485
:God is your love
486
:and the the best recommended
487
:easiest process
488
:and the most effective process for reestablishing
489
:rekindling rekindling
490
:realising in stages one's eternal occupation position
491
:function duty as a eternal lover of god
492
:as an eternal servitor of god and others
493
:is to hear and repeat his names
494
:Maha Mantra Maha means great
495
:the greatest
496
:if you want the best
497
:if you want to go right to the best
498
:if you're one of those people that love Chanel or Gucci
499
:and you just want the best
500
:uh this is transcendent best um
501
:rather than a Bentley don't drive

:they're all purifying they don't require our strength
578
:you don't need to go to the Amazon or Antarctica
579
:or whatever you don't have to go to those places
580
:to get to the highest
581
:you don't even have to climb to the top of Mount
582
:Everest

:the video and then the next video
599
:we're gonna chant the Mahamantra 108 times
600
:the head bead we don't chant on that
601
:but we just touch it
602
:to pay respects to all of our teachers
603
:to the Supreme Being
604
:to his incarnations and his dis avatars
605
:and to his messengers
606
:may peace be upon them
607
:may peace be upon all of us

609
:and then we we
610
:we pay respects to our lineage and our teachers
611
:on the head bead
612
:and then we chant on the very first bead
613
:the middle finger and the thumb of the right hand
614
:if you're left handed use your left hand
615
:the reason that we don't if we're right handed
616
:we don't use the left is typically in a civil society
617
:we don't use paper to wipe our bottom
618
:we use soap and water and we use our left hand
619
:that's why people eat with the right hand
620
:that are right handed in most countries
621
:but don't get caught up in formalities
622
:there's no hard and fast rules to chanting these names
623
:but it is recommended to chant them out loud
624
:to chant them loud enough
625
:so that they keep your mind and intelligence
626
:and consciousness engaged
627
:and surrendered to and sort of absorbed in the names
628
:mantra manas to give shelter
629
:Protection to the mind
630
:or to take the mind off the material Maya
631
:man and world and onto the spiritual eternal god world
632
:and that will satisfy you perfectly
633
:because you are not made of matter
634
:you are not the body
635
:I am not the body we are not the body
636
:we're not the subtle body
637
:the mind we're actually the eternal life force
638
:the eternal living entity
639
:the spirit soul soul
640
:the energy force the soul force
641
:we are that you are that I'm that she is that
642
:we're all that
643
:and the Supreme Being is the source of all that
644
:so if you want to go back to the transcendental realm
645
:and get closer and closer to the highest place
646
:the abode of the Supreme Being
647
:and he's not there alone he's
648
:it's a big party in the spiritual kingdom
649
:everyone is there's no birth
650
:old age disease and death
651
:there's no enmity or jealousy of god
652
:in the material world everyone here is trying to be god
653
:to be the Lord to be the master
654
:to be the enjoyer and controller
655
:we're acting against our actual
656
:natural position and function and identity
657
:so if you want to learn your real identity
658
:and then be able to act upon your real identity
659
:and enjoy

:we've been privy to that
673
:we're also getting the benefit every single day

683
:it refers to the material world
684
:it refers to the spiritual world
685
:it refers to the supreme being
686
:God Krishna who is all attractive and attracts all
687
:the hare is the vocative of harah

689
:spiritual counterpart of the supreme being
690
:the feminine aspect of god
691
:there is feminine for all you feminists
692
:there's the feminine aspect of god
693
:for all you masculinists
694
:there's the masculine aspect of god
695
:for all you realists there's both
696
:a hint of beta beta but we're all simultaneously one
697
:yet distinct with and from god
698
:we're one with him and also separate from him
699
:we're one with each other and separate from each other
700
:all at the same time
701
:this is the pure perfection of Lord Chaitanya's
702
:teachings and being
703
:and example
704
:and as we approach Easter
705
:also of Christ of Nazareth
706
:the Christ
707
:a Christ he said the least among you is capable of
708
:what I have done and more
709
:he's encouraging each and every single one of us
710
:to become a Christ to become worthy of being a Christ
711
:not to be Jesus of Nazareth
712
:he's a distinct person
713
:we don't try to put ourselves in a league with him
714
:but he did admonish us
715
:to become worthy of being anointed
716
:by a living spiritual master
717
:he took John as his living spiritual master his cousin
718
:who was shocked but who did what he asked
719
:he said no
720
:this is how it must be done
721
:here's an example if you want to truly follow Christ
722
:but a Christ if you want to follow Jesus of Nazareth
723
:then follow his teachings
724
:and in order to follow his teachings
725
:you really need to understand what he was doing
726
:and talking about
727
:and that comes to us through other sages and saints
728
:and spiritual masters
729
:who really know Jesus of Nazareth
730
:and we're so thankful that we have
731
:it's difficult to find somebody
732
:who's really experienced
733
:yes yes I mean
734
:I everyday think about the things he would say
735
:but mostly he chanted chanted on his beads
736
:chanted kirtan chanted
737
:so let's chant together
738
:we're gonna do a full hundred and eight names
739
:uh for 100 and eight
740
:one round of the Maha mantra typically
741
:uh different teachers give different amounts
742
:in different ages according to time
743
:place and circumstance
744
:there's no judgment of any of the teachers uh
745
:criticisms we don't wanna criticize anyone actually
746
:but we're going to chant on each bead one Maha mantra
747
:Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna
748
:Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare
749
:and if it's safe and appropriate to do so
750
:you can kind of half close your eyes
751
:so you don't fall asleep
752
:but you're not distracted by all the stuff around you
753
:I often quote
754
:half close my eyes and I just stare a little bit
755
:my gaze my dristy
756
:my gaze on the sort of between the eyebrows
757
:it's a very easy place of focus
758
:the eyes aren't like going all over the place
759
:like in REM sleep
760
:you just really surrender and relax into the sound
761
:vibration
762
:the Transcendental Sacred Yoga sound vibration
763
:and you don't have to work it hard at it
764
:just keep your focus and attention on the Maha mantra

770
:we'll also get the benefit
771
:I know many of you out there love to help others
772
:well the greatest gift you can give others
773
:is reminding them of their eternal identity
774
:position function as all living spiritual souls
775
:as living eternal living servants of the Supreme Being
776
:loving living servants of the Supreme Being
777
:and we do that effectively and quickly

779
:is through the hearing and repeating of
780
:God's name so we use the Maha mantra
781
:now
782
:the Maha mantra is not owned by any particular group
783
:it's for everybody no one sect or faith
