ABSTRACT

Scientific chanting of Mantras is a scientific tool of inducing certain vibrations within oneself to channelize the cosmic energy through our bodies and maximize our potential and expand possibilities. Mantra Chanting is the way of direct contact with GOD through the modes of vibration in one particular mode of spiritual practice or sadhana, is done through Mantra Japa. The regular practitioner of Mantra Chanting performs the journey towards peace, happiness, bliss, and self-realization. This Mantra Siddhi is not achieved by mere rote learning or repetition of the Mantra and this is the reason why those who practice a Mantra for years get badly disappointed. At first they don't get any fruit and if somehow they get something, it is very negligible and half-incomplete. Unscientific Mantra Chanting is responsible for this situation none of anyone, but the seeker himself. There is also a need for due inclusion of purity. One can not achieve the fruitful result in Mantra Sadhana except purity. If everything is done correctly, then it is mandatory for the Mantra to be proven. Mantra being proven means that the powers of the mantra become active in the consciousness of the seeker. Chandas (Chanting style) play key role for more effect. Physical and psychological factors facilitate action of these Mantras only, if the Mantras are recited properly. Mantras that proper chanting of these Mantras gives several physical, psychological and spiritual benefits to the individual. Sound (Nad) is the basic component of creation and is based on the sciences of Music and Mantra. The significance of Chhandas is – Chhandas guard the meanings of Ved Mantra. Only if the Mantras are recited properly, the meaning is conveyed correctly and effectively. Moreover because of Chhandas the Mantra becomes pleasant for listening, thus gratifying Manas (mind). Therefore, for the fullest benefit of Mantra, Chhandas play crucial role.
