Siri Gaitri Mantra
Ra Ma Da Sa Sa Say So Hung
Ra is the energy of the Sun: strong, bright and hot. It energizes and purifies.
Ma is the energy of the moon: receptive, cool, and nurturing.
Da is the energy of Earth: secure and personal. It is the ground of action.
Sa is the impersonal Infinity. The cosmos in all of its dimensions, openness, expansiveness and totality is Sa.
Say is the totality of experience and is personal. It is the feeling of a sacred “Thou.” It is the embodiment of Sa. “Sa Say” brings these two together.
So is the personal sense of merger and identity.
Hung is the Infinite, vibrating and real. The two qualities together (So and Hung) mean: “I am Thou.”
