Ong Namo 的力量 （ The Power of Ong Namo ）

這篇文章由 Elizabeth Gurmukh 於 2020 年 2 月撰寫。 

在元旦那天，我們近40個聲音一起吟唱 Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo 的聲音是美麗動人的、深深而甜蜜的。 第二天，在麗思卡爾頓健身房，一個從未做過昆達里尼瑜伽的學生在課程結束時問我：「 那美妙的唱誦是什麼？」 我以為她指的是我們很多人喜歡的 Spirit Voyage 音樂合輯，但卻正是我們的開場唱誦引起了她的注意。

Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo，唱三次，向內在無限的提升性創造意識鞠躬。 如果它在你的練習中只是一種「哼唱」，或者你還沒有在課堂上能夠吟誦它，那麼下次吟誦時要去真正傾聽自己的聲音，以瞭解透過這樣做，你正在「調頻」到對昆達里尼 Kriya 奎亞和冥想的最深刻理解被編碼的特定頻率，以便我們從這種練習中獲益最深遠。 

作為一名昆達里尼瑜伽教師，我經歷了一個與這個 Mantra 曼陀羅動態的過程，即我們的黃金鏈結，在不斷加深的層次上。 這就像不斷地再次愛上老朋友。

在我自己的練習中、當我教學生和培訓者時，我感到完全被這個 Mantra 曼陀羅所支持。我越是練習和教導調頻這個 Mantra 曼陀羅，它所能包含的空間就越大——並允許我自己和他人都能使用這個神奇的工具來發展我們的意識。 簡而言之，這個曼陀羅 Mantra 提煉了我們周圍和內心的能量。 

昆達里尼瑜伽老師應該將這些曼羅羅話語聯繫起來，作為一個機會，讓他們的假我在課堂上站到一邊去，讓體驗不是為了老師，而是為了學生騰出支持他們的空間，在那一刻，讓他們進入和經驗任何正確的。

這就是 Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo 的力量——謙卑使我們擺脫假我的控制傾向，讓我們感受到超越時間和空間的無限自我，看見我們所有的答案都在內在——我們可以從黑暗的無知轉向光明的領域。 Siri Singh Sahib Yogi Bhajan 對我來說就是正確的老師，因為他從未試圖把我開光、修整我、留住我，甚至以任何私人方法真正去關照我。 這並不是因為我沒有花時間和他在一起，他在 1982 年夏至的拖車營帳中親自給了我的名字，他讓我嫁給了我的第一任丈夫，有幾次也對我說了一些極為嚴肅的話——但他的建議當場並沒有直接影響到我的神經質——反倒是對於提升我的生活經驗，直接提供了我的正向行動。 一旦他給出這些，他就不干涉一路走到結果，這完全取決於我。

當我在2003年最後一次見到他時，他說的話對我來說非常有價值，「 謝謝你所做的一切，我們一直都在一起努力。」 這就是我需要從他身上看到的謙卑程度——最終知道他是真的高人。 我們像所有人一樣，有著人性和不完美，但他總激勵我們使用智慧和他教導我們這些驚人的技術，讓自己變得偉大和豐富。 

我跟你們每個人一樣都有同樣的感覺：我們一直都站在一起。我很感激， 每次你讓你的小我通往無限的心智去鞠躬，每次你吟唱 Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo 時，無論是和我在一起、還是和自己在一起或另一個老師、朋友在一起。 

我們很受到祝福，能在這個充滿疑惑和凡體脆弱的人類生活中，我感謝你與我分享這段時候的時空。

這是一個 Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo 的音樂版本：

On New Year’s Day, the sound of our nearly 40 voices chanting Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo together was gorgeous, deep and sweet.

Subbing at the Ritz-Carlton gym the next day, a student who had never done Kundalini yoga before asked me at the end of class, “What was that beautiful chant?” I thought she was referring to the Spirit Voyage collection of music which so many of us enjoy, but it was our opening chant that caught her attention.

Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo, sung three times, bowing to that infinite elevated creative consciousness within.

If it has become ‘ho-hum’ in your practice, or you have not yet chanted it in class, make it a point next time to really listen to your own voice as you chant, to understand that by doing so you are “tuning in” to a particular frequency where the deepest understanding of Kundalini kriya and meditation has been coded so that we might benefit most profoundly from this practice.

As a Kundalini yoga Teacher Trainer, I went through a dynamic process of relating to this mantra, our golden chain, on deepening levels. It was like falling in love again with an old friend.

I now feel completely supported by this mantra, for myself during my own practice, and when I teach students and trainees. The more I practice and teach tuning into this mantra, the bigger the space it contains – allowing for myself and others to use this amazing tool to develop our consciousness.

Simply put, this mantra refines the energy around and within us.

A Kundalini yoga teacher should relate to these words as an opportunity to let their ego step aside while in front of the class, to make the experience NOT about the teacher, but about holding space for the student to go in and through whatever is right in that moment.

This is the power of Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo – humility that drops us out of our ego’s tendency to control, allows us to feel our Infinite Self that goes beyond time and space, to see that all our answers are within – that we can move from the ignorance of darkness to the realm of Light.

The Siri Singh Sahib, Yogi Bhajan was the right teacher for me because he never tried to initiate me, to fix me, to keep me, to even really care about me in any personal way. It’s not that I didn’t spend time with him, he gave me my name personally while in his trailer at Summer Solstice in 1982, he married me to my first husband and on a few occasions had some pretty serious things to say to me – but his recommendations didn’t directly engage my neurosis – his advice instead went to positive action I could take to elevate my life experience. Once given, he wasn’t personally invested in the outcome, that was up to me.

What he said when I last saw him in 2003 that was so valuable to me was, “Thank you for the work you are doing. We are all in this together.” That was the level of humility I needed to see from him – to finally know he was the real deal. Human and imperfect like all of us, and yet inspired to be greater and rich with wisdom and this amazing technology that he shared with us.

I feel the same with each of you: that we are all in this together.

I am grateful each time you bow your ego to your Infinite Mind, and each time you chant Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo, whether it is with me, with yourself, or with another teacher or friend.

We are blessed to be in this human life with all its wonders and frailties, and I thank you for sharing this time and space with me.

Here is a musical version of Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo.
