Honor Christ, access spiritual insight, Christ Consciousness

The word "Christ" is derived from a Greek term, "Khrestos". The word Christ is a title. It is not a person. It is a cosmic force, an energy, a radiation, a vibration, a sound. This mantra devoted to Jesus was composed and spoken in Sanskrit.
Om -- the fundamental Sound of creation and the first Word
Sri Yeshu -- Lord Jesus
Bhagavate -- the Supreme Reality
Namaha -- I honor thy name and prostrate to you
There is evidence that Jesus traveled to India during the "missing years" in the Bible, and even following the crucifixion. Whether he did or not we don't know. More important may be the fact that Jesus continues to breathe the infinite Christ-Kutastha wisdom and consciousness into us. His given name was Yeshua or Jesus. His honorific title was Christ. In the body of Jesus was born the vast Christ Consciousness.
It is believed then and now by devotees in the east and west that chanting this mantra opens a doorway to access insights into the soul, the Self and the power of the living Christ Consciousness. Experiencing the vibration is the true teaching of this chant / mantra.

This is a Christian meditation mantra that has been used for and by the early monks, though it is little known as a mantra practice.
It is the mantra "Maranatha". The word "Maranatha" is the final instruction of St. Paul's teachings to the Corinthians, and is St. John's final instruction in the Book of Revelations. Thus, the last word, the final teaching of the entire Christian Bible is "Maranatha" which is Aramaic and means, "Come Lord".
Mara-natha and Maran-atha: When the word Maranatha is parsed (broken into parts) as "mara-natha" or "maran-atha", it has two different meanings: As "mara-natha", it means "Come Lord" or "Lord Come". As "maran-atha", it means "Lord is Here" or "Lord has Come".
Mantra with breath: While the mantra may be done completely in the mind field, it also coordinates nicely with the breath when remembered silently as Ma-Ra-Na-Tha, with each of the four parts remembered separately -- Ma (inhale), Ra (exhale), Na (inhale), Tha (exhale)
Mantra without following the breath: Simply chant the mantra in your mind or out loud as you use your mala beads.
