Mantra – Deity – day of the week

premaria
Dear Readers and Yogis/Yoginis,
Today’s blog entry makes more sense to those of you who are familiar with the different Deities and Mantras. In future blogs, I’ll talk and explain more about it in detail.
When I visited Swami Anasaktananda-ji (www.sivayogadivine.net) for the first time, one of the many things he taught me was, that there are different days to repeat Mantras for different Deities. They can be repeated anytime, but there is a more auspicious day of the week for each deity or aspect of it. A practice that is done at Swamiji’s Ashram every morning, daily prayer and chanting.

Monday = Siva

Tuesday = Subramanya

Wednesday = Krishna

Thursday = Guru

Friday = Devi

Saturday = Rama

Sunday = Vishnu

Vishnu
Vishnu

OM Shanthi – OM Peace
