THE CHANTING OF "OM MANTRA (With special reference to the


vibrations of "OM)

"I searched Om in all places,
I found it within me; Mediated
Upon it day and night; At last,
He gave me Sivayanama for blissful life.
-Kaliyuga Siddhar

INTRODUCTION: My disciples, what is OM? By reciting Om, what is the benefit? What is the real
meaning of Om? In which part of Veda, is this Om present? What this Om represents? How to
meditate on it? All these questions raised within me. So, I went in search of many people to know
the meaning of it, but I did not get the answer.

Without losing enthusiasm, I went in search of yogis present in hills, forest, madalayas, Ashrams
and temples, to know the meaning of "Om. They gave me different stories, but none of them gave
me the "true meaning. Like this, I lost many years in understanding the meaning of Om. Then, I
spend some days alone in a room. One fine day, I started doing "Shanmuki Mudra and found that
Om sound vibration was fine-tuned and vibrating within me. I listened to it again and again and
found many changes in my body, mind and breath.

MY SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE

I spent 12 years day and night with this cosmic rhythm and meditated on it. Even when I was
engaged in worldly action, my mind was completely absorbed in Om mantra vibration. When you
close your eyes, natural scenes become invisible. Likewise, when you shake your mind, the Om
mantra vibration stops. And so, I stopped shaking (vacillating in thought) my mind and concentrated
only on omkara vibration. When I was spending my days in this mantra, "Lord Siva appeared
before me and gave me the panchakshara mantra "Sivayanama." He also explained me how to
articulate the mantra. He transformed my human life into "Pure Wisdom Life.

All these siddhis I attained only through Om chanting and Om vibration. You can say this is the
"seed of all Veda. This is the primary root of all mantras that exists in this world. Om is a small
"spark in yogic life, but if you sincerely chant, you can create enormous yogic fire within you.

I will teach you how to chant Om mantra. If you practice it sincerely, you can attain "yoga siddhi,"
"gnana siddhi," and "kaya siddhi" (kaya means body). Practice intense meditation to avoid being
caught in the whirlpool of "Kaliyuga Maya.

"I chanted Om through my mouth,
I chanted Om through my mind,
I chanted Om through my blood,
I united with Omkara and became "Om.
Kaliyuga Siddhar

OM CHANTING TECHNIQUE

Disciples, now I will teach you how to chant Om mantra. When you learn Veena, how the rhythm
steadily raises and gradually subsides, in the same way, close your eyes and raise the cosmic rhythm
Om from the naval region. Simultaneously, pull your stomach muscles slightly inside. Now, get rid of
all the impure air from your lower stomach region and inhale slowly and gradually through both
nostrils and fill the air gradually in whole body. This is one cycle. Like this, practice 18 times both in
morning and in evening.

BENEFITS
By chanting omkara, all the 72,000 nerves present in the naval region get refreshed.
The "kundalini shakthi present below the naval region raises gradually.
Body becomes lighter due to reduction in flab muscles.
Everyday tension and depression gets destroyed due to "omkara dhyana.
All the traumatic experience, which you had undergone in this life, is destroyed gradually.
The mind is tamed and bought under control.
When you chant Om within yourself, "yogic fire is created and when practiced everyday sincerely,
can produce "yoga jothi. This gives "thejas to the body. This can be compared to a man who colors
the vessel. He has a leather bag by his side and it is connected to fire. He pressurizes the leather
bag and makes the fire to glow. Likewise, the stomach acts as leather bag and when Om mantra is
chanted, the yoga fire is created. All these boons were given by Lord Siva to me. You also practise
and attain higher consciousness in this life.

Disciple, if you feel all these are not true and these are but the cheating of Mantra Yoga, you will die
even if all rich people and belongings are beside you. So, my disciple, start practising Omkara Yoga
from today onwards irrespective of time, place, date and age.

