In the yogic tradition, mantras have been used to correct the energy on all levels of being - whether physical, mental, emotional or spiritual. It is also used to correct and elevate the energy of a place or space.
Delhi Neurosurgeons are currently studying the impact of Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra on severe brain injury patients. The study is being done in Delhi’s Ram Manohar Lohia hospital and is funded by the Indian Council of Medical Research.
The head of the neurosurgery department, Dr Ajay Chaudhary and his team are conducting this study. It has been a 3 years study which is in its last phase now. 40 patients with head injuries and a score between 4 and 8 on the Glasgow scale (meaning severe coma) were selected for the study.
"A lot has been done by the Yogis that we don’t fully understand. We have seen how simple ‘exercises’ (Asanas) of just different ways of breathing can impact the very life energies in ways where chronic diseases can be reversed. Mantras are much more powerful. Sound energy, which may have been powerfully consecrated for a certain purpose, can impact in many different ways. Studying them in a scientific manner is an important step in understanding the work of our ancient masters – the Rishis and Maharishis. Studying the Mahamrityunjaya mantra is a good first step."
