Writer: Avani GilbertAvani Gilbert

Updated: Oct 28, 2024

This October, La Colmena Collective is celebrating the powerful mantra Brahmananda Swarupa—a profound invocation for inner peace and connection with the universal consciousness. Rooted in the Sanskrit tradition, this mantra is a tribute to the divine energy that permeates all existence, reminding us of our inherent connection to the vastness of creation.


The Mantra:

Brahmananda Swaroopa, Isha Jagadisha

ब्रह्मानंद स्वरूपा, ईशा जगदीशा


Akhilanand Swaroopa, Isha Mahesha

अखिलानंद स्वरूपा, ईशा महेशा


Meaning:

  • Brahmananda Swarupa: This phrase translates to “the embodiment of divine joy,” referring to the eternal and blissful nature of Brahman (the ultimate reality or universal consciousness).

  • Isha Jagadisha: "The Lord of the Universe." This acknowledges the divine presence that governs and sustains all life.

  • Akhilananda Swarupa: "The embodiment of boundless joy," celebrating the infinite happiness that flows through creation.

  • Isha Mahesha: "The Great Lord," often associated with Lord Shiva, who represents the destroyer of ignorance and the source of transformation.


Why Chant Brahmananda Swarupa?

Chanting this mantra is believed to help connect us to the all-pervading consciousness, transcending the limitations of the mind and ego. It invokes a sense of profound inner peace and boundless joy, reminding us that we are not separate from the universe but an intrinsic part of its divine flow. Whether you’re practicing yoga, meditation, or simply seeking stillness in your day, repeating this mantra can bring calm and clarity.


This month, as the energy of autumn invites us to slow down and reflect, let the Brahmananda Swarupa mantra guide you inward, to that space of unshakable peace and joy within.


How to Practice:

  • Find a quiet, comfortable space.

  • Take a few deep breaths, centering yourself.

  • Chant the mantra aloud or silently or listen to our favorite version here, focusing on the vibrations of the words and their meaning.

  • Allow yourself to be fully present, embracing the sense of connection and serenity that arises.

Feel free to incorporate this mantra into your daily meditation or as part of your yoga practice. Let October be a month of deep inner connection, guided by the energy of Brahmananda Swarupa.
