Mantra to Remove Afflictions

Namaste,

Today we will learn another healing mantra. The Sun has 12 attributes or gifts and one of them is the ability of removing affliction. This principle is called Arkaya.

As a personal experience, years ago when I first started learning mantras with my amazing friend Jill Jardine, she was teaching an afternoon of healing month, and because I was already familiar with them from our teacher’s books, I decided to dedicate these Mantras to my mom.

She was in her 70s at the time, and every time I called her I would ask her how she wa doing, which she would reply telling me about all her aches and pains. The following day after chanting the healing mantras, and specifically this one, as usual I called her and ask her how she was doing. To my astonishment she responded:

"Today God decided to give me a day free of pain!"

I told her about what took place the day before and in spite of her skepticism she asked me to teach her the mantra, and to this day she still chants it when in need.

The 12 gifts of the Sun are as follows:

Mitraya                           Universal friendship

Ravaye                            Radiance

Suryaya                          Dispeller of darkness

Bhanave                         Brilliant, shining principle

Khagaya                         All pervading through the sky

Pushne                           Mystic fire which gives strength

Hiranya Garbhaya    Golden Colored One (Healing Gold)

Marichaye                     The pure light of dawn, at the crack between the worlds

Adityaya                         Light of the sage: and aspect of Vishnu

Savitre                            Light of enlightenment

Arkaya                            Remover of afflictions, Giver of energy

Bhaskaraya                  Brilliant light of intelligence

These tall gifts are also associated to the 12 postures or Asanas and the sunset station or Surya Namascar. We will be learning all these mantras along the way.

The Mantra is:

OM ARKAYA NAMAHA

OM                             Sanskrit symbol representing the creation of the Universe

ARKAYA                  Name of the Son's attribute that removes afflictions.

NAMAHA                I salute and honor you

The indicated gemstone for the Sun is Ruby, or red jade or garnet.
