"Why Mantras? The body is nothing but compressed energy, and this energy responds to vibrations. This energy is so subtle and sensitive that any thought, idea or emotion can alter its nature…..There are certain mantras which can vibrate the energies of the body at certain frequencies and ranges...to demagnetise the energies of the body, strengthen them and to awaken their creative qualities.” Swami Niranjanananda
