Mantras- The magic of sound
Hinduism and budhism focus a lot on chanting mantras and hymns in a sing song pattern. These mantras and hymns are odes to gods and goddesses that these religions have. But the practical science behind the continuous chanting of mantras is VIBRATION.
Every living thing and non living thing resonates at a certain frequency of vibration. This is the truth about all matter. Matter transcends its natural state to go into a different state altogether only by absorbing energy and vibrating at a higher frequency. The idea behind chanting mantras is the same.
AUM is a hindu spiritual word which is said to have all the vibrations of the universe. It is a carrier entity and obviously more than just a word or a symbol. When we say AUM with all its sound totality, it produces a strong vibration which spreads all across the atmosphere. Depending upon the type of thoughts we have and the mental set and setting, its frequency can be a lot stronger or weaker.
Here, allow me to introduce the concept of BIJA MANTRA.
Each bija mantra is associated with a particular CHAKRA. Think of Chakras as gates of energy inside your body. Like the lymphic system, this Chakra system is independent and surrounds each organ of our body. As every gate in the world, Chakra gates have a key! The key is known as BIJA MANTRA. When we pronounce a particular bija mantra in all its totality, we unlock chakra gates. When I say totality, I mean vibration. Not just saying, but feeling the word throughout the body. Its only a moment of realization which can truly tell us a lot about these gates and our human Psyche to be more specific! Practice is the only true secret behind Chakra and Mandala meditation.
