 ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND

Chants (Mantra) helps in bringing the body, mind and soul in tune with each other.
Compassion is an inherent human capacity which is invoked by chanting and meditation.
Arutperunjothi Maha Mantra is the Mantra which helps to bring the inherent nature
(Compassion) and positive health. This study has been conducted to evaluate the effect of this
mantra on human subtle energy variables, measured using Electro Photonic Imaging
technique.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

In this study 90 participants of both gender, mean age 46.69±13.43 had participated. 47 were
analysed after the study. Chanting group chanted Arutperunjothi Maha Mantra 108 times and
meditation group meditated on Arutperunjothi Maha Mantra, for 48 days (45 min/day).
Assessments for Subtle Energy were done 1st day prior to intervention, after immediate
intervention and on the last day after intervention by using Electro photonic Imaging
Technique.

RESULTS

Result showed that Chanting influenced the bio-energy pattern immediately than Meditation.
Meditation more influenced the Anja Chakra than Chanting. Long-term interventions of both
chanting and meditation influenced the bio-energy level includes Organs System and Chakra
which showed the power around 90-100%. Even though it was, Meditative people get more
benefited than chanting people.

CONCLUSION

Findings show that Chanting as well as Meditation on Arutperunjothi Maha Mantra may play
a significant role on modifying the Bio-energy pattern along with other psycho-physiological
parameters and Organs System including Chakras that in turn help in better improvement in
health and lifestyle management.

1.1. THIRU ARUT PRAKASA VALLALAR

Thiru Arutprakasa Vallalar, The Embodiment of Supreme Compassion, A Messenger of Vast

Grace Light Arutperunjothi , A Great ~Jaana chiddhar, Chuttha chanmaarkki is Swami
Ramalingam. His Moto is Universal brother hood. He was born at Marudur on Sunday
October 5th, 1823. This place is located at 15km northwest from Chidambaram in Tamilnadu.

Vallalar mentioned in ThiruvaruTpaa, "ChaakaathavanE chanmaarkki - Those who can live

forever without die, he is a real Chanmaarki (Ramalingam, 1999)" and his path is Chuttha
chanmaarkkam which teaches us Chaakaa kalvi (Deathless Education), Chaakaa kalvi
mentioned in whole volume of ThiruvaruTpaa, made up of 5818 Divine songs which was
delivered by Vallalar by the grace of Arutperunjothi .

1.2. MANTRA

A Mantra is a grouping of sound vibrations which have an effect on the mental and psychic
consciousness of man. If the mantra is from the guru or in a dream, it is best. While chanting,
if our mind fully merges with mantra, it will be effective. While chanting the mantra verbally
or mentally, that mantra’s vibrations create a certain form within us. It also influences our
psychic and physical level (Saraswati, 1983). The word Mantra has been defined as,

मनन त यत इ त म

Mananāt trāyate iti mantraḥ |

"Man - mind, trai - to protect" That which protects the one who reflects upon it
(Swaroopananda, 2010). In Sanskrit, 'Man' means 'mind' and 'tra' means 'release'. So a
mantra is a combination of transcendental sounds meant to release the mind from all the
anxieties of material life.

Mantra is also an energy which is composed of certain frequencies. It has own pattern and
vibration which creates profound levels. These frequencies and positive vibration influence
our nerves and brain. Fast chanting exhausts the mind, heart and breathes relaxation comes

14
after the chanting is over. Slow chanting relaxes the mind, heart and breathes while chanting
it (Satyananda, 1979). Mantra chanting generates the creative force and brings one in tune
with Divine by the principle of sympathetic vibrations (Govindan, 1991).

Mantra can be chanting in the following four ways (Prajna-aranya, 2011):

 वख र (vaikhāri) : Chanting begins loudly and gradually the pitch is lowered.

 म म (madhyamā) : Chanting is done silently within oneself. Even the lips are not

moved.

 प य (paśyanti) : Chanting is done mentally. Mental chanting or chitta japa is

considered the best but is the most difficult as the mind tends to wander.

