HOW AN ONLINE SCHOOL GURUKULAM -THE SHLOKA LEARNING CENTER, CAN TEACH MANTRAS TO THE FUTURE GENERATION
You have heard it many times. Karma, Gurus, Mantras. In Sanskrit language, the mantra is called Shloka or Slogam. Now your mental image may go to a saint chanting ‘OM’ in Himalayan forest in the Yoga position. Mantras are not just meant for Saints or people who have renounced the world. Everyone in the world from the moment they are born and till they leave the Earth need it.
Social media, fake news, constant fear, uncertainty — have impacted us. We can’t concentrate on anything even for few minutes. The urge to check the social media updates and respond to that Whatsapp message overpower us. What and who said last week still lingers in our mind. We can’t let go off the thoughts even though we realize it is affecting us. ‘I want peace’ is in everyone’s wish list! In 2020, it is hard to get an appointment with the counsellor or psychic.
Ancient Indian literature and wisdom has left us with the tool called Mantras. It could be a one syllable world like ‘OM’ or a set of verses. Many of them comes from Bhagwad Gita, Ramayana and Mahabharata — revered epics from India. Its psychological impact is immense. Constant practice gives you the calmness. Your pent-up anger vanishes. You long to develop the bonding with your family and friends.
