Effect Of The Mantra
A teaching session on the power and practice of mantra.
"Your one sentence can hurt millions of hearts. And one sentence can make millions of hearts happy, healthy, and joyful."
"Guru Mantra is practiced, first of all, to improve, develop, and achieve our goal of life: self-realization. Guru Mantra harmonizes and brings peace to the body, to the mind, and to the consciousness."
A teacher from the Śrī Mahāprabhū Dīp Satsaṅg Foundation explains the ancient science of mantra, describing it as a researched sound that circulates through one's entire being. He details how a spoken word is filtered by the intellect and heart, emphasizing the profound responsibility of speech. The talk covers the origin of mantras from the ṛṣis (sages), their role in astrology and personal practice, and the necessity of discipline. A parable about a king, a stolen mango, and mantra siddhi (power) illustrates the importance of the student-teacher relationship. The session concludes with a participatory experiment where attendees chant "Oṁ Tryambhakaṁ" to feel the vibration in different brain centers.
