The power of Mantras

Sound, speech, and harmony possess inherent healing power. Mantras from ancient siddhas create positive vibrations affecting earth, air, fire, water, animals, and humans. Sweet words bring happiness back to the speaker, while harsh words generate lasting inner suffering. This principle extends to all life; speaking with love to plants or animals fosters their well-being. Many diseases originate from wrong food and negative thoughts like anger and jealousy, which create bodily tension. Harmony between parents and sattvic nourishment during pregnancy are crucial for health. Dietary discipline is essential; one should eat fresh foods and avoid aged products like cheese. Meal timing should align with the sun's movement, consuming different foods at breakfast, lunch, and evening. Bathing in a river's flowing water before sunrise draws upon its immense energy for purification. Human pollution and misguided experiments damage the earth and rivers. The Sanskrit language's fifty-two letters each carry specific vibrations that permeate the body and environment when spoken. Sound is the foundation of all creation.

"Speak such words which make you very happy. You make others very happy and relaxed, and it makes you also, the reflection coming back to you."

"The sound is everything. The creation took place from the sound."

First of all, yesterday, during our chanting of the Mahāmudrā Jaya Mantra, our dear boy, dear Tārā’s son, was feeling better today, and he was even having breakfast. So, it has the power and effect of the mantras. Let’s chant five times again for him with the Mahāmṛtyu Jaya Mantra. Kalyugam eva vandana mṛtyo śrītā kandhi śrīvar dhajā madhugandhi pūṣṭivar dhanā. Mṛtyoḥ śrītā dhajā maistivar dhanā. Vandana, Mṛtyu, Sema, Mṛta, are the Rūpa of the Brahma. The resonance is the Supreme, the Brahman. The words which we pronounce have great meanings. If you speak very sweet and good words to someone, you get back feedback mentally, and with the voice, the vocal cord, it comes to your or our body, mind, emotion, etc. And if someone tells a very bad word, then for days and days you are suffering, and you are angry, and within yourself creating immense hate. Therefore, it is said: Speak such words which make you very happy. You make others very happy and relaxed, and it makes you also, the reflection coming back to you, and you feel also very happy. So the mantra has a great effect. These mantras are from very ancient times, from the great saints, siddhas. They give such a voice and experiences that it has a positive effect. Effect on the earth, on the air, on the fire, on the environment, on the water, on the animals, and on the humans. So, it gives a very pleasant effect. If you can speak nicely to the plant, the plant will be very happy. I made from my side, for me, it’s a kind of experiment. So, in my room, we are sleeping. How many nights did I sleep in my room? I think I sleep more in Vārāṇasī, or in Śṛṅgerī. But anyhow, there is a beautiful plant we got from India. We call it champā. It has a beautiful smell, beautiful. The one flower is here, and the whole hall will have a very pleasant smell. But that plant was losing its leaves, and some different kinds of other creatures were coming. So always leaves come and fall down, and so our dear Mānsā Devī, she begins to give love to this plant, and spray positive, nice spray, not chemical. And when we go away, then the bhakti and līlā take care. So you can’t imagine how happy that plant is, and so big, big leaves, and it was coming, blossoming the leaves, or the flowers. So, for me, this was an experiment. So even these trees, if we take care, they will be more healthy. And that you speak to this, not only mentally. Similarly, animals also. Dogs, cats, horses, buffaloes, tigers, etc. All creatures. There are two kinds of voices from us, or words. It should come from love. Now, when we go walking in summer, there is one dog here, and this dog is there, the master is there, and this dog is coming, barking, and can bite. But if you just, with love, you let him smell your hand, the very wild dog will become a friend for you. The birds also, but they will not come close to you. They are very, very intelligent. They are not stupid, because they know if you will catch them and put them in a case. But the birds will come more to your house, your flat, or your garden. And, of course, we are giving them something to eat. Yeah, so similarly, when we come and sit on the beach of the ocean, and the sound of the water, the waves, makes us so happy, very relaxed. And such a kind of situation is a healing power. So the disease, mostly diseases, are developing in our body either from the wrong food, and second, from negative thinking. Anger, jealousy, hate, not liking someone, that creates a tension within our body. And it’s going on the muscles, then it’s going on the nerves, then, coming on the glands, then coming on the hormones, and developing in the whole body, so in certain centers, these kinds of cells in the body, they die in some glands, and that creates disease. When the mother is pregnant and she knows that she is pregnant, she begins to talk to her child, the embryo. She doesn’t think if the child will be a boy or a girl. She doesn’t care about this, but that embryo, that’s all, as your child, and that gives good feelings. At that time, the mother’s nourishment should be very sāttvic. No alcohol, no drugs, no eggs, no dead bodies, flesh, and pure food, milk. Also, cheese is not good because it’s old. The oldest you can have is the yogurt, that’s all. So milk, the butter, the curd, that’s all. So lots of problems are coming from the cheese. Of course, in the European countries, here and there, there’s a lot of milk and cheese, and because of the climates, you