Beej Mantra
The science of Mantra is very
complex. There are even Mantra for such specific purposes as curing snake
bite and chronic disease, but these are of a lower order. In the modern
world, the power of gross sound vibration is just beginning to be utilized
in physical therapy, and its potential is being tapped in other fields.
The ancient Indian sages had this sophistication thousands of years ago.

planes of human consciousness and to reach the divine vibration that is
the experience of God. Beginning in Om and dissolving in Om, the Mantra
