Benefits of Chanting

[Guest guest]

Benefits of Chanting<br><br>According to

Psychology<br><br>1. While chanting is going on, no new impressions are

created in the subconscious mind. Thus, chanting the

Lord’s Name, is the best method in the waking state to

prevent the development of new impressions.<br>2. While

chanting is going on, the conscious mind does not accept

impulses from the centers (there are various centers in

the sub-conscious mind such as desire and instincts,

likes and dislikes, temperamental characteristics etc.

These centers decide man’s nature and he react as per

the impulse received from them.) of the subconscious

mind. If chanting continues for a considerable period,

impressions in these centers start reducing. <br>3. Power of

concentration increases.<br><br>According to

Spirituality<br><br>1. One is able to please the deity by chanting its name.

<br>2. By chanting some bijakshar (a letter, a group of

letters or ords with generate spiritual energy), one can

achieve control over a particular element. For instance

the tejtattva (fire element) and can acquire a

corresponding supernatural power (siddhi).<br>3. A non-action

(akarma karma): Chanting the Lord’s Name while performing

an action transforms that action into akarma karma ,

that is, action which does not add to the Sanchit

(accumulated account) Thus, if no new accounts are generated,

one can get quickly liberated from the cycles of

birth and deaths, after having undergone one’s destiny.

If one considers that accumulated account of an

individual to be 100 units at the time of birth, then in one

birth (on an average) 6 units get depleted by

undergoing destiny. Which would mean that man should be able

to attain Liberation within 16 to 17 births. But

this does not happen because, whilst one is undergoing

6 units of destiny, new accounts are simultaneously

being created by one’s Kriyman karama (wilful actions)

and the account rises by 10 units. Hence, at the time

of death, the accumulated account has 104 units

instead of 96. Consequently, an individual gets more and

more entrapped in the cycle of births and deaths. To

prevent this, our actions have to become akarma karma and

chanting the Lord’s Name is the only means. <br><br>With

Blessed Self, g1nsamp67<br><br>The cause of the

benefits of chanting is that each syllable in a sancrit

chant is keyed to one of the 7 chakras. Chanting is

similar to playing a xzylophone. Just as the hammer

strikes one of the bars of the xylophone to create a

sound, so too each syllable of the sancrit chant

activates a chakra to produce a change in

consciousness.<br><br>When you chant, those sanscrit syllables are awakening

the chakras and tuning your consciousness to them.

<br><br>With some experience in chanting, you can even feel

the chakras responding to each syllable of the

chant.<br><br>Om namah Sivaya<br><br>Omprem
