Ansuz Society - Om Shri Mahakala Hum Hum Phat

108 repetitions. Recorded at Ansuz Society, Summer 2023. One way to interpret this mantra is “Sacred (Om) Lord (Shri) Beyond Time (Mahakala), Blazing (Hum) Energy (Hum) of Dissolution (Phat).“ There are many ways that one can interpret this particular mantra based on one’s background, source tantra, and intent. Because this is a common mantra of Vajrayana Buddhists, we have used the Tibetan pronunciation of the word Phat which is “pey“. Despite this, and in order to pay homage to Sanskrit origins, we have added a track pronouncing Phat as “futt“ as well. These are the two ways in which we have learned to vocalize this syllable, although, we are aware there are others. If you know of another way to say this word, please comment below. May all beings benefit and may Mahakala destroy all obstacles on the road to our enlightenment. Hailaz / Namaste #mahakala #vajrayana #buddhism #mantra
