Oh there is the link! Thanks Gordon!

 

SAT NAM!

 

Also I learned some arm+hand movements to do as you chant the mantra. I will

do my best to describe them...

 

Gobinde: Hold arms out to sides, forearms parallel with floor, elbows bent

90* upwards, hands in fists with wrists foreward.

 

Mukunde: Straighten and extend arms upward along side ears, open hands and

face palms inward towards each other.

 

Udare: Bring hands together overhead in a prayer-like position but with just

the finger tips touching (Hakini Mudra).

 

Apare: Still holding the mudra, bring the hands down in front of the heart.

 

Hariang: Roll the fingers away from you and upwards, bringing the backs of

the fingers and hands together in the motion... into...

 

Kariung: ...ending the "roll" with the palms facing up, pinky sides pressed

together like a mudra of offering, extending the arms out away from your

heart. (this is hard to describe!)

 

Nirname: Arms still extended, fold the palms together in prayer with

fingertips facing out.

 

Akame: Bring prayer hands back to your heart!

 

Beautiful! I hope my directions are clear, and also if anyone can confirm or

clarify them that would be lovely!

 

SAT NAM!

Sat Nam Ranjit!

 

I was with you up until Hariang. Could you please clarify something

for me?

They way I'm envisioning doing this is as follows: Hands together at

the chest/heart center with palms facing each other but only

fingertips touching. The fingers 'roll' away such that the pinkies

are the first to seperate contact and the thumbs are last. The thumbs

act as a sort of 'hinge' as the hands rotate from fingertips touching

to backs of fingers/hands touching. In this position, the fingers are

pointing straight out in front of you and palms are facing opposite

sides. Also at this point, the hands are fully extended in front of

you and parallel to the ground. Is that correct?

Here's where I get confused. If I'm doing the Hariang correct (as I

described above) I don't see how you can continue a roll so that the

palms face up again with pinkies touching. The hands would be

doing '360's'. Which means I'm not doing Hariang correctly. But I'm

not sure how else to envision what you are describing.

 

Oh, wait a minute. Unless the fingers don't roll away, but rather

roll toward you, but they move away. Which would mean the thumbs

seperate first and pinkies seperate last. So the pinkies are

the 'hinge.' Hands are pointing straight up still as the backs of the

hands and fingers touch. As the arms move further out from you the

roll sort of 'reverses'. The backs of the hands seperate so that the

pinkies are touching again (hinge thing), and stop when the hands are

flat, in front of you, palms facing up. Which is essentially half way

between the first and second position. Ok, that would make sense. Is

that what you meant?

hee hee! that was so hard to describe! thanks for asking...

 

YES! You roll the hands INTO you... I think also you could say that the

index finger would be part of the "hinge" with the thumb as the pinkies

separate first, roll under toward you and come back together at the sides as

palms face up. Does that makes sense? It sounds like you got it by the end

of your message

 

SAT NAM!

Nope, I was still doing it wrong at the end of my post. But the light

bulb went off when you said "roll under toward you". Now I get it. I

wasn't rolling in either one of my versions. I was 'folding' in and

out. But I'm with you now.

 

I may be slow, but I get there!
