Would you like to be
forgiven for all the mistakes of your past?
And on the other hand, have you forgiven everybody
who's ever done you wrong in your past?
We like to say everyone makes mistakes, and to
forgive is divine. But we struggle
with the idea of practicing it
in our daily lives, whether we are asking for it
or whether we have to give it. So today, I thought I'll talk about
this topic because it beautifully connects us to another
ancient chant from India. Namaste.
Hello and welcome to yet another brand new episode.
I'm your host, Preeti, and in today's episode, we
are talking about forgiveness. Like I
said, it is baffling why we
are unable to forgive certain people for certain
things, even though those things may have transpired
way in the past. Now this baffles
me even more now, after I've become
a mother. Because now I can see my
capacity, our human capacity
to forgive, so unconditionally.
I say this because when my child does something
naughty, does something mischievous, breaks something, or goes
against something that I'm asking of him,
after a few seconds, I simply let it
go. I simply forgive. Of course. I let him
know that what he did was wrong. And I try to explain to
him why he shouldn't do that again. But after that,
I really want to let it go. I really
want to forgive him. Not for his sake,
not so that he can be free and move on and do the
next thing, but for my sake. Because
honestly, after a few seconds,
I really want to hold my kid again. I really want to go back
to playing with him. I want to go back to
laughing with him, reading him a story, just being
happy. I want to go back to that
feeling. Now, expanding this into
our very real, very adult, sometimes
harsh world. Perhaps we should forgive
people not for their sake, but
so that our memories of certain
places, certain things we loved, certain qualities
we used to have, certain experiences of our
past, are not polluted,
are not stained by this thing that went
wrong. For example, if you loved
watching sunsets and you would watch the sunset with
this one person who hurt you, and if you
don't forgive, then every sunset you watch will at
some point remind you of that terrible experience. And
eventually it will rob you of that joy of watching a
sunset, or having a specific dish,
or pursuing a certain dream. As
long as you hold on to these
feelings of hurt, as long as you decide
to withhold your forgiveness,
you will keep experiencing the
pollution of all the things
you love. You will keep experiencing
this unnecessary trigger of
anger or resentment or frustration,
even when you're doing something that you absolutely
love. So perhaps we should forgive so that we can
enjoy the things we love more without them
being stained by something that's happened in the past without them being
polluted by bottled up feelings.
Instead, when we see another sunset,
and when we do think of that person who hurt us,
we still value the joy of that sunset
more than that one incident, than the
words and actions that are just echoes coming from
the past. And if you're worried that
you may have unintentionally caused someone
pain or hurt someone by doing something
wrong, and if you wish to seek
forgiveness for such unintentional
actions, then simply say
Sarvam Kshamasva,
Sarvam
Kshamasva.
Forgive me for everything.
Sarvam
Kshamaswa.
That is the perspective that sort of changed what
forgiveness meant for me and I'm really hoping that it
opened up something for you as well. And speaking of
forgiveness, I know we sometimes need
time and space to process what's happened in the past
before we can forgive someone. I know we
need to be in a calm, composed,
almost meditative state sometimes to really
be able to let go. And for
that purpose, the perfect mantra that you
can listen to meditate with is the
Samudra Vasani Devi Mantra.
This chant is dedicated to
Goddess Earth, Mother Earth, who
is the most forgiving. Through this
mantra we seek to awaken that
capacity within ourselves, that natural capacity to
forgive, unconditionally and
wisely move on to more
joyful things and experiences in our lives.
That is the intention of this mantra. And
if you are someone who is finding it difficult
to forgive yourself or seek
forgiveness from someone who you know you've
wronged, then perhaps use this mantras to
visualize in your imagination what you
cannot still do in reality.
Visualize how exactly you would
like to ask for forgiveness, visualize how exactly
you would like to heal the relationship. And
then one day perhaps you will feel clear
enough, confident enough to use your voice
and your words to ask for forgiveness.
That is the power of the Samudra Vasani
Devi Mantras. On our YouTube Mantra
channel, this mantra has perhaps the most
personally moving, the most personally
powerful stories of love and forgiveness when compared
to all the other mantras. There are people who
have embraced this mantra and it has helped them
express their emotions and release old
emotions gently and safely.
I'm going to read to you just two of those comments from the
YouTube thread. One of them says, "My
mom passed away last week. I've been listening to this
multiple times a day. It's really helping me.
Now, the reason I'm sharing this comment is that there are
a lot of us who have lost our mother figures,
who have lost the people whom we wish we
had asked for forgiveness. And spending a
little time with this mantras can perhaps even ease
that burden that is weighing on your heart." The other
comment says, "I feel so much love from
the music and the voice. It brings tears.
Thank you". Well, if the mantra
is moving you in such an emotional
way, you can be certain that it touched and
moved me as well while I was in
the process of rendering this mantra for you. This
is definitely one of the most soothing,
most emotionally calming mantras
that I have ever come across. And so
if there is anything, any guilt, any
shame, any anger weighing down on your heart,
then this is definitely a mantra that you should try listening
to. If you haven't heard this mantra yet, or if

that, this is me Preeti signing
off and promising to be back with another beautiful
episode and another beautiful mantra. Until
then, keep forgiving, keep listening and
stay blessed.
