Before you begin, let your breath settle.
Let your heart soften.
Let the mind loosen its grip.
You are preparing to enter an inner shrine — a sacred space where Ganesh Tattva, Guru-Tattva, and Bhairava Tattva all merge into Shri Swami Samarth.
This is not merely a practice.
This is an invocation of presence — a return to the One who has been silently guiding you across lifetimes.
Ganesh & Guru Vandana — The Opening of the Inner Temple
To walk the path of Swami Samarth, you first awaken the energy that removes every unseen knot — the compassionate and mighty Shri Ganesh.
Invoke Shri Ganesh
वक्रतुंड महाकाय।
सूर्यकोटि समप्रभ।
निर्विघ्नं कुरु मे देव।
सर्वकार्येषु सर्वदा॥
As the mantra vibrates, feel a subtle clearing happening inside.
A softness… a lightness… a quiet assurance that the path is now open.
Now bow to the eternal stream of truth — the Guru-tattva that flows through every saint, and shines brightest in the Avadhūta, Shri Swami Samarth.
Invoke Guru-Tattva
गुरु ब्रह्मा गुरु विष्णु,
गुरु देवो महेश्वरः।
गुरु साक्षात् परब्रह्म,
तस्मै श्री गुरवे नमः॥
Let this mantra feel like the placing of your heart at the Guru’s feet.
Feel His presence entering, guiding, holding.
Shiva Dhyāna — Entering the Avadhūta Frequency
Swami Samarth is not a mild presence.
His energy is ancient, fiery, untamed — astonishingly close to the Bhairava-tattva, the fierce cosmic force that cuts through illusions in a single breath.
And within this terrifying radiance lives a profound sweetness — the Guru-tattva, deep as an ocean, comforting as a mother’s hand.
To step into Swami’s aura, you first attune to Shiva — the Adi-Guru, the stillness behind all power.
Chant 5 to 11 Malas of the Shiva Mantra
|| शिव हर शंकर, नमामी शंकर, शिव शंकर शंभो
हे गिरिजापति भवानी शंकर, शिव शंकर शंभो ||
Chant slowly.
Let each repetition melt something inside.
With every mala, feel your breath deepen,
your thoughts dissolve,
your inner space becoming clear —
like a throne of stillness being prepared
for Swami Samarth Himself.
Swami Samarth used to chant this mantra. This is why it carries His fragrance, His force, His presence.
The Swami Samarth Tārak Mantra — Calling the Impossible-Maker
Before entering the Tarak Mantra, bow once more to the Guru.
Guru Stotram (Repeat Once)
गुरु ब्रह्मा गुरु विष्णु,
गुरु देवो महेश्वरः।
गुरु साक्षात् परब्रह्म,
तस्मै श्री गुरवे नमः॥
This second bow is your surrender —
your way of saying:
“Swami, guide me. Walk into my inner world.
Burn what must be burned. Bless what must be blessed.”
Now enter the mantra that awakens Swami’s fearless, destiny-transforming power.

Silent Remembrance — Staying in Swami’s Aura
After the Tarak Mantra, sit in the sweetness of the silence.
Let your inner voice softly repeat:
श्री स्वामी समर्थ जय जय स्वामी समर्थ
Let it rise and fall with your breath.
Let it repeat itself effortlessly.
Let it continue throughout your day.
This is how Swami begins to live inside you —
as a constant hum,
a heartbeat of remembrance,
a presence that never leaves.
