24. Power of Sound in Mantras


It is well known that the compounded magnetic effect of similar atoms (particles) gives rise to their dense collection. This clustering eventually results in the formation of mine, which gets richer by the augmentation in its power of attraction by successive increase in its repository of similar atoms (particles). Equivalently, the domain of influence of the subtle sonic waves generated by the japa of a mantra expands and becomes more powerful with the increase in the number of persons of similar spiritual levels who perform collective japa.
The amplification of the radio waves by powerful transmitters at the relay centers makes their broadcast possible across the globe. Analogously, the force of the conscious energy in the waves generated by the japa intensifies along with the increase in the faith, sincerity, strength and piety of thoughts and sentiments of the sadhaka(s).
The lack of knowledge about the spiritual dimensions of Sabda and the non-applicability of the existing scientific instruments in sensing or measuring the domains of the subtle sonic waves make it practically impossible to conduct usual laboratory-experiments in the science of mantras. this is why the subject matter of mantra vijnana is often attributed to philosophy, mythology or blind faith or its study largely remains confined to controversial or inconclusive, 'intellectual' arguments alone. The misdeeds and perversion of the medieval era in the name of spirituality have been most detrimental, as these have led to destroying and shrouding the real knowledge and widening the gap between the 'materialistic' and 'spiritual' sciences. This has severely hindered the possibility of scientific research into this branch of knowledge with an open mind.
Several examples demonstrating the power of mantras are however reported - including popularly witnessed incidents, in the modern century. For instance, it was reported a couple of decades ago, that the women magicians called Vamohas had successfully stopped and prevented the heavy rainfall for the desired number of days on a play ground during a Commonwealth sports festival in Quallalampur (Malaysia) and also on a shooting site of an American film company.
The advanced science of today has realized the power of the supersonic waves and has also conceded the limitations of the material based research with respect to a complete decipheration of the immense potential of the functioning of the human-brain and mind. This is a right time that the subtler forms of sound existing in Sabda be investigated scientifically. The mantra vijnana should be studied in the light of the fact that - this ancient science was developed by the risis who began their research by focusing on the fields of consciousness rather than matter (or perceivable entities). The intrinsic research conducted by these scientists of yore had helped them realize the eternal origin and the ultimate expansion of sound - the Sabda Brahm, in conjunction with the cosmic consciousness.

The mantras devised by the risis were not only perfect with respect to the compilation of specific sonic patterns; these creations also contained the formulae for awakening the specific nuclei of the supreme consciousness subliminally existing in the universe. Having realized all the dimensions of the eternal sound, the risis had referred it as Sabda Brahm, the omnipresent and omnipotent thy sound.
