Hey guys, is it possible to see Mantras?
What is a Mantra?
Mantras are sacred sounds mentioned in Ancient Hindu Texts and even today, thousands and
thousands of people chant these mantras during meditation, rituals etc.
But is it possible to visually see how these Mantras look?
So my friend and I have been trying to visualize the Mantras and we have built this device
and let me show you what this is.
It is basically a nice vibrating piece of latex or rubber stretched over the mouth of
a long cylinder, and we have put a simple mirror in the center of the latex in front
of it.
This cylinder is hollow , there is nothing inside, when you look at it from the other
side.
Now here is a laser pointer and I am going to adjust the laser so that the laser light
falls exactly on the center of the mirror.
The light from the laser pointer starts here, hits the mirror and is now reflected on to
the wall on the opposite side, ok?
The light just looks like a dot on the wall, because the latex and the mirror are stationary,
they are not moving right?
Now, If make a sound through this cylinder, for example I chant a Mantra, watch what happens
to the light pattern on the wall.
So, let's try some Ancient Mantra through this device and see how this Mantra looks
visually, ok?
The mantra I am going to try now is called Shreem, this is the Mantra of Goddess Lakshmi,
ok?
So let me try chanting the Mantra: Shreem.
Shreem.
Ok, you are looking at the visual representation of the Mantra, I believe this is the first
time we are visually seeing how ancient Mantras really look.
And this is very very interesting, I am turning off all the lights and showing it to you,
because you can see how the Shreem Mantra looks in Close Up.
And this is very very interesting to watch, but Because it is not a static frequency,
I am basically chanting a mantra which has a beginning and ending, you can see that the
pattern appear for a second and then disappear when the Mantra ends, right?
So it is very hard to catch it because it disappears before you can fully grasp it.
Now, we are actually looking at the visual representation of the Mantra, ok?
How is this happening?
When I chant a mantra through this cylinder, the Sound waves move through the air onto
this flexible solid which also picks up the waves.
Now I have transferred the sound from air to solid medium, because I can see the solid,
unlike the air, but I still can't see it clearly.
So I have attached this mirror to the flexible latex, so the mirror will also vibrate at
the same frequency.
Now, the light that's reflected from the mirror will also change because of the sound waves.
So the sound waves or frequency sent through the cylinder can be seen visually on the wall.
Now, I am going to test the sound of Aum Mantra on this device, but before that, Why did I
even think of building this Mantrascope?
Why am I testing these Mantras?
What is a Mantra?
A Mantra means uncorrupted or unpolluted sound in its purest form.
Mantras are usually chanted 108 times to gain several advantages, there is a specific type
of Mantra called Beej Mantras or Seed Mantras, they are considered the seeds of everything.
You chant them 108 times, to gain physical strength, to attain a meditative state of
mind, and gain a lot of other physical or spiritual advantages.
What is the difference between these Seed Mantras and other sounds?
These Mantras are special, vibrating sounds beyond human interpretation, they are purely
sounds without any meanings.
Now, what do I mean by this?
I am talking to you, right now, these are all sounds I am making with my vocal cords
and you are able to understanding the meaning of it.
Right now, you are only focusing on understanding the meaning of what I am saying.
Your mind is not paying attention to the sound itself, because it is busy translating the
sounds into meanings.
Now suddenly if I say 'KLEEM SHREEM HROUNG' there is a complete blank in your mind.
Your mind is just puzzled.
Because there is no meaning for these sounds at all.
You no longer look at the meaning itself, and you have to absorb the Sound as it is.
And this is the main effect of Seed Mantra, using the sound as it is, not the meaning,
but the sound itself is used for the benefit of your mind, your body and for many other
benefits.
The field of Mantra is a very important scientific study done by ancient Indians, they were able
to document the effect of pure sounds on the body, the mind and nature itself.
And of course you can ask, is this really science, isn't this some fuzzy religious theory?
Do we have actual scientific evidence that sounds alter your mind and body?
I think it is fairly easy to understand that sounds alter your state of mind, this is why
we love music, and you also listen to music in a totally different language which you
don’t understand the meaning of the words . Someone plays the violin a certain way and
you will automatically go back to your past and start thinking of all the mistakes you
made.
If a bird gives out a fabulous mating call, you become romantic, even though you are not
a bird.
So it is not hard to understand that sounds alter your state of mind.
But do sounds really have an effect on your body?
In 1957, a Russian Born Scientist by the name of Vladimir Gavreau was working in France.
As he and his team mates were working in a lab in the city of Marseille, all of them,
started to get fever, headaches and nausea and they vomited multiple times a day, sparking
the fear that they had all caught an infectious disease.
But when everybody went home and stayed home, the mysterious illness went away and everyone
became healthy.
But then they all returned back to this lab and they all got sick again.
This was a physics labs, there were no chemicals or live animals or something like that.
So they realized something was going on in that building that was making them sick, and
they eventually found out that large cooling fans were newly installed and they were generating
low-frequency sound waves, which was making everyone sick.
When they got rid of the fans, everyone became normal.
Now, Vladimir became so intrigued by this event that sounds can affect your body, he
invented the very first sonic weapon.
A weapon that creates sound to kill people.
It was called 'Canon Sonique' and the French Military at that time tried to use it, unsuccessfully,
because they could not find out a way to focus these sound waves only on their enemies.
So the people operating this device could also die, just like their enemies, because
the sound waves travel everywhere.
Wikipedia says Vladimir patented his prototype, and we can still find it in the French Patent
Office.
Ok so, it is a scientific fact that sounds can alter your body… and mind, it is not
a myth.
Ancient Hindus used the same concept and created Mantras.
By chanting certain sounds in certain frequencies you can alter the mind, and body.
Now let us try Aum and see how it visually looks ok?
Because Aum is considered the Mantra of all Mantras.
It is considered the frequency of all beginnings and ends.
So let me just chant the Aum Mantra through this cylinder and see what happens, let's
find out.
Aum.
I can see something like an infinity guys..I don't know.
I could see..a sign like an infinity…which is weird.Aum…You see this, this looks like
Infinity or like ..sometimes even DNA strand…that's odd.
Let me turn off the lights and I am gonna see if we can get a better look at this, because
this is really interesting.
Aum..Aum..So it is pretty interesting guys, when I chant the Aum Mantra, I saw something
like an infinity, especially when I turned off all the lights, I could see it better.
It looked like Infinity sometimes even may be three loops .. looks like a DNA strand
or something like that.
But then when I chanted more and more, there was also a weird vibration.
It is just a sort of.. a reverberation.
So let me go to the computer and let's see how everything looks when we slow it down,
ok?
Aum..Aum.
So, I slowed this footage down and you can tell that an interesting infinity symbol shows
up when I chant Aum.
Is this just a coincidence?
I don't know.
It is really weird because according to Ancient Hinduism, Aum is the Sound of Infinity and
Beyond.
This is why Aum is called Pranava Mantra or the Primordial Mantra or the Sound of the
Universe.
Please let me know what you think about why Aum looks like Infinity, is there a connection
or is it just a bizarre coincidence?
I have not finished designing this Mantrascope, I don't like the fact that these patterns
disappear immediately and we have to go to the computer every time and slow it down to
see how it looks.
So we are gonna make some more changes to it, and hopefully I can show an improved version
soon.
Now, this device was made with the help of people like you who support me.
After my YouTube Channel almost got banned, a lot of people went to my Patreon page and
started donating money, and we were able to build this Mantrascope so fast, even during
this lockdown, because of these donations that you guys gave me.
So, I really appreciate your help and support, and I do hope to build a lot more new things
related to Ancient Technology.