 पर (parā) : Chanting is enjoyed and mind meets the god. The Upanishads describes

that ānāhata nāda is continuously going within us but we are not able to listen
because our minds are totally extroverted nd impure.

1.3. MAHA MANTRA

Caitanya maha prabhu defined the Maha-mantra, "It cleanses the heart of all the dirt
accumulated for many lifetimes and puts out the fire of material life, and repeated birth and
death". According to Vedic literature, the reason of all suffering is because of we forgot our
original, pure consciousness. There we do not need to suffer birth, death, disease, or old age.
The true identity of our real nature presents within us. But we have temporarily forgotten it.

AruTperu~jjOthi aruTperu~jjOthi
Thanipperu~gkaruNai aruTperu~jjOthi

Vast Grace Light Vast Grace Light

Supreme Compassion Vast Grace Light

15
Mercy, Compassion, Grace have the same sense, and indicate the same meaning. The
knowledge that possesses Compassion is perfect and Integral Bliss itself. The Bliss is the
supreme knowledge possessing Compassion. This is the meaning of mantra (Ramalingam,
2011). And the English translation was given by Thulasiram (Thulasiram, 1980).
Swami Ramalingam received this mantra directly from the divine in 1874 before
dematerialising. When he gave this mantra, he had already transformed his body into ~Jaana
dEkam (Deathless body). Arutperunjothi directly represents God, Almighty,
Chachchithaana~ntham and the source of all beings. Thanipperu~gkaruNai means the
uniqueness of supreme compassion (Thulasiram, 1980). Swami Ramalingam mentioned
about the benefits of being one with Arutperunjothi by chanting, meditating, remembering,
hearing, writing in Arutperunjothi Akaval (1596 verses) (Ramalingam, 1873). Some of
benefits are given below.

Arutperunjothi Akaval (verses 1449 ‐ 1473) explains about the transformation of

Physical body into ~Jaana dEkam (Ramalingam, 1873).

English Translation of Akaval was written by Swami Saravanananda, " ' The skin has become
supple; nerves function intermittently; bone shave become soft and the tendons have lost their
grip over the muscles; blood has congealed and semen has condensed into a solid ball; petals
of the brain blossom and elixir fills up the body system; face glows and breath becomes
peaceful; hairs rise on end and tears well up; mouth utters the name of the lord and the sound
of OM pours into the ears; body becomes cooled and hands rise up in salutations; mind ripens
and melts and wisdom fills up the mental frame; the ever pervading feeling has come to stay;
egoism vanishes and the soul attains bliss; impurities get destroyed and purity alone remains;
illusory tendency vanishes and a longing for god’s grace swells up…'

'Thus the process of transmutation being completed and perfected, the aspirant becomes the
possessor of a golden body. This body with shrunken skin has becomes ever youthful', an
affirmation made by Vallalar himself. 'It has shaken off sleep, hunger, thirst, diseases from
the system. It has been filled with divine light; it has developed immunity from all kinds of
destructive forces.' " (Saravanananda, 2009).

1.4. SUBTLE ENERGY

Subtle Energy is a Prana which has two aspects those are Cosmic Prana and Individual
Prana. Cosmic prana is very subtle and can only be perceived by the infinite mind but
Individual prana related to the body is grosser and more tangible.
According to Swara yoga the body is the storehouse of vital energy, a dynamo with infinite
electrical currents flowing throughout. The ordinary man sees this body as a combination of
flesh, blood and bone. But the yogis and scientists have perceived a greater force behind the
physical elements, and that is the force of energy or prana which is more subtle than the
nucleus of an atom. There is an energy link between the physical and psychic bodies and that
energy or pranic force is convertible into material force and that material force is convertible
into pranic force. It is already proved by researchers. The Equation of Albert Einstein, E=mc2
which also denotes that matter is energy in its potential state. Modern science also shows that
the energy in the body emits an aura of light. The Vedas clearly state that every object has a
pranic field which appears as an encompassing mass of light (Muktibodhananda, 1984).
Yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ depicts Prāṇa as an alive form of expanded cosmic existence, without limits
or boundaries. The Ancient sage Vāsiṣṭha made it strong that there is some kind of personal
Prāṇa, which encompases about twelve inches around the body in all directions. He calls this
personal Prāṇa "Vadasanta". This can be roughly correspond to what we usually knownit
today as the aura.

