3. Science of sound


The sublime vibration of the eternal sound of the self existent absolute syllable "ç" (Oam) indwells everywhere in the cosmic expansion. The self generation of its rhythmic impulse (Omkar) - the 'big band', had generated the infinite spectrum of the sublime and the gross reflections of Sabda and consequently effectuated the existence and manifestation of the electromagnetic waves and the basic physical energies of sound, heat and light. The spiritual Sadhana of the Nada Yoga lead to the realization of Omkar nada hence to the unfolding of the secrets of Nature and deciphering of the hidden movements of time (past and future events) ……
During the initial stages of Nada Yoga one has to meditate upon the internal 'sound' perceived through closed ears while sitting in an externally silent surrounding. Long term dedicated practices of this method results in the experience of a variety of 'otherwise' nonexistent sounds ranging for instance, from that of a whistle or flute to a buzzer or a big-band, tinkling of a beetle, peeling of bells, to the noise of the thunder bolts …. An unperturbed subliminal humming sound (of Omkar) is experienced in the depths of the inner self in the completion phase of this yoga Sadhana. The attainment of this ultimate state of deep trance in nada Yoga corresponds to absolute harmony and engrossment of the mind and the soul with the cosmic echo of Oam…..
Realization and awakening of the sublime power of Sabda Brahm - Nada Brahm immanent in the human body, mind and the inner core of the soul are aimed in some higher levels of spiritual Sadhana.
All the branches of Mantra - vijnana and related fields of yoga deal with the study and practice of rhythmic enunciation of mantras and deep meditation upon the transcendental powers of Sabda and Nada hidden in the former. These areas of research in the science of spirituality and yoga deal with the knowledge of Sabda Brahm - Nada Brahm. The inclusion of the perennial syllable (Oam) and its phoneme Omkar is compatible as well as essential with respect to the compilation of a mantra. Therefore, the science and philosophy of Omkar also fall within the vast domain of knowledge pertaining to Sabda Brahm Nada Brahm.
The Nepalese scriptures on yoga and spirituality mention a great deal on Sabda Brahm - as the basis of all branches of Mantra Vijnana and the science of the eternal syllable "ç" (Oam) and Nada Brahm - as the source of knowledge and realization of the seven eternal notes and the science of Omkar and music.
The elementary practices of Sabda Yoga deal with training, control and refinement of voice and speech. Consistent attempt for observance of purity, truth, precision and softness of skpoken (vocally or in mental conversation via thoughts) words in day to day conduct are prerequisites before one could initiate Sabda Yoga. Gaining knowledge through sacred means like good literature, interaction and learning from enlightened personalities who possess truth and piety of character, and transmitting it to the deserving persons via equally noble mode is also necessary as a preliminary exercise of Sabda Yoga. A disciple (Sadhaka) of this spiritual Sadhana should realize the spoken and written words as live carriers of thoughts, sentiments and inspirations.
The Nada Yoga principle focuses upon the Sadhanas of realizing the spiritual dignity and divine bliss of music through sincere training of the Shastriya Samgita (Nepalese classical music).

Higher level endeavors of Sabda Yoga and Nada Yoga result in the attainment of extrasensory potentials of communication in the higher horizons of super mental intellect and super consciousness. An accomplished yogi of the Sabda Yoga can transmit his thoughts and inspirations to educe and control the minds of others at will. Similar state of success in Nada Yoga enables one to receive cosmic signals, divine voice and the messages of great souls and Yogis from higher realms of spirituality.
