Note

This is the tenth revision of the book.

Latest revision July 26, 2011. (10 th revision)

The various discrepancies and subsequent corrected edit ions are due to the reason thatthe author have related Chakra with vowels. The tradi t ional relat ion of chakra with seedwords was not sat isfactory for the author.The majori ty of theory in the book is represented from a new view point. So some part oftheory which was not ful ly sat isfactory and deemed unnecessary was removed.

In the previous edit ion, A new vowel ( ) was related with the manipura (solar) chakra,So the previous vowel assigned to manipura(solar) ( ) has now been assigned to Anahata (heart) chakra

and() is now assigned to Vishuddha (throat) chakra. Therefore the previous editions somewhat becomes

redundant and the addit ion of ( ) solves a major side-effect of mantras which wasmigraine.Also in the previous edition the vowel(o)was assigned simultaneously to Vishuddha (throat) as well as Ajna

(third eye) chakra. This has been rectified and the vowel () has now been assigned to Vishuddha (throat)

chakra ,which was previously assigned to Anahata (heart) chakra.

The Need For The Book

The mantras on which this book and the other books written are thousands of years old and are part ofBharatiya history from its dawn.

There are many books available in the market, written by well followed god-men/ god-women and welleducated religious scholars. But these books lack in a sound reason for the effects of mantras on human

body. Most of them starts from different point of view and the reasons given lack authenticity and conviction.

This book relates the chakras with vowels, and the role of chakras in ancient history.

Furthermore, the author of this book also believe that the ancient history or religion of majority of the world's

civilizations, particularly the Bharatiya sub-continent contained explicit pointers to the medicinal physical,emotional and mental effects of the chakra on the humans. The whole narrative of the ancient Bharata

History contains same structure and substance as the history of other civilizations, only the narratives arechanged.

Example :The story of deluge as in Sanatan Dharama (Hinduism), takes place as the Matsya avatar of God

Vishnu. The same story is repeated in Christianity in the form of Noah's ark . Examples can be given ofancient history of different civilizations, where deluge legend occurs.

This book is di f ferent from tradi t ional point of view from the point that tr adi t ional viewemploys beeja mantra ( Lam, Vam, Ram, Yam, Ham and OM) for the st imulat ion of chakrasbut the book detai ls the relat ionship of vowels with Chakras.Some people had have related the vowels to chakras but unfortunately in the wrong orderi.e. the vowel relating to crown chakra is associated (erroneously) with root chakra and vice-versa.

The vowel notations are in Devanagari(Hindi), English and International Phonetic alphabet. These are merely atool to represent them. The real thing is the pronunciat ion of t hese vowels, which can bel istened from the Wikipedia l inks page.Also I am not aware of the vowel notation system used in English, so the readers are requested to look atWikipedia page for the correct pronunciation of the vowels.

About the Author

I am a student and in process of completing my graduation.

I admit that the field of religion is too big for a mind like me, to understand and evaluate completely andproperly.

I at the best can reason and present the idea from another view point.

I was totally dis-satisfied at the reason presented by other well known authors on the subject of Chakras. Theroot words attached with chakras in other books were not satisfactory for me.

So this book is my attempt as I feel that the book can be used as an agent of change for the uplifting of

humanity and society.

Some Things about Chakras :

1. It takes deep meditation to activate the chakras.

While deep meditation do help in activation of chakras, It is not the sole per-requisite. The chakras canbe stimulated in normal consciousness.

2. It takes a long time to activate the chakras.

Initial activation of chakras requires time, which can range from few days to few week. But onceactivated, an individual can stimulate, regulate the chakras in a matter of minutes or hours.

Chakras In Human Body

Ancient Bharatiya religions point to the existence of Energy centers in human body. Chakras (Wheel) as these

are commonly referred to as. Their are different set of exercise to stimulate or activate these Chakras. Theseexercises may include meditation, chanting of mantras, yoga and others.

In my opinion, the chakra could represent the collection of nerves.

There are total seven (7) Chakras in the body .

A description of each Chakra is given below :-

1. Root chakra (Mooladhara) : Known as the base chakra.2. Sacral Chakra (Swadishthana) : Located at the pubic bone.3. Stomach Chakra (Manipura Chakra) : Based at Solar Plexus.4. Heart Chakra (Anahata Chakra) : Located at the heart area.5. Throat Chakra ( Vishuddha Chakra) : Located at the throat region.

6. Third Eye (Ajna Chakra) : Pineal gland. 7. Sahasrara Chakra (Crown Chakra) : Located at the top of the Head.

See the image - 1 below for the location of chakras in the human body.