1.5. ENERGY BODY

Energy or Pranic body is a network of flowing energy in the shape of the physical body, but
radiating outward just as light emanates beyond the bulb. Its form is not static; it expands and
contracts. Decrease in the vital capacity of any vayu causes contraction of the pranic body,
while increase causes expansion. The mind and emotions also utilize prana and the pranic
body is greatly influenced by states of the mind. Negative thoughts lower the prana and
exhaust your mind whereas positive thoughts enhance the prana and frame of mind. Pranic
body is affected by our whole way of living and the pranic functions in turn affect our
capacities and attitudes in life (Muktibodhananda, 1984).
Clairvoyants have observed that every person is surrounded and interpenetrated by luminous
energy body called the bio-plasmic body which looks like the visible physical body. The
word "bio-plasmic" comes from bio which means life and plasma which is the fourth state of

17
matter. The first three beings are solid, liquid, and gas. Plasma is ionized gas or gas with
positive and negative charged particles. This is not the same as blood plasma. Bio-plasmic
body means a living energy body made up of invisible subtle matter (Sui, 1998).
With the aid of Krilian photography, scientists have been able to study, observe, and take
pictures of small bio-plasmic articles like bio-plasmic fingers, leaves, etc. (Sui, 1998).
Researchers have shown an aura like an electromagnetic field which can be measured and
photographed. Measurements of changing frequency and amplitude of the electronic field
confirm observation of the activities and changing colours of the aura (Muktibodhananda,
1984).

1.6. MANTRA AND SUBTLE ENERGY

Besides our gross and form based physical body, there is subtle energy body which made up
of sound. Our higher Self or inner being, the Purusha of yogic thought is connected to the
physical body through this body of sound. By chanting Mantra, we can harmonize this body
of sound into physical body to insure the right flow of energy. The subtle body of sound
vibration relates to the mental body and to the subtle or astral body in general, the site of the
seven chakras. It creates and sustains the physical body, supporting health and wellbeing
within it. Through changing the frequencies of the subtle body of sound, we can bring healing
into the physical body and remove the negativities from the mind (Frawley, 2010).

1.7. ELECTRO PHOTONIC IMAGING

Electro photonic Imaging (EPI) also known as Gas Discharge Visualization is a novel
technique which is based on Kirlian photography. Dr. Konstantin Korotkov is the founder of
this technique which was 1995. It is also called EPI - Electro photonic Imaging Technique.
The EPI system has been approved by Russian Health Authorities for general use, following
clinical trials and the recommendation of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Korotkov,
2014b).

18
1.7.1. GDV BIO-WELL INSTRUMENT

Korotkov explained about the GDV Bio-Well Instrument, "Bio well is a revolutionary, non-
intrusive way to measure Human Energy Field physiological, psychological, and conscious
level. It is used for scanning the Human Energy Field by applying the electrical current less
than a millisecond to the finger tips. Because of this stimulus, electronic cloud composed of
light energy photons is formed with different variation. This electronic glow is invisible to
the human eyes. It is captured by the camera system and then translated and transmitted back
in graphical representations to show energy, stress and vitality evaluations. It is Non Invasive
and easy to carry. There is no need much technical knowledge to handle this” (Korotkov,
2014a).

1.8. PURPOSE OF USING GDV

Thiru Arutprakasa Vallalar wrote about Arutperunjothi in Arutperunjothi Akaval

(Ramalingam, 1873). But it is not proved scientifically. Evidence Based Research has not
been done by chanting Arutperunjothi mantra. So GDV Instrument has been chosen to see
the overall changes in Physical, Emotional and Energy level.

