    Shri Nrisimha Mahamantra with new yoga teachers from Bamberg and Bayreuth

    New yoga teachers from Bamberg and Bayreuth in Germany are chanting the Shri Nrisimha Mahamantra during a saturday evening satsang at Yoga Vidya in Bad Meinberg, Germany.

    Here are the lyrics to sing along:

    Ugram Viram Maha-vishnum ‚Jvalantam Sarvato-mukham /
    Nri-sinham Bhishanam Bhadram ‚Nrityu-nrityum Namany Aham // 1 //

    Namas Te Nara-sinhaya ‚Prahlada-hlada-dayine /
    Hiranya-kashipor Vaksah- ‚Shila-tanka-nakhalaye // 2 //

    Ito Nri-sinhah Parato Nri-sinho ‚Yato Yato Yami Tato Nri-sinhah /
    Bahir Nri-sinho Hridaye Nri-sinho ‚Nri-sinham Adim Sharanam Prapadye // 3 //

    Narasimha is the lion god. Narasimha is an incarnation of Vishnu. Vishnu takes on various forms to restore dharma, the divine order. And Narasimha is one of them. Narasimha means half human, half lion. Simha means lion, Nara means human. Narasimha, the man-lion, or sometimes simply Nrisimha, the human lion or the lion-like man. Man-lion, lion-man is how it is translated. This kirtan consists of three verses and invokes this lion power.

    Jago Ma Jago Ma with Group Mudita

    Group Mudita perform the kirtan Jago Ma Jago Ma at Yoga Vidya in Bad Meinberg, Germany.

    The kirtan uses a simple but powerful repetition: the word “Jago” (wake up), combined with “Ma” (mother), invokes the divine mother in collective singing.

    Jago Jago Ma, Jago Jago Ma

    Shankari Ma

    (… further invocations …)

    The sound is cyclical—ranging from a calm, meditative mood to an uplifting, communal energy. This dynamic allows for both individual listening and communal singing and chanting in a circle.

    Jago means “awaken/wake up.” In spiritual songs, this can mean: Awaken inwardly, open your heart, recognize divine reality.

    Ma stands for “mother” — here in the sense of a divine, universal mother, often associated with the feminine power of the universe. In many mantras and bhajans, “Ma” is used as an address to the divine mother.

    Shankari Ma refers to a form of this Divine Mother — a loving, protective, and awakening power. In kirtan, she is invoked to grant protection, awareness, and blessings.

    In the tradition of such bhajans and kirtans, the call “Jago Ma” often symbolizes awakening — whether spiritual, emotional, or as an awareness of the divine presence within us.
