Health benefits of chanting Aum

Aum is the primordial vibration.It was the first to originate. Aum is most sacred sound in our Sanatan Dharma. But it is more universal than we accept as of now.

Swami Yogananda’s Guru Shri Yukteshwarnath ji  has referred to it as the ‘Word’ which is mentioned in Bible too. There is a verse in Bible :

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”

Shri Yukteshwarnath ji said: “This verse of Bible can be only understood by the  AUM mentioned in Vedas .” When the formless  wanted to create the universe, first Word AUM appeared. This is the same word which is implied in Bible too.

Some may agree and some may not with above statement. Nonetheless, the scared sound AUM has is always reverberating in cosmos in perpetual unison in everything. Every particle of creation is singing the sacred sound at very subtle level . Yogis hear this sound in deep meditation .

Such profound sound does not have only spiritual benefits, but it has many physical benefits too.

AUM is made up of three characters.
A, U & M.
“A” means to be born,
“U” means the rise, flying, i.e. development,
“M” means to become silence, that is to say “to become one with universe (Brahmaleen)”

AUM is the origin of the entire universe and the sign of the whole creation.Universe starts with AUM and ends with AUM. Know How to pronounce healthier and adopt the way to the health …

The method of Chanting AUM:

How to chant AUM? Get up early in the morning, preferably 96 minutes (4 Ghadis) before sunrise and within 48 minutes(2 Ghadi) of sunrise. This duration of 144 minutes, is the ideal time, within this also sooner the better.

Once you have progressed advance enough, this can be done any other time as well. But in starting, Mornings are best time to tune your body, mind and spirit to this sacred practice.

However doing is better that not doing at all. So do not make timing an excuse. Although best results will be obtained in Morning and evening ‘Sandhi-Kaal’ ( Twilight time- Conjuncture of day & night ) .

Get free from your daily chores quick and sit for chanting. You may sit in in  Padmasana, Ardhapadmasana, Vajrasana or Sukahsana (as you normally sit on ground on cross legged position). Though proper Asanas (Padmasana, Ardhapadmasana, Vajrasana)  will give better results.

Pronounce AUM in deep resonating prolonnged voice like :

“AAAAAAAAAAAA…UUUUUUUU……MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM”

The sound of M has to be prolonged a little bit more than A and U. This helps you connect with your inner self.

You can pronounce it 5, 7, 10, 21 times as your time permits. The more you do better it is. 108ntime daily will be great.

You can start it loudly and slowly as you wish . Once you start doing it you will find your rhythm soon, mostly it ends in moderate deep resonating soothing voice.

You can use rosary in chanting too. Use Rudraksha Mala or , Tualsi Mala etc. as you wish.
