• Taken from The hidden messages in water by Dr
  Masaru Emoto.

Dr Emotos work has not yet been put up to full
scientific rigors, but this research definitely
points to more research in this area. Let us
consider the impact of this on our body. Our
body is around 70 water. Let us fill this water
of the body with negative energy by chanting
abuses all day. Our body is full of ugly shaped
molecules. What happens when we chant the holy
name? What if these crystals are symbols of the
beautiful transformation our body is undergoing
on our spiritual path?

It is commonly believed that mantras can carry
hidden power which can in turn produce certain
effects. The ancient Vedic literatures are full
of descriptions of weapons being called by mantra.
Mantras carry hidden spiritual power, which can
produce significant benefits when chanted
properly. Indeed, the Vedas themselves are sound
vibrations in literary form and carry a profound
message. Spiritual disciplines recommend
meditational practices such as silent meditation,
silent recitation of mantras and also the verbal
repetition of specific mantras out loud.
