I have come to realise such facts about mantras rituals and devotion from a young age. In my life the information about this topic has been filtered to me, a little at a time year after year and I have had to connect the dots.

Firstly: about the reasons why everybody doesn’t know about it. And why it isn’t commonly known. Read the above comments by others carefully. One says these vibrations can heal or destroy while another says why isn’t it used widely. If this can become harmful, it will only be by intention. There is a DalayLama and an osama in the world. So I ask to use caution when making this known to the world.
Simply put the power is in the intention, when using mantras and vibration.

Secondly where does the miracle come from?
Well in all my contemplations between old tales and modern reasoning, the people that where enlightened by first obtaining the mantras knew (I’m guessing because I wasn’t there) that for every bad person (ravan) that used the mantra it actually diluted its power. Made it weak, non-effective or unresponsive. So to maintain its purity they used initiation, via swami’s n gurus, to pass it down generation-by-generation making sure the people that where given the secrets of the mantras where pure in there soul and had good intentions (there’s that word again “intention”)

A documentary on national geographic some years ago spoke about the beginning of the universe. You must be wondering where is he going with this. It gets stranger but it will make since soon enough. So, in this documentary they spoke about the cosmic sound that’s always there. The sound is from the creation of the universe (big bang) if u want to hear the sound its easy, it’s the sound you get between radio stations, that static is the sound that’s interfering with the transmitting of the radio signal. If that sound is the only pure thing left behind by the miracle of creation. People have compared it to the sound of Aum. It would make sense that the sound still carries the magic of creation in it till this day.

Kind regards

im still searching for the most powerfull mantra in the world…

You associate Schumann responses and seven sounds from the vedic texts. On what basis? The wikipedia page lists five (not seven) resonant frequencies at 7.83, 14.3, 20.8, 27.3 and 33.8 Hz in the ELF (extremely low freq) spectrum.

If you had to have the number seven, here’s an alternative hypothesis: the number of big planetary objects visible to the naked eye (sun, moon, mercury, venus, mars, jupiter, saturn).

Second, there is really no correlation between alpha waves and serenity. Alpha waves have been noted with an agitated mind as well. See http://www.skepdic.com/alphawaves.html for starters.

It is time to question blind belief.

Thanks.

u can get some information about the vedas by gurudev

1. Science is now beginning to say that life can exist in many dimensions, that there is life which is so advanced that it exists only as energy – that it does not need a body to be alive. Having said that, if you now look at the Bhagavath Gita as science (not as mystical and spiritual) you may begin to understand a lot more of the knowledge that has been passed on to us. That is what science is now doing, looking at ancient texts and trying to work backwards and explain what our sages and seers have already said.

2. Remeber the “vimanas” of Mahabharat and Ramayana. Scientists have been studying them for long now, there are dedicated sections in veda too on this science. Look at a diagram of vimana in the studies that have been done on it, their shapes are remarkably similar to the thrusters of present day rockets or what the UFOs are reported to look like. Not a coincidence. My point is even the scientists have been studying them for a very long time.
3. As far as vibrations are concerned they have healing powers – our scriptures are full of information on this too. You do not necessarily have to understand Sanskrit, once you have a mantra, learn to recite from the many cds available. Beleive me it helps. The sounds were developed to soothe our bodies and mind. There is nothing mystical. Look at it as science. As you get deeper into it, many questions our answered from within.
4. As far as Sanskrit is concerned, if you know the Hindi alphabet, you can read the Sanskrit mantra with the aid of CDs. And the internet has tonnes of info on this.

This devotee is asking, “while going through some sloka book we find the words above each sloka -‘for getting out of debt problems’, ‘for getting married’, ‘to safeguard oneself from enemies’, ‘for being successful in examination’, ‘for success of trips being undertaken’ – such wordings are put up. You will find the words, ‘you stand to benefit by chanting these.’

Is it enough if I, who have been chanting Gayatri or Rama Nãm, chant only this Rama Nãma or should I do japa of some other mantra for these problems?”

This is his doubt/question. The answer for this is that Rama Nãma is the name of ‘Parabrahma’ (Brahman). That is the root mantra (‘moola mantra’), first mantra (‘ãdi mantra’) and the highest mantra. Whatever is contained in all other mantras is found in this Rama Nama itself.

Gayatri or Rama Mantra is the ‘’Base’ for all other mantras. While speaking of the glory of Rama Mantra I have said,

Considering a practical example from our day to day life.

Drinking 3-4 glasses of water everyday in empty stomach cures 20+ diseases. So does drinking 3 litres, keeps you healthy. Every one around the world knows this too. But how many of them really follow this. How do we explain this? Are we arogant or ignorant? What makes us not to beleive the science that these religions have gifted us? From being a way of life, today religions have become more commercialized.

There definetely is a lot of science involved in building temples, chanting mantras etc. Hinduism by itself is a way of life, and defines how human can live in harmony with the nature. Nature is immortal and so powerful.

What have modern science achieved over the past 200 years? Made the life more complex so that we have to rely on machines, polluted the whole planet, hole in ozone layer, global warming, el-nino, war and terror.

Regrding Mantras. Although there are several such mantras, there is a severe shortage of people who understand the more deeper, the inner science of mantras. It needs so much practice, so much dedication, so much clear mind, which in todays world, is difficult. However, the person with a sincere heart and soul can gain much wisdom then conventional people. Similarly, the mantras themselves choose the person who is capable of handling the awesome cosmic vibrations. Otherwise we would have seen bad people misusing Gods gifts, example is of fanatic militants who pose a grave danger to humanity and are a constant threat to world peace.

So, moral of it is – We do not choose who and what we our. Our destiny decides it. The mantras will gain their power, once they find the proper channel.

But – and I am sorry if this sounds silly -I can’t help wondering: shouldn’t such powerful mantras be much more extensively used by now? Shouldn’t they be common knowledge by now, especially in the part of the world where it was first discovered? Wouldn’t the proven efficacy of such sounds ensure its preservation and swift diffusion (or slow, but diffusion anyway) around the world?

I don’t see that happening. There are probably more mantra-humming people in the world right now than there were at any previous time in history… And yet, we only hear of the likes of Sai Baba. (I mean no disrespect, I don’t even know the man; but, frankly, his “miracles” doesn’t isnpire much confidence in me).

To put it bluntly: if mantras are really THAT powerful – why, then, they aren’t extensively used (at least in the part of the world that is closest to the culture where they were “discovered”)?
