I am immanent in all beings and I hum like the female bumble bee.

From my
abode in Surya and Candra I gush forth in an unbroken flow of absolute
sound (nada) like the flow of oil during the interval between the closing
and opening of (God’s) eyes. As I travel (in turn through) all the centres
of the body, from the root plexus to the crown with the brilliance of
thousands of risen suns, fires and moons, I unfold (myself) as manifested
sound… and become the mother of (all) sounds, showering objects of
enjoyment in the same way as a cow (showers milk)…

Like a doe I flee farther and farther from the mind of the yogin. Yogins
observing their vows bind me through their own devotion. Sixty-eight
thousand yogins engaged in worshipping me and meditating on me as Harini
have attained complete inwardness of mind (pratyahara). 1

If you came up to me and asked what is the one sadhana of the Divine Mother
that you could do in your daily life as well as for your intense practice,
without a moment’s hesitation I would say the Sri Suktam Sadhana. Taken
from the oldest of the four Vedas, the Rigveda, this is the most powerful
Vedic sadhana of Mother Goddess. In fact, its usage, adoption and
application is so widespread that Sri Suktam is the only Vedic hymn that is
used to invoke the divine feminine energy across the five branches of
Sanatana Dharma: Shaivites (those who worship Shiva), Vaishnavas (those who
predominantly worship Vishnu), Ganapatya (those who worship Ganesha), Saura
(those who worship the Sun) and of course, Shakta (those who worship Mother
Goddess). And this is the only hymn that is used unaltered in both Vedic
and tantric worship.

Sri means Mother Divine, opulence, prosperity, refuge and progress. Suktam
means eloquence, an ode of praise (written in a meter), or a hymn worthy of
recitation. Sri Suktam is the most ancient Vedic hymn devoted to invoking,
propitiating and even summoning Mother Goddess to make your journey on this
planet joyous and meaningful. The Sri Suktam is mastered so you are aligned
with the universal energy as you pursue the four purusharthas: dharma
(spiritual wealth), artha (material wealth), kama (pleasures from
fulfilment of desires), moksha (liberation).

Whether you wish to master the Vedic way of life or you are a Sri Vidya
aspirant or simply someone interested in seeing how mantras can bring a
profound shift in your consciousness and make a million things effortless
in your life, your journey would be incomplete without Sri Suktam. I cannot
write enough on how much opulence on all fronts this sadhana has brought
into my life. I have written about the Sri Suktam Sadhana in detail in my
book The Ancient Science of Mantras. Today, I am sharing with you the
concise and simplified method of this sadhana. So simple that you almost
just have to do the chanting in the evening and the fire offerings (yajna)
in the morning.
As you may know that we will be doing the Sri Suktam Sadhana in the ashram
from 24-Oct till 8-Nov (concluding on the morning of 9-Nov). For those of
you who can’t join me physically, you can do so virtually at absolutely no
cost whatsoever in the Sadhana app. You will be able to join me live in the
Sadhana app and make all the offerings virtually. The morning yajna will
also be broadcast live on os.me/live.
