Inconversation : The effects of mantra

[Guest guest]

Mr_taboosingh: Why do we need to recite the Mantras properly?

 

Another asked : How does Mantras brings about the state of harmony

bewteen the whole body and mind?

 

Nora : This is what I think happen, the mantras are the sound that

once you recite it different mantras emitting different vibrations,

each vibration in return stimulate the body to cause another chain

reaction which is within our body itself the very energy that is

lying "sleeping" are suddenly been awaken and these energy suddenly

began to "wake" up and say "hey something is going on now", "I am

awake again", "okay who is this person who woke me up!" and suddenly

this "energy" began to take its shape and recognizes the person. From

what I see is that there is always the light within us but with

mantras and the nyaasa is like the whole room being switch on and you

are able to see everything around you. I am not sure I am making

sense, but this is what I think happen.

 

Devi_bhakta: Yes, that is basic -- it is in us. We are not "getting"

anything new, but rather accessing something as old as time. It's

already flowing through us; it is our essence. The think is to "know"

that; not just intellectually, but to feel it and accept it entirely.

Then you are a conscious part of the flow, and you can access it all

as easily as you access your own physical mind I think pronunciation

is important the effect is there no matter what but the nyasas seem

to speed the process. It is like a car can run even if you give it

bad gas and it needs a tune up --- BUT if you give it good gas and

fine-tine its engine, it can race. I think it is vibration

 

Coolthurber : oh! I believe the intention is more important, the

intention behind the mantra and the bonding that one has with the

supreme. There is a reason for everything and so there is a reason

for the mantra.

 

Nora: Kochu said not "awaken" but stirred. I need to ask further

what he meant by stirred.

 

Devi_bhakta: it's like acupuncture or chiropractic -- it's perfected

through centuries of trial and error. Well, stirred means like a

light prodding -- ashwini is asleep and comfortable, but you are

starting to lightly tap and prod her, saying "Come on, it's time to

wake up." So she is not yet awake, but she is beginning to stir.

And

if you keep tapping and prodding, even so lightly and gently, she

will awaken fully quite soon

 

Nora: I thought more of like the Churning of the ocean. When the

ocean being churn, a lot of things came out of it.

 

Devi_bhakta: I think churning is a similar but different process.

When you churn milk, it becomes butter and this corresponds to the

tattvas -- creation becomes heavier as it devolves

 

Nora: When you stir, the sugar dissolves too.

 

Devi_bhakta: Right -- there is no signs of the sugar, but still the

evidence that it is there is you are still able to taste it. But I

don't think he meant this kind of stirring; in the sense he was

speaking of is the movement of a human body that is asleep but moving

toward awakening
