Control Your Mind with the Gita: Nityanand Charan Das's Powerful Mantra

“Most of our battles aren't with the world, but only with our own minds,” says Nityanand Charan Das, a renowned monk and spiritual teacher.

In a world full of many distractions, overthinking, fear, and also endless cravings, it's our mind that often becomes the greatest enemy, or our greatest ally, if much properly trained.

According to the Bhagavad Gita, the mind cannot be controlled only by suppression or force. Instead, it is highly tamed through devotion, discipline, and a perfect spiritual association. 

Daily chanting, reading scriptures, and also surrounding ourselves with the spiritually grounded people can help to greatly purify and align the mind with a much higher purpose.

Mantra: The Ancient Key to Mental Clarity-

In Sanskrit, “Man” means mind, and “Mantra” is fully derived from the “Manas Trayate Iti Mantra” that liberates or often controls our mind. For the age of Kali Yuga, as mentioned in the Kali Santaran Upanishad, the best powerful mantra is:

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna
Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
Hare Rama Hare Rama
Rama Rama Hare Hare

Chanting this sacred mantra with perfect focus and devotion naturally pacifies the whole wandering mind, helping us to easily shift from chaos to calm, from distraction to complete devotion.

Start Small, and Transform Deeply-

You don't need to renounce everything to experience the mental peace. As Nityanand Charan Das beautifully puts it in:

“Start small only. One mantra, one conscious breath, and only one moment of surrender.”

With utmost consistency and much sincerity, even a few minutes of chanting daily can easily begin to transform your entire inner world.