1.9. PURPOSE OF THE STUDY

Thiru Arutprakasa Vallalar, He is full of compassion. He attained ~Jaana dEkam. There is a

proverb "What you think that you are". If we think or study about God or Deathless education
(Chaakaa kalvi) forever, we will become like that. Vallalar proved that. Vallalar gave this
mantra which he got directly from God. In Mantra Arutperunjothi represents
Chachchithaana~ntham/The Vast Grace Light/Source of all, we meditate directly towards the
source of all beings. So this mantra is called Maha Mantra. I would like to expose the value
of this Maha Mantra scientifically.

In all beings, even in worms and the like, resorting to the vital part of the body there abides,
along with the vital air (or bio-energy), a pure (or purifying) power, coiled in form like a
snake and always vibratory in nature (Yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ, Ch : XXV, V : 27 -28 ).

Prāṇāpānasvarūpatatvāt adha ūrdhvaṁ vrajatyasau |

Therefore, this power (or energy) is called Kundalinee (or the coiled one). All the Naadee-s
(or channels of bio-energy) in (or going to) the receptable of the heart are connected with

20
this. That alone is considered as consisting of Prāṇa (or bio-energy). On account of this
inherent nature being Prāṇa and Apāna, it moves up and down (in the body) (Yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ,
Ch : XXV, V : 29 ).

Dehaduḥkhaṁ viduḥ vyādhim ādhyākhyaṁ vāsanāmaym |

If the vital air bound with in, physical ailment is not produced in a living being. The distress
of the body is known as disease, Mental affliction consists on mental impressions (or
knowledge drived from memory agitating the human psyche) (Yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ, Ch : XXV, V :
30 ).

Diseases occurs in the body when prāṇa (bio-energy) reaches deprivation in the series of the
cavities of the Naadee-s (or channels of bio-energy such as nerves, arteries and veins), due to
the eating of bad food, the occupation of bad places, the conduct of affairs in unsuitable time,
the evil of association with bad people and by the diminution or overfilling (of the system
with the necessities of life) (Yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ, Ch : XXV, V : 31 - 32 ).

Saṅkṣobhāt sāmyam utsrajya dahanti prāṇavāyavaḥ ||

When the mind is agitated, the body indeed goes to the state of agitation. On account of
agitation, the vital airs (or current of bio-energy) flow, giving up evenness (Yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ,
Ch : XXV, V : 35 ).

when the bio-energy flow unevenly, channels attain to an improper condition. The
perverseness of the bio-energy currents in their channels causes the food wrong digestion,
indigestion or over digestion (Yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ, Ch : XXV, V : 36).

By the purity of mind these vital airs flow in regular course which digests the food easily.
Because of that, physical ailments parishes (Yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ, Ch : XXV, V : 40 ).

Repetition of Mantra is regarded as the best of all yajñas or sacrifices. There is no loss or
injury in this yajña. Manu says: "Whatever else the brahmana may or may not do, he attains
salvation by japa lone" (Shivananda, 2000).

Patanjali Yoga Sutra

The word ‘Antaraya’ denotes the obstacles one may experience while trying to attain
Samadhi. Japa and devotion to God will help to overcome these obstacles. Once a Yogi
conquers these obstacles, he can turn his sensory organs inward and see the Purusa residing
within (Padiki Naaogaraj, 2015).

All Mantra have own powers with embeded consciousness. Its power become awaked when
it is practiced with intense focusing and sincere sacrifice. The proper awaking can be gain by
Guru who truely communicate with Mantra. The two aspects, proper guideness from Guru
and power of Mantra lead a sādhana to perfection (Pandit, 1973).

