The power of Mantra

[Guest guest]

My dear friends and like minded persons

 

The power of “Mantra’ is known to most of us and we too know how the great sages

of Himalayan ranges designed these mantras for the benefit of all of us and for

generations. I am reproducing a text of a recent research study, which is

underlined and which may be quite interesting to most of you. I have OFFERED

MYSELF FOR A AIR TIGHT GLASS CHAMBER TEST – may be little life risking, where I

expressed my desire to chant a few quite deep mantra syllables where eight to

nine alphabets are used as only letter. Perhaps if they accept my proposal a

new strategic point remains uncurtained for the benefit of the society where a

few millions will take advantage of the saintly research of the Great Saints of

Indian Origin. Let us See.

 

Latest Research Shows How Mantrams Can Even Tackle Post-traumatic Stress

Disorder Repeating chanting of the mantram can help control the symptoms of

post-traumatic stress disorder, have a calming effect in traffic and even ease

the boredom of exercise according to a recent study.

 

83 per cent of veterans and hospital staff surveyed after a five-week mantram

course told researchers from the US Department of Veterans Affairs that they

found the technique -- which involves silently and continuously repeating

calming words or phrases throughout the day - useful on a number of occasions.

 

Just under a quarter of these occasions (24 per cent) related to traffic and

work-related stress, 13 per cent to insomnia and 12 per cent to unwanted

thoughts. More than half (51 per cent) related to emotional situations.

 

" Repeating the mantram seemed to stop post-traumatic stress disorder-type

dreams that had occurred for 10 to 11 years " said a former veteran and one of

the 66 people taking part in the survey. " I have racing thoughts. I think about

a ton of things -- what I'm going to do about this and what I'm going to do

about that -- and then I start the mantram and it helps " added another.

 

A third found that using a mantram had an unexpectedly healthy side effect,

commenting: " I use it sometimes when I'm on the treadmill at the GYM When I'm

wishing that the time would go a little faster. And I'll just start using my

mantram and then I forget about it and it helps me exercise a little longer. "

 

" The people taking part in the study found that silently repeating a specific

word or phrase helped them to handle a number of difficult situations " explains

lead researcher. Researchers deliberately chose two highly stressed groups to

take part in the study. " Veterans are well known to have many chronic physical

and mental health symptoms that interfere with their quality of life and their

ability to live normal everyday lives. Similarly, hospital employees have high

levels of job stress, leading to decreased job satisfaction and subsequent

increases in healthcare costs " they explained.

 

The research Scientists said " using a word that embodies spirituality helps to

initiate the relaxation response and centeredness. " " People taking part in our

study were encouraged to use the mantram during ordinary and relaxing times, so

that they associated it with a calming effect when they needed to use it during

times of turmoil " they explained. Most of the volunteers from southern

California who took part chose words or phrases that reflected their religious

beliefs. People without specific beliefs chose other soothing phrases. 29 of

the 30 veterans were male, with an average age of 63. Seven had been diagnosed

with a psychiatric disorder and six suffered from post-traumatic stress

disorder. 31 of the 36 hospital staff were female with an average age of 50 and

two had a psychiatric diagnosis.

 

" Mantram repetition may be useful in diverse modern populations for managing a

variety of internal emotional states that sometimes appear endemic to

technological society, such as anger, frustration and impatience "

I HOPE IF THIS RESEARCH IS ACCEPTED AND MY EXPERIMENTS, IF PERMITTED BY THE

SCIENTISTS, ARE POSITIVELY BROUGHT OUT OF THE LAB, PERHAPS WE WILL BE HELPING A

FEW MILLIONS THROUGH THIS NEW “Medicine Free” technique.

 

I am however permitted to work on this by my Great Master of Himalayan ranges,

in case I try to support the LESS FORTUNATE IN THE SOCIETY and incidentally I

WORK ONLY WITH THE SOLE AIM.

 

I am sorry; this paper has gone to a length of two pages against our principle

of writing only one page. This is so on account of my ambition to cover the

entire subject only in one mail at a stretch though it causes little

inconvenience to the reader.

 

Yours affly
