Hinduism and Buddhism has beliefs which are false. So Russell should involve himself into only true beliefs which are supported by sound evidences and facts. Not just because the belief or its explanation sounds beautiful.
Like idol worship is an insult to human intelligence which is bless by great one true God. How can human worship something created by their own imagination and reasoning? If I am wrong, then why humans worship computers, mathematics, logic, machines, ai and so on which are intelligent and benefits man more than idols. Worship and praying to idols is wrong because they cannot even protect themselves then how they can protect you.
Regarding buddha, buddha says all desire leads to pain which is non sense. Socialist, psychologist and thinkers and philosophers has identified that there are two types of desires or impulse - one more possessive & harmful for humans and other more creative, constructive and beneficial to humans which gives great true pure right happiness. But buddha didn't realise that achieving positive desires leads to true happiness. Read book of Bertrand Russell called conquest of happiness.
❤ I hear you Russell. Thank you for being there. Tomorrow is my 5th day into the 30 day Cold Plunge and I do my meditation shortly after which complemets it nicely. I use the Kundalini Mantra you used in one of your previous videos if my mind starts to get noisy - It really does work.
Thank you for all you do. Much love and respect to you and the team ❤

@@munafghori4052 If you enjoy desire you are content with physical existence and you will not gain liberation. Buddha was right. Don't read Bertrand - he knows nothing.
thank you Russel ❤ very much needed,so tired,,lovely way to explain, as always🙏x
Russell, you will never know how much your videos have been helping me and how grateful I feel towards you. I’m a mother, very much on my own, isolated in a foreign country away from my family in these terrible times. Having to navigate through the madness of these extraordinary crazy times increasingly frightening , I have found much respite, soothing comfort and inspiration in every video and podcast you have made. Bless your heart. Bless your loved ones. 🙏❤️💪🏻
✌💓
I'm a mom too. It's the hardest, most constant and stressful job. But it's amazing, humbling, beautiful. Children have the purest innocence but also powerful energy that can be overwhelming.
Ah, that’s not the job of being a mum I find overwhelming. It’s the crazy times of Big Tech dystopia imposed upon us I find difficult and scary. 🙏

Just to add, I find that meditating as soon as I wake up after a bathroom visit is the easiest time of day to do it, because that's when the mind is the quietest.
"Om Nama Sivaya" is the one I use, but dont FIXATE on the mantra, just let it go over and over and over very freely in your mind...
Each mantra resonates on a different frequency that, when repeated, lifts your own frequency. Mantra are made from Sanskrit letters which are a collection of primordial sounds, connecting us to everything and everyone. All Sanskrit mantra are different but one is no better than the other. Find the one that tugs at your heart and chant that in your meditation practice. Peace 🌺🕉🔥
Very new to this is there somewhere I can further investigate different mantras?
@@sergiohernandez-uf2zz look up Hindu mantras. You can go from there. I know once the true desire is in your heart, the teacher will appear. 💖🙏🏽
@@sergiohernandez-uf2zz check out Vaisnavism and Srila Prabhupada. The Vedic literature (written in sanskrit) recommends chanting mantras in the Age of Kali. And some are preferred over others according to various authorities and scriptures.

Love this video mate! Been chanting mantras my entire life, mostly the Hare Krishna mantra and its definitely saved me more times than I'm even aware of. Hari Om🙏🏼
Hare Krishna!
Hare Krishna my friend, I have chanted for over ten years. I am in New Zealand, please pray for us here.

I have been meditating for 42 years and change my mantra to Om Namah Shivay, a few years ago and I find this mantra to be so easy to do. It takes me deeper, than my previous one. I find it silences my mind.
My meditation practice has exponentially Improved when I do it after a round of Wim Hof breathing, then I follow my breath for 20 minutes with very little of the old overwhelming mental chatterboxing.
Cool what breathing patterns do you both use
@@bigsteve6729 I do 4 rounds: 30 inhale & exhale, then hold for 2 minutes on the first, hold for 2 minutes 15 seconds on the second, hold for 2 minutes 30 seconds on the third and hold for 2 minutes 45 seconds on the fourth. I find doing press ups before the breathing helps, it gets the blood flowing and the lungs up their game too.
Same here 👍 then have a cold shower.
