once upon a time, an aging king of a prosperous
empire set a task for his 2 young
sons. He gave each of them an old
rusty coin which was next to worthless and told
them, go buy the best thing you can in change for this
rusty old coin and place it in your room.
You have until after sunset tomorrow. Because
then, once I see what you found, I will know
which one of you is on the right path to being
king. but nothing prepared the good
old king for what he was about to see the following
evening. namaste, and welcome to Mahakata's
meditation, Mantras. I'm your host Preeti, and
today, I'm here with another very special episode.
I'm thrilled that you're here because today, I'm gonna introduce you to
one of the most energetic of all ancient mantras.
Before that, let me circle back to the story that we
opened with today, the king and his 2 young sons.
So the sons set out to complete this bizarre
test given by their father.
And after a harrowing day, it was finally
time. The sun had set and this great
king of the people walked into his son's
rooms 1 by 1 curious and
eager to see if they had passed the test.
He approached the first son's room and even
before he could open the doors,
every inch of his being was repulsed by a
strange stench. He
somehow mastered the courage to fling the door open.
and another huge waft of stinging
smell attacked him. as he opened
his eyes and looked around the room. He
saw heaps and heaps of garbage.
He turned to look around at his son who seemed to be proud
of himself. After all, He believed
that it was the best thing he could find for that worthless
coin, and he filled his room with it.
Sharly he thought, I've passed the test.
The king was taken aback and speechless at what he
saw. but the real surprise was
waiting for him in the other room.
Humbly, The other son led him to his own room,
that king was already bracing himself for what he was
about to see. And right there in
the center of the room was the smallest
little candle, almost completely
molten down, but shining
radiantly bright. Its flame
managed to create a cloud of light in the
otherwise dark room.
The king stood in silence. At that moment,
he knew which son had made it through.
One had filled his room with garbage and
stench and darkness while the
other had filled his room with
light.
I hope you enjoyed the story. I was in about
6th or 7th grade when I heard it for the first time, and I've never
been able to forget it since.
Just like in the story, we may sometimes feel
that We have so little.
We may feel like we don't have much to offer
to the people we love, to the world we live in,
to our own dreams and aspirations. We might feel like
we've been handed a rusty old coin, and that's all.
But even if we don't have much else, we
always have are light to
give. This light could be a
smile to a stranger. This light could be a few kind
words to someone who you know is having a rough day. This
light could be, just being present or listening.
It doesn't cost much to let your light out into
the world. And so if you can't give anything
else, If you can't give money, if you can't
give time, if you can't give effort,
give your light. And so in today's
episode, I want you to join me in
invoking our inner light. in acknowledging
it and in promising that we will try and
be this light as often as we can.
So join me in affirming this chant to
yourself. Namu Jyotir.
Try to repeat after me or chant along with me,
Namu Jyotir. No
more
jilted.
No more jewel did
By repeating this chant to yourself, you are
affirming and accepting your inner light.
Your light of kindness, your light of forgiveness,
your light of love. Wonderful. I hope
you enjoyed chanting with me And speaking
of inner light and energy, let me introduce
you to the mantra for this episode. which is
the omjappa kussumamanthra. This is
a radiant, intense chant dedicated
to the sun god who is worshiped in several
cultures and has the place of a deity,
a god. in the Hindu culture as well.
Through this mantra, by chanting it every morning
or meditating with the mantra every morning, we allow
all our residual exhaustion and stress
to be cleansed out of our body and mind to derive
inspiration and energy and confidence
from the sun. Now, this mantra is
again one of the most loved mantras among all our
listeners at Mahakita. And to give you a glimpse of how
this mantra has helped so many of our listeners, I'm just
gonna read out from the endless thread on our YouTube
channel. One of our listeners commented, I
used to listen to this mantra every day driving to work at 7
AM. In a few months, I got my dream job I was
hoping for. That's wonderful to hear. And
yet, another listener shared this beautiful moment
While listening to this mantra, they said, I was happy to find
this mantra to play for the sun. As I was playing it,
I wondered if the sun could hear it and liked the mantra.
Then two birds landed on my window sill and chilled
out for a few minutes and flew off. I guess the son likes
this mantra. I believe he does. Thank you so much
for this comment. And if you haven't heard this mantra
