Lamma Studios is pleased to present this mantra meditation, a short practice of the Kundalini mantra “Sa Ta Na Ma”, in collaboration with Nature Yoga Hong Kong (http://natureyoga.com.hk/), with teacher Brenda Pang and musician DJ Josué. Thanks also to our good friend Pragnya Wakhlu (http://www.pragnyawakhlu.com/) for her vocal assistance.

Kirtan Kriya, often referred to as SA TA NA MA meditation, is the most important meditation in Kundalini Yoga. It was one of the first meditations taught by Yogi Bhajan and remains today as a foundation meditation recommended for every student. Yogi Bhajan said that if you can do only one meditation, this is it. SA TA NA MA incorporates the nuclear sounds of SAT NAM. SA TA NA MA uses the primal sounds to connect us to the evolutionary nature of existence itself. It is referred to as the panch shabd, which means a mantra with five sound currents. The fifth sound is “A.” When we chant SA TA NA MA we imprint the evolutionary code of the universe into our human psyche. SA is the beginning, infinity, the totality of everything that ever was, is or will be. TA is life, existence and creativity that manifests from infinity. NA is death, change and the transformation of consciousness. MA is rebirth, regeneration and resurrection which allows us to consciously experience the joy of the infinite. SA TA NA MA is so primal that its impact on our psyche is like splitting an atom. The power of his mantra comes from the fact that it rearranges the subconscious mind at the most elementary level. It has the power to break habits and addictions because it accesses the level of the mind where habits are created.