@@cfishist thanks Shane
@@indi4091 I tried this just anything method and doesnt work I find if I can concentrate on a rhythm of breathing then it helps to think of the breathe and then everything can float away with each breath

Never heard this translation. I’ve always heard the same Russel shared
Have you ever heard about OM being sound of vowels to nasal consonant? It's been scientifically established that this pattern invokes positive brain waves activates parasympathetic nervous system.
Any humming does Ive heard
There's also the concept of nitric oxide production from the vibrating breathing which assists autophagy/self-healing.

I’m is supposedly the primordial sound of the universe. How they know this I don’t know 🤷♂️
@@andybrown3016 because in india thousand of years ago Rishi it's means a great teacher practice meditation and know all knowledge by that
I like the vibration I feel in my chest when I do the mantra as well as the other benefits.
Om namah shivay 🙏
Just slow down the speed at the top right corner on the wheel to 75 percent speed. I do this to all videos. Makes a big difference.
I'm relieved to hear that the mantra can be said in your head rather than out loud, as I'm not confident enough to vocalise them as yet. Like you, my mind has an endless commentary playing, or a song stuck on repeat .... so repeating a mantra sounds like the perfect way to declutter the mind! ✨🗣️✨
In your head is certainly better than not at all, but my understanding is that the sounds and vibrations they produce in the body are VERY important - they’re not simply Sanskrit translations of a random phrase. Both math and sound are integral and possibly the most important part of their creation.
It's better to verbalise the mantra, at least initially. Please read "Chant and be happy" by Srila Prabhupada, which explains in full.
I've been. Trying to do all this & seeing this at this moment where so much is going on around us that seems confusing is honestly a sign!:) I love it!
Thank you for spreading this information to the masses
A mantra without meaning has worked wonders! I wrote down syllables and drew 3 from a hat. I got Ra Ma Sa. That's been my mantra since 2017. This way the word doesnt drum up any imagery. As long as Im repeating the mantra im not thinking about other things. Eventually theres this sweet spot of transcendence, but, it seems as soon as i notice the state that "noticing" knocks me out of it! Its a fun game!
actually ra ma is part of the hare krishna mantra hare rama so it does mean something, it means krishna the resevoir of all pleasure
You’re all nut jobs
@@GoldenMushroom64 haha
OMG! so well put, thank you Russell. If there is someone to properly weave into words this practice for our western busy minds can't see any better person.
Thank you Russell! I am a beginner meditator and have recently made up my own mantra (a series of sounds that have no meaning to me but help me to still the thoughts that try to constantly come in). I have been able to meditate two times a day (most days) and that remains a goal. You have been and continue to be a teacher to me and I hope the best for you and your efforts, your life, and your family. Namaste!
Love this Russell 💕🙏..I too love using mantras during meditation. Throughout the day , if I find myself overthinking , or physically or mentally uncomfortable , I verbally or mentally repeat the mantras and I return to the peace I feel during meditation. It instantly quiets my mind 😑🙏
Very strangely, I was meditating yesterday and having a bit of a busy mind problem & I wondered if a mantra would help. And then this popped up today. Cheers! Very helpful & just when I needed it! 💐
Thank you for this video. I personally practice transcendental meditation and it's been one of the best things for me. I can't recommend learning to do it enough.
Omg wonderful Russell please slooooooooow down! What massive concepts and ideas and and info to rush through like that! I'm having to rewind 30 seconds every minute! It's taken me 20 mins already and I'm only half way through! 😉😆
You can set the playback speed to .5 or .25 if that helps.
Ya, what poopoo said. Lol
"my comfort and enjoyment is a byproduct of doing the right things, not my objective " - - > i had to write that down! Really powerfull line there especially when you have some troubles with substances every now and then. Thanks Russel!
*I CHANGED TO MANTRA* based meditation 2 months ago and I have had some FANTASTIC trips around the universe, two, three, even 4 levels of spatial awareness...
DEFINITELY worth it. Today wasn't spatial - but very out of body.
Mantra is Magical and helps me stay sane and sober! Thank you for sharing🌟💜
I’ve started chanting daily mantras recently and honestly the changes in me are subtle .
Like #1 I don’t snore like I used to snore . According to my family . It’s am improvement.
#2 . I suddenly don’t want to sleep as much as I used to I used to sleep too much.
#3. I just feel happier.
