Guest guest Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Nirguna Mantra "OM" :- Mantras by japa meditation pass from the verbal level through the mental and telepathic states, finally on to pure thought energy. Of all languages, Sanskrit most closely approaches telepathic language because of its affinity to the fifty primeval sounds thus the most direct way to approach the transcendental state. As saguna Mantras have form, nirguna Mantras are without form. There are no deities or personalized aspects of God to be invoked. Nirguna Mantra "OM' consists of three letters: A, U and M. It signifies the three states of consciousness and all of existence & beyond - "A" The physical plane / waking state, occurs from the navel so its vibrations benefits problems related to the stomach. "U" The mental plane / dreaming state, occurs in the chest so its vibrations benefits problems related to the chest. "M" The deep sleep state, occurs in the brain so its vibrations benefits problems related to the head. OM contains nada and bindu. Nada is the prolonged vowel sound and bindu is the humming sound, made with closed lips, with which the Mantra ends. The Om chant should have the resounding sound of a bell (aaooommm). Correctly pronounced, the sound of A proceeds from the navel with a deep and harmonious vibration, and gradually manifests itself at the upper part of the nostrils. The larynx and palate are the sounding boards; no part of the tongue or palate is touched. As the U is pronounced, the sound rolls from the root of the tongue to the end of the sounding board of the mouth. M is the last sound, and is produced by closing the lips and not the teeth. It will have a certain effect upon the nervous system, and will benefit the psyche. Pronounced correctly, it arouses and transforms every atom in the physical body, setting up new vibrations and awakening dormant physical and mental powers. Japa meditation on OM has a tremendous influence on the mind. By holding the hands over the ears and intoning it, one can experience its vibrations on a rudimentary physical level. For any Advancement in Life we have to Accept some Restrictive Disciplines. A River is bound by the Banks thus it Flows Forward, A Tree is bound to the Earth thus it Grows Upwards, The Strings of a Sitar are bound to the Instrument & thus Music is produced.
