Listening to and practicing this prayer (is humbling, and) provides me with calming moments in turbulent times. It connects me with a meditative, healing community for which I am grateful, and to which I feel gratitude for helping me navigate life on Earth.

Wow, I can’t imagine driving with this mantra that fast!!! I’m just opening the door to take a seat at the wheel – much let start it’s engine. Thank you for the guidance. Looking forward to feeling it’s power over the next year.

  I had the same reaction when I listened to Panditji’s recording–the speed was daunting and not at all soothing, until I recently read the following passage from an article written by Rolf Sovik:
  
  Experience with a mantra in meditation helps it flow more smoothly. A well-practiced mantra will surface effortlessly in your mind, like an enchanting melody. It recites itself. The pace of a well-rehearsed mantra becomes more rapid—fast enough that you may no longer articulate the mantra’s syllables clearly, yet your attention rests in the pulsing of the mantra and the feeling inherent in its sound. This combination of effortless recitation and rapid pulsing is called ajapa japa.
  
  …hopefully this helps you as it helped me to take it at my own pace. I just wish the reason for such speed had been explained in the description of the mantra–I’m sure I would have embraced it sooner.
