--- Right: I've been initiated into Surat Shabda Yoga: by representatives of Darshan Singh, Charan Singh, and Thakur Singh. The 5 Names are 1. Jot Narinjin, 2. Omkar 3. Rarankar 4. Sohang 5. Sat Nam. The seeker repeats the Names over and over again slowly. I couldn't detect any power whatsoever in those mantras; so I continued with TM (which does have Shakti-power in it).
