Chanting 'OM'

Dhananjay • 12/8/2013
Question

Sir        

Can repetitive chanting of OM mantra be considered a spiritual activity, enough for transmuting that corresponding part of semen.?

Thank you

Answer

1. The chanting bears fruit when performed with a mind focused on the Omkara alone as representing the ultimate reality, free from all other thoughts. Mere mechanical repetition does not suffice in most cases. Such a thought free mind is attainable only further to 'Pranayama' in the case of most people. Hence the need for all the Anga-s of Yoga.

2. Upon attaining to such a state, one soon goes into silence in the state of the self. The Atman is  silence.

Therefore, chanting of OM can be taken up as a supporting activity to the other suggested practices.

ॐ तत् सत्
(That Supreme being is the absolute truth)
