On 13 January 1996, Sri Chinmoy sang several Sansrkit mantras he had set to music. This is a particular mantra on health.

(Note, unfortunately, the audio quality is poor.)

 

Mantra published in Prayer World, Mantra World and Japa World 1974

If you are physically weak, if your physical constitution is not satisfactory, if you chant:

Tejohasi tejomayi dhehi viryamasi viryam mayi dhehi valam masi valam mayi dhehi

sincerely and soulfully, in a week’s time you will see a change for the better in your health. It means:

“I pray for dynamic energy;
I pray for dynamic virility;
I pray for indomitable physical strength.”
