ABOUT THE TECHNIQUE
Mahamantra (The Great Mantra) meditation is a technique to make your mind centered and integrated, and fill you with energy. The Mahamantra is the essential vibration which is resonating not only in your Being, but in all of Existence. This technique is designed to make your whole body mantramayaa (vibrate with the mantra) through humming.
Humming is a powerful means of bringing your awareness to the present moment. If you hum intensely, you cannot have any thought at that time. So your Thoughts Per Second (TPS) automatically comes down.
The energy generated by the humming cleanses the energy blocks in the mind-body system.
When you are intensely humming, all the ideas which you have about you will be completely shaken. Like an earthquake, this is a technique for a 'mind-quake'!
This technique will also fill you to the brim with energy, so that you stop seeking attention from others.
Attention-need is nothing but low energy.
Attention is energy.
When you are in a high-energy state, you don't need attention-energy from others.
Instead, you will be overflowing with energy, which you will start showering upon others!
Chanting the mahamantra is known as the mahamantra uchchaadana – uttering the mantra which is beyond utterance, beyond speech or writing, beyond expression.
It is the anahata dhwani (the unheard sound).
When you experience the energy of this meditation, you will understand that you are based in this anahata dhwani.
When you practice this meditation, your entire energy becomes centered on yourself.
This meditation should be done on an empty stomach or two hours after a meal. It is best to practise it early in the morning, as it generates a tremendous amount of energy in your body. If you practise it at night, it may interfere with your sleep.
It can be done either alone or with a group. When done with a group, it effectively energizes the place where it is done.
While doing this meditation, you may wear your mala (rosary) around your neck. It will serve to store the energy that you create during the meditation.
