HEALING IN HINDUISM

Now a days more and more people are attracted to this place to have spiritual healing. For e.g.:, Lord Dwanwanthary ( a form of Lord Vishnu) is considered as a healer and by chanting his mantra, constructing Dwanwanthary Yantra, and by performing rituals to him, we can perform healing. I have found a  number of great Ayurvedic Doctors in Kerala ( a state in India) who  meditates and chant mantra of lord Dwanwanthary. They usually charge their medicine by using mantras before it is given to the patients. Hindu lords called Aswini Devas are also considered as healers.

Rituals like Sudarsana homa, Akhorahoma, etc can remove the negetive entities attached to a peson.

Daily poojas (chanting of mantras and other rituals) to Sree Chakra will give wealth, power and happy family life to a devotee.

Ganapathy Homam ( a pooja/ritual) can remove difficulties and blocks in any projects.

Bhagavathi Seva  ( a pooja/ritual) can reduce sufferings of all type.

A form of Lord Siva called Vaidyanathan is also considered as a healer. A number of people in Kerala who are suffering from Epilepsy are getting miraculous cure by staying 12 days in the famous Siva temple in Ettumanoor, Kottayam (dist) .

You can see hundreds of people who are getting out of mental diseases like psychic attacks and possession by simply staying at Chottanikkara Devi temple in Eranakulam Dist, without consuming  medicine or any other treatment. 

Do you know how this happen?

Hindu temples in Kerala State ( India) are constructed in a special way. Our temples are not prayer halls or meditation centers, but are scientifically created energy centers.   

Hindu temples in Kerala are built according to Thatchu Sastra - the ancient Indian  science of construction- and according to the Tantra Sastra - Science of Tantra and Rituals-. The temple buildings are constructed according to perfect mathematical equations. The size, shape and other technical aspects of these will vary according to the deities. After the completion of construction  a deity will be placed in  these temples. The  Thanthry (chief  priest of Hindu temple) will charge the deity with adequate energy& power by raising/ awakening  his Kundalini energy by following weeks of secret and elaborate Tantric practices. Continues charging ( ie giving energy to the diety ) of these deities will be performed by the priests 5 to 7 times a day by chanting mantras and also by performing Tantric rituals -- Normally from 4 AM in the morning to 8.30PM evening-- every day.

 All these will keep the deity in the temple in a very power full state.

There are hundreds of Hindu deities in Kerala and each serves different purpose. Because the mantras and rituals used in these temples are different, the type of energy and vibration produced by the deities will also be different. Now we have more than Ten thousand   temples in Kerala State which are thousands of years old and are continually charged everyday, right from the beginning of their construction, by the priests who have studied different Tantra's and rituals. The power is given to the deity in such a special way that the vibrations created by the mantras and the energy flow from the deity will extend up to the compound wall of the Temple.  

When a person enters into such a temple he is actually entering in to this divine energy field. His energy body and chakras will receive and absorb the power and energy coming out from the deity in the temple. Practically he takes a bath in the energy of the deity. This will  clean the energy body / aura of the devotee and will also give similar vibration (that of the diety) to the chakras of the devotee. This vibrations can expel deceased energy and can charge the aura with positive divine energy.

So a common man without meditating or doing any spiritual practice can also have a strong and vibrant aura and other spiritual benefits by simply visiting the  Hindu temple.   

If the deity in the temple is a healer like lord Dwannwanthary, then the energy send out by the deity will remove the suffering and will heal the patient. The Goddess in the Chottanikkara temple at Eranakulam sends out very powerful and special energy which  will break the negative energy entities (psychic attacks) in the human body.

We use different deities, different mantras, different rituals  and different temples for different purpose, simply because the energy and vibration emanates from different deities, and mantras are entirely different and will work in a different way.       

           You can use the following mantra of lord Dhwanwanthary for healing.

Dwanwanthary Mantra:

"OHM   NAMO   BHAGAVATHE    VASUDEVAYA   DHWANWANTHARAYE  AMRITHA    KALASA     HASTHAYA      SARVAMAYA       VINASANAYA THRAILOKYA     NATHAYA     MAHAVISHNUVE    SWAHA"

MANTRA

All religious disciplines are calculated to give man, the necessary concentration on the divine and ultimately take him to the goal. They cleanse and intensify the faculties of his mind- knowing, feeling, and willing.

A mantra is a sacred word or words. It is a mystic sound symbol of god. Mantra is so called because it is achieved by mental process. man- in mantra is for manana- ie thinking and tra is for trana, ie liberation from the bondages of the phenomenal world. It was discovered by the saints of ancient India.

Mantras are letters arranged in a definite sequence of sounds of which the letters are the representative signs. The mantra of any devatha [ form of god] is that letter or combination of letters which reveals that devatha to the consciousness of the devotee who has evoked him, by the power of his spiritual practise. Sound precedes the manifestation of form in creation. Since from certain sounds certain forms evolve, every sound is responsible for a particular form.

