Chants


We have all heard chants in some form or the other, we have heard priests chanting in temples and closer home we have heard our parents or grandparents chanting. It does not matter what religion you follow, which tradition or culture you belong to, each one of them have some kind of chanting as a spiritual practice. 

While some of us have picked up what was taught to us during our growing years, some of us have questioned the necessity or practicality of chanting. Some of us might have questioned our parents why is it important to chant, and in all probability we were told to do as was said and not question customs!

There is a huge difference between doing something because it imposed on us and doing something because you believe in it. This belief may be religious, spiritual, scientific or psychological- the means to strengthen your belief does not matter. When you chant because you believe that it will affect you in some positive manner only then does it make sense to take up chanting.
You might have often wondered if chanting and prayers are mere superstitions.  Well, all around the world studies and experiments have been conducted to probe into this very aspect. All of them have found that psychological, neurological, and physical changes do occur in the body as a result of chanting. More about this later.

So does that mean chanting is magic? Is it all hocus-pocus? Well, no, there is no magic in chanting! It is purely scientific.

 The Superstring theory of Physics supports the fact that everything in the universe is made up of sound and vibration including the human body. As long as the body is in a state of natural resonant vibration, we are healthy. Disease sets in when some part of our body vibrates at a counter frequency and blocks the energy to that part. Here is where the chants come into effect. Chants create vocal harmonics with a combination of sound and vibration and thus are known have a positive impact on our body.

Jai Shri Krishna!
