A Powerful Mantra To Purify The Mind

One of the first techniques my Nepali yogi-brother taught me was the "Om Namah Shivaya" mantra. I was told that the sound vibrations of the mantra served to purify and cleanse our whole being and that with sincere, loving dedication and determination, all hurdles to self-realization would be easily overcome. While having Hindu origins, this mantra is in no way sectarian for it is a salutation to the ultimate Truth that exists within us all.
