The Power of sound

To utter OM regularly in groups has a better effect on the subtle planes for world peace than peace demonstrations.

Rhythm and ritual

All rhythms and rituals finally aim at transforming the matter of our body in a natural way in order to enable a faster development.

Listening to the silence

When we listen to the silence, we will hear a humming sound. This is the voice of silence, the soundless sound which is heard in the heart centre.

Explanation

“Guru bhyo namaha” means salutation to my teacher; “Parama Guru bhyo namaha” means salutations to the teacher of my teacher; then “Parameshti Guru bhyo namaha” means salutation to the teacher of the teacher of the teacher. Three generations teachers are invoked and respected. Then, “Sapta Rishi bhyo namaha”. Sapta means seven. Seven Rishis, to them we salute. Then, we salute the Pole Star, Dhruva. Then, we salute the mind-born sons of Brahma: Sanaka, Sanandana, and Sanat Kumara. Like that, there is a Hierarchy. In the daily invocation we are strongly recommended to recognise the presence of the Seven Seers within our being in the seven centres, and also feel their existence on the planet in the land around the Pole. It is the Sacred Island. This practice would slowly enable us to establish a link with these grandest beings of the planet. The seven ashrams are basically their work.