Relation Of Chakras With Glands/Plexus

Chakras could be interpreted as the collection of major nerves in the body.

This is a hypothesis, as I am no Medical Expert.

The relation between the chakras and the various glands/plexus is given below :-

1 . Root chak ra (Moo ladhara ) :This chakra is at the base of spine.

2. Sacra l chak ra (Swad ish thana) :The Swadishthana chakra is related to the Sacral Plexus.

3. S tomach Chak ra ( Man ipura ) :This chakra is related with Solar Plexus.

4 . Hea r t chak ra (Anahata) :This chakra is related with the heart and surrounding chest region.

5. Throa t Chak ra (V ishuddha) :This chakra can be related with the thyroid gland.

6 . Thi rd Eye chakra (A jna ) :This chakra is related with the pineal gland.

7 . Crown chakra ( Sahasra ra) :This chakra is related with brain .

C hakras and VowelsThe seven chakras can be assigned into three categories on the basis of their polarity :-

1. Bottom - Strong, Hot , Hard, Male, Yang.2. Middle Neutral.

3. Top - Weak, Cold, Soft, Female, Yin.

The seven chakras relate to the vowels as explained below: The seven vowels are(e),(a), ( ), ( ), (), (o),(u).

These vowels represent the positions of jaw while speaking the vowels. e.g. : While speaking ( ) ,

the jaw is half open But while speaking ()the jaw is fully open.

The vowels '(e),(a), ( ) ' corresponds to bottom category as these vowels have strong andrestless sound.

Image 7 : Strong Vowels

The vowel ' ( ) 'corresponds to middle category as it has neutral sound (neither strong nor soft).

Image 8 : Neutral Vowel

The vowels ' (), (o) and(u)'corresponds to top region as these sounds are weak, soft, andcalm.

Strong ( ), ( ),

So the three category classification of vowels :-

1. Bottom - (e),(a) and ( )

2. Middle - ( )

3. Top - (), (o) and(u)

The Vowels are also classified as:

physical : (e),(a) and ( )

Third Eye Chakra (Ajna) [o ()] :Yet to be determined specifically.

Crown Chak ra (Sahasra ra ) [ (u )] :This vowel leads to spirituality. Also leads to coldness in body.

Vowels And Mantras

The mantras consists of the vowel sounds :

Physical : (e),(a), ( )

Emotional : ( )

mental : (), (o) and(u)

The vowel ( ) is important as this radiates energy in body. Too much of i t leadsto numbness.

Also the vowels(e),(a) and ( ) are necessary.

An ideal mantra will contain (e), (a), ( ) and ( ) . It will also contain() and to a less

extent o () and u () .

(), (o) and(u)are necessary for mental up being, but too much emphasis on them willleads numbness in body.

When chanting a mantra, if the body becomes cold or numb then this means that the vowels (e),(a), ( ) are insufficient. So their quantity needs increasing.

How To Practice Or Recite The Mantras 1. The chakra should never be st imula ted indiv idual ly . Their should be a f ine ba lance

between the physical , emotional and mental chakras.

2. The Mantras have to be recited as we are reading the line that means normal reading. The realemphasis is on the frequency of a vowel in mantra and the repetition of the mantra.

3. These Mantras can be recited vocally or sub-vocally, in meditation or in full activeness.

4. Some people advertise miracles after the chanting of Mantras. The only miraculous and remarkablething we as humans possess is our mind and the intellect to analyze the circumstances. Remember

reality is only the perception of situation and the way we interpret the situation, the way we are goingto react to it.

5. If your body start feeling tired and cold, then change the mantra as it is lacking in (e), (a), ( ) .

6. Some mantras can have a side-effect of migraine. Pr obable cure insuff ic iency of ( ) .

The Two Halves of Brain

Image 14: The two halves of brain

The brain is the center of the nervous system in all vertebrate and most invertebrate animals.

A longitudinal fissure separates the human brain into two distinct cerebral hemispheres, connected bythe corpus callosum. The sides resemble each other and each hemisphere's structure is generally

mirrored by the other side. Yet despite the strong similarities, the functions of each cortical hemisphereare different.

The right hemisphere controls the left side of the body while the left hemisphere controls the right side

of the body.

Broad generalizations are often made in popular psychology about certain functions (eg. logic,creativity) being lateralised, that is, located in the right or left side of the brain. These ideas need to be

treated carefully because the popular lateralizations are often distributed across both sides.

Left versus right : Linear reasoning and language functions such as grammar and vocabulary often are lateralized to the

left hemisphere of brain.

