- What is Mantra ?
Speech is creative. It creates forms of emotion, mental images and impulses of action. Mantra is a word of power born out of the secret depth of our being where it has been brooded upon by a deeper consciousness than the mental, framed in the heart and not constructed by the intellect, held in the mind, again concentrated on by the waking mental consciousness and then thrown out silently or vocally- the silent word is perhaps held to be more potent than the spoken- precisely for the work of creation. The mantra cannot only create new subjective states in ourselves, alter our physical being, reveal knowledge and faculties we did not possess earlier. It can also produce similar vibrations in the mental and vital atmosphere which result in effects, in actions and even in the production of material forms on the physical plan.
Use has to be made of some mental means or support by which the mind, accustomed to run about from object to object, shell get fixed on the idea of the divine. It is usually a name or a form or a mantra by which the thought can be fixed in the sole knowledge or adoration of the Lord. By this concentration on the idea the mind enters from the idea into its reality, into which it sink silenty, absorbed, unified.
Those who discuss / argue on Mantra science mainly ask show some miracle. In fact to-day man has become so fast that he wants to grow seed on his hand.
Mantra’s concentration is basically is word which is the base like seed, it grows slowly and become large and large. There is no wonder if word nature might create special changes in our life.
This world was created with Panch Bhuta पञ्च भूत i.e. Earth, Water, Fire, sky, and air. Modern Science also believes this. Our Sages & Saints also believe same. On this Panch Bhuta our language also developed and progresses in accordance with science. Language has got five (Varg वर्ग ) Their pronunciation is produced by five organs. (कंठ , तालू , मूर्धा , दंत , and ओष्ठ , each has got its own importance/ recognition, but one element mix with other very easily. Same way each word from different (वर्ग ) can be spoken with each other and do not loose their impression like the word made with (हंकार , हस्ती , हस्त सिंह , महान ) etc. All have (हंकार ) (हा ) is a symbol of ether. That is why the word made with ( हंकार ) has attainment like sky.
What is OM ॐ ?- Om is the Mantra, the expressive sound-symbol of the Brahmn Consciousness. The function of the mantra is to create vibrations in the inner consciousness. The mantra Om opens the consciousness to the sight and feeling of the One consciousness in all material things, in the inner being and in the supra-physical worlds, in the casual plan above, and finally, in the supreme librated transcendence above all cosmic existence. The mantra is the most direct and heightened, an intense and most divinely burdened rhythmic word which embodies an intuitive and revelatory inspiration and envelops the mind with the sight and the presence of the very self, the innermost reality of things, with its truth and the divine soul forms of it, the Godheads which are born from the living Truth. It is a supreme rhythmic language which seizes hold upon all that is finite and brings into each the light and voice of its own infinite.
It is a word of power and light that comes from the over mind inspiration, or from some high plane of intuition. Its characteristics are a language that convey infinitely more than the language and is borne out of the infinite and disappears into it. It has power to convey not merely the mental, vital or physical content or indications or values of the thing uttered, but its significance and figure in some fundamental and original consciousness which is behind all these and greater.
When the mantra sinks in yoga’s ear, - Its message enters stirring the blind brain, and keeps in the dim ignorant cells its sound।
- The hearer understands a form of words, and musing on the index thought it holds।
- He strives to read it with the labouring mind, but fins bright hints, not the embodied truth।
- Then, falling silent in himself to know, he meets the deeper listening of his soul.
The words repeats itself in rhythmic strain. - Thought, vision, feeling, sense, the body’s self. Are seized unutterably and he endures.
An ecstasy and an immortal chang. - He feels wideness and becomes a powe.
- All knowledge ruses on him like a se.
- Transmuted by the white spiritual ra. He walks in naked heavens of joy and calm.
- Sees the God-face and hears the transcendent speech.
Word combination is mantra. -When we write it separately (अ -उ -म ) it is letters , when we write it combined and pronounce it becomes mantra. Every letter, which combines and creates a frequency vibration in air, is called Mantra.
The word Mantra comes from Rigveda (Rik means mantra). Mantra can be divided into “मन ” and “त्र .” ‘मन ’ refers to the mind and ‘त्र ’ is the process thus the process to control / understand the mind is the essence of Mantra.
Mantra could be single word or a whole sentence. The most widely used is ॐ or AUM. It is said that the first primordial sound produced at the time of creation was the syllable AUM hence it became the first Mantra. The sound ‘A’ starts from the vocal chords, ‘U’ from the throat and ‘M’ when the lips are closed thus completing the passage of sound in our body. As such this is the longest and the fullest vowel. AUM embraces all the sounds within it and also represents the three states of consciousness viz. The waking state and the deep sleep state.
The sound of AUM can be further broken down as ‘A’ for gross material world, which we perceive through our sense organs, ‘U’ or the subtle- your experiences, and ‘M’ stands for the un-manifest or the world of sleep. (For those who suffer from insomnia the best Mantra is humming ‘mmmmmmm). Constant chanting of AUM transcends barriers and connects us to the very source of existence or GOD.
Mantra is a Godly power. It raises hidden power of human. Its regular recitation will fulfill all desires. The Science of Mantra cannot be purchased of money or wealth. It does not require recognition for its truth by us. In fact this science does not require any equipment or machinery. This is only reason it has got an unfathomed depth of technique. It requires the guidance as in modern science. Also need guidance but it is in process that is why we don’t feel its necessity.
In materialistic view the Mantra Science’s importance is reduced. That is the reason the knower of the Mantra Science are not available in large. We will get many to believe that Cerodine tablet will reduce the head-ache, but hundreds of us will laugh, joke that there is such people who remove poison of snake bite, Scorpion bite or other poisonous insect by Mantras. The reason we don’t get the people or capable person everywhere, every-now and then. In this only fault of Materialistic who has degraded this science. This does not mean that there is no truth in Mantra science.