2.2. MODERN LITERATURE REVIEW

2.2.1. STUDIES ABOUT CHANTING MANTRA

The result of chanting Maha Mantra which was studied by Thulasiram, "While Doing
Meditation on direct mantra Arutperunjothi , Gangadharan (who was a great sadhak in Sri
Aurobindo Ashram) experienced the Vast Light of Supreme Grace linked the Truth-world of
Super mind with the whole universal manifestation and the vast nether Realm of the
Darkness. During Chanting he felt the graceful presence of Swami Ramalingam and he was
surrounded by the white Light of Grace and Om Kara Sound and Bliss. His soul-
consciousness joined with the Self and ascended to the Truth-world of Super mind, seeing the
pure white Light of Grace everywhere on his way. In the ascent into the Truth-World he
entered into the Golden Truth-world of Golden Light and then reached the summit Truth-
world of the pure white Light of Supreme Grace (Arutperunjothi ). He became identified with
the Supreme Divine of the vast Grace-Light and experienced the whole universal
manifestation in its formless form and as an expression of Supreme Compassion
(Thanipperu~gkaruNai). Then, by a power of the Grace-Sakti he came down into the Golden
Truth-World and saw Siva-Sakti Dance in their subtle or formless form of union, and after
descending through several planes, came back to the earth which appeared illumined by
Golden Red Light. His soul-consciousness returned into the physical body through
Brahmarandhra, the hole in the top head. But before so entering, Golden Red Light rushed
into his physical body filling up all its cells, and then Golden Light similarly entered into his
whole adhara. His whole body appeared luminous in golden red, and even the roots of hair
shone likewise. Indescribable Bliss overwhelmed the depth of his heart. Now the Golden
Light rushed into the vast nether Realm of the Darkness and pervaded it making it luminous
Golden. Then, It was filled up with the White Light of Grace, and with it, came the tangible
experience of micro-atomic, luminous and conscious white particles of Substance radiating
Light-the same particles as were seen before by Gangadharan in 1978 in his rare vision of
dematerialisation of the luminous golden, transformed-living-body of Swami Ramalingam
and there was also the experience of the Supreme Divine inhabiting it with Love and Grace
and Compassion. This revealed concretely that the Supreme Divine of Vast Grace-Light
(Arutperunjothi ) has become the Darkness for the play of a slow evolutionary Manifestation.
Gangadharan heard a blissful Sound of Grace, hitherto unheard of ever before. He sensed a
Fragrance of Grace. After two hours of continuous experience he woke up with eyes open.

26
The vibrations of the Presence of the Supreme Divine with the Light of Supreme Grace were
felt concretely and tangibly in the physical cells of the body too and it continued for long
hours. He felt his heartfelt gratitude to the God of Arutperunjothi for providing him this
supreme experience" (Thulasiram, 1980).

2.2.2. STUDIES ABOUT IMAGE OF MANTRA

This is the picture of "Arutperunjothi " Mantra written by Vallalar in his own hand
writing.
According to Research Review of Thulasiram, "While touching this image of Mantra with
our fingers or placing the cursor of computer on this image of Mantra, the Grace Light
Vibrations at our Gross Physical body level can be felt".

2.2.3. STUDIES ABOUT IMAGE OF VALLALAR

SWAMI RAMALINGAM (alias Arut Prakasa Vallalar) (1823 - 1874)

Vast Grace-Light (Arutperunjothi ) Deathless Transformative Mantra given by Vallalar

27
According to Research Review of Thulasiram, "While touching this image of Vallalar with
our fingers or placing the cursor of computer on this image of Mantra, the Grace Light
Vibrations at our Gross Physical body level can be felt".

2.2.4. COLOUR THERAPY USING IMAGES

By touching the image of mantra using one hand and touching the colour ribbon using other
hand Person is getting healed. For Example, deep rosy-red cures in the long run nervous
pains, rheumatic disorders, spondylitis, arthritis etc. and deep blue cures imbalanced vata of
excessive nervous vibrations and energy. Green gives cooling effect and cures pitta state of
excess heat and fever. Greenish-golden relieves nausea and biliousness. Based on deficiency,
person uses the colour to treat himself.

