Do you know the earliest example of a mother's
love for her child?
When you were in her arms as a baby,
her heartbeat and your heartbeat were
perfectly synchronized. If your
heartbeat went up, her heartbeat went up as well.
If her breathing were shallow or deep, your
breathing would immediately catch up to her
rhythm. This rhythm between
mother and child is what we're gonna talk about today.
Hello and welcome to Mahagata's meditation Mantras as
I'm the host of this podcast, Preeti, and I welcome
you to yet another brand new episode.
In this episode, We are going to explore one of
the most unconditional, most loving
relationship and bonds and rhythms
of all time. That is the bond between a mother and
a child. Now, I don't mean to get you
all emotional, thinking about your mother. You must be in the middle
of a busy day. But You have
to acknowledge that thinking about your mother and
you as a child and thinking about that bond,
Shift something within you. It calls forth
an emotional response when you think about
your childhood with your mother. Whether you are
recalling the many happy memories with your
mother, or the songs she used to sing you,
and put you to sleep are the stories she would read you. are the
fun things both of you would do together, or
whether you are remembering, more intense,
more painful, or even more regretful
things. Either way, positive or
negative, there is a very hardwired
emotional response when we remember our mothers.
And the example I gave you in the beginning of this episode
only goes to prove that even biologically,
the bond, the conversation, the relationship,
the give and take between a mother and a child,
is present right from the beginning.
This rhythm, this connection takes many different forms
as the child grows up and the mother grows older.
And it may not be so apparent anymore. There may be
glimpses of it when the mother is the first person
to have an intuition that something's wrong with the
child. If the child is unwell or struggling
financially or otherwise. It may take subtler
forms, but that bond that rhythm
is always there. If you slow down,
she slows down. If you catch
up, she catches up. And whether
we have our beloved mothers in our lives right now
or not, there is one form of a
mother that we all share. This
mother is patient. This mother is giving
generous selfless. This mother provides you
with everything you need and desire in
this lifetime. Right from oxygen to
the roof over your head. It is this mother
who provides for everything.
And that is our mother earth.
And just like the mothers who give birth to us,
Mother nature also has an
irreplaceable rhythm
with all of her children, including you and me.
Now, this connection between
you and I and the vastness of mother
nature may not always be visible, but it's
always there. For instance,
if we, her children, are experiencing unrest
and ill health, and
rage or stress.
Then if we look around, We'll see the
same unrest, the same ill health,
the same lack of prosperity, the same rage,
same unevenness instability
in mother nature. We see
calamity, we see depletion, we see extinction,
we see the loss of so many
valuable Resources in nature.
Well, it seems she's just trying to catch
up with us. On the flip side, the
more we consciously move
towards well-being, the more We consciously
move towards abundance and kindness
and giving and love. The
more abundance in beauty, and
renewal we see in nature.
Her lakes and rivers are refreshed. The seasons
are brighter and the weather is kinda.
After all, like we were in a birth
mother's arms. We are
in mother nature's lap as well.
So it makes sense that she responds to
us. She matches to our heartbeat.
She matches to our temperament, to our
emotion, and our intentions, she
matches up, like the heartbeat of our birth
mothers matched up to ours.
And when we look at our relationship with Mother Earth
in such a way, a completely new
approach towards the environment,
towards conservation, towards nature, opens
up. Understanding her as mother
and you as child, you can now recognize
her calamity, her unrest, her
lack of well-being. And you can
try to change the rhythm by
focusing on well-being, focusing on prosperity,
focusing on kindness and giving it away easily.
And surely enough, if all of us
as the human race and as children of mother nature,
can take charge of this rhythm.
That loving mother who listens to
us, who nurtures us, She will be abundant
from our intention for abundance.
She will be healthy and free from our intention
to be healthy and free in our lives. And
so in today's episode, I want you to join
me in saying to mother earth,
Mamta Namami.
Mall
Maul
me.
Mall
No more me.
Through this little chant, we have lowered
our heads, joined our hands, and asked for mother's
blessings. We have asked for her grace. We
have given her our gratitude, and
we seek for her. to keep
reciprocating to us like she always has.
And in speaking to mother earth in this way, We have
also touched the nerve and soothed the
nerve that connects us to our birth
mothers. Speaking of these phenomenal
female figures we had in our lives, our
first heroes are first friends.
I want to introduce to you a mantra that is dedicated
to the mother form of
the earth. And that mantra is called
the Yajdevi Mantra. This
chant is traditionally practiced every
morning, ideally in the company of nature.
And the purpose of this chant is to simply
acknowledge our connection with nature and bow to
her for forgiveness, for blessings.
By chanting this mantra, a lot of our listeners have unexpectedly
sensed a connection with their birth mothers
and felt an inner healing taking place
within them. Many of these listeners either had a
strained relationship with their mother or unfortunately
had lost their mothers, and this Mantras became
a beautiful, unexpected way.
of keeping that rhythm between mother and
child alive. And so quickly, I'm gonna read
you two comments from the YouTube thread of this
mantra. The first one says, dear Mahakathad
team, you are saving lives out here. You should
know. May the great mother continue guiding you?
My love and gratitude to you all. Thank you
so much dear listener for this comment that made our
day here at Mahakita. It love and
support and kindness like this that keeps us
going. Your stories keep us going.
The second one says, so pleasant that I
can feel my mother everywhere.
Thank you, dear listener, for this comment as well. This
is really the essence of this mantra.
to help you feel the guidance of
your mother of the divine female
heroes in your life who've helped you grow up and be the
person you are. This mantra connects them with
you. no matter where they are, no matter where you are.
And like we discussed in this episode, this
mantra can be a beautiful way of bringing
back the rhythm between us and our