Mantras are vibrations which posses both constructive and destructive power.For eg:
Gayathri mantra is used for spiritual up liftenement.
Sudarhana is used for protection from negative energies.
Sree sooktham for wealth.
Dhanwanthary mantra for healing and so on.

Every mantra must be intoned and uttered in the proper sound and rhythm.

How mantras work?
There are different chakras in our energy body. Out of these, 7 chakras are major chakras, because all of them come under the route of Kundalini. Each chakra is associated with certain sounds. [actually now we are using these sounds are Sanskrit letters]. We know that every sound produces a corresponding vibration in the energy field. When a person constantly chant a mantra, that sound will continuously produce a vibration in his energy field. Before a sound comes out through our throat, it was there in the nadis(energy channels) and in nerves. So we can say that a sound first manifest in the energy body and then comes out through the physical body.

The continuous japa (chanting) of a mantra will invoke the corresponding letters in each chakra. The pattern of letters and sound in a Sanskrit mantra can thus create a very similar movement in the chakras. Such a continuous vibration will affect the Kundalini. So by the constant use of a Sanskrit mantra the kundalini energy will start moving and this gives power and the required condition for the person who used it.

RAJAYOGA

The system of rajayoga existed in India from ancient times. The highest authority in raja yoga is the ancient sage Pathanjali., who contributed the famous Yoga sutras.--Yoga Aphorism.

According to rajayoga the obstructions to perfection are fundamentally the agitations within the mind. These are called CHITHA VRITHIS. [ chitha means mind stuff and vrithi means waves upon it]. By controlling the activities of the mind and by keeping it calm, a Yogi( one who practise yoga) is able to control the inner nature.

Perfection in rajayoga includes 8 steps. You should always try to keep this because it is must for a is very good for a reiki practitioner.

1.YAMA

2.NIYAMA

3.ASANA

4.PRANAYAMA

5.PRATYAHARA

6.DHARANA

7.DHYANA

8.MEDITATION

When a person constantly practice these yoga techniques he reaches the stage called SAMADHI ( God realization).

Yama: include the observance of non injury, truth, non stealing, continence and the non receiving of obligatory gifts.

Niyama: include cleanliness, contentment, self discipline or austerity, regularity of study and practice and self surrender to a higher power.

Actually these are defensive measures developed by Pathanjali Maharshi. According to him whatever actions and thoughts help to establish the calmness of the mind are to be considered and those which distract from it are bad. These practices must be understood, appreciated, and sincerely followed by every student.

Asana: This is the art of yogic posture. Through the practice of correct posture, energy will move smoothly through the channels and physiological, psychological, and spiritual benefits are derived. By sitting straight, we allow the organs to function best. By keeping the spinal column erect the kundalini energy is not obstructed. When one is spiritually uplifted, this rises from basic chakra to the crown chakra. The practices which are intended to arouse that energy in the spinal column can only be undertaken when the yogis posture is perfected.

For meditation one should have a seat which is neither too hard or too soft. The waist, chest, neck and head should be held in a straight line, the body being supported by the diaphragm.

Pranayama: Prana means energy or Ki and Yama means control. The human body is the greatest receptacle for energy and when that energy is controlled, anything can be accomplished.

The most tangible expression of prana is found in our breathing. While it is linked with this most vital function of the body, it is not the breath. By regulating and controlling prana within himself, as expressed in his breathing, the yogi brings within his power the other phases of prana working in the microcosm. In that way he is gradually able to control his inner nature. Hence a student of rajayoga primarily practices to regulate and control the motion of his breathing. That primarily, is what is known as

Pratyahara: This is the art of centralization ( to bring back to oneself ). You must practice to concentrate your mind. Decide upon an idea, a picture or a symbol like OHM or reiki master symbol and try to fix your mind on that without thinking of anything else. It requires regular and constant practise to draw the mind together. One must practice regularly every day at the same time.

Dharana: it is the retention or holding together of the collected consciousness for some time. You have to hold the focused mind on the object of your meditation. Do not let it go away.

Dhyana or Meditation: A continuous stream of image makingis called meditation. When you are in the stage of dhyana, your mind will flow in a constant stream into the form of the object of meditation.

Samadhi: when we meditate on the self within, we draw the universe into ourselves. Or the self is expanded into the infinite. Samadhi is the result of the preceding three practices of prathyahara, dharana and dhyana. Samadhi means revelation. This is the stage of highest illumination. You know that you were always that divinity, & that perfection. The complete realization of that comes during the highest samadhi, which may be said to be the reaping of the harvest of rajayoga.

"By such constant and steadfast application, a person subdues the mind and attains the peace that resides in me, the peace that passeth understanding."
