guru gaitri mantra. This mantra encodes the eight facets of the infinite and serves as a tool for attracting prosperity and dissolving subconscious fears. Ultimately, it acts as a conduit to Source energy, or the universal flow. Given by Guru Gobind Singh after a long meditation, he explained that there would come a time in life when one feels utterly without courage : helpless, hopeless, and longing to reach God consciousness. In such moments, he taught, the Guru Gaitri Mantra can be turned to for strength, carrying us through. Its power is said to give life to anything, and beyond cleansing the subconscious mind, it also balances the hemispheres of the brain, cultivating patience and compassion in those who meditate upon it.