"I realized `A, my body did not perish,
I realized `U, my karma was destroyed,
I respected `M, my rebirth is gone,
I am now "Sivam because of Sivayanama.
Kaliyuga Siddhar

Disciple, omkara mantra is got from Parabrahman. This can be compared to a bee, which sucks the
nectar from the flower. The bee will produce a rhythmic sound vibration in its body naturally before
sucking the nectar. After reaching the nectar, the sound vibration stops and the bee sucks the nectar
silently. Likewise, a man when desires for Gods grace, produces Om vibration in his body and when
his soul and God become `one, the omkara stops naturally and he remains `Sivam and tastes the
`ambrosial state.

EXPLANATION OF OM MANTRA

When you separate each syllable from Om, you get `A `U `M. `A is Jeevathmans conscious state.
`U is jeevathmans dreamy state, and `M is jeevathmans superconscious state. The `A in Om
represents the past, `U represents the present, and `M represents the future. So, when you chant
and realize Om, you will know all the three life states. So, disciple, when you chant Om, `A is uttered
first and this represents the world. The `U represents the individual self or Atma or Soul and `M
represents death. To understand this world, Atma, death, and to sever these worldly ties, meditate
on OM.

Brahma, Vishnu and Siva do creation, preservation and destruction. All these three are represented
in Om. So, when you meditate on `Om, you are directly under the Divine Grace of all the three Gods.

SCIENTIFIC ANALYSIS OF OM MANTRA

Om mantra, when scientifically analyzed, refreshes the whole nervous system and relaxes the body.
When you continuously chant the Om, `electric sparks are created within and it saves you from
negative forces. It also transforms human energy into spiritual energy. Biologically, `A `U and `M
are of core importance to human body. The "Amen in Bible also represents the same. In Muslim
religion, if you take "Bhangu El Allahu Akbar also represents Om mantra. When they chant this,
they get some type of cosmic vibration in their body and by using that, they are able to cure people
affected with disease.

By meditating on Om, your atma attains freedom. You get rid of diseases and negative karmic
cycles. All the sins, which you had committed in the previous birth, will be burned in `cosmic fire.
After attaining yoga siddhi, chant the panchakshara mantra, "Sivayanama, and lead a blissful life.

"When my heart was chanting Om,
I attained Birthless Life,
A Light which changes the fate,
Arise, Awake and meditate on it.
Kaliyuga Siddhar

Disciple, a small fetus when developed and grown in the mothers womb, resembles the meditating
posture of God. He prays to God to be born in this world. We call this fetal position in Yoga Sastra as
"Karba Pindasana. A man worships God before birth and after taking human birth, he neglects God
and ridicules him. He forgets the "Natural Supreme Power within him and desires for external
power, which is transient.

Man does not realize the importance of Athma when he is young and smart. He realizes only in old
age when his body becomes weak and diseased. And then, he finally turns his attention to Yoga and
meditation. Even when he involves in Yoga, he is not able to attain yogic power due to physical
weakness of the body and inability to withstand the cosmic force. This is the mundane activity of an
average man in Kaliyuga.

Disciple, in whatever stage you are, irrespective of time and age, thank God and start practising
Omkara Yoga. Thank God that he made you practise yogasana and dhyana before losing this human
birth.

PRACTISE OF OMKARA DHYANA

During early morning and evening hours, sit in a room and meditate for sometime. First, close your
eyes and concentrate on the eyebrow. Gradually, it gets fixed in that place. Everyday, do dhyana for
20 minutes and gradually increase the timings without affecting the day-to-day activities. When you
attain advanced stage, you can clearly hear the Omkara sound vibration within your body. When
meditating on this for years, you can hear the seven cosmic rhythms. They are bell, ocean, elephant,
flute, cloud, beetle, fly, conch, perigai, and yazh. The moment you attain cosmic vibrations, karmic
cycles are tarnished and you gain a blissful life.

Many people lead mundane worldly life without knowing the importance of Omkara Yoga. Better start
the practice of meditation and Yoga and realize your `self through Yoga. Change the karma through
omkara dhyana.

My disciples, start practising meditation during early morning hours (Brahma muhurtham), because
this is the best suited time to mingle with "Brahman and to attain "Brahma Shakthi. May God bless
you with blissful life and serene state of mind.
