MANTRA MEDITATION
When Mindfulness Isn’t Enough. Transform Your Mind With Mantra Meditation.
Tired of using your meditation practice to watch your thoughts jump around the romper room of your mind?
When you meditate, do you have a hard time being present without judgment, especially when the present doesn’t seem all that great?
Meditation doesn’t have to be this way.
Welcome to mantra meditation: a way to actively engage your mind by filling it with uplifting, transformative sound.
If you’re new to meditation, or if you’ve tried before and felt like it just didn’t “click,” mantra meditation offers a fresh approach that engages your mind in a positive, powerful way.
Mantra meditation isn’t a new concept. It’s a time-tested practice recommended in classic yoga wisdom texts like the Yoga Sutras and Bhagavad-gita.
And this isn't just woo-woo talk. Modern science also confirms that focusing on a sound vibration can reduce stress, enhance your ability to concentrate, and elevate your mood.
While mindfulness meditation asks you to observe your mind’s wanderings, mantra meditation offers something radically different—an anchor.
It’s a technique that not only observes the mind but also directs it—actively engaging your thoughts in a way that allows you to focus your mind and elevate your inner state, creating both mental clarity and emotional harmony.
Best of all, it’s easy.
It’s fun.
You can practice it by yourself or with others.
You don’t need any fancy gizmos or apps to do it.
And it doesn’t take long to learn.

Hari's classes have always been a source of accessible knowledge and kind support in my tiny steps of devotion.
Though I've studied mantras before, I knew I'd deepen my understanding with his workshop. Hari patiently and thoroughly explains historical context and abstract concepts in a way I can grasp and then practice and embody.

I learn from Hari whenever I can.
His clarity of thought and his elegance and economy of expression are always evident, and his warmth and graciousness toward his students is exemplary. My own practice of chanting has been very helpful during very difficult times, and I am grateful for it.

I’ve always been drawn to chanting, but didn’t want to take up the practice until I had a better understanding of the mantras’ cultural context and meaning.
