Sharing this tradition & song with others as we collectively grieve the passing of Tosh. Let us lift his soul & carry him home in love. 💛🔹️💛
For those not familiar w/ chanting "akaal", here is a brief intro and link:
In the tradition of millions of Sikhs and Kundalini yoga students around the world, one such meditative practice is done as soon as possible after the soul has left the body. This is the sole use of the chant “Akaal.”
In a special service honoring the departed, the mantra-word “Akaal” may be chanted by a congregation 3, 5 or 11 times. In a practice dedicated to helping the soul rise, one person alone or a group of family and friends chant for a loved one using the “Akaal” sound repetitively for 11 minutes over 17 days. The sound translates into “no death, deathless, immortal, timeless.” It reminds the soul of its basic nature.
To sound the mantra properly there are only two syllables--“uh-Kaal”: the first is short and the second is drawn out with a long breath. A full and powerful inhale is required before each repetition.
The 17-day period of time, according to Kundalini Yoga Master Yogi Bhajan, covers the time the soul stays within the earth's frequencies, clearing up and learning all that it can from its recently completed lifetime.
The chant itself helps the soul to rise from the heavier earth vibrations into a higher plane, perhaps elevating the soul between lifetimes or putting them on a brighter path for their next lifetime. The power of this chant can even give the soul a boost to leave the earth's electromagnetic field and enter the realms of the heavenly ethers.
