Here is a picture from the Fujiwara Dam in Japan before

Picture when Sanskrit prayer word was chanted.
Taken from “The hidden messages in water”
by Dr Masaru Emoto.
Dr Emoto’s work has not yet been put up to full
scientific rigors, but this research definitely points
to more research in this area.
Let us consider the impact of this on our body.
Our body is around 70% water. Let us fill this water

Dr.Herbert Benson, M.D.
is the founding president of the Mind/Body
Medical Institute (M/BMI), and the
Mind/Body Medical Institute Associate
Professor of Medicine, Harvard Medical
School.
A graduate of Wesleyan University
and the Harvard Medical School,
Dr. Benson is the author or co-author of
more than 175 scientific publications
and 11 books.
Dr. Benson’s Advice for
Stress Reduction and Positive Thinking
According to Dr.Herbert Benson,
the Relaxation Response by a
technique based on Western
relaxation methods, Eastern
meditative practices & certain
type of Prayers consisting of
Four basic elements :
1) a quiet environment
2) a comfortable position
3) repetition of a prayer,
Chanting
4) a passive attitude free
from thoughts
During meditation, the overall
metabolism of the body slows
markedly. For instance, heart &
breathing rates decrease blood
flow to the muscles stabilizes,
and blood pressure falls
A Clinical Test of the Benefits of
Mantra chanting was performed on 3
groups of 62 subjects, males & females
of average age 25. They chanted the
Hare Krsna Maha Mantra 25 minutes
each day under strict clinical supervision.
Results showed that regular chanting
of the Hare Krsna Maha Mantra reduces
Stress & depression and helps reduce
bad habits & addictions.
These results formed a PhD
Thesis at Florida State University.
Spiritual practitioners claim
many benefits from Mantra
Meditation such as increased
realization of spiritual wisdom,
inner peace and a strong
communion with God and the
spiritual realm. These effects
may be experienced by
following the designated
spiritual path.
