mantras - John

[Guest guest]

Dear Johm,

 

I have visited the site you have refered, but I wonder

the author said two contradictory things.

 

(1) At one place he said that sound is energy and that

is the most important factor in mantra

 

(2) At another place he said that 'saying mantras

silently is the most powerful way to say them' in FAQ

section

 

I don't know how these both can be right may be author

is not clear yet.

 

This is for just convey to you that it is not good

site actually and does not have enough information.

May be CDs can be excellent.

 

regards,

 

Tushar

Dear Tushar,

 

If I might interject here. The vibrational quality of a mantra doesn't have to

be audible to be affective. In fact the more subtle the vibration, the more

powerful it is (as in silent affirmations). The author is 100% correct in what

he says :-)

 

Best Wishes,Wendy