I don’t understand what I am chanting but it feels like I am re-calibrating the hard drive and the software is the mantra
What mantra do you recite?
It is best to find a guru and at first using a visual anchor to hold in your mind like an idol or a yantra that goes with the mantra. Chanting mentally is best and not getting frustrated or having an intention. Set your attention first and do a simple puja. During japa however just let go of all thoughts, let the mantra be the only thought, no goal, no asking for anything, no expectations, simply tuning into a current of energy which is the mantra. Trust the mantra to do the work you dont need to do anything other than just focus. The only effort is returning the mind to the mantra gently over and over as the mind wanders. Eventually concentration will lead into true meditation as you said the mantra will dissolve and all visualizing will dissolve there will just be void and awareness. Eventually the void and awareness become one and the same
I'm really liking both your channels these days! A topic I would be really interested to hear your take (or do an interview with some wise person) on is aphantasia (lack of any mental imagery), which I ahve. I only realised aphantasia is a 'thing' a couple of years ago, and it made total sense to me years of frustration with guided style meditations. All that imagining doors and gardens and beaches puts you in a really stressful place when you just see nothing with your eyes closed. My husband is a hypervisualiser and now that I understand that when people say "I can picture that' it's not just a turn of phrase, we gradually explore the profound differences in how we experience life and the world. At first I felt i was missing out (as do a lot of people in the aphantasia fb group), but I've come to realise that it's actually easier for me to still my mind, even without meditation. I'm now exploring breath meditation, and I am really drawn to mantras, but find it hard to hear them in my mind too.
I’ve always liked you as an actor because your funny and insightful but by god you definitely seem like a smart interesting person I’m glad you got sober and didn’t die. Your an inspiration
Thank you. I absolutely love u have for a long time. I think your amazing and just pure real. Thank you for being you and always looking out for mankind's peace and truth..
Yes I love mantras..
Love your yoga uploads man, peace
Russell, you are the very best Mate. Grateful for you 🗝️🙏✨❤️
Hi Russell. Your always very respectful of other major faiths... Your a true gentleman.... If my mind wanders and thinks nonsense then I stop.... Tell myself off... Clear the mind clutter and then converse with the Good Lord in a serious and mindful manner.
Dude, you are really helping others. Thanks for your work. Peace from Mississippi 😎✌️
I did the one yesterday with you online. I could not stretch out my right arm at the shoulder. As we continued I focused on other parts and it relaxed the shoulder muscle not. Enjoyed it immensely and plan to incorporate 3 times a week. Thanks!
YES i really needed this thank you, i have been struggling with clearing my mind and visualising light. I have also been called to use mudras and mantras.
That bit about hapiness being a byptoduct is awesome dude
Thank you so much Russell that was so helpful is simplified it you addressed all of the benefits I'm so there thank you❤
Thank you for this 🙏✨✨✨
Hmmm very cool , didn’t know what a mantra really was and yes my mind definitely wonders off into negative and fearful thoughts when I get anxiety so I will definitely try this. Thanks
Thanks for the reminder, Russell. I used to do mantra meditation a lot and it worked for me, but I've been trying to do silent meditation and I just kind of suck at that. So back to mantras.
This is the best Russell video, ever.
Wow! I listen to Russell all the time but never listened to him speak on meditation. I pray which I guess is meditation. I’m Catholic, so the Rosary is definitely meditation. I’m going to try the Mantras. I’m such a lunatic (thought wise) so I’ve never been able to stick to it. I’m inspired to try again. Russell is a gifted communicator.
While I was using your meditation videos...I was wondering why we use these mantras. Thanks for this explanation. I loved the first video I meditated with you last spring “meditation for beginnerrs”. and you used the word “flower” 🌼 which I still use. I do see how it occupies the mind in order to free it.
My mantras have helped me to avoid situations that could cause serious issues for me ❤
By having minimal understanding of nakshatra and the natal chart, I was able to uncover a personal mantra based on those things by using both. Gnostic Teachings also recommends intoning vowel sounds, chakra sounds (Ut-re-mi-fa-so-la). They also recommend runes but runes have not as yet resonated with me. Om Ah Hum, AUM, Om, Krim, etc. The personal, natal based nakshatra is probably very empowering on an individual basis.
Thank you for visiting this topic. I hope it helps a lot of people.
