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.
