POWER OF MANTRA

Power of Mantras

Mantra’s has been a integral and most Dominic part of Hindu , Buddhist scriptures. Mantra in Sanskrit also means Brain Words. The power of has been well explained in the scriptures but today most of them get into conclusion saying this are pre historic or ancient superstitions without understanding the exact phenomenon of it . it is like concluding that a fruit is not tasty without eating .

Linguistically, the word mantra also in Sanskrit implies a specific structure of sonic patterns – coded in syllables and vowels, that works as an spiritual tool to liberate the mind from ignorance, illusion and evil instincts. The specific configurations of syllables and the corresponding combinations of phonemes in the mantras make the latter powerful ‘carriers’ of the cosmic energy of sound. The book presents a perspicuous introduction with analysis of multiple aspects of the physical and subliminal impact of sound and the structure of mantras. It also highlights authentic reports on scientific experiments in this direction.


Any word spoken has its own power and vibration, like for example . you meet this guy in a streets nearby he talks for a few moments at that time you may have few reaction you may feel he was impressive , inspiring or you may just listen to him and dint even get a word (shabda) he spoke, or some time you may also get headache. why do you think the above reaction may have occurred , if the word(shabda) dint have any power you might have not got any reaction , it’s the power , vibrations in the words that made you to give this reaction every human brain has a specific frequency receiving techniques , when the word has this frequencies brain will set itself for receiving it and interestingly not all frequencies have same reaction some word may make you happy some may ,make you sad .

Mantras work in the same form all the mantras has a manifested power when recited it will generate some energy . reciting means not just reading mantras, or saying it aloud to make mantras work there are certain techniques that must be performed before this technique performs the action of setting up the stage it may be some yoga posture, meditation…etc

We all can easily experience the powers of hydro, thermal, electrical and wind energies in different forms. That Mantra or shabda or any form of sound also has similar or greater impact – cannot be believed or realized so clearly. Even the visible effects of music are found to vary according to the psychology or emotional state of the subject and are therefore experienced in varied contexts and intensities The scientific investigations on the existence and properties of sound waves indicate that the effects of sound could be as physical as those of the other forms of energy. The Doppler Effect is worth mentioning in this regard. The historical breaking of a bridge due to the superimposition of the cyclic sound created by the orderly footsteps of Napoleon’s army; Falls of several huge and
stout bridges due to the synchronization of sound of noisy winds or noises of the surroundings –for instance, the falls of the Lao Bernard bridge in France in 1852 and 1871, the Ohio river’s bridge in USA in 1854 and those of its Niagara water-fall in 1864 and 1889, the bridge over Tacoma river in Washington, in 1940..., etc – are some of the well known examples of thissignificant effect.

According to acoustic experts, even the harmonious tune of a musical instrument if repeated under appropriate synchronization (in terms of frequency, amplitude, intensity and rhythm) with other musical output (e.g. the tinkling sound of the bells in the ankle-ornament of a dancer) can result in the destruction of the stage set for the musical performance. Similar destructive effect could be observed by the orderly, superimposed high-intensity audible sounds....( Eternity of Sound and the Science of Mantras page 11)

The scriptures on yoga render significant importance to Ïabda – S³dhan³, the spiritual experiment of the realization of the eternal cosmic sound, via the practices of – swara yoga, surati yoga and the mantra yoga. The science and philosophy of mantra has emerged from the in-depth knowledge of the –iÌis and their expertise in using the latent powers of Ïabda and N³da – towards fulfilling the noble purposes of global purification and uplifting at the physical as well as the spiritual levels. This is the reason why in case of every mantra, it is the pattern and strength of vibrations and energy generated by its japa and not its linguistic structure, grammar or the word-meaning that play the key role in making the mantra so effective…
