Gobinday Mukunday Mantra

This mantra deserves its own blog post.

It’s a powerful, potent and profound mantra - that’s worth learning and worth learning about.

Here is the mantra:

Gobinday – Sustainer

Mukunday – Liberator

Udaaray – Enlightener

Apaaray – Infinite

Hariang – Destroyer

Kariang – Creator

Nirnamay – Nameless

Akamay – Desireless


There are at least 5 reasons why it’s important to learn and practice this mantra. 

  1. Subconscious blocks.

    This mantra helps to clear out rubbish from the subconscious mind. Any obstacles, pain or attachment in the mind can be removed with regular practice of this mantra. This is the beauty of mantra transformation - just do the practice and your mind and your energy will start shifting. Mind acts as a recorder - whatever we put into our mind will be played out in our lives… which takes us to the meaning of the mantra.  

  2. Powerful affirmation.

    The meaning of this mantra is powerful. Sustainer, Liberator, Enlightener, Infinite, Destroyer, Creator, Nameless, Desireless. Our higher self is all those things… So the more we chant this mantra, the more we connect with those parts of ourselves that are sustaining us, liberating us, enlightening us etc, etc… That’s a powerful affirmation, or at least it’s very different to all the things we say to ourselves or think about ourselves on daily basis.

  3. Connecting.

This mantra is an ashtang mantra which has 8 beats, 8 parts. These kinds of mantras are more powerful than others, quickly connecting us to the source, to the Divine. So this is your mantra if you need the connection with your higher self or the Universe.  

4. Fear.  

Fear is not all bad… Fear helps us stay safe and react to situations when necessary. However, when we live with too much fear and it paralyzes us or stops us from doing things which we are meant to do - only then we need to find ways to move fear from our body and mind. And this mantra really helps to move from fear to trust and faith, where we are aware of the danger but we see possibilities and opportunities as well.  

5. Compassion and patience.

As this mantra opens the lock of ignorance and darkness it grants those who meditate on it with patience and compassion. 

I think these reasons are powerful enough to inspire one to learn this beautiful and powerful mantra, meditate with it and reap its benefits.  

Which one of those benefits resonates with you the most? Let me know in the comments.