2.2.5. STUDIES ABOUT ELECTRO PHOTONIC IMAGING TECHNIQUE

EPI/GDV Technique has been used to study about various populations worldwide such as
Cancer, Asthma, Pregnancy, Diabetes, Obesities and also healthy people. A study which
showed that Gas Discharge Visualization (GDV) technique is one of the biometric tools that
have the potential to identify deviations from the normal functional state at early stages and
in real time (Kostyuk, Cole, Meghanathan, Isokpehi, & Cohly, 2011). Another study which
proved the ability of identifying patients with tumours of the colon using EPI technology, as
well as use it for differential diagnosis of tumours of the colon by their morphology, size and
quantity (Yakovleva et al., 2016). Another study was done by Assessing biophysical energy
transfer mechanisms in living systems: the basis of life processes, which showed that GDV
techniques provide indirect judgment about the level of energy resources at the molecular
level of functioning in structural-protein complexes (Korotkov, Williams, & Wisneski, 2004).

4.6. ASSESSMENTS

4.6.1. GAS DISCHARGE VISUALIZATION (GDV) TECHNIQUE

GDV Technique is the computer registration analysis of electro photonic emissions of

different objects, including biological, resulting from placing the object in the high-intensity
electromagnetic field on the device lens. When a scan is conducted, a weak electrical current
is applied to the fingertips for less than a millisecond. The object's response to this stimulus is
the formation of a variation of an "electron cloud" composed of light energy photons. The
electronic glow of this discharge, which is invisible to the human eye, is captured by the
camera system and then translated and transmitted back in graphical representation to show
energy, stress and vitality evaluation. The images are mapped to different organs and systems
of the body, tapping into Chinese energy meridians (Krishnamadappa, 2017).

4.6.2. DATA TAKING PROCEDURE

An established guideline (Alexandrova, Fedoseev, Korotkov, Philippova, Zayzev, Magidov,

2002) was followed to obtain reliable and reproducible data. It is recommended to collect
data after 3 hours of food intake and after 5 hours of any prescribed medications. No other
diagnostic procedure was to be held at the same time. They were assessed before and after the
respective intervention, and the GDV readings were taken by the same expert, at the same
place. There were identical conditions of psychological and physical comfort for all subjects
in a quit and calm environment. Calibration was done as per the guidelines. Subjects were
instructed about finger placement on the glass at 450 angles with a gentle but firm touch.
They were asked to remove all metallic ornaments that they do not wear for the entire 24
hours a day. Further, a few more things were followed for acquiring consistent readings: (1)
The subjects stand on an electrically isolated surface while making a measurement; (2) Glass
plate was cleaned after every subject; (3) A distance of three feet was maintained between
GDV and laptop while collecting data (Yakovleva, Korotkov, 2015).

34
5. DATA EXTRACTION AND ANALYSIS

5.1. DATA COLLECTION

All data were collected using GDV instrument attached with laptop with installed software.
Demographic data and consent forms were obtained using written forms.

5.2. DATA EXTRACTION

7. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION

7.1. DISCUSSION

The aim of the study was to observe the influence of chanting Arutperunjothi Mantra and
meditation on Arutperunjothi Mantra in bio-energy pattern in different vital organ system,
psycho physiological and energy level in healthy individuals using EPI. Assessment was
done to show the immediate effect of chanting and meditation, long-term chanting and
meditation, also to show the difference between chanting and meditation.

Immediate effect of Chanting and Meditation

The present finding showed that immediate effect of Chanting more influenced the bio
energy pattern than immediate effect of meditation. Also it showed energy balance between
the L/R Symmetry (Left and Right side). Meditation more influenced the Ajna chakra than
chanting which showed the significant difference (p - 0.019). Ajna Chakra influences the
Pituitary gland. It increases the intuitive power and also it creates pure prana in the body
(Vidyananad, 2015). But Immediate Chanting showed the significant difference in overall bio
energy pattern specifically in Endocrine system (p - 0.024). Also it showed the significant
difference in Anahata (p - 0.012) and Sahasrara Chakra (p - 0.017). Master Choa kok sui
mentioned in his Twin heart Mediation these chakras represent the seat of being of Divine
Love (Sui, 1998). Anahata Chakra is responsible for heart and lungs (Vidyananad, 2015).

Effect of Long-term Chanting and Meditation

The result showed that both Chanting and Meditation influenced and improved the energy of
all organs system which showed the power around 99%, also result showed the significant
improvement in harmonious of inner system which works together and the significant
reduction in the disorderliness of energy.

