Out of the three most
familiar manifestation of Sabda in energy forms, sound directly affects our
gross body and heat and light influence our subtle and astral bodies
respectively. The later two types of effects often remain unrecognized because
of the random and instantaneous vibrations in our conscious and unconscious
mind and irregularities in our physical activities vis-à-vis the large number
of stochastic interactions in the ever-dynamic modes of our sublime interaction
with the above energies in Nature. Even if the supernatural effects (of Sabda)
are observed, these are often attributed as 'coincidences' owing to the lack of
sufficient knowledge or scientific data to analyze the causes…..
A proper
synchronization of a consistent state of our body and mind with any one of the
above powers of Sabda for a given span of time and at a selected space, free
from other (random) disturbances - is necessary for conducting scientific
experiments to study some such effects, even at a gross level. The philosophy,
discipline and practices of prana yoga, mantra yoga and dhyan yoga should be
studied deeply under adept guidance and gradually applied for conducting feasible
experiments of the above yogas on the gross body, subtle body and the astral
body.
A large number of
yoga exercises under different branches of spiritual disciplines are known to
exist in this world. All of these can be classified into the three major types
- prana yoga, mantra yoga and dhyana yoga. Interestingly the most common and
challenging hindrances in the successful practice of any Sadhana or spiritual
experiment of yoga can also be classified into three parent groups viz, Lobha
(greed), moha (selfish attitude and possessive attachments) and ahamkara
(egotism). Moreover, the essential virtues which help the individual self
struggle against these internal enemies also fall under three major categories
- sahasa (courage), samkalpa and samvedana …….
The methods of mantra
vijnana help refine, by sonic effects, the state and functioning of the gross
body or any kind of material that exists physically. The mode of utilization
and the performance of these methods depends upon three major factors - (1) the
structure of mantra in terms of the configuration of syllables and vowels i.e.
, the sonic pattern of the mantra; (2) the overall character and personality of
the sadhaka, and (3) the faith of the sadhaka in the mantra by which the power
of mantra amplifies and penetrates the innermost energy centers of the sadhaka.
The Vedic Mantras
were originally created and compiled by the risis who were spiritual yogis and
sages of the science of Sabda. Therefore, the coding of the sonic patterns in
these mantras is perfect with respect to the impact of Sabda. Many a times, the
realization of the syllables for subtle sounds (nada) in the etheric ocean had
occurred to the risis through an afflatus or intuition in their intrinsic
inspirations or the mantras were just 'heard' by them in the state of trance.
This is the reason why most of these mantras are known as -Surti (heard) or as
- 'conveyed by the Akasa Vani - the cosmic voice' ……… The Gayatri Mahamantra,
Kalma, Sarifa, Bapatisma, namomkara, and the syllable Hum in the Manipada in
different religious scriptures are examples of such self-generated eternal
mantras or divine messages.
