35. Sama Gana: Chanting of Vedic Mantras


The unlimited expansion of the Universe and the ever evolving Nature are described in the Nepalese scriptures as the expressions of thy will. the omnipresent reflections of thee could be felt only through the deeper depths of the inner self. We, like the other being are expressions of the infinite impulse of eternal consciousness but recognize our existence as individual self in a closed domain of our own intrinsic, inherent and self-created sentiments.
The energy waves of a magnetic or electrical force always complete their 'circuits' in the respective energy fields. The same is true of the subliminal currents of emotions and sentiments. the nature and the strength of what we receive from the people around - as their reactions, support or emotional intimacy towards us, or from the omnipresent realms of the Supreme Consciousness - in the form of afflatus, inspirations or intrinsic urge……, depends upon what we transmit in the subtle domains of sentiments. The great risis had understood this sublime science of emotions through depths and had also attained the spiritual power to induce refinement of the subtle world of consciousness and sentiments. Their collective endeavors are said to have reduced pious sentiments in all the beings and thus enabled the descent of a divine era in the Vedic Age.
Some distinguished psychologists of the modern times have focused their research on the latent effects of emotions. The series of experiments conducted by Dr. Laurence D. Wallace are notable in this context. Different samples of people suffering from depression, tension or anxiety were selected in some of these experiments. The subjects were trained to feel that they are living in an emotionally energized field of peace and happiness, which is penetrating their minds to induce similar effects…. The subjects, due to their accumulated negative sentiments of jealous, ego, impatience etc, found it difficult initially to concentrate on positive thoughts and feelings….. However, by receiving the adept guidance and support from the Doctor, they began to enjoy the experiments after a few sittings. Almost all of the subjects (in the random samples of sizes around fifty each) responded positively at the end. Their attitude and feelings towards themselves and the circumstances of life had improved significantly within a year. They began to enjoy the nectar of the same life, which, they once wanted to be relieved of…….
This sequence of successful experiments was extended in a new direction when Dr. Wallace organized a series of 'goodwill meetings' of a group of people, who possessed strong willpower and inner urge for altruist service and welfare of all. These special experiments were organized in different parts of the state. During each experiment, all the members of the group collectively endeavored to focus their thoughts upon the soothing feeling that their serene sentiments of love and peace are spreading in the surroundings and purifying the ambiance. Surprisingly, the systematic and statistically justified surveys conducted in the corresponding localities showed that such experiments did result in influencing the surrounding areas in terms of reduction in the rates of crimes and suicides.

The above kind of experiments may appear to be crude in terms of through scientific standards and may stand as naïve and negligible vis-à-vis the spiritual experiments conducted by the risis. Nevertheless, they mark a good beginning and generate the hope that the use of the natural power of emotions would be studied more rigorously and applied for the betterment of life in the years to come.