The result of both Chanting and Meditation showed the significant improvement in balancing
all organs and also in Chakra value which showed the power around 99%. Additionally long-
term chanting showed the significant energy balance between the L/R Symmetry (Left and

101
Right side) also energy of organs system influenced the organs system of Head, Respiratory
system and Muscular Skeletal system.

Comparison between Chanting and Meditation

Even though long term Chanting and Meditation showed the significant changes and
improvement in Bio-Energy level, the result from the table 6.7.8 showed meditative people
get more benefited than chanting people. But the result from the table 6.2.8 and 6.3.8 showed
that the Chanting influenced the bio-energy level immediately than Meditation.

General Discussion from the feedback of participants

Some of them felt very lightness and relaxation in their mind after chanting this mantra which
influenced them to chant regularly and continuously even after completing this research.

A participant whose age was 48yrs affected by Cancer in Uterus, Weakness in nerves,
Numbness in hands and legs. She couldn't do even her own work without support. But after
chanting mantra one week slowly she started to do her own work without any support, she
become active to do enough work.

Another Participant whose age was 30 affected by PCOS and also with painful Menstruation.
But after started to do Meditation continuously, she didn't feel pain in the next cycle.

Surroundings of people changed positively within the family and outside of family. One
family shared after starting the Chanting, the relationship between husband and wife became
matured and understandable. Few people shared that the people who hurt them, they itself
came and spoke in friendly way. They became very happy.

7.2. CONCLUSON

Findings show that Chanting as well as Meditation on Arutperunjothi Mantra may play a
significant role on modifying the Bio-energy pattern along with other psycho-physiological
parameters and Organs System including Chakras that in turn help in better improvement in
health and lifestyle management.

(IAMT)

1. Breath Awareness (Anapana Sati) & watch mind in Padmasana or Sukhasana (2

mins)
Sit in a comfortable meditative posture with your spine, neck and head in one straight
line. Relax your whole body with 3 to 5 deep breaths. Now observe the flow of natural
breath at the entry of both the nostrils. Now observe the mind as a passive observer. The
rising of thoughts and feelings.

2. Pranayama – Sectional Breathing[4x5R], Nadi Shuddi[5R] and Bhramari [5R] (10

mins)
Now let us practice pranayama. First let us regulate the breath with sectional
breathing. Adopt chinmudra in both the hands and keep it on the knees. Let us practice
only abdominal breathing for 5 deep breaths. Inhale slowly & deeply and bulge the
abdomen out. Exhale completely and suck the abdomen towards the back. Now feel the
energization of the lower portion of the lungs. Next let us practice thoracic (chest)
breathing for 5 deep breaths. Adopt Chinmaya mudra in both the hands. As you inhale
deeply now expand your chest alone to the sides and as you exhale slowly relax the chest
muscles. Feel the energization of the middle portion of the lungs. Now let us practice
clavicular breathing for 5 deep breaths. Adopt Adi mudra in both the hands. As you
inhale deeply and slowly raise the collar bone along with the shoulders slightly and take
it little bit back. As you exhale completely bring the shoulders little bit forward and
lower it down. Feel the energization of the upper portion of the lungs Now let us practice
full yogic breathing for 5 deep breaths. As you inhale deeply and slowly first bulge the
abdomen out, then expand the chest to the sides and then raise the collar bone. As you
exhale first lower down the collar bone, then relax the chest muscles and then suck the
abdomen towards the back. Feel the energization of the entire lungs.

Next let us practice Naddi Shuddi Pranayama for balancing the breath. Adopt chin
mudra in the left hand and keep it on the left knee. Adopt pranayama mudra in the right
hand. Exhale the remaining air in the lungs through both the nostrils. Close the right
nostril with right thumb and then inhale slowly, deeply and continuously through the left
nostril. Then close the left nostril with the right little and ring finger. Then exhale slowly

110
 and completely through the right nostril. Now inhale through the right nostril and exhale
through the left nostril. This completes one round. Let us repeat it for 5 rounds.

