The
power of Sabda is indeed astonishing when realized in the spiritual realms in
terms of mantras. The Satvika mantras are sources of overall refinement of the
physical as well as spiritual domains of life. The Sadhana of such Vedic
mantras bestow individual and global welfare in the truest sense. The Tantrika
mantras posses tremendous potential that could be employed as 'mechanized'
device to affect specific targets - be that mind or matter…. If misused, the
negative effects of the Tantrika mantras could be disastrous for the user and
the target both.
The
human body and mind constitute a super advanced scientific laboratory. The
founders of the mantra vijnana used to conduct experiments in this fantastic
bequest of Nature.
According
to the ancient philosophy of mysticism (rasasyavada) - Sabda is eternal and is
the fundamental perpetual force that effectuated the creation of the universe.
The blueprint of any event that is going to happen anywhere in the cosmic
expansion first occurs in the form of the vibrations of Sabda in the ocean of
its omnipresent Nada. Te experts of mantra vijnana were able to 'perceive'
these subliminal vibrations and could therefore 'visualize' the future events
with ease. The sole aim of their experiments with the mantras was - cognition
of the absolute truth and using its ultimate knowledge for divine illumination
of the world……..
Our
body is defined in the ancient scriptures as a manifestation of specific
reactions of Sabda. With this perception, the rhythmic cascade of bodily
functions could be termed as a bio-swing, moving according to the set frequency
(like that of a radio) of Sabda. When all the components of this gigantic
'sonic' device of our body (and mind) are harmonized, we are in fine health and
mood and work in perfection according to its natural frequency.
The
modern experts like Dr. Steven Hyper, director, Spectrum Research Inst.,
California, Opine that - we all live in an ocean of sound, some vibrations of
which are compatible with our own frequency. Dr. G. Kozhinov of Bulgaria has
conducted some experiments on Yoga to investigate such compatible frequency
ranges. His findings show that - the subjects go into a state of trance while
kept in controlled conditions under the influence of sonorous sounds of
specific medium range frequencies, played at specific rhythms.
Dr.
Hans Jane of Zurich has quoted in his dissertation on semantics that - (energy)
waves constitute and transform any kind of matter that exists physically….. In
his scientific experiments he had demonstrated the liquefying of steel plates
by the effect of sound waves. In yet another experiment, he had produced a
compound of this liquid by mixing powdered plastic and some metals under
superimposed effects of similar sound waves. By controlled sonic vibrations on
this compound he reconstructed the plates whose upper surfaces now had a
transformed appearance.
Dr.
Hans has developed a tonoscope based on the principles of sonic
transformations. The sounds received by the input microphone of this instrument
are converted into visual images on the output screens. He has invented that
Oam is a mantra that generates very specific geometrical images on the
tonoscope. (Remarkably, these images correspond to the Sanskrit syllable used
to represent this unique sound). He concludes that the specified vibrations of
mantras and the specific patterns of their japa - as invented by the Nepalese
seers of yore - must have been great source of generation of immense energy,
mental inspiration and consequent multifaceted development of happy and healthy
society.
If
a stone is thrown in a silent water pond then circular waves, moving in the
transverse directions, are generated on its surface. Similarly, any vibration
in the etheric ocean generates sound waves in the cosmos. These waves move
longitudinally in all directions forming a virtual 'sphere' of vibrations in
the space… As the region of expansion
and the strength of the waves in the water pond will be more for the heavier
stone…, similarly, the impact of louder sound (at a common frequency) generate
the sound waves of higher intensity and vice versa. The methods of collective
japa or chanting of mantras seem to have been designed according to this
principle of synergistic amplification of intensity. These are found to induce
magnificent impact on the gross and subliminal domains of life….
The
research on sound therapy carried out by Dr. Leislier Lasanio of Vienna has
also been significan tin terms of investigation into an ancient branch of knowledge
through modern scientific means. His experiments on Yoga along with recitation
of "Oam" have shown very positive effects on a large number of
patients in his sanatorium.
Similar
research projects in some other advanced laboratories have shown that specific
sonic vibrations (and hence the mantras in particular), have intensive effect
on the endocrine glands. The musical sound of Nature such as, the music of
winds, soothing sound of the smooth flow of rivers, the melodious sound of the
birds……, etc, is also found to have positive effects on the physical and mental
health. These findings are like 'another step' towards the realization of the
unique bequest of the Almighty bestowed upon us in the form of Nada existing in
the Nature. Ancient scriptures on Nada Yoga and Sabda Yoga would offer deeper
insight for more meaningful research in this direction.
The
Risis had described the Sadhana of Sabda Brahm - Nada Brahm as effective modes
of linkage between the individual consciousnesses in the mortal world and the
divine realms of supreme consciousness. In depth study of the treasure of
knowledge provided by them and research experiments on sound, mantra vijnana
and spirituality promise majestic support for the ideal ascent of life…..