are freezing this and making the cheese and that. But it is not healthy, and you don’t know what you are collecting in those cheeses which you have. Maximum that they can do is make the paneer. They make milk hot, then put lemon inside, so the milk is plated, and they think it is like cheese, but that is not healthy either. So we are turning that milk into that kind of position that it is not good for our body. But still, they are somebody eating, okay, once a year. That’s all. So fresh food, fresh milk, fresh air, and fresh thoughts, there will be no disease coming. But disease begins from the mother’s body, what the mother is eating, and how the parent, the father, is behaving toward his wife. So it needs the boy and girl both, such a harmony, that you should know that you have one divine soul. You go a little back. So, it is a very... nourishment is very important. Now, there is one person who gave me one experience. Who is that person? There are two. So, one, you know... you know that Gulābjī Kothārī from India. He was here also many times, also in Jordan, you know him, and you know now what happens. He likes to have a different dress, a good material, so he comes to Vienna and he bought the shirt. And then he takes, and then he again sent back to Vienna, to the Soros and the Sagarpuri. He said, "Please, it is too little. One number more, bigger." And then they changed, and they sent back. And they said, "It’s too big." And in one year, still, they said, "Please go in that shop and change this." So one dress in two years was changing four or five times. Swamiji, please take this and give it to Sagar Puri. They have a very nice shop in Vienna. It’s called Om Namo Nārāyaṇa. The name of the shop is Om Namo Nārāyaṇa. It’s a beautiful mantra. Om, you know. Narayan is the Brahman, is the Vishnu. Om Namo Nārāyaṇāe. Namo means my salutation. So, Om, surrendering to the Supreme. So if someone is passing by and she wrote the Om Namo Nārāyaṇ, it’s already a mantra that went into their mind. So anyhow, he came to one, he had a very heavy body and a little coughing and so on. So one Āyurveda came, Dr. Ayurveda and changed his diet. I think he lost already 30 kilos and looked so much more healthy, skin and everything. The second person is in the Delhi āśram. He’s a member of our trust, and many people know him. He was very heavy, so he couldn’t sit properly. Always, he was sitting like this or leaning on the pillar. So one day, he had a problem with his heart and this and that, and so he went to the āyurvedic doctor in Delhi. The doctor said, "What you are eating is finished. Don’t eat anymore. What are you eating?" Dhal, sabjī, this, that. No, don’t eat anything. "Eat what I’m telling." So he thought, he spoke psychologically so nicely, so he said, "Okay, I will eat only this, what you tell, Āyurvedic doctor." And he came home, turned all his kitchen things, and within two months, when I came back to the Delhi ashram, he said he had already lost 25 kilos. He feels healthy and strong. He can walk up the steps, but still he’s continuing. So I would say, many of us here sitting, we should give up this eating, what we are eating. Then what should we eat? That I don’t know. Why do I have to go to the doctor? But the thing is that he said, "Do not store your food in the fridge." This is the first: no cheese, no old yogurts, and organic vegetables, etc., etc. Soup, and when he should eat, and when we should not eat. There is a body principle, and the body principle is connected with the Sun’s movements. So what we should eat in the morning, the same thing we should not eat in the evening. So the morning diet is different for the body to digest; the lunchtime, midday, is also different. You should not eat what you should eat. Eat breakfast, and not for the evenings. And similarly, also in the evening, you should not eat what you ate or what you are eating at lunchtime or breakfast time. And so, when should you eat salad, and when should you not eat the salad? So he’s really looking so good, and his blood doctor said it’s very good blood. You have the irons, you have this, you have that, everything is very good. Oh yeah, you’re easy. My God, he is as old as fun. To give it kappa is not, you know, you make one man of us is mean, dynamic, linear, so that’s why we call it, it is called the pāk śāstra. Śāstra is a book, and these books are about cooking and eating, so pāk śāstra. Pāk means cooking, and we should know how we should cook, that’s very important. And what we do now, any kind of vegetable, we shape the vegetable, and we put chili and a bit of butter and salt and this, and we say it’s good. Evening, you should not eat that kind of vegetable, and after the 11 o’clock before noon, after that, we should not eat all kinds of root vegetables, and especially what we call the mūlī, the white radish. So white radish, red radish, round one, long one, etc. So any kind of roots, vegetables, cooked or not cooked, after midday you should not eat. You can eat them half an hour before sunrise until now. And then it is changing in the whole body. There’s always something, no, Paras? Okay. Similarly, which time should we make a prayer? There are two kinds of prayers. There are early morning wake-up prayers, then prayers for breakfast time, then lunchtime and evening. These are the prayers timed to God, but these prayers are that mantra that helps our body and in our whole house, and the neighbors also. And there is also prasāda; they are making offering the prasāda. And in that prasāda, when you are or when we are chanting and there is some prasāda lying there beside, we give it on the temple. It is recharging those mantras, these prayers, what is in it. The Upanishads, in the Vedas, in the holy books, everywhere, no? Yeah. Prasāda. Yeah, so that is