Just learned TM and I'm happy with the results so far. Thanks for the video!
Brilliant. The CHENREZIG meditation with the Mantra was my introduction to this strangely efficacious practice. This meditation, I believe, is one which is usually ‘given’ by the teacher. ❣️
i do like the mantras when said out loud, because you can feel the vibration and effect all through the spine. I also find that certain mantras will have an effect on how i will feel for the rest of the day. - I held off doing them for a while until i knew what they meant and decided whether that was appropriate for me to use them. They do help - i have a very electric speeding train mind - and i need something with a vibrational tone to calm that stuff. My favourite of your most recent ones is Aum Namah Shivaya. I just really liked how i felt after that one.
Thanks Russell. I’m gonna try that 😁
Thanks for this explanation. Needed to know this.
Thank You Russell!
Thank you for this video 💚
Great as always, planning to try 🙏
One of the best explanations on TM & mantras. Just a regular bloke telling it straight. Thanks
and without the massive price tag of corporate money grabbing t m from a certified teacher 🙄
I need a mantra for best results at keeping my mind clear . Russel is such a good teacher I use a few techniques I learn from this channel. Most of it Is way to advanced for me
Thank you Russell
I’m slowly getting in to meditation and learning to be at peace after losing my son and I found your prayers really emotional would be really nice to have more prayers with you 😊
Buddhism really pulled me out of a bad place, and studied it throughout 2020 and still learning. It's been incredibly helpful, insightful and really helped improve my life-incredibly. I started with books from Thich Naht Hanh, and later got into reading from the pali canon, as well as the Tibetan book of the dead, and modern philosophies from Buddhism. It's really something that's helped me tremendously
Ok but it's a offshoot of hinduism
With me, I tend to use the chakra mantras because they're easy to remember and to chant out when you practice in generating the right vibrations in both mind and body. Plus they symbolise each different meaning that resonates different human qualities. They can also be done at any time with or without the meditation through either silent or loud utterances which helps in making them stick.
So succinct! Bravooooo Wow I am hypnotised
I currently practice yoga for roughly half hour to an hour per day, but I really want to start doing a more stationery form of meditation (in addition to yoga) and I'll definitely add a mantra to it, seems like it'll help a lot.
I don't know if many people do this, but aside from just sitting down and going into mediation, either breath or with mantras... but I tend to prepare the space a bit as well, usually involves lighting a candle to place in front of me which I've found helpful to stay in the meditation so even when a distracting thought might get in the way, I can focus back on the candle as a way to kind of hone back into the mediation... I hope this might help people who might also get distracted during mediation. At the end of the meditation, I tend to put the candle out and wait for the smoke to dissipate.
Mad respect for who your becoming
Thank you for sharing this
i think you're GREAT! thanks for what you do!!!
Love you Mate!
Thank you Love you Bless you 🙏❤️☯️
My mantra is the 741 hz music I play for 15, 20, or half hour during my meditation. I am able to focus on my pain and time go by comfortably with the music playing.
Love your stuff brudder ☺
Great video, helpful. Thanks!
Great stuff Russell, I can’t tell you have much your videos and podcasts have helped me through the pandemic. Always intelligent, articulate, informative and funny as f*@k.!! Keep up the good work!
Well said, same here!
Chanting the Hare Krishna Mantra will make you happy!
Truth !

I so miss their presence in the urban setting… 💐
@@pchabanowich What happened to them? I used to love seeing groups of them light up our high street with colour and sound.
@@Linz0440 in Australia they’re still around! I’ve stayed at a few different Hare Krishna communes and wow it’s amazing! I guess bc of all this covid shite there’s no chanting on the streets though
I love you Russell!
Turns out what a lot of mantras are doing is activating the vagus nerve, or the parasympathetic system. I find "Aum" does that for me, esp when I focus on the throat/chest resonance, sends me into that deep relaxation state that feels connected to all. Those Yogis knew their stuff.
The book "The Greatest Salesman in the World" was my initial intro to meditation. It has jack squat to do with sales and everything to do with spirituality and being in touch with oneself.
It eliminates falsehoods that people hold about what makes a good salesman, but only if read as a mantra as the book suggests.
Always looking for ways to get back to that calm of meditation- seems some are better than others.
Appreciate you brother.
