In my book, Ayurveda and the Feminine I have devoted an entire chapter to the actual invocation and the invocation mantras.  My students and Ayurveda clients ask me all the time, hence it was time to talk about it.  So, what are invocation chants? They are called mangalacaranam- literally translated as auspicious step or beginnings. So, I am talking about what are invocation chants, why and how we do it.

And, I demonstrate chanting of three different chants in this short and sweet podcast.

If I had a penny for every time someone said Diwali is the festival of lights. It is at the same level with chai tea and ghee butter. Diwali has so many mystical secrets, it has a deep significance. Listen to the podcast to know how to invite abundance, auspiciousness, heal relationship with siblings, invite blessings for health and wellness during these five days of Diwali. (And, NO! it is not just a festival of lights--thats just what the British colonizers of India did to whitewash Diwali so they could celebrate without feeling guility)!!!
