The Cosmic Sound

15.07.2010

I was conversing with Mr. K S Sreekanth at the Masonic Lodge today. He is a Chartered Accountant, senior Mason and good friend. He has conducted extensive research on sound and has written a book describing the power and meaning of the sounds used in Vedic chanting. He shared this information with me that I thought was interesting enough to post as a blog:

The planets make a peculiar sounds as they skim through the cosmos. This sound is OM. This cosmic sound resonates and reverberates throughout the universe and is the essential principle in all created matter.

He gave me a proof of this. Water from high mountain springs in the Andes which is pure and unsullied when examined under a powerful microscope reveals the pattern that resembles OM! When ordinary tap water is thus examined its molecular shape is distorted. When the same tap water is stored in a vessel and the Vedic Mantras for purification of water are chanted continuously over it the molecules reform the original OM shape and become pure and pristine. This ceremony of purifying water and sprinkling it on objects and people is called Punyahavachanam and is routinely performed before a yajna or sacrifice.

Believing this or not is an option. Knowing it, I thought would be interesting and useful…for, after all, to quote the Bard of Avon..There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.
