We can recite mantras by using: Beads , using hands and fingers in the form of OM and breathing methods. We recited 108 Gayatri Mantras for each bead by holding it between the fingers. In this way we made each spiritual bracelet of 18 beads. So, 108 times of Gayatri mantra for 18 beads counts up to 1944 times of Gayatri mantra in each bracelet.

Follow along and make bracelets, or listen to the process and feel the experience.

Swami has said - Dreams are the reflection, reaction and resound of that which is within you.

Dream Catchers are a spiritual tool used to help assure good dreams to those that sleep under them. A dream catcher is usually placed over a place you would sleep where the morning light can hit it. As you sleep all dreams from the spirit world have to pass through the dream catcher. Only good dreams can pass through to the dreamer while the bad dreams are caught in the webbing and are destroyed by the first rays of the morning light.

Gain a deeper understanding on the role of desires and how we can control them.
