40 Days Of Kundalini Antar Naad Meditation – Instruction

by Aiyana Fraley
Antar Naad Mantra Meditation

Antar Naad Mudra Meditation (Kabadshe Meditation) brings prosperity and creativity, protects you from attacks, and open your chakras. It creates a shield around you where you cannot be harmed. Yogi Bhajan described this mantra as the base of all mantras because it gives you the strength to overcome adversity. The mantra translates to, “That Infinite Totality is here, everywhere. That creativity of God is here, everywhere.”

SA RAY SA SA, SA RAY SA SA SA, RAY SA SA SA RANG

HAR RAY HAR HAR, HAR RAY HAR HAR, HAR RAY HAR HAR, HAR RANG

The “ANG” in Rang is pronounced “UNG” as in Rung. Some texts have it written as Rung others as Rang.

Meaning: 

Sa – The infinite, totality, God represented by the element of ether.

Har – Creative infinity, a name of God represented by the element earth.

Ung – The sound projecting towards infinity.

Instructions For Antar Naad Mudra Meditation

  1. Sit in easy pose with your chin slightly in (gentle jalandar bandh)
  2. Extend your arms over your knees with your thumb and pinky finger touching in Buddhi Mudra.
  3. Chant along to the mantra Sa Ray Sa Sa for 11 minutes, advanced students can go up to 31 minutes.
  4. Recommended to use a stop watch or timer.

You can play the mantra along while you chant. I listen to the version by Guru Shabad Singh Khalsa.

Why 40 days of Antar Naad Mudra Meditation?

Every kriya and meditation in kundalini yoga has a specific goal. In this meditation, it is prosperity, creativity and protection. By practicing it everyday for the same amount of time you are breaking negative patterns and habits in your psyche and body, and getting the full benefits of the meditation. You are essentially creating positive new habits that align with your highest self.

I did this for 40 days. I stopped December 26 and have been sick most of the time since stopping. First it was a big, awful, flu. Then it was a cough, cold. Then pink eye. Then the cough/cold again. I understand this is a rough cold/flu season (I had the shot, but everyone I know has been sick) but I can’t help but wonder if stopping the mantra was a bad idea? I’m starting again. Any thoughts? Could it be like literally unlocking the door and then the thieves come in the house?

Hi Yoga Fan, it sounds like your body was cleansing itself and possibly your immune system was weakened. I wouldn’t be discouraged from doing this mantra again because of it. Keep hydrated and eat well during this period to stay strong. I personally take supplements that have fended off colds. Send me an email if you have more questions about it, I’d love to help aiyana@dropsofyoga.com

I am unclear as to why some say this should only be practiced in a full Moon and some do not mention this. Can you help? I want to practice it tomorrow. Should I not?

Thank you!!!

Hi Julia, There are two versions of this meditation. The one I have here is the meditation to do on all days of the month, except for full moon day. There is another version used solely on the full moon and it uses a different mudra. The mudra for the full moon version is placing the plams together like prayer hands at the chest and as you begin to chant the fingers open like a lotus flower blossoming as you move them up from the chest position to the third eye. Then you fold the fingers into each other and move them down toward the chest. As you do this movement, the backs of the hands touch. Return back to palms together in prayer hands to start again with the next round of chanting. It may help to see the image of the mudra here: https://kundalini.yoga/kriyas/antar-naad-mudra-as-a-full-moon-meditation