I really appreciate and love this. ✨🐎✨✨🐎🐎🐎🐎✨✨🙏
Great video, thanks. 👍
Thanks Russ ❤️
Hi! Your videos have helped so much and I was wondering if there was any way you could do a video on how you began meditating as an absolute beginner and what are some things that helped you stick with it? 🙏
OM NAMAH SHIVAYA!
Hare Krishna!
Namaste thankyou and much love
Russell, you obviously have ADD, which was my specialty as a teacher of Special Ed. I'm curious as to why the TM has not allowed you to become calmer. You speak so quickly and your mind is all over the place, Classic ADD. Might I help.....Here are the best friends of ADD.... A) At least 8 hours of nightly sleep. B) Lots of protein and vegetables, less processed foods the better! C) Multi Vitamins and an extra supplement of B-Complex. Here are the enemies of ADD.... A) Sugar B) Alcohol C) Stimulants; Nicotine, etc. HOPE you will try these, they really make a difference. May the Lord Bless You
I'm so close to subscribing. You're getting to me Russ.
Love your videos namaste brother!!!!
Brahmananda swaroopa takes me too Nirvana 🙏Om Namah Shivaya ❤️🇬🇧
I love your videos, very informative and entertaining. Thank You. The method I use is with eyes open, using a focal point eg. a candle, spot on the wall, ship on the horizon, but keeping field of vision wide, tongue touching roof of mouth just behind the front teeth to connect the channel in the front, yogic breathing through the abdomen, in through the nose and out through the mouth, back of the throat held slightly open, and a final contraction of the lowest thoracic muscles at the end of the out breath, also making a 'T' sound at the end. Then breathe in again and complete the cycle for anywhere from 5 to 20 minutes. Maybe you know this method? I find it induces a very nice trance state, and my teacher said it would build the life force and the ability to control it. Apparently was practiced by Shaolin Monks after they learned the yogic breathing from India. Can also be incorporated into body movements, chi kung etc. Very interested to learn more about this stuff and I will definitely try the mantras. Thank you for taking your time and sharing your wisdom and inspiration with the world. Also please feed that raven something besides beans, clearly he's having digestive issues. One more thing, as you've mentioned meditation shows us that we are not our minds. The real self is the observer hearing those thoughts. Since mind and emotion is usually where the problems lie than having a tool to get to the higher part of ourselves is very helpful. It is also my humble belief that this place is our connection to higher consciousness of the Universe, whatever you want to call it. Peace and Love to all. I would also humbly suggest the book Just Breathe by Dan Brule, which contains a number of very helpful breathing exercises for different purposes. Focusing on the breath is very important and also helps us to get beyond our minds. I'm almost totally out of my mind so I guess it's working.
You can tell he practices what he preaches (love it). Try the [[[waheguru]]] mantra, it's known to be the most powerful mantra there is up to date by the spiritual masters. It means wow god or wow guru, chant it in feelings and emotions of gratitude, wonderment, and praise for the divine. If you give this mantra your attention while chanting by focusing on the 4 sounds wa-he-gu-ru it will merge you with the divine frequency leaving no trace of "I" or "me" ie.. (ego or self existence).
Mantras are transcendental sound vibrations which, through repetition, tune your mind to resonate with a higher, more blissful/peaceful frequency. The Mahamantra is incredibly blissful to meditate with. It feels like a warm reassuring hug from Krishna to let me know everything is okay, he's got my back and everything in creation is unfolding as it's meant to.
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare.
It's also very ecstatic to sing aloud. I really like singing along with Jahnavi Harrison's album Like a "River to the Sea".

Thanks Russell TM and other vowel chanting help me get off of ALL pharmaceuticals and fill that hole left from trauma and empty pursuits.
You are very enlightened by Yahweh. The creator truly touched you with so much spiritual common sense. You seek knowledge and he enjoys your quest. Brother you are going to have a blast when Yeshua returns.
Love Mantras. I was blessed to be given a personal mantra by a Didi. But I do use others too. Om Mani Padme Hung when I use my spin bike. Seriously helps.
I will try it with my planks and see. Gotta be better than counting.
Thanks for this. I began TM a while ago. I use the sat nam mantra. Within a few mins, I’m off. It feels like my brain is being rinsed. 20 mins twice a day is perfect
I enjoyed this.
