Hidden Powers of Mantra

• Origin of Universe
• Vedic affirmation of the eternal omnipresent
  Omkar
• Power of Mantra
• The power of chant of a mantra is purely
  spiritual in nature.
• It is a kind of conscious energy that influences
  body, mind inner self (attitude)
• Generates specific vibrations in the subliminal
  environment cosmic domains of consciousness
• Importance of sonic pattern
• Specific compilation of syllables and sonic
  patter of a mantra are of crucial importance.
• The syllables used in a mantra are like coded
  representation of sonic energy latently stored in
  it.
• Enunciation or chanting specific combination of
  specific syllables in specific order generates
  specific quanta of energy that could be of
  manifold higher order than nuclear energy

Do you know ?? Mantras were invented by the
rishis the scientists of Shabda Brahm-Nada
Brahm- as the coded formulae and subtle sonic
devices to generate and use specific effects of
the sublime power of Shabda.

Hidden Powers of Mantra

• Dual Effects
• Jap of a mantra instantaneously generates dual
  effects one in inner world and other in
  external
• Fire burns whatever is inside it and heats up the
  fireplace and its surrounding area. Similarly,
  continuous chanting of a mantra not only
  titillates specific extrasensory energy centers,
  nerve bundles and ganglions inside chanters body
  but also generates specific vibrations in the
  surrounding space that spreads in all directions
  and influences the subtle environment and other
  conscious beings too
• Subtle Vs. Gross
• The power of sublimated/subtle elements is always
  enormous as compared to that of gross. Power of
  steam (subtle) is far more than water or ice
  (gross). Then what to say about sublime powers
  of supreme energy of Shabda.
• This is what make the mantras so unique and
  endowed with infinite power to vibrate and
  transmute the spiritual as well as physical
  realms of life.

Hidden Powers of Mantra

• Cyclic motion
• As verified in scientific labs, continuous cyclic
  motion produces enormous power.
• By resonance, sound produced by march of a troop
  can even break a bridge. Similarly, The energy
  generated by chanting of mantra in a specific
  rhythm at constant amplitude is also quite
  intense. This conjugated with the impulsive force
  of focused consciousness and vital energy
  stimulates the otherwise latent extrasensory
  hormonal glands and power-nuclei in the body
• Rate of Progress
• The attainment of supernormal bequests depends on
  the mental and spiritual makeup of the chanter
  and his engrossment in disciplined mode of
  chanting.
• For ex., a radio catches only those frequencies
  for which it is tuned. The continuity quality
  of reception would correspond to unperturbed
  linkage sensitivity perfection of internal
  components

Why Chant ? How to Chant ?

• Purpose
• As body clothes get clean after rubbing with
  soap. Similarly, chanting is the process of
  cleansing /refining our inner self/attitude.
• To awaken hidden divinity within and inculcate
  divine virtues by simultaneously meditating over
  them
• 4 stages
• Repetition
• Retention
• Recall
• Recognition (to put into practice change ones
  lifestyle
• Transformation of Ego
• The chanter while chanting any mantra should
  meditate upon the meaning of the mantra and
  believe that divine qualities are being kindled
  within him and he should try to bring a
  transformation in his lifestyle by believing that
  he is not an ordinary soul and there is no room
  for any undesirability within him.

6
How to Chant ?

• Not just bead rotation
• The process of chanting should not be only
  limited to just bead rotation and mechanical
  chanting.
• To reap full and real benefits of chanting,
  meditation is a very important aspect which is
  generally ignored by chanters who just worry
  about finishing a fixed number of rounds of bead.
• Mechanical chanting although will yield results
  of its own but those are insignificant as
  compared to chanting with correct mindset.

Why Gayatri Mantra ?
Om bhur bhuvah swah tatsaviturvarenyam bhargo
devasya dhimahi dhiyo yonah prachodyat May the
Almighty illuminate our intellect and inspire us
towards the righteous path (Rig-Veda 3/62/10,
Sam-Veda 1462, Yajur-Veda 3/35, 22/9, 30/2, 36/3)

• Supreme of all Mantras
• This eternal mantra is said to be the genesis of
  the Vedas.
• The seers, spiritual saints and scholars of all
  ages affirm the divine preeminence of this
  mantra.
• Unique composition
• It has remarkable configuration of 24 syllables
  (carriers of Sabda Sakti)

  force which is derived from the deeper science of
  Sabda brahm Naad brahm

  of past karmas (deeds)
• Chanter develops a divine ego which enables him
  to remove the

Why Gayatri Mantra ?

• Scientific aspects
• Unperturbed enunciation of this mantra for a
  continuous stretch of time would also generate
  powerful currents that could induce divine
  effects by vibrating all subtle glands,
  ganglions, nerve bundles, neuronal passages and
  extrasensory energy centers in the physical,
  subtle and astral bodies.
• Scientific experiments reveal that chanting of
  Gayatri Mantra stimulates emission of supernormal
  brain impulses that generate specific aura around
  the chanter
• The sound waves that are created, when Gayatri
  Mantra is said, is of the shape of a ring. It
  rises up with great speed, through the medium of
  ether and goes towards Sun, and after touching
  the surface of the Sun, it returns back along
  with the powers of Sun, like Heat, Light,
  electrical and other powers which are very
  subtle. Thus the Mantra combined with all the
  powers of the Sun re-enters the subtle body of
  the Practicer. The stronger the will-power and
  emotion attached with the Mantra, the Stronger is
  the attraction of these powers of the Sun. If the
  Mantra is said with the full concentartion of
  Mind, it can make impossible, possible.

Why Gayatri Mantra ?

• Views
• Theosophist scholar Mr. Leadveater attributes
  distinctive significance to the collective
  chanting of Gayatri Mantra in his book Man-
  Visible, Invisible . The sonic waves along with
  the sublime currents of Sabd sakti produced by
  the chanting of the mantra propagate upwards in a
  spiral shape and expand up to the heart of Sun
  (the deity of Gayatri Mantra). The echo of these
  is reflected back and bestows the supernatural
  energy and flow of prana and divine brilliance of
  Sun on the body, mind and inner self of the
  chanter.
• Arthur Koestler, a renowned thinker, philosopher
  in an interview to Blitz magazine said
  commenting on the nuclear war The great Gayatri
  Mantra is more powerful than thousands of atom
  bombs. If all of India collectively chants this
  mantra, the power aroused thereby would annul all
  hazards of nuclear warfare and protect the
  globe.

Om bhur bhuvah swah tatsaviturvarenyam bhargo
devasya dhimahi dhiyo yonah prachodyat May the
Almighty illuminate our intellect and inspire us

Sam-Veda 1462, Yajur-Veda 3/35, 22/9, 30/2, 36/3)

Individual Vs Collective Effort

• Importance of United efforts
• United efforts bear unique importance.

  strong rope
• Sunrays are bearable when spread on earths
  surface when focused together at a point via
  convex lens, they kindle fire instantaneously

• 11 11
• Power of collective endeavors is far more
  significant in the fields of consciousness and
  spirituality.
• Grouping of inert object with another gives two
  objects whereas join venture of two active,
  talented persons may work like that of 1111 or
  even more

  pilgrims is truly remarkable.

  of compatible ideologies motivated for a common
