The third principle is - abundance is our basic nature. The lack of poverty consciousness that we have associated with that we don't have enough, we are not enough, we are not doing enough, being enough, having enough. Mantras can help us transcend this limited poverty consciousness and lack of consciousness.

This mantra is called the morning mantra. When you wake up in the morning, when you get up, you open your eyes, and you open your palms, and you visualize because if you remember in the introductory session, we said; what we think we become, what we feel we attract, and what we visualize we create.

So by visualizing, we are creating this, and we look at our palm and visualize at the tip of our palm is the principle of abundance. In the middle of your palm, you invoke and visualize the principle of wisdom, and at the base of your palm, you visualize the all and compassing universal energy.

How can your day go? Badly or in a limited way? When invoking an abundance of wisdom and universal energy, you set your mood, mind, thoughts, feelings, and visualization so it's like your GPS for the day. 

So this mantra goes like this Karakre Vasate Lakshmi, at the tips of my hand resides the energy of material abundance. Lakshmi is also known as Shree and is an archetype of material abundance. 

Karamadhye Sarasvati, in the center of my hand, resides the energy of spiritual and ultimate wisdom. 

Karamule tu Govinda, at the base of my hand, resides the supreme consciousness. 

Prabhate Karadarshanam, I invoke these three energies at dawn. Prabhate is dawn, early morning. It may not be early morning, literally. It can be at the beginning of the day, a project, a year, or anything you are invoking, setting the GPS into material abundance, spiritual wisdom, and supreme consciousness. Suppose you believe in the principle of entrainment, which physics corroborates. In that case, you will resonate or raise yourself to resonate at these three energies; material abundance, spiritual wisdom, and supreme consciousness.

So these are the three mantras I wanted to discuss for the beginner mantra meditation. And, of course, the common mantra is Om, Shree, Shanti, Namaha, and Swaha. 

Now the practice suggestions. These mantras are beginner meditations that can be done anytime and anywhere, and it does not require any preparation. 

And if you ask how many times to practice these mantras, certain numbers have been recommended. So if you can do the very minimum, once. Three is a very powerful number because the universe manifests itself in three. We say Shanti three times. We have the creative, preservation, and dissolution principles, for three is a powerful number, and nine is an extremely powerful number. Any multiples of 9, 18, 27, 36, 54, and 108, depending on your time and inclination, can use any of these numbers.

And the two other numbers, 11 and 12. 11 invokes feminine energy, and 12 is masculine energy. So these, you can do the mantra one time, three times, nine times, 11 times, 12 times, 18 times, and all multiples of nine, culminating at 108.

You can chant these mantras any time, anywhere; and what helps also is, if you want to see the impact of this mantra, commit to a certain time, a certain number of practices, and create an alter; and in that alter, you place things that resonate with your higher consciousness, whatever you look up to, or anything that inspires you, and then you can do this mantra.

It's like looking at the flag of your country. That flag is not your country, but when you look at it, it reminds you that that is what it stands for. That is what I'm striving towards. So that’s why creating an altar is very important. 

The intention behind your mantra meditation matters a lot. If you're doing it out of fear, it is not necessarily the best way to do it. It will help you because you have to learn to make your faith bigger than your fear because, remember, what we feel we attract, not what we want. So if you are feeling fearful, you are attracting more people, circumstances, and situations that'll make you more fearful. So, develop faith in whatever inspires you in your tradition, culture, or religion. It doesn't have to come from a different religion or culture. So, your intention and faith, it's very powerful. That is alchemy, the mystical element that changes everything.
