The risis were
experts of mantrika science and were therefore endowed with supernatural
talents and powers. They could apply thy powers in awakening the divinity in
all human beings and had thereby succeeded in erecting a heavenly era on this
earth in the Vedic Age. That 'Age of Truth' could be revived today by the
foresighted and constructive commingling of the yantrika and the mantrika
sciences…..
The purpose and goals
of the developments of the yantrika science would be most beneficial if
controlled and guided by the basic principle of the mantrika science - which
emphasizes on sraddha and hence upon the cultivation of moral values, integrity
of character and deeds, altruist service with sacred sentiments of love and
compassion….., etc.
The modern savants of
spiritual sciences should also eliminate the ambiguous interpretations of the
ancient scriptures, prejudices, superstitions and the rigid shielding of
religious barriers. They should come forward to investigate and propagate the
principles and findings of the mantra vijnana with a real scientific spirit as
adopted by the researchers of the yantra vijnana.
The modern (yantrika)
scientists - especially the neurosurgeons and physicists may, by detailed study
and analysis of the mantrika science, plan appropriate experiments - to
realize, attract and use certain streams of subtle energies and powers from the
hidden centers of the human brain. Search for the corresponding cosmic energy
fields via through study of the scriptures would complement this research.
However, in such experiments of the yantrika science one ought to take care of
designing cost effective, non-invasive and eco0friengly experiments. This would
involve truly original and innovative acumen of the great scientific minds of
our times.
The relation of the
mantrika science with the yantrika science is evident with respect to the
science of sound. The importance of the japa of mantras can now be analyzed to
some extent by the advanced techniques and devices such as - the recorders for
multi-phased tonographs, spectrographs and wavelets, etc. Dr. Lawrence Castro's
invention of spectrograph has made it possible to study the sonic patterns of
individual voices under different psychological and environmental (external ambience)
conditions. Because of its widespread applications in acoustics, the Sonic Gaze
machine (of the General Motors Co.) for smoothening of sound waves has gained
as much popularity as the milk-homogenizing system developed by the MF Goodrich
Company. The products of lowa state college and the Ultrasonic Corporation are
significant in terms of - large scale scientific applications and research on
ultra sound…….
As discussed earlier,
the process of mantra japa, when performed as a yoga, makes intensive and focused
use of the power of Sabda (indwelling in the vani and consciousness of the sadhaka and in the cosmic expansion).
It energizes the specific sound waves (generated by the japa) so that the
latter could expand and reach the corresponding cosmic center. The sadhanas of
japa and dhyana provide a majestic combination of the basic Nada Yoga sadhanas
that focus upon sonic vibrations and the Bindu Yoga sadhanas that aim at deep
mental concentration…….
The japa and dhyana
sadhanas constitute important experiments in mantra vijnana (mantrika science).
Adept performance of these affects the subtlest as well as the cosmic
components /elements of Nature. This is why the mantras are regarded to be so
powerful (e.g. in the following quote from the Ram Charita Manasa) that even
the thy powers of the trinity Gods Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva cannot disobey
them……
Mantra Param Laghu
Jasu Basa, Vidhi Harihara Sura Sarva
Mahamantra Gajaraja
Kahu, Basa Kar Ankusa Kharva
