THE EFFECT OF CHANTING
Sound produces vibrations which produces electricity says science. Chanting produces light and certain forms and figures of deities are produced according to the Mantra that is chanted. We may not be aware but these forms are imprinted on our subconscious Mind. As we continue to chant the form or figure becomes brighter and brighter inside and begins to vibrate and starts to fulfill our needs or the purpose of our chanting the particular Mantra.
JAPA YOGA:
Chanting within ourselves silently with the breath is more effective. There is no wastage of human energy. The human energy without spreading outside could be transformed into Divine energy and could be deposited inside us. In this way the Though Flow subsides and eventually stops. As our thoughts become fixed on our breath, a deeper impression is created and the breath relaxes the other systems in our body. Use mala meditation beads for the best result for japa yoga.
YOGA:
The third step is to visualize the bright idol in the space between the eyebrows.
OBSERVE:
With love while being in a calm relaxed state for three minutes. The Eye-Brow observation is conditioned concentration. The flow of thought on several objects at the same time is stopped and is focused on one object only i.e. the deity or idol. This yoga will help increase the power of concentration, memory power, will power and patience.
MAHAYOGA :
Spread the light from the deity or Guru, whom you have been visualizing between your eyebrows, all over your body. As you become the illuminated deity yourself your False _I_, Ego and body consciousness is pushed out and helps you become conscious of the formless soul.
We now attain the stage of what is called Satguna Braman or Godliness with form. We also attain a balanced mind, tolerance towards others, cheerfulness, health, wealth, beauty and success in life. Be in Maha Yoga for 5-20 minutes daily. Take 3 minutes to spread out the light in the body. Be in the form of the deity for one minute, then dissolve and forget the form. To attain success in Maha Yoga it may take between 2-5 years.
