Mantra for Moving Traffic: Aad Such

Traffic. It's the pits. You're stuck. You can't get out. God forbid it's summer and your car doesn't have air conditioning. Slowly the fumes get to you, gifting you with a headache and tight muscles. Heavens to Betsy you're trying to actually get somewhere on time. Somewhere important. Like NOW!

There's a mantra for everything. There's even a mantra for traffic. Well, really it's a mantra for moving obstacles out of your way and for moving you when you are stuck. Which sounds like traffic to me. When recently at a dead standstill on a bridge in New York City for a half an hour, I started to chant this mantra and in a few minutes traffic was moving again. Coincidence? Possibly. But chanting sure beats cursing. Try it for yourself and see if it moves the cars, or your spirit, into a better place.

Mantra for Moving Traffic:

Aad Such Jugaad Such Hai Bhai Such Nanak Hosee Bhai Such

(Translation: True in the beginning, true throughout the ages, true even now, Nanak, truth shall ever be.)

(Editor's Note: Try these great recordings of this powerful mantra, written by Guru Nanak's son Baba Siri Chand...)
