Chant OM And Free Yourself From All Ill-Thoughts And Disease

In Yoga, understanding and chanting of OM has a great significance. Om is a syllable(akshara) or a word in Sanskrit. There is no syllable or word neither in Sanskrit nor in any other language of the world as great as OM. The syllable OM is in itself a great hymn(mahamantra). Vedic hymns are chanted only after chanting of OM.

Upanishads, the fountainhead of Indian spiritualism describe OM as Brahman. Brahman is the ultimate reality or divinity in the whole universe. All worldly things, all names and forms are only the manifestation of Brahman. The world appears to exist because of Brahman. The sense organs in the body cannot realise Brahman. The senses only feel worldly things. The senses feel worldly things for Brahman as Atman(soul) exists in all living beings.

In order to feel and realise Brahman one has to chant OM and practice Yoga. Practice of Yoga is meaningless without knowing and chanting of OM. OM should be chanted with full exhalation. Sound should come out equally from mouth and nose. With a full inhalation again one should chant OM with full exhalation. This way one should go on chanting OM for atleast half an hour before doing yogic exercises. The ultimate aim of chanting and practicing Yoga is to realise the Self(soul) that is Brahman.

By chanting of Om cells in the body becomes alert, active and concious. Elements causing disease in the body get destroyed. By chanting OM for a long duration one feels the bliss and freshness. Mind becomes free from ill-thoughts and gets concentrated. While chanting OM one should keep one's mind on the sound of OM. However the technique of chanting of OM should be learnt from a Master.
