Sat Nam! Welcome to the third day of our 11-day journey of
Mantras with the Master. Every other day for these eleven days (May 19-29) we are exploring one mantra and hearing Yogi Bhajan chant it in his powerful voice. Today we highlight "Aap Sahaaee Hoaa. Sachay Daa Sachaa Doaa. Har, Har, Har." This beautiful Shabad was written by Guru Arjan Dev ji, the 5th Guru of the Sikhs, in Raag Sorath. It is a powerful mantra that is part of a longer prayer for protection.
Aap Sahaaee Hoaa. Sachay Daa Sachaa Doaa.
Har, Har, Har.
The mantra means, "You, Divine One, have become my refuge. True is Your support. Great Creative Infinite."
Yogi Bhajan said that this mantra takes away negativity from the surrounding environments and from within us. It is a gift that lets you penetrate into the unknown without fear and gives protection and mental balance.
The Master on the Mantra
"These words '
Aap sahaaee
hoaa sachay daa sachaa doaa...' are from Siri
Guru
Granth. T
he effectiveness of this is that, in your life there must be some animosity against you. We call this the square in the life. Sometimes you are told because of this, this is a square in your life. Therefore, you have to face this, go through it, bad luck and all that. These words will totally eliminate enemies and animosity forever. And the three words of 'Har, Har, Har' - with a powerful three
breath-of-fire,
can totally give you mental self-control, by yourself and your mental self, with control your all five
Tattvas
. The tape is exact sixty minutes and give yourself a chance to practice it sixty minutes each day. Do it for ninety days, you will experience this great miracle of the spoken word. It's my prayer and understanding that some of you are ready to look into the unknown areas of your Greater Self. Instead of being afraid of the unknown, make the unknown your friend and this is our first gift to you, it is a first opening, where you can penetrate through the unknown without fear. It is very simple. It is very rhythmic. It's very nobly done and it is helpful."
Yogi Bhajan, May 17th, 1983
In another lecture:
"What I am telling you is the most powerful thing. It is called Sudarshan
Chakra
. Sudarshan
Chakra
is the power [the circle] that you run on the finger and you can rotate the psyche of the universe [he shows a horizontal circular motion with the finger]. But this Sudarshan
Chakra
is between the heart and the
aura
, the arc line, it runs this way [he shows a vertical circular movement between the heart center, penetrating towards the back, up above the Tenth Gate and back to the heart center]. ...This 'Har, Har' should come at the heart, '
Aap sahaaee
hoaa sachay daa sachaa doaa' [makes a circular movement from heart, over the head, and], 'har har har,' should come here [back at the heart center]. This is how it goes. It is penetrating at the heart center; it goes backwards; comes up and then comes back here [to the heart center]. If you just circulate the energy this way, it gives you the piston power. So mentally from one 'Har' [at the heart center], '
Aap sahaaee
hoaa sachay daa sachaa doaa' [circulating back and over the head], and here comes 'Har, Har' [back at the heart center]. If you just circulate the energy mentally that way, I think in eleven minutes we can find it out. Let us do it."
