About us
OM Chanting is a free group practice that uses the transformational power of OM to activate the self-healing potential of participants. The practice transforms negativity into positive energy, helps purify the local environment, and supports the physical, emotional and spiritual well-being of participants.
The practice originates from ancient times in which humankind was more connected to a higher wisdom and living in harmony with the universe. The rishis (the ancient sages and sources of the Vedic scriptures) of that time used this powerful primordial vibration of OM to bring about healing to others and all sorts of imbalances in people and nature.
Mahavatar Babaji, the timeless yogi and source of Kriya Yoga, known to the West foremost through the internationally known book “Autobiography of a Yogi,” reintroduces OM Chanting to the world through his direct disciple Sri Swami Vishwananda. At this current stage of humanity's growth, Mahavatar Kriya Babaji has provided a transformative yoga system, called Atma Kriya. OM healing is part of this powerful system. While Atma Kriya is practised individually, OM Chanting is practised in groups and brings transformation and healing for all people and the world.

Walking Meditation & Mantra Chanting at Queen Elizabeth Park
Queen Elizabeth Park Rose Garden, (just east of Cambie Street), Vancouver, BC, CAWalking Meditation & Mantra Chanting at Queen Elizabeth Park
Join us for a peaceful evening of walking meditation and mantra chanting through the gardens and wooded paths of Queen Elizabeth Park.We’ll meet at the Rose Garden and walk together at a relaxed pace while chanting a sacred mantra aloud as a group. The steady rhythm of walking and chanting creates a moving meditation—an opportunity to quiet the mind, become more present, and enjoy time in nature.
Our route will take us through the park’s gardens, wooded paths and scenic viewpoints before returning to the Rose Garden.
The Mantra
We’ll be practising japa—the meditative repetition of a sacred mantra:
Sri Vitthala Giridhari Parabrahmane NamahMeaning:
“Salutations to the omnipresent Lord, the protector and friend of all.”We’ll chant the mantra aloud together throughout the walk. If it’s new to you, we’ll introduce it before we begin so you can easily follow along.
Walking while repeating a mantra gives the mind a steady point of focus while the body settles into the natural rhythm of movement. Together, movement, sound and repetition create an accessible form of meditation that doesn’t require sitting still.
The Walk
We’ll follow a scenic loop through Queen Elizabeth Park, returning to the Rose Garden at the end.The walk is approximately 2.5–3 km at a relaxed pace, with some hills and inclines along the way. This is a gentle, contemplative walk rather than a hike.
No previous meditation, mantra or japa experience is necessary.
Come on your own or with a friend—beginners are warmly welcome.
Meeting Point
Rose Garden, Queen Elizabeth ParkWhat to Bring
Comfortable walking shoes and water. If you have a japa mala and japa bag, feel free to bring them.Come walk, chant and experience meditation in motion together.
