Nada Yoga – The Link Between Sound and Form Such training is too exhaustive and people do not have that kind of patience or dedication nowadays because it needs an enormous amount of time and involvement. Like this, different people who speak different languages, according to what language they have been used to, tend to distort various mantras, unless real training is imparted. If the Americans say it, they will say it in a completely different way. If the Tamil people say it, they say it in another way. If the Bengalis say a mantra, they will say it in their own way. But when different people speak, each one says it in their own way. Mantras always come from a Sanskrit basis, and the basic aspects of Sanskrit language are so sound sensitive. Mantra and Sanskrit – What’s the Relationship? We know of people who have caused damage to themselves by the improper utterance of something as common as Gayatri mantra. As a science, it is a very powerful dimension, but if it is imparted without the necessary basis and without creating the necessary situations, it can cause lots of damage because this is a subjective science. But when it is done with proper awareness, with exact understanding of what it is, a mantra could be a very powerful means. Any repetition of the sound always makes your mind dull. Without that necessary awareness, just repeating the sound only brings dullness to the mind. Every mantra activates a particular kind of energy in a different part of the body. If a mantra comes from that kind of source, with that level of understanding and when the transmission is pure, then mantras can be an effective force. When we say “all that is sound,” we are talking about the creation itself. They can be an effective force in creating something but only if they come from that kind of a source where there is a complete understanding of all that is sound. Just one mantra can do such tremendous things to people. Mantras could be an extremely good preparatory step. Otherwise someone else has to open it for you and you have to listen to him. Only if you are the key can you open the lock. Becoming the mantra means you are becoming the key. It is something that you strive to become because unless you become the key, existence will not open up for you. So a mantra is not something that you utter. If you use them in a certain way, they become a key to open up a different dimension of life and experience within you. Of these, a few mantras or a few sounds have been identified, which could be like keys. So, that means, the whole existence is a kind of sound, or a complex amalgamation of sounds – the whole existence is an amalgamation of multiple mantras. Where there is a vibration, there is bound to be a sound. Today, modern science sees the whole existence as reverberations of energy, different levels of vibrations. Sadhguru: Mantra means a sound, a certain utterance or a syllable.
