POWER OF MANTRAS PROF. PRAMOD BHATNAGAR Ex-Head of Physics Department. Post Graduate College, Haryana. INDIA Presently In-charge, Abroad cell, ShantiKunj,Haridwar. INDIA POWER OF MANTRA What is Mantra ? The Combination of Sanskrit letters is the Mantra. Each letter has its own meaning and effect. Word is formed with letters. Each and every word has its effect on human mind and body. POWER OF MANTRA In order to understand the science of Mantra, we must know some basic Facts. What is a Mantra? A mantra is composed of psychically potent sound syllables that are capable of influencing the human system both physically and spiritually. They can excite the emotions and give suggestion to the mind. They influence both the one who chants them and the one hears them. What is a Mantra? The word mantra comes from the Sanskrit word Mantrana, which means advice or suggestions. According to the Upanishads, the original abode of the mantra was the "Parma Akesh" or primeval ether, the eternal and immutable substratum of the universe. How does a Mantra work? A mantra is also an energy field composed of certain frequencies that have a pattern of their own and a vibration field that creates different intonation. These frequencies and the sympathetic overtones generated by them influence our sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous, which are spread in a fine neural network through our internal organs in the body. How does a Mantra work? The sympathetic response generates the Nero-motor response and influences two hemisphere of the human cerebral cortex. Effect of mantra Mantra practice involves the left hemisphere of the brain and is therefore effective in increasing positive emotions. The intonation and melody, which are the essential parts of Mantras, remove negative emotions. In association with a Yantra or a picture of a deity - the mantra also provides the right hemisphere with a concrete visual image of the object of emotional attention. POWER OF MANTRA It is well known fact that sound is regarded as the basic source of energy and motion existing in the universe. The existence of material world is said to have originated from the cosmic impulse, the infinite bang of Shabda. POWER OF MANTRA * Mantras are powerful sounds and when chanted with devotion produce enormous effects. * Mantras are well-off in their meanings and their meaning can be meditated while chanting. Mantras Are Energy-Based Sounds Sound is the foremost content of the creation. Mantras are divine sounds. Saying any word produces an actual physical vibration. Mantras appear really powerful when this sound effect reaches the mind and the surroundings. Mantras Create Thought-Energy Waves Mantra, when chanted sincerely produces a state where the organism vibrates at the rate completely in tune with the energy and spiritual state, represented by and contained within the mantra. Mantra Have Fire-Like Energy Mantras have fire like energy which can bring a positive and beneficial result, or it can produce an energy meltdown when misused or practiced without some guidance Mantras Eventually Quiet the Mind Mantras Eventually Quiet the Mind At a deep level, subconscious mind is a collective consciousness of all the forms of primitive consciousnesses which exist throughout the physical and subtle bodies. We all can easily experience the powers of hydro, thermal, electrical and wind energies in different forms. That Shabda or any form of sound also has similar or greater impact cannot be believed or realized so clearly. Even the visible effects of music are found to vary according to the psychology or emotional state of the subject and are therefore experienced in varied contexts and intensities, then one can imagine the gigantic impact of the enormous vibrations created by the ever more loud sound (ranging from day-to-day speech to the traffic-noise... and to the explosive sound of space crafts...., etc) produced by the living beings on the earth...; POWER OF MANTRAS In our daily life, we generally come across with two type of sound-vyakta means audible and avyakta means non audible. *Acoustic theories of modern Physics have explained these in terms of frequencies. * The ultra and Supersonic forms are avyakta. While sound of frequency range cps., are vyakta. POWER OF MANTRAS Our cosmos consists of the sound waves of all frequency range-beyond the grasp of our audio sensors and even beyond the limits of our imagination. Many animals in this world are well equipped to perceive such subtle sounds in some range. Several birds and animals are therefore able to sense the future events. POWER OF MANTRAS The sonic vibrations of each spoken or mentally thought syllable exist in the universe for ever. This power is indeed super normal as compared to the capabilities of the modern inventions like radio, television, and radar.etc. Mantra vigyana is the science of the subliminal as well as the cosmic powers of sound. POWER OF MANTRAS Radio Television Radar The specific configuration of the syllable compiled in the mantras makes them important in terms of associated sonic effect. The enunciation of a vedic mantra in a specific composition of accent, pitch, intensity, amplitude and rhythm results in its expansion (at a pace faster than the laser beams) in the endless domain of physical energy waves and consciousness. POWER OF MANTRAS Amplitude Intensity Pitch The energy generated by the decomposition-through Japa of a mantra-of the cosmic sound (Shabda) would be of exponential magnitude as compared to that of atomic energy. POWER OF MANTRAS The scientific investigations on the existence and properties of sound waves indicates that the effects of sound could be as physical as those of other forms of energy. Doppler Effect explains all this facts. The Historic breaking of a bridge due to the superimposition of the cyclic sound created by the orderly footsteps of the Napoleon's Army. sound waves Doppler Effect. Resonance Falls of several huge and stout bridges due to the synchronization of sound of noisy winds or noise of the surroundings- just as the falls of the Lao Bernard Bridge in France in 1852 and The Ohio rivers bridge in USA in 1854 and those of its Niagara water-fall in 1864 and 1889, the bridge over Tacoma river in Washington, in 1940. During first world war, some German Scientists are said to have gained by the fact that they had the knowledge to develop a weapon that could produce waves of a frequency higher than 10 raise to power 5 VPS. Such Waves would ruin the targeted person in less than a second because the resultant sonic effect would destroy the neurons of the subjects at the rate faster than that due to a high power direct electric shock The harmonious tune of a musical instrument if repeated under appropriate synchronization (in terms of frequency, amplitude, intensity, rhythm) with other