Over the past fifty years, dozens of universities in the United States conducted numerous scientific and clinical studies and confirmed the benefits of ancient meditation techniques. Om chanting and meditation is a secular and mantra meditation method is having considerable healing benefits to reduce stress, strain and anxiety in life. It is the easiest and the safest method of meditation.

In the book Om Chanting and meditation, Dr. Amit Ray discussed the details of Om chanting methods. Amit brings his formidable talents to bear on one of the most strongest and most exciting possibilities of mantra meditation for benefits of common people.

The book is having four parts. In the fist part it discussed the background and details of the Om mantra Chanting methods and techniques. Topics like gamma waves, humming Om chanting are discussed.The benefits of the Om meditation and Om mantra Chanting are also explained.

The second part of the book deals with the Om and Life style. The author Amit Ray explained here, how the Divinity of the Om can be incorporated in daily life style. The topic like equanimity, silent prayer and loving to Om are describe nicely. Some of them may be very familiar, but some of them are almost unimaginable.

The third part of the book discussed eleven meditation techniques. These secular meditation techniques like earth touching, cosmic breathing, scanning the body with Om is really extraordinary.

The fourth part of the book deals with the ancient philosophical basis of these meditation techniques.

This is an extraordinary book on meditation. I liked the book.

  • “If you want to conquer the anxiety of life, live in the moment, live in the breath. - Amit Ray”
  • “Om is not just a sound or vibration. It is not just a symbol. It is the entire cosmos, whatever we can see, touch, hear and feel. Moreover, it is all that is within our perception and all that is beyond our perception. It is the core of our very existence. If you think of Om only as a sound, a technique or a symbol of the Divine, you will miss it altogether. - Amit Ray”
  • “Om is the mysterious cosmic energy that is the substratum of all the things and all the beings of the entire universe. It is an eternal song of the Divine. It is continuously resounding in silence on the background of everything that exists. - Amit Ray”
