“The sound current created by this mantra is said to bring self-elevation, prosperity, happiness, and to shield us from discomfort and disease.
The practice invokes a variation on the Guru Gaitri Mantra, with four Har’s added to each line. The Guru Gaitri Mantra was written by the 10th Sikh Guru, Guru Gobind Singh, who was a spiritual master, warrior, poet and philosopher.
In chanting, pay attention to your tongue as you create the sounds. Har is pronounced like “hud,” and as you roll the r, the tip of the tongue should touch the roof of the mouth, ideally behind the front teeth.”