musical output (e.g. the tinkling sound of the bells in the ankle- ornament of a dancer) can result in the destruction of the stage set for the musical performance. Synchronization & Tinkling Sound synchronization Tinkling sound Occurrence of earthquakes are also largely attributed to similar effects, of periodic resonance of superimposed sound waves deep inside the earths surface. During the peak of the Cold-War times, some Russian scientists had conducted experiments in which they had sent infrasonic signals to several parts, esp. in the factory-mining areas, of Canada. Earthquakes . One such interesting phenomenon is associated with the research of Prof. Govard Marceillis of Vienna. He used to feel dull and restless with nausea while working in the office in his properly clean and airy chamber. This had started happening every day since several months. Mysteriously, his condition would become normal as soon as he came out of the particular chamber.... His body and mind were in good health otherwise. Regular observance of this peculiar phenomenon prompted him to investigate the matter.... Once, while he was sitting with the support of a wall in his chamber, he sensed some sort of vibrations in it. It was found that the noise of an air- conditioner (fitted several months ago) in the adjacent room gives rise to these vibrations.....; the frequency of these micro-scale vibrations was found to measure around 07 hertz, which was generating infrasonic waves in the chamber of the Professor. The Science of Mantra is based on the realization of the original energy currents subliminally indwelling in Shabda without any amplification or control from outside ( e.g. by electric impulses). Every mantra in Vedas has been linked with a devata that symbolizes an eternal energy field of specific flow of cosmic consciousness. Most importantly, the latent power of Shabda stimulates the subtle nuclei of consciousness inside to divine powers, the holy quotes or the preaching of great saints, create corresponding positive effects on our mind and sentiments. Sacred thoughts and deeds are directly linked with such boons. Loud sounds at the peak of the very high snow-mountains can make the surrounding snow melt and thus result in a landslide! Similarly, the power (of Shabda) indwelling in the words of a prayer emerging from the deep sentiments can even penetrate the skies of the sublime consciousness The science of mantras is founded on the science of the conscious currents of the Shabda inherent in the musical sound generated by a conscious being. The meaning of the mantras has negligible importance as compared to the specific configuration of syllables/phonemes in them. Science of Mantras The Gayatri Mantra is regarded as supreme of all the Vaidika Mantras. In terms of linguistic meaning, it is a universal prayer of arousal and illumination of righteous intellect in all. Many other divine prayers written in different languages might also imply similar meanings, but it is the unique sonic pattern that gives a unique importance to this mantra. The subtle sonic pattern of this mantra is supposed to generate specific vibrations in the gross as well as the mental and causal bodies of the sadhaka and in his surroundings. These vibrations empowered by the spiritual force of the sadhakas purified inner. The Gayatri Mantra is regarded to be the origin (mother) of all the vaidika mantras hence of the Vedas too. This is why it is also referred as a mahamantra and revered as Vedamata. The majestic power of this eternal mantra is expanding perpetually, as the sadhana of this mantra has been constantly practiced by millions of spiritual experts since the Vedic Age. Vaidika Mantras Whenever a mantra is chanted in a specific rhythmic manner, its associated sonic waves expand in a specific pattern and after traversing across the layers of energy-particles in the surrounding space reach and penetrate the corresponding cosmic nuclei of divine powers. Mantra Structure & Implications of Mantra Swami Ramtirtha had once stated thatOne may become a God but one can never see or show thee The same is true of the subtle elements, they can be experienced or felt-in but cant be seen or shown in the laboratory. Flow of radio waves through the ether is well known no instrument has been able to measure or demonstrate the appearance or existence of ether. Structure & Implications of Mantra The physical world consists of five basic forms of energies, they are- SOUND, LIGHT, HEAT, ELECTRICITY & MAGNETISM. They are convertible in each other. Hence, they all could be regarded as different manifestations of a unique perpetual energy. Basic forms of energies Different Energies HEAT SOUNDMAGNETISM ELECTRIC The Secret of the Power of Mantra Each mantra has a presiding deity. For example the Gayatri mantra is dedicated to Surya Narayan and the Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra to Lord Shiva. Pioneering work of Dr. Emoto Mr Emoto has been visually documenting these molecular changes in water by means of his photographic techniques. He freezes droplets of water and then examines them under a dark field microscope that has photographic capabilities. His work clearly demonstrates the diversity of the molecular structure of water and the effect of the environment upon the structure of the water.

All the alphabets of the sanskrit language are endowed with special vibrational powers, which set out harmonious wave patterns when pronounced. * It is interesting that Dr. Howard Steinguil, an american Scientist has established that recitation of Gayatri Mantra produces 110,000 vibrations per second. Gayatri Mantra *. The mantras which are pronounced in Yagyas are in accordance with prescribed methods and rules. It benefits the persons concerned and makes it possible to stimulate useful vibrations and excitement in the atmosphere. Mantras-Subtle Dimensions of Sound The vibrations of mantras carry immense energy that is amplified by the praa and bio- electricity of the body and the sublime currents of spiritually refined thoughts and sentiments of the sadhaka(s). Mantras Bio-Electricity Bio-electricity The power (Shakti) of mantras is classified into four categories (i) Pramaya Shakti, (ii) Phal Pradan Shakti, (iii) Bahulikaraa Shakti and (iv) yata Yamata Shakti. Maharshi Jaimini has analyzed these aspects in the vedic treatise entitled Prva Mimansa. According to his analysis, the pramaya Shakti deals with the words, phonetics, pronunciations, expression of thy- call and the configuration and order of the mantra.. The power of mantras Types of Mantras Mantras are broadly categorized into 4 distinct types. 1. Saturn Vedic Mantra which has its origin in Vedas 2. Pouranik Mantra which has their origins in different Puranas 3. Beej Mantra which basically signifies the essence or the primal sound of the Akkhars 4.
