Aum Namo Narayana - Chant by Swami Kriyananda

“When you [chant] “God” again and again, forgetting time and with ever-increasing devotion, and when your consciousness forgets itself in [chanting], at that point you will feel the presence of God.” —Swami Yogananda, Advanced Super Cosmic Science Course (1934)

“Once the mind is focused by chanting, and the inner energy is awakened, take your chanting inward. Don’t only “make a glad noise unto the Lord,” as the Bible puts it: Listen for His answer. Meditation is listening, as I’ve said. Feel yourself chanting in attunement, above all, with the Cosmic Sound, Aum. Harmonize yourself inwardly with that sound.”

—Swami Kriyananda, direct disciple of Paramhansa Yogananda, Awaken to Superconsciousness, ch 13 From the book Ananda Chants - https://www.crystalclarity.com/products/ananda-chants
