About This Mantra
Aad Guray Nameh is the Mangala Charan mantra from the Sikh tradition, a protective prayer that creates a field of light around the practitioner. The mantra invokes the Guru principle -- the divine wisdom that removes darkness -- in four successive dimensions: primal (aad), throughout the ages (jugaad), true (sat), and great invisible (siri guru dev). This fourfold invocation creates protection at every level of existence.
How to Chant
Chant three times consecutively for protection. In the Kundalini Yoga tradition, this mantra always opens a practice session, following the Adi Mantra (Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo). It can also be chanted independently at any moment when protection is needed. While chanting, visualize a cocoon of white or golden light surrounding you completely -- above, below, and on all sides.
