"There are many ways to reach inside and find peace and truth. Singing is one of the easiest and most joyful methods of concentration of the Divine. Singing about the noble qualities of the Divine, which is known in Sanskrit as Bhajan, is a very simple yet most effective and enjoyable expression of devotion. Bhajan will pull the mind upwards in a spiritual direction."

THE RELEASE MANTRA

Sudha Sindoor Madyee Suravitha Pivaadi Parivruthe
Manidveepe Nipopa Vanavathi Chinthamani Gruhe
Sivakaare Manje Paramasiva Paryanka nilayaam
Bhajanti Tvaam Danyaaha Katichanna Chidananda Laharim

The few who adore You, O Divine Mother, are truly fortunate
You overwhelm us with blissful consciousness
Resting on the glory that is Shiva the Supreme One
In the chamber of wish-fulfilling jewels
In the midst of the garden of pleasure
Situated in the Island of Gems
Which is bordered by swaying rows of holy Kalpaka trees
and floats in the Ocean of the Divine Nectar

This is verse number of 8 of the ancient poem called "Soundarya Lahari" (which literally means "Overwhelming with Divine Splendour"). This is a highly philosophical Sanskrit poem of great precision which adores the glory of the Divine Mother. The text was composed by Adi Shankara and contains 100 mantras which invoke Her blessings. Each mantra is said to have special powers and effects.

This verse has a deep, symbolic meaning. It describes the rising of the spiritual kundalini force in the body. When this great force reaches the highest place at the crown of the head, it creates the bliss-consciousness beyond the body and mind which is very often described by Swamiji. Swamiji very strictly says that you should never try to force the kundalini power to rise in the body. This will happen and slowly under the guidance of a true guru.