very important. Come to your mother. So, this is also first: know when you should bathe. That’s also. If you can bathe before sunrise, that will be the healthiest for you or for me. But we are waking up after the sunrise, and then we are getting bathing. No doubt that you are becoming ill. So, you remember we were all in the Kumbh Melā? Yes, and we went to the bathing in Kumbh Melā, Ilhābād, very early in the morning. It was cold, and this river is very cold. And our term is the first before sunrise. And when we go in the river, in the water, suddenly we feel warm, not cold. So even here in the river or in the lake, you can dip in in winter before sunrise. Don’t make the mistake of dipping in after sunrise. And when we go to the river bathing, there are also some mantras, and with some mantras we are worshipping Narmadā, Gaṅgā, Yamunā, Sarasvatī, Godāvarī, etc. The Danube is also a river, a holy river. We have here from the near, the our Kripa in a fill up, no? Yeah, the draw, my God, it was yes. The every flow of the water is a purities mean, then a visa, yes, Tista. We have also filling the water through the water pump in the bathroom, but that is not that affected. But what is in the river? There is immense energy, immense energy. So, you remember that if you have seen the Ādiguru Śaṅkarācārya’s video. Did you see that? Who saw it? Look, okay, you didn’t see the whole video? The many did not know. Who didn’t see? Please hand up. This is this evening my program, okay? I can relax. Oh, we will see the film of the Ādi Guru Śaṅkarācārya. Yes, and before him today we will see Devpurījī’s and Alakpurījī’s Himalaya video, about 35 seconds, or how many minutes? Minutes. That immense energy, knowledge, learning, many things. So, Śaṅkarācārya we saw at home as a young boy, about 10 years. Or 14 years. Wake up in the morning, take a towel, running, going to the river, dipping in the river, washing, and coming home. So the flow of water has more energy in it for our body. Yes, my dear, where we, the divine human beings, polluted our rivers. So certain rivers are like this, you can’t dip in; you may get a skin disease. Where are we going to take this, our earth? A great learned person made more damage to the earth. But the so-called best scientist destroyed this earth. Those kinds of experiments, no? We don’t need experiments. God has made an experiment, just leave. You have your wife, you need not make an experiment with her. You have your cow, you have your buffalo, you have your animals, why not? Why are you making more experiments? So as much knowledge, higher academics are down, put this all in on this earth. Such big, big rockets are there. And every country, every country of the world, they have there these bombs. And if it is like this, the whole earth will be destroyed. Humans, animals, etc. Because their knowledge, they learned what they learned too much. All the time, they were fighting body to body. All the time they said, "Then come." They had to open the chest and say, "Come." And now we are hidden somewhere and running away. That’s it. In the German language, they say "the feigling." The feigling, yeah, that’s it. They are hiding themselves, sitting here and shooting there. No, come face to face. That’s a beautiful battle. Yeah, we are all standing, sitting, and how they are coming. That is good. So many, many things we have destroyed. Many chemicals go all in our rivers, and it is going to our earth and is going into the ocean. We are all creatures, and we make dry sufferings, many diseases because of the too much. Education, what they had, because they know they have everything, but now they want to destroy different things. So study, you can read, write letters, you can talk to somebody, finished. Are you home? Get the knowledge, okay, go to the university, get the knowledge, finished. But why are you making experiments on the animals and killing them? Anyhow, my dear, so mantra, mantra is a purification. And so there is a healing through the mantra, through the sound, through the colors, through the environment. We are healing our body according to these positive things. Who knows the Gāyatrī Mantra? Oh, I am proud of my disciples. So let’s say this Gāyatrī Mantra for our own healing. And our own healing of our negative thinking. And when there is a negative, of course you have to go to the negative. Of course you should not go to the negative. Oṁ Bhūr Bhuvaḥ Svaḥ Tat Savitur Vareṇyaṁ Bhargo Devasya Dhīmahi Dhiyo Yo Naḥ Pracodayāt Mantras of the Upaniṣads. Mantras of the Upaniṣads. So, the Sanskrit language, the Sanskrit language, the alphabet or the letters of Sanskrit, are fifty-two. And each word or each alphabet has its meaning and effect on the human body. And when this pronunciation comes to the human mouth, then it spreads this vibration to other people, other creatures, other vegetation, our water and our earth, as well as in the environment, in the space. Therefore, these words, this language, each permeates our whole body and certain incarnations. Great saints have a certain center in their body, which is known as the seat of the divine. Every human has this, but it is dormant. They don’t have this sign on it, but some you will see on the footsoles and also on the palms, on the forehead, etc. There are the signs of very, very spiritual signs. So if you know or you don’t know, but it is there, awakened in you, so wherever you will walk, wherever you will go, wherever you will be in the water, that divine energy, that divine vibration will be automatically there. So it’s the sound; the sound is everything. The creation took place from the sound. So today is something beautiful, not a call, but that’s called different melodies. Yeah, now I know why it’s coming between, like singing opera, you know, up and down.
