Learn to Chant the Gayatri Mantra

The branch of metaphysics known as spanda, the science of eternal vibration, holds that all creation evolves from the Word. Here “Word” does not refer to speech uttered by a human voice or the audible sound produced when two objects strike each other. The Word is anahata nada, the unstruck sound, which vibrates eternally in the realm of pure consciousness. It is the Word that existed before the beginning of creation. The power of mantra is not limited by time, space, or causation, for mantra is a self-existent, self-luminous reality that can be heard by all who have ears to hear. But mantra transcends sound . Mantras are seen by the eyes of the soul rather than heard by the ears.
