Immediately after writing my past article on karma, I learned about a wonderful tool that assists us in clearing this energetic residue – the Usnisa Vijaya Dharani. This Sanskrit prayer is said to “purify all evil paths,” releasing us from the karma of past lives. Here it is:
NAMO BHAGAVATE TRAILOKYA PRATIVISISTAYA BUDDHAYA BHAGAVATE. TADYATHA, OM, VISUDDHAYA-VISUDDHAYA, ASAMA-SAMA SAMANTAVABHASA- SPHARANA GATI GAHANA SVABHAVA VISUDDHE, ABHINSINCATU MAM. SUGATA VARA VACANA AMRTA ABHISEKAI MAHA MANTRA-PADAI. AHARA-AHARA AYUH SAM-DHARANI. SODHAYA-SODHAYA, GAGANA VISUDDHE. USNISA VIJAYA VISUDDHE. SAHASRA-RASMI, SAMCODITE, SARVA TATHAGATA AVALOKANI, SAT-PARAMITA, PARIPURANI, SARVA TATHAGATA MATI DASA-BHUMI, PRATI-STHITE, SARVA TATHAGATA HRDAYA ADHISTHANADHISTHITA MAHA-MUDRE. VAJRA KAYA, SAM-HATANA VISUDDHE. SARVAVARANA APAYA DURGATI, PARI-VISUDDHE, PRATI-NIVARTAYA AYUH SUDDHE. SAMAYA ADHISTHITE. MANI-MANI MAHA MANI. TATHATA BHUTAKOTI PARISUDDHE. VISPHUTA BUDDHI SUDDHE.

SARVA TATHAGATA SINCA ME SAMASVASAYANTU. SARVA TATHAGATA SAMASVASA ADHISTHITE, BUDDHYA-BUDDHYA, VIBUDDHYA-VIBUDDHYA, BODHAYA-BODHAYA, VIBODHAYA-VIBODHAYA. SAMANTA PARISUDDHE. SARVA TATHAGATA HRDAYA ADHISTHANADHISTHITA MAHA-MUDRE SVAHA.
The use of this prayer is extremely effective if repeated seven times right before dawn. Give it a try! Don’t worry too much about getting the pronunciation “right” – the energy of the prayer will be activated regardless.

Just thought I’d pass on this tool to you!

I hope you derive much benefit from this immense treasure & blessing. I happened to stumble across it yesterday and feel daunted about its pronounciation as well as how to do the procedure with respect and devotion. It has been a generous gift from the Universe & I feel so thankful to be the recipient of it and to pass it on. May you be blessed with a life free of suffering, one that is a beacon of hope and saturated with the joy of being loved by many!
