Immediate and
necessary indication of the success of a mantra Sadhana is the refinement,
improvement and illumination of the sadhaka's overall personality and his
deeds. The proper pronunciation of the mantra(s) under prescribed disciplines,
and the spiritual level, faith and sincerity of the sadhaka are essential
conditions for accomplishing a japa Sadhana. The sonorous vibrations produced
by a mantra-japa generates sonic waves that could reach any desired place in
the universe at a pace faster than the radio waves and could transmit the
signals of Sabda at the focused cosmic centers.
Different examples
cited earlier - such as, the experiments (e.g. those conducted by some
scientists in Canada) on using sonic power to drive a car; or the
demonstrations (e.g. those presented by a popular singer, Mrs. Watts) on
transforming the nature/state of matter by music……, indicate that - "it
might also be possible one day to capture and study some effects of mantra-japa
in the modern scientific laboratories".
In the third kandika
(part) of the Gayatri Upanishad, Maharshi Maitraiya is cited to have asked
Acharya Maudgalya about the relationship between the mana (conscious and inner
minds) and the vak (absolutely refined voice). The reply is quoted there ad
"Mana
is Savitri (the physical power of Gayatri). Vak subtly indwells there, where
mana is present (with full concentration). And, wherever vak is present mana
exists there (in its purest experience). These are like two mutually
complimentary and coupled halves (of a single entity)."
Our visual
(materially existing) world is a manifestation of the power of the sun. this
world and the gamut of Nature's creation would not have existed (as they do
till date) without the energy of the sun. Nothing that savita and savitri
represent the eternal source of the power of the sun and the manifestation of
nature, the above statement would imply the following. "As
the movements of the planets are driven by the grand cosmic sun through its own
motion, similarly, the micro-subtler events could be regulated by the mind by
setting it in a consistent 'motion' under constant amplitude and tune of a
mantra japa".
The demonstrations
presented by Mrs. Hags in front of reputed personalities like Lord Lieten are
illustrative examples of the above principle. In these experiments, Mrs. Hugs
was able to produce (crave on the mediums like sand) visual images of trees,
birds, animals, geometrical figures….. etc simply by her mental concentration
during her musical performances. Madame Lang of France had created visible
pictures of Jesus Christ and Notredame
by the effect of her devotional songs in special classical tures. The demonstrative
performances of two Italian women who played musical tunes - based on a raca of
the Sama Veda - on Sitar had similarly shown significant impact of music (a
creation of Nada) upon human psychology. Pt. Bhagavan Das Awasthi has described
many such incidents in detail in a special issue (on Sadhana) of a Hindi
magazine named Kalyana.
The incidents of
above kind provide evidential examples of the principles cited in the Nepalese
scriptures of Mantra Vijnana. Which indicate that - every atomic (and even subtler)
form of the elements of Nature can be created, converted or combined with other
particles via the coherent conjunction of mental concentration (consciousness)
and sound (vak) in the mantra japa to give rise to any desired form of energy
or matter……
In the present times of scientific development of acoustics when a large
number of ultrasonic and infrasonic applications in medicine and technology
have become easily accessible, the mantra vijnana should also be investigated.
Especially for positive and creative applications in mantra cikitsa as an
effective mode of treatment and in more important domains of human life - viz.,
those related with the vigourous progress of mind, righteous intellect and
arousal of the divine sentiments, which are essential for a brighter and
happier future of mankind.