Next let us practice Bhramari pranayama for deepening our awareness. Touch the tip
of the tongue to the upper palate. Close the ears with the index fingers. Inhale deeply and
as you exhale completely produce humming bee sound in the pit of the throat. Feel the
resonance throughout the body, especially in the brain. At the end of 5 rounds feel the
increased awareness and calmness of the mind.

3. Experience deep peace (1 min)

Maintain the deep silence and peace for some time.

4. During inhalation chant mentally “Arutperunjothi” and Thaniperungkarunai” on

exhalation at the eyebrow ceter (5R) (3 mins)
Now let us take our awareness to the eyebrow center and feel as if we are breathing
through our eyebrow center for some time. Then as you continue to breath through the
eyebrow center chant mentally “Arutperunjothi” with each inhalation and
“Thaniperungkarunai” on each exhalation.

5. Breath awareness (1 min)

Now observe the flow of natural breath at the entry of both the nostrils.

6. Concentrate on stillness (pause) after inhalation and exhalation with breath

awareness (2 mins)
Let us now try to observe the stillness after each inhalation and exhalation phase along
with breath awareness. Feel the deep awareness and concentration.

7. Golden shining flame ‘Arutperunjothi’ at the base of spine (30 secs)

Bring the awareness to the base of spine and visualize a tiny flame(Arutperunjothi) with
effulgent golden light surrounding it. Feel the strong pulsation of the flame.

111
8. Effulgent flame moving from base of spine to center of head (30 secs)
Now visualize and feel the flame is ascending up from the base of the spine crossing
each major chakras along the spine and reaching the center of the head behind the
eyebrow center. The golden flame is shining on the top of a beautiful white lotus.

9. Feel the effulgent flame pulsating strongly at center of head (30 secs)

10. Shower of energy chanting “Arutperunjothi Mahamantra” (30 secs)

Now as you visualize the effulgent flame shining, start to chant continously the
‘Arutperunjothi Mahamantra’ mentally.

11. Golden flame expands and its light fills the body and beyond to reach the all
pervasive awareness. Feel deep peace, joy and silence (3 mins)
Now as you continously chant the mahamantra feel the effulgent light filling the entire
body and then gradually expanding beyond it to the boudaries of the room where we are
sitting. Then expand the awareness towards the boundaries of the district and then to the
state. Further expand to the boudaries of the country and then the cirucumference of the
world. Then expand into the space all around till you reach the all pervasive awareness.
Feel the total silence. Enjoy deep peace, joy and harmony as the mantra is repeated
slowly in the mind. Feel the oneness with all living beings in this universe thus
establishing universal brotherhood.

12. Shanti Mantra with feeling of compassion, peace and happiness to one and all (5 min)
Now let us feel the suffering of living beings and invoke compassion towards them
praying for their wellbeing as you chant mentally the shanthi mantra “Ella Uyirgalum
Inbutru Vazhga”.
Then gradually shrink back your awareness to the circumference of the world, then to the
boundaries of the country, state, district and then to the boundaries of the room where we
are now. Slowly shrink the awareness to a few inches away from the body and then to the
physical body. Then bring back the awareness to the middle of the head behind the
eyebrow center. Visualise the efflugent flame on the white lotus.

112
13. Concentrate on the effulgent flame in the middle of the head. Then watch the mind
(2 min)

14. Breath awareness near the entry of nostrils (2 mins)

15. Observe silence (2 mins)

Purpose of the research

Thiru Arutprakasa Vallalar, He is full of compassion. He attained ~Jaana dEkam. There is a

proverb "What you think that you are". If we think or study about God or Deathless education
(Chaakaa kalvi) forever, we will become like that. Vallalar proved that. Vallalar gave this

114
mantra which he got directly from God. In Mantra Arutperunjothi represents
Chachchithaana~ntham/The Vast Grace Light/Source of all, we meditate directly towards the
source of all beings. So this mantra is called Maha Mantra. I would like to expose the value
of this Mantra.

Intervention
