Namaste,
This is Deva Vasudha.
Welcome to the exploration of the mantra Om Sarva Dukkha Harayana Maha.
The meaning of this mantra is to bring about happiness regardless of the situation.
It is a mantra that is suitable to be used for depression or anxiety.
It is an antidote to sadness and misery,
Automatically invoking the kind of positive energy that will counter the inner condition.
Anyone can have periods in life where depression seems to come out of nowhere,
Or where there are situations that makes you feeling depressed.
This mantra helps powerfully.
So let us chant together,
One hundred and eight times.
Don't mind the counting,
I will count for you.
Just make sure you are sitting in a comfortable position,
With a straight spine,
And breathe in and out.
I will repeat the words for you a few times,
And you can also find it written down in the description of this guided mantra meditation.

Dukkha is Pali,
The variation of Sanskrit,
And it means a lot of things.
Everything temporary is dukkha,
Including happiness.
To suffer is part of life,
We have to accept it.
So breathe in just once more.
Dukkha.
Breathe out just once more.
Dukkha.
Feel true suffering.
Embrace it.
Acknowledge that it's part of life.
Know that when suffering is gone,
You won't necessarily be happy.
All are temporary.
Breathe in.
Haraya.
And breathe out.
Haraya.
Haraya is another word for Shiva.
Shiva is one of the Indian deities,
And he is seen as the destroyer,
Or rather the transformer.
So by breathing in his name,
Breathing out his name,
You may be able to transform your depression or anxiety.
Namaha,
Which means solutions.
Make a deep bow for the situation you are in.
Solutions to dukkha.
Haraya.
Start with that,
The situation you are in.
Just bow,
No matter what the situation is.
If you are able to touch the ground with your hands,
Your head,
Do so.
Or do this in your mind.
Bow and touch the ground with your hands,
Your head.
Bow for the situation.
Know that all are temporary.
Bow to acknowledge that to suffer is part of life.
Acknowledge and embrace it.
Nothing lasts forever.
Have a beautiful day,
Evening or night.
All blessings to you.
Namaste.
