In my younger years I was a monk in India for 10 years. I practiced yoga & meditation with some of the most enlightened gurus. I received initiation into the most secret practices of Kundalini Yoga.

MY MANTRA digital ART:
On my art paintings I have added digital mantra content. Its been “doodling fun”.
However I have saved them here in a folder. make of them what you will.














I have a Multi-faith perspective regarding my religious beliefs.
I am focused on what has worked for me, & am now not affiliated to any path, group, or movement, (except my own!). However I do believe that Divine Grace has got me where I am, & now guides me. (And illuminates me about the Mantras that I use)
I seek to share my experience & knowledge as a service to others, whilst respecting totally others beliefs, & what may work best for you.

Om Divine Grace Yoga (The latest book -read in segments here)
Spiritual Path
Has several components:
Mantra Yoga – the main foundation.
Kundalini Yoga – Using mantras to connect with the Chakras and awaken the Kundalini Shakti – power.
Tantric Yoga – connecting with the Divine Goddess energy that constitute all phenomena.
Shakta Yoga – connecting devotionally with the Goddess Devi. (Durga, Saraswati, Kali, Tara etc.)
Vedanta – the philosophy of the Upanishads & of its proponents. (Shankaracharya etc.).
OM or AUM is the overarching mantra that signifies the whole universe including all transcendental states.
Repetition of OM generates Brahma Gyana – knowledge of Brahma the Universal Cosmic Consciousness, & Atma Gyana – knowledge of the Divine Individual Consciousness.
Divine Grace is the Goddess Grace obtained through devotional practices, (including the repetition of mantras & mediation on the Ishta Devi & Chakras).
The Ishta Devi is ones “chosen” Devi, (with a focus on Tara Devi in this Spiritual Path).
Mantras used are primarily Bija or “seed” mantras.
For the chakra meditation:
Om Aim Hrim Shrim Krim Klim are used. (Aum, Aiim, Hriim, Kriim, Kliim)
For the Tara devotionals:
Tam Trim are used. (Tam, Triim).
Other mantra or combination are used.
All mantas should be ‘empowered” by the Guru or the Ishta Devi. They are thus transmitted also both verbally & through the subtle Yogic Energy called Shakti Paat. (Transfer of Shakti or Goddess energy)
Latest book (Amazon): Therapeutic Journeys to Self-Realisation
(Amazon paperback & eBook).
Several years ago I created three Kundalini Tutorials in YouTube.
They are in a PowerPoint format with verbal explanations.
Also at one side I am in a video whilst practicing this meditation using Mantras. There is some “swaying” which is due to the energies passing through the Chakras.
I don’t always do my meditation this way now, so rather present some “kundalini effects” for illustrative purposes.
Here is the link.
