Guest guest Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 Namaste Sir, Both are ok. But, in my view, the best way to chant is to chant mentally. When some people chant mentally, there is subtle movement of muscles in the throat. If you can chant in the mind with complete silence, i.e. with NO movement of any internal [physical] body part, it is the best. In fact, if you attempt that, you will realize that your focus on the mantra has to be very high to achieve the above. When you say a mantra loud, mind can be thinking of something else while the throat and lips say something. In order to say something mentally without any movement, however, your focus has to be much higher. It just forces a higher level of focus. If you attempt the above, it is difficult in the beginning to avoid occasional movement of muscles in the throat. If you practice more, you will be able to say without any movement. Secondly, if you can also avoid the movement of other physical body parts (not involved with sound production) such as hands, legs, head etc, it can result in a more productive meditation session. Krishito naasti durbhiksham. When it comes to spiritual sadhana, there is nothing like effort. One just needs to put more and more effort and keep trying without giving up.