In contrast, prosodic language functions, such as intonation and accentuation, often are lateralized tothe right hemisphere of brain. The processing of visual and audiological stimuli, spatial manipulation,facial perception, and artistic ability seems to be the functions of right hemisphere.


34/53

34

There is some evidence that the right hemisphere is more involved in processing novel solutions, while

the right hemisphere is more involved when routine or well-rehearsed processing is called for./

Left Hemisphere functions Right Hemisphere Functions

Nadi (Yoga)

Nadis are the channels through which , in which traditional Bharatiya medicine and spiritual science, theenergies of subtle bodies are said to flow.

Ida, Pingala and Sushumna:These Three nadis are of utmost importance :-

1 . I da ( Luna r) : Ida isof the left side of body, of a pale color and negative polarity. It is associated with feminine

attributes and Yin element.

It corresponds to upper three chakras ( Vishuddha , Ajna and Sahasrara) and colors Violet, indigo andblue.

2 . P inga la (So la r) : Pingala is of the right side, of Bright color and positive polarity. It is associated with masculine

attributes and Yang element.

It corresponds to bottom three chakras and color red, orange and yellow.

3. Sushumna nadi Sushumna nadi is in the central , of balanced color(neither too dull nor too bright) and no polarity. It

does not have any particular female or male inclinations. It corresponds to the green color.

Yin and Yang

In Chinese philosophy, the concept of yin and yang is used to describe how polar or seemingly contrary forcesare interconnected and interdependent in natural world and how they give rise to each other in turn. Opposites

thus only exist in relation to each other.

Many natural dualities Female and male, cold and light are thought as manifestations of yin and yang.

Yin :Yin corresponds to female , cold aspect of the nature. Yin affects the upper three chakras ( Vishuddha, Ajnaand Sahasrara Chakra). The yin colors are Violet, Indigo and Blue (VIB).

Yang :Yang corresponds to male, hot aspect of nature. Yang affects the bottom three chakras ( Mooladhara,Swadishthana and Manipura Chakras). The yang colors are Yellow, Orange and Red (YOR).

Neutral :Neutral region of the body is region connecting these two extremities. Anahata chakra corresponds to it. Thecolor corresponding to neutral region is Green .

Ancient Bharatiya History

Bharatiya mythology has three key components :-

1. Devtas (Gods)

2. Manav (humans)

3. Asuras ( evil )

Devtas ( demigods) :Devtas are the immortal beings, who works for the benefit of humanity and nature. They possess super natural

powers. Some Devtas represent the forces of nature and some represent moral values. They reside inSvargalok (Heaven).

Manav (humans):Humans do not possess any particular special powers. They live on prithvi (earth). This is also known asmrityulok.

Asuras Daityas :Asuras and daityas are considered sinful and materialistic. They live in daitya lok. They are in constant

struggle with the Devtas for the control of universe.

41/53

Devas, Manav And Asuras Relation With Human Consciousness

Devas (gods), Manav (humans) and Asuras are the representation of consciousness in human beings.

Devtas (Gods):Those persons who are benevolent are considered Devtas. They are non-attached and spiritual in nature. Thesuper-powers attributed to them in mythology are an attempt to describe the influence of nature over humans.

These being spiritual are free of normal human emotions and only think for the uplifting of world. That is why

they are called immortals because they are free from any normal human worries and their thoughts transcendthrough centuries.

Manav (humans) :Humans in mythology are the persons which shows emotion faculty. They live in mrityulok means they die

through normal human worries and problems.

Asuras ( devi l ) :Asuras live in daitya lok and they attempt to capture the heavens by defeating the Devtas. This means that

the physical desires of body like materialism, lust, which constantly tries to overload the consciousness of anindividual.

Asuras And Devas In Terms Of ChakrasIn Bharatiya mythology, one come across Asuras(Evil), Devas (Good) and humans.

Asuras are depicted as non-follower of dharma (religion) and cruel, oppressor to the common humans.

Devas are depicted as follower of dharma (religion) and kind to the humans. They live in heavenwhich is above the earth.

Humans dwell on Earth and can be good or bad.

Asuras : Asuras signify a person's focus/stimulation of consciousness and energy from Mooladhara chakra to

Manipura chakra I.e. the lower chakras. A person having dominant or sole consciousness at these chakras will have the mentality of

asura(evil). As these chakras only represent physical dimension of body excluding mental and

emotional.

An individual with these chakras will only cater to his physical needs.

The Mooladhara represents the sexual nature of a human.

Human beings : Human beings dwell on earth and can be good or bad according to their wish. Human are the persons

whose Anahata chakra is stimulated and conscious.

