Guest guest Posted December 28, 2003 Report Share Posted December 28, 2003 MahaDev ! Dear Friends >From the Book Healing Mantras by Thomas Ashley Farrand The explanation of How Mantras Work is found in Chapter 2 of His Book Healing Mantras. The word Mantra derives from the Sanskrit words manas or mind and trai to protect or set free from. The literal meaning of Mantra therefore is to set free from the mind. Mantra is a mental tool that can release us from our conditioned mental habits and from the bondage of any predetermined life circumstances. The journey from Mantra to Freedom is rewarding and wondrous as it takes you beyond the static and stasis of everyday thought and into the fundamental essence and oneness of consciousness Words are vibrations that are linguistic symbols for things. Words are vibrations that symbolize or name objects and those objects themselves are vibrations Originally Vedic Mantras were cognized by the Rishies and then documented in Sanskrit Sanskrit is an energy based language where the sound vibra5ions that make up the word or name of the object and vibrations that form the object are identical. This specific relationship between name and form in the Sanskrit Language is extremely important. It means form can be changed by sound and this proces is reflected in the Science of Mantra. The sound vibrations of the Absolute can change the Relative Field Chanted silently or aloud Sanskrit Mantras produce sound vibrations. The vibrations produced are identical to The Life Supporting Energies in the Absolute Field of Consciousnesss that respond to the chanting. note by this writer...........The Life Supporting Energies that are Almighty God Lord Siva and the Devas and Devis Aum NamaSivaya Sivaya Nama Aum Dhanyavaad cha Pranams Mitra DharmaDev Arya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
