Baba Nam Kevalam

I went to my university today to get my clearance and the remaining two grades of my Cell & Molecular Biology Lecture and Laboratory. I passed! And i'm off to the last semester of my college life. Before going I had a lot in my mind, assumptions, thoughts about people, what I should do, future thoughts again. Anyway, since I can't do anything about what will happen throughout the day, I immediately cleared out these thoughts because they're making me anxious again. So good thing for 'quieting the mind' my mind was really quiet and calm throughout the day.

I spent time with my two friends, Mariden and Gela. And I was thinking of my other friends whom I wasn't able to see and kept thinking about where they were at that moment and what they were doing. Again, not healthy, so I cleared them out and focused my attention to the two ladies. :)

I'm listening to a free online streaming audio for meditation. The mantra is Baba Nam Kevalam. Here is what Ananda Marga has to say about it:

Baba means "my most beloved One", Nam means "name of" or "to identify with", and Kevalam means "only". So the meaning of the mantra is "My most Beloved is the only One." The ideation is: "Everywhere I look, in everything I hear, feel, see, taste and smell, I perceive that one Supreme Consciousness which pervades all things."

I first heard this mantra when I was doing yoga at the Ananda Marga Yoga Center at Sikatuna Village. I was quite curious why the background music had such a peculiar phrase it kept on repeating. I didn't quite make out the words, but when I researched after three yoga sessions later, I found the webpage and Baba Nam Kevalam fitted the tune that was playing in my head (the music they were playing at the center).

Here out the music and meditate! It's beautiful!
