Hello, dear listener. How have you been?
This is Preeti from Mahakatha meditation mantras
and I'm here to tell you that today could be the
beginning of possibly one of the best weeks of your
life. That's right. Starting from this
very episode, it could be the beginning of one of
the best, happiest, most
fulfilling weeks of your life. Let me tell you
more about it before I introduce you to today's
beautiful mantra. If
you go to bed early tonight and if you wake up
tomorrow before sunrise, before it is light
everywhere, and you sit quietly in
your living room, in your bedroom, or at your
desk with only a dim light in that space.
And only an open notebook and a pen in
front of you. Then
whatever you decide in that dimly lit room
will dictate Whatever happens outside of
it when the sun rises.
I repeat, whatever you deide In
that dimly lit room will dictate
what happens around you when the
sun rises. When you hold that pen in your hand and you
start writing in that notebook, What you're writing
is not some light journaling or some list
of dreams or anything vague or wishful like
that. What you're really writing
is instructions for the universe
for it to create the kind of day that you
want to experience. You are
instructing the universe.
You are directing the universe to create the kind
of day, the kind of experience,
the kind of experience that you want.
This is the authority. This is the confidence
with with which you should be sitting in that dimly lit room
where all the curtains are closed and it is still dark
outside and it should just be you and
your mind. This is an
approach to journaling that might work for
people who have tried journaling and it hasn't worked out for
them or they struggle to create a consistent
habit out of journaling or they find that it's not a very
effective practice for them. This
is an approach that you should definitely try.
Try to think of it as an activity
where you are in charge, where you
are drafting the outline
of the day you want to experience. Now
on days when you fail to do that, on days when
for whatsoever reason, you do not Write down these instructions for the
universe before the sun rises.
Then the universe has no specific guidelines
on what kind of day, what kind of experience it should weave
together for you. Then in that case,
The universe will deliver a default
response. It will deliver you a completely random
and uncertain day that can go either
way, to be honest. It can either leave you feeling happy at the
end of the day or leave you feeling disappointed
or it could take you through a lot of different
challenges and a lot of different emotions
and experiences that you may feel
unprepared for. And why
does this happen? And why do we experience
such a day? Because we didn't write a draft. We
didn't send in our order. We didn't send in our directions.
But the universe still has to function. Right? The sun
still has to rise. The weather still has to change. The
birds and the bees, and the people in your universe have to still be
there and play their role and do their jobs. So
the universe will give you the default setting of
any random unprogrammed day.
These are the kind of days that
most of us are living right now.
Random unprogrammed days.
Instead, try asking the universe what you want.
Wake up before the sun and give the
universe a sense of direction, a
theme, or a plot that it can work with and it
can flesh out. Do it before the
world around you wakes up when there is this serene
silence. And once you've done this task in
the morning, then through the rest of the
day, you have one job.
Focus on finding any evidence
and signs of the universe following your
script. That's it.
Once you have done the task of asking for what
you want, You spend the rest of the
day looking for evidence of the Universe
following your script and delivering the experience
you asked for. For example,
I asked for more happiness today. Is that why I'm
noticing so many wonderful things this morning? Is that why
I suddenly remember the words to an old favorite
song. Is that why the roses at the florist around the
corner look extra red and bright today? Is
that why I saw that mother and daughter happily walking
and singing to school today morning. That must
be why I'm noticing So many things that feel good.
Or, I asked for a successful day
today. Is that why I crossed 2 green lights instead
of getting stuck with the red ones as usual. Is that
why I look and feel confident today? Is that
Why my mind feels so clear on certain things? Is that
why my desk feels so easy to organize today and
Ideas are just easily flooding into my mind
today. Look for such evidence
of your script, of your instructions being followed.
Even the smallest pieces of evidence and
acknowledge them and ignore the rest.
Ignore the colleagues that belittle you, the unkind
strangers that you come across. Ignore the
imperfections of your body, your outfit, your makeup,
the small accidents or mistakes, Or the
smallness of numbers in your bank account or even the
terrible headlines in the newspaper, ignore the rest of
it all. Look for the evidence of what
you asked for. Find it and you will
only ever find more and more of it.
Catch its trail and it will fill up your path.
It's like being a songwriter and writing the lyrics to a
song every morning before the sun is up and
then when the sun does rise, You look around
and throughout the day, the universe will choreograph
to your lyrics in more beautiful and
graceful ways than you can imagine, dear listener.
That is how we create and manifest
and experience the kind of day we want the kind
of reality we want. If we can just
be up early, sit down in that
wise, clear darkness with dim lights
with mostly silence, and write down our
directions for the universe, Then the
universe will jump at the chance of following them in
the most subtle, the most beautiful ways.
And in your instructions, don't tell the universe
exactly what to do. Don't tell it exactly
what you want to see or how you want certain people to
behave or certain events to take place. Just
give it a vision. Leave enough room
for the universe to figure out the details
of how it is going to deliver the experience you asked
for. Do this every morning
and I'm sure you're gonna come back to me saying, "Preeti, I've been doing this
for a week and it has been the best week of my life so far."
I can't wait for you to try this and
hear back from you. You know, you can always drop me an
email at preeti@mahakatha.com and share your experience
of such experiments that we discuss on this
podcast. I would love to hear how it's been going
for you and to go with this ritual, my dear listener,
there is an ancient mantra that won't let
you down and that mantra is the Pranamya
Shirasa Devam mantra. This mantra
is so deeply rooted in Hindu tradition
that it still plays as the first
sound of the morning. The 1st
chant of the morning in many traditional Hindu
households even before the sun rises.
The Pranamya Shirasa Devam mantra is a prayer
to Lord Ganesha who is known as the
bestower of all prosperity and the God of
auspicious beginnings. That's what makes this
mantra perfect for that surge of
energy, for that surge of divine guidance that
we activate through this act of writing down
before dawn. So when you wake up tomorrow morning
before dawn. Play this mantra in a soft volume,
sit in a dimly lit room, and don't have any distractions
in front of you. Nothing apart from a
notebook and a pen and then you take a deep
breath and you begin instructing,
directing, guiding the universe. And
I really hope that you enjoy this activity,
that you form a rhythm with the universe, that you feel a connection
to the universe and that this mantra
helps you gain more benefit and a greater outcome
out of this daily habit. Dear listener, I
hope you get to practice it consistently until we meet
again in the next episode. And hopefully by then, you will
have wonderful results to share with me. On that
note, I'm offering you the Pranamya Shirasa Devam mantra
at a 30% discount. So you can begin with this
ritual and really give it a try. So go ahead and
use the discount code mentioned in the description of this episode and bring

and notice the difference it makes in your
life. Keep meditating. Keep following your
bliss and I will see you on the next episode
