Review
"...Arya defines meditation by first clarifying what it is not. He scrutinizes the various motives in pursuing meditation." -- Yoga Journal

"A useful book from the Himalayan Institute ... Arya defines meditation by first clarifying what it is not. He scrutinizes the various motives in pursuing meditation." -- Yoga Journal

Product Description
For the first time the science of mantra is made understandable for the modern Western reader. The most common misconceptions regarding meditation and the use of mantra are explained clearly and often humorously. This comprehensive book covers the science of mantra from all angles, including linguistics, history, psychology, science, philosophy, and religion. Chapters include "The Sounds and the Psyche," "Subtle Origins of Sound," and "Levels of Initiation."

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent work on the science of Mantra, April 12, 2002
By "pthreads" (Cambridge, MA United States) - See all my reviews
This book is a very good resource for any one interested in the science of mantras (sounds) and their use in meditation. Pandit Usharbudh Arya (now known as Swami Veda Bharathi) is a very well known expert in this area...

This book will appeal very much to people who like logical explanations of theories and phenomenon. The author explains what mantras are, why they are so important in meditation and also the science behind mantras. This book is highly recommended. In some chapters the author goes into sufficient detail as to require re-reading to understand the subject matter thoroughly.

For those people who think that spirituality is an occult science this book will dispel that myth...
