The Ancient Science of Mantras: Wisdom of the Sages Kindle Edition

I'm grateful to Om Swami for this comprehensive guide to mantra sadhana. When so many spiritual organizations seem to want people to be dependent on them, to come back over and over for "the next step," Om Swami clearly has our best interest in mind, wanting us to be independent, empowered seekers. For a book that handles such complex topics, it's incredibly well organized and easy to follow. I'm excited to apply the practices in my life!Note:I first read the Kindle version. There's some editing and mechanical errors, such as the Gayatri mantra being misprinted and certain instructions in sadhanas pointing to non-existing sections (e.g. It says the Ganesha sadhana will have different ingredients for every night and says the different ingredients will be listed later on. There's no list that follows. It's likely that this is an editing mistake and the sadhana doesn't require different ingredients after all).I got the printed version to see if these mistakes were Kindle-only, but it's in the printed version too.Long story short--The Kindle and print version seem to be the same, so don't bother doing what I did.

Thank you for providing in-depth details about mantras and daily routines for performing sadhana, and also detailing sadhanas of Ganpati and MA Gayatri.

It's a comprehensive book about procedures but there is no application part as usually supposed to be in mantra books. This book just gives the viniyog mantra but not the viniyog itself.

The quality of the book and its contents are great but the edition that reached me was obviously the publisher/printer's issue. I hope they fix it soon.

The subject of mantras has historically received a wide variety of reactions. There are the nonbelievers (who perhaps would like to be addressed as ones with a scientific temperament). To them mantras are an archaic, irrational and irrelevant malady of the society. There are the agnostics, who at most are intrigued by this occult art but won’t delve deeper. There are the zealots who unquestioningly accept it as an ancestral heritage and don’t see a need to evaluate the rationale behind these practices. And then there’s the author of this book, Om Swami, who begs to differ….The Ancient Science of Mantras is a result of a lifetime of research and experiments from a scientist who won’t settle for anything less than empirical evidence. This work will startle you with the conviction of the author. His authority over the subject is undeniable. Add to that his powerful communication style and his relentless pursuit for the truth, and you have in front of you a compendium rich in analogies, analysis and explanations that appeal to the modern mind.In his inimitable style, the author first lays the foundation with a captivating and colorful background. He recognizes that some of this is not easy to digest for several of his readers and in anticipation of this he proactively answers all the questions that pop up in our head. The second half of the book is a manual of sorts. One where the author has provided a step-by-step guide to get to the desired goal. This is the section that separates the men from the boys. Once you get into this section - you can only be in one of two camps. Either you decide to go for the prize, or you are clear that this is not for you in the foreseeable future. Either way, you won’t be left with a doubt in your mind.Long story short, the author lays out the path of mantra for you - the benefits, the trials, the tribulations. You may or may not pursue it. But this is the ONLY book that you would ever need to read to find that out. Period.

This book is at once a exposition and a manual on Mantra Science. It is a must have for anyone who wants to know, understand or practice the science of Mantras. The book has something for every audience. It satisfies the curious but casual mind with a clear background about Mantras and the science behind them. At the same time it provides clear laid out steps and details for the more serious and sincere seeker. Most importantly, the book presents tried and tested techniques that provide proven results. It is not based on some theoretical research and study but is the work of a realized master who has "been there and done that".It is rare to find a teacher/author in the spiritual sciences who actually has experienced the greater dimension and speaks not from some bookish knowledge but from personal experience. This is not second hand knowledge that is shared in the book but systematic proven methodology which if followed correctly can give the practitioner the results they are seeking.My recommendation: pick the book up now; before it gets sold out and you have to wait for a reprint.

This book is so full of details that I felt like S someone is teaching me personally. It's full of knowledge, steps, and practical applications. I wish I could enter to meet him in person and make him my guru. However, until that time, I will treat this book as a perfect guide. A couple of topics are still ambiguous, like what mantra Siddhi means, why is needed, etc, but he touched upon it slightly. Rest you will have to figure it out by yourself.

This book surprised me. An excellent reading on the sacred science of mantras. Very complete and didactic, full of examples and very easy to read, content treated in a serious and responsible manner. I recommend to delve into the theory and practice of the ancient Hindu art of the Mantras. if you are serious about the subject, you can not fail to have this book on your bookshelf as a guide and instruction book.

I am so glad that Om Swami offered his words of wisdom on mantras - this book contains priceless knowledge. I fully recommend this to anyone who is interested in knowing the truth about mantras and their correct application.
