Please read the below paragraph:- Arial;font-weight:bold;font-style:italic">The language of the font-style:normal">mantra font-style:italic"> is essentially Sanskrit. Earlier we have discussed why sanskrit occupies this pre-eminent position amongst all languages. Its original 'root' sources, the grammar, the phonetics, the etymology, the font-style:normal">sandhi font-style:italic">s or formation of words by conjunction all have that uniqueness not found in any other language. Please refer back to the articles 'Preparations for font-style:normal">Sadhana font-style:italic"> -Part 3" AHWAN Vol 22 August /September 2002 issue, and "Attempts to understand font-style:normal">Brahman font-style:italic">" Parts 2 and 3 AHWAN Vol 28/29 May/June 2003 issues to understand how and why not a single word, sentence or text in the font-style:normal">sruti font-style:italic">s is replaceable or interchangeable. Why you can not rewrite sruti. Why they call them font-style:normal">sukta font-style:italic">s. ( font-style:normal">Sukta font-style:italic"> simply means font-style:normal">su i.e. very well and font-style:normal">ukta font-style:italic"> i.e. expressed- something that is very well expressed or rendered to perfection, is a font-style:normal">su- ukta bold;font-style:italic"> or font-style:normal">sukta font-style:italic">. The whole effectiveness of the result or meaning it produces gets distorted if it is altered any manner whatsoever.) Arial;font-weight:bold;font-style:italic">In a mantra bold;font-style:italic">, each word is chosen with the concept that it must convey not 'just a meaning' but as a trigger to the mind to probe further, for new unfolding of knowledge. Arial;font-weight:bold;font-style:italic">If every recitation or reading of a mantra bold;font-style:italic"> does not encourage you to think and probe deeper, then its effectiveness is yet to be understood. Sanatan bold;font-style:italic"> philosophy believes that every 'being' is indeed endowed with that ultimate truth, the true knowledge, but locked up deep inside in the cave of one's inner sanctum.

The influence of this power on all around could change the way the things are. Everything around us is in a state of dynamic change under the influence of the divine power. Any additional vibration produced, which is in harmony with this divine vibration, will produce for us beneficial effects and discordant vibrations will trigger unnatural and harmful fall-outs. It is not difficult to understand that if this vibration, its power and its effects could be fully understood, potentially man could change his very existence, his character, and his destiny. The tradition of collective chanting of Vedas in organized yajnas bold;font-style:italic">, emphasizes this point. Arial;font-weight:bold;font-style:italic">Every single object in this creation, every single cell that constitutes a body, the cells of the human body, being constantly in motion all are believed to have a natural frequency of vibration.

Every object as long as it remains in harmony with this frequency of vibration remains in perfect functioning order. Certain frequencies produced or emanated externally have a positive impact on them strengthening their activity and discordant vibrations have the impact of interfering with their proper functioning.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 merely word or vibration according to Mandukya Upanishad but the linguist interpretation would stay on very academic level only . And how do you pronoiunce om then is it om,aum or aong ?? The person best know it is Shivea the rest are mere effort towards that understanding alone .My opinion have always been to yearn towards the ultimate and let Ma decide the rest.Sooner a GURU would arrive once you are ready........ If you are new there always going to be wrong books , psedou teachers and wrong methodology but at least you heart is sincere and if god do not recogniseand help you out that then I do not know what is GOD for ? Surely one day you will be in the right path for you .......................... That is why I say it all depends on your level as learner . Jai Maa!!