The Anahata chakra is responsible for emotional development in persons. Emotions are regarded as

first indicators of human nature.

Devas : Devas signify the human beings whose Vishuddha, Ajna and Sahasrara chakras are stimulated

collectively or singularly, means any one of three.

These chakras also known as the upper chakras are responsible for the mental development in an

individual.

An individual having these chakras stimulated will attain non-attachment and selflessness.

Trini ty In BharatiyaMythology

There are seven chakras in human body as per as mythology.

There are 3 regions in human body for which these seven chakras are divided.

These three region in mythology are interpreted as Hell, Earth and Heaven.

In mythology the three regions are also Asuras-Rakshas (devil), Humans and Devtas (Gods).

These three regions also crop up in other regions as Trinity in Christianity as Father, Son and the Holy

ghost, in Buddhism and in majority of religions as well. You just have to study their mythology in light

of the underlying concept.

The three regions manifest as Yin and Yang in Chinese philosophy ( they leave the middle neutralregion out) .

The seven chakras can be distributed in three regions as below :-

1. The Bottom region :

Chakras include Mooladhara (Root), Swadishthana(Sacral) and Manipura (Solar Plexus).

2. The Middle region :

Anahata Chakra ( Heart ).

3. The Upper region :Vishuddha (Throat), Ajna ( Third Eye) and Sahasrara (Crown) Chakra.

The Bottom Region (Physical Region): The chakras in these regions are responsible for a human's necessary survival.

This region is also interpreted as Hell too because the chakras in this region only corresponds to aperson's physical actions. So the person with these vibrations suffers from Hell viz jealousy, lust and

other vices. The person's sole consciousness only caters to his body's physical demands.

And again this region is termed as asura-rakshas region, because the person with consciousness onthis region suffers from vices and lacks emotional and mental sight and understanding.

This region is male, hot and strong in nature and the colors associated with this regions are red forMooladhara(root), orange for swadishthana(Sacral) and yellow for manipura(Solar Plexus) chakra.

This region also emphasizes attachment, lust and other vice.

The Middle Region ( The Emotional Region ) : This region is responsible for a person's emotional understanding and first stage for the ascension of

consciousness.

This region is neutral in nature.

The color associated with it is Green .

This chakra is primarily connected to humans, Earth. So the person having the consciousness on thischakra will have the mentality of humans i.e. neither too good nor too bad in character, and capable ofdistinguishing between good and evil.

The Upper Region ( The Mental Region ) : The upper region consists of chakras including vishuddha (throat), ajna ( third eye ) and Sahasrara

(Crown chakra ) .

This region is responsible for mental development of a person.

This region is associated with Devtas and heaven.

A person having these three chakras stimulated will be free from negative thoughts and attachment.He will be detached from materialism. He will be only attached to spirituality.

This region is also related to creativity and visualization.

The mantras like Omkar are recited to ascend the consciousness to this level.

God Shiva Goddess Shakti Dual i ty

Image 22 : God Shiva-Shakti

The above picture shows the Shiva-Shakti duality.

In My opinion, the above image is another reference to the male female duality in the body.

As already stated above, the right side of body is considered male, physical, strong, dark.

Whereas left side of the body is considered female, mental, weak, light.

Adam And Eve

In Christianity, Jewish and Islamic religion, one came across the legend of Adam and Eve, the first

man and woman created by the god.

The story is that Adam and Eve were not told to eat from a tree but serpent coaxes Eve to eat thefruit from it and soon Adam follow and then god threw them out of heaven to earth.

This story can be explained in fol lowing terms : The forbidden fruit is that of sexuality or transformation in body and mind due to puberty. Since the

girls/Eve achieve the puberty earlier than boys i.e. eat the forbidden fruit and boys/Adam later.

The Serpent or Satan is attributed to sexual tendencies in humans both male and female.

The heaven corresponds to the upper region or mental region and the human psyche in his childhoodremains at that place but due to onset of sexual transformation, psyche is concentrated to lower

regions or chakras.

Sound Weapons In Mythology

In Ancient Bharatiya mythological wars, the Devtas and Asuras fought through the weapons based onsound. They would chant the mantra sub-vocally before firing the arrows.

In My opinion, these are references to the physical and mental effects of mantras. The physical effectsare attributed as the Asuras and the mental effects as the Devtas.

This means that Asuras are the characteristics of overloading of consciousness by physical desires vizare lust, anger, etc., and Devtas are the characteristics of existence in consciousness of virtues like

are spirituality, kindness and non-attachment .

The wars also have a moral teachings but the above can also be interpreted. These wars also point

out to specific areas in the region of the country in which the myth exists.
