Aum matra dhyana

Sri Sadgurubhyoh Namah

VBT 40 :

Yasya kasyaapi varnasya poorvaantaav anubhaavayet,

shoonyayaa shoonyabhootosou shoonyaakaaraha pumaan bhavet

Translation :

Whover contemplates on the letters from first to last, as void, that sadhaka becomes void by meditation on the void.

Commentary :

AUM consists of three sounds 'Aa', 'Uu', and 'Mmm'. In the previous sutra we are told to meditate on Omkar with all the three sounds. Here in this sutra, it is told that meditation can be done on each matra separately with the shoonya (silence). Then, the sadhaka (practitioner) becomes the void (achieves silent mind).

How to do :

a) Chant the varna 'Aa' protractedly, and after the sound, be one with the silence for the period of time till your mind is not moving again. repeat the chanting for 18 times. The sound starts at base of spine and ends in head.

b) Chant the varna 'Uu' protractedly, and after the sound, be one with the silence for the period of time till your mind is not moving again. repeat the chanting for 18 times. The sound starts at middle of spine and ends at head.

c) Chant the varna 'Mmm' protractedly, and after the sound, be one with the silence for the period of time till your mind is not moving again. repeat the chanting for 18 times. The sound starts at eyebrow center and ends at top of head.

You can do a, b, c together in one session.
