Mantras for Change

YOGI ASHWINI.


In all the thousands of years of human existence, had pollution ever reached such a high level so as to make the environment unfit for living beings? In none of the previous Yugs have so many diseases manifested and plagued mankind. The mind is perhaps the most powerful tool, in all this. In fact, contamination first manifests in the mind as a selfish thought which, in turn, permeates into the whole society creating distrust and greed, making natural resources scarce and hazardous.
Increasing greed and self-centeredness have caused deforestation and strain on our non-renewable resources. And when you add to this the gross misuse of ancient mantras and practices, it only increases environmental pollution.
The entire creation emerged from just one sound - ‘OM’. Every sound in the creation effects a change in the physical body which might be positive (sur) or negative (asur).
A mantra is a combination of sounds which is chanted by the siddh of the mantra to manifest a desired energy in the physical world. Every sound of the mantra should be shudh (lucid) and the crests and troughs in a mantra should be strictly adhered to with complete reverence. Even the simple chant of ‘OM’ essentially has three sounds, representing the trinity, Brahma Vishnu and Shiva, corresponding to the three forces -Creation, Preservation and Transformation. These three are active in the physical as, ‘aaaa’ (as in ahem), `oooo’, (as in ouch) and `mmmm’ as the sound of the male bee. Chanting these three sounds in succession maintaining awareness of the lower body during ‘aaa’, the middle body during ‘ooo’ and head during ‘mmm’ has the direct effect of balancing the vibrations of the individual cells in the body.
There are several sub-sounds within these which range from a shrill to a whisper and even to silence - which is the most powerful when heard. Each sound signifies a certain energy and so one has to be extremely cautious while chanting mantras. Incorrect chanting can have disastrous effects while chanting of the right mantra has immediate positive results, not only changing our environment but also our body.

Purify your body, soul and home by playing these rare ancient vedic chants in the Living Master’s own voice. - http://www.dhyanfoundation.com/ancientvedicchants.php

difference between ‘meditation’ and dhyan?

"The difference between meditation and dhyan is that between shoonya (this is not to be confused with shoonyata, here it refers literally to zero) and poorna . Dhyan is state of complete awareness-inside and outside- it is a Poorna state, whereas meditation is a big zero. In meditation what a person does is he/she thinks of a certain thing and therefore it is basically no better than day dreaming, where as in dhyan you are aware of everything .Swami Satyananand Paramhans (Bihar School of Yog) described meditation as a ‘moodh ’ state or a lower state. Now a days, the subject of yog and tantra have been totally misrepresented. I was watching a programme on a ‘spiritual’ channel and there I saw a very elderly woman sharing her thoughts on ‘spirituality’. So I thought let me listen into what she has to say. After her discourse she made the viewers do dhyan and sat herself in dhyan as well. When it was over, she came out with some sort of jerk in her body. Anybody who knows the st...

'Vairagya'

We all know that we come in this world alone and go back alone. We will not be accompanied by anyone, no matter how close or dear we are to them, or they to us. Pause a minute and think: A majority of our problems stem from our near and dear ones. That is, relatives, immediate family, enemies and friends, not from someone unknown. You will also find that the rootcause of arguments, fights, emotional turmoil, congestions, broken relationships and business losses are also these very people. So it is safe to conclude that for the greater part of our lives we get troubled, not by absolute strangers but by people who are known to us. Your relationship with every individual is a result of one basic principle — as you sow so shall you get. It is a mere give and take. This give and take is a payback of our karma from our previous births and from this lifetime. You get associated with people because they need something from you and you need something from them too. Without any level of dependen...

THE YOG OF TIME TRAVEL

Time travel has remained one of the most intriguing subjects for physicists of all times. Scientists have spent their lives racking their brains on how to make it possible, yet as per modern sciences it remains a dream. On the other hand, the Vedic rishis had already decoded the mystery of time. Time, as per the Vedic rishis, is nothing but the distance between two thoughts. That is why in the state of dhyan, time does not exist as at that point thoughts cease to exist. The higher the state of evolution or stillness, slower is the passage of time for that being. It is said that in a blink of Lord Brahma’s eye a yuga passes by, and a blink of Lord Vishnu’s eye sees a mahayug pass by. Through yogic practices like Sanatan Kriya , one is able to still ones thoughts and hence become independent of time. The yogi can then travel in time — go forward or backward. Travelling in time, in fact, is widely used in yog for the purpose of evolution and for aiding the creation. Yogis visit past liv...
