SOUND THERAPY MUSIC & MANTRAS
Sound is a wave that has its vibration. By now, it has been mentioned that the action that generates pulses will generate colours also, or colour is inherent (dormant) in the beat. A close relation exists between colour, light, expression (thought) and sound because aspevibrate and vibrations have waves. Different methods can measure all four. Their effects continuously go on changing due to constant changes.
Alphabets are carved out of sound, words from alphabets, and sentences from observation—and from here onwards starts a wide field of Phonology (the science of sound) or Phonetics. Sound is regarded as energy in science, and in schools and colleges, sound is taught in Physics through various chapters. Presently, telephones, films, televisions etc., are based on sound laws. The music owes its origin to sound. There are seven gamuts (musical notes or scales) or tunes, from which various musical notes and modified versions can be composed. Music is a celestial world—hardly anyone in the universe is opposed to music. In my opinion, if any person does not like music, you must conclude that the person is suffering from ill mental health. Seven musical sounds are used in seven modified melodic tunes/tones, whereas only five gamuts are used in some. Music has its broad spread history, and every musical note casts different effects.
Every musical tune ( Raaga) has its specific peculiarity. For instance, ‘Bhairav Raaga’ is recited early in the morning. Its impact is so significant that a blind one knows the advent of morning time. It is said that when Tansen repeated/sang ‘Deepak Raaga’, lamps were used to lighten. ‘Bhairav Raaga’ spreads coolness, whereas ‘Deepak Raaga’ generates heat. An unseasonal rain can be caused by singing ‘Malhaar Raaga’. ‘Maalkosha Raaga’ is sung with the help of five Raagas only, which generates attachment and love. It dispels the bad effects of ‘Raaga Vair’. It is a well-known fact about Lord Mahavir, as mentioned in Jain scriptures, all his discourses were delivered in ‘Maalkosh Raaga’ only, and all men, animals and species, whoever reached near him, lost the sense of spectral hate, so much so that even trees, plants and creepers used to get so much impressed by his sermons that all of whom use to express their feelings. There was no feeling of enmity between hen and deer, even if they lived together.
Sound waves and vibrations are the only sources by which a person can convert even an ‘impossibility’ into a possibility. The more the forceful voice of a person, the more sparkling and sharp the colour of his vibrations will be. Hence, such a person can hypnotise anybody anywhere. It was the famous Hitler that due to his forceful and compelling voice, could grip his Generals so much so that they obeyed, without any resistance, the command of Hitler, with his firm and persuasive voice. Hitler got such jobs done by his Generals, which have not yet been repeated by anyone else.
In our own country, there are good orators. All political leaders are good orators, so crowds throng madly to listen to their oratory.
Quite often, we can make out whether a person is an idiot or intelligent simply by sheer listening to the style of his deliverance of speech. This is how we distinguish between buffoonery and intelligence. That is to say that a person is through his voice, and this voice is a vibration from colour emanating. Fascination with sound is generated by the combined effect of words, time and colour. Similarly, it has been observed certain times are played in music over which the mind gets concentrated, and physical and mental health is attained. Feelings/Effects about devotion, bravery and libido etc., can be created by music. Music generates our emotions which are named accordingly. But the question is why such feelings take place. We will observe that feelings emanate from our minds as colours emanate from vibrations from good music.
It has been observed that when the spirits of forces drip in a state of depression, their patriotic feelings can be aroused and depression dispelled with soap by playing patriotic musical tunes. All songs and poems relating to variant feelings are full of red, indicative of bravery, whereas devotional feelings are engrossed with blue. Music affects human beings, animals, birds, and vegetation. Experiments have revealed that ‘Maalkosh’ music is displayed in the presence of milk-yielding animals; they will start producing more milk.
Similarly, plants and trees quickly bear flowers and fruits. The flute has a musical tone. If the excellent and melodic tune is played on the flute, the deers start dancing joyfully and will roll on the ground with pleasure if the music is more musical— such experiences have been done in my presence many times. Professional snake-charmers flute’s musical vibrations are so charming that the snakes, entirely forgetting the fear of death, come out of the holes and start dancing joyfully. You will be surprised to know that snakes do not have ears. Hence can not hear, but the waves (musical) emerging out of the flute make them ravel with delight.
In certain nursing homes, musical tunes are played at the time of operation. During the process, the patient is kept conscious by anaesthetising the organ where the function will be performed. Since the patient remains conscious and may not experience any mental agony (pain), a tune is played so that he may get mental peace, thus forgetting the pain arising out of the operation. Songs create such colours that impart a feeling of purity and freshness. Even Physics concedes that sound is colourful. Seven gamuts of music consist of variable colours, which, in turn, affect the body and mind of the patient, thereby helping him to get rid of the disease.
Dr Quewan Amber has referred to a helpful gadget named ‘Orotone’, out of which seven musical gamuts (which are of various colours) emerge. From the musical note, ‘C’ emanates red, ‘E’ yellow, and ‘G’ blue. When a patient needs a particular colour, a specific musical tune is displayed for him—such a device has shown fruitful results.
Though fascinating, knowledge relating to colour therapy is still a little-known discipline. A lot more still needs to be done in sound therapy. After knowing about sound, it is necessary to mention emulates (Mantras) composed by Indian ascetics, saints, yoga teachers and other teachers to pacify the planets for sacred fire, worship etc. These could express even the lengthy concepts in a condensed form, in their intrinsic way. All the mimics were designed based on colours. For instance, the blue light will spread up to about 2¼ metres by merely chanting the word ”; hence, correct chanting of mantras gives rise to sparkling and robust colours.
The method of curing diseases through mantras is an age-old tradition in India, as mantras are formed out of specific words consisting of condensed words that have their effects individually. Words are pronounced with varied sounds, controlled by the concentration of the mind. Sound produces minute vibrations within which colours be dormant, and those are the same colours that affect the body and mind of a person, thus removing his ailment.
