EXPLORING THE SCIENCE OF AUM CHANTING THROUGH AYURVEDA, PHILOSOPHY OF UPANISHADS AND QUANTUM PHYSICS: A METICULOUS REVIEW

Abstract

Ayurveda is a holistic science which encompasses treatment protocols, categorized as   Daivyapashraya chikitsa (spiritual or energy medicine), Yuktivyapashraya chikitsa (dynamization of drugs or logic based treatment) and Satvavajay chikitsa (counseling). Out of these three, as per the commentary of Ayurved Dipika, classical text of Ayurveda, Daivyapashraya chikitsa includes use of yantra (cymatic geometry), aushadhi (medicines) and mani (gems) after exposing and imparting them with certain vibration energy of a particular resonance through chanting of Mantra and other techniques. Further exploration about Mantra primes us to AUM which is the primordial sound of the Universe. The aim of this study was, to bring into light, the science of quantum physics behind AUM Chanting through the discussion of Schumann Resonance, its effects on the body and the concept of energy, frequency and vibrations mentioned as LokagataVayu (Earth’s Geomagnetic field) and Sharirgata Vayu (neuronal impulses in human body)  via Praspanda (vibratory impulses) respectively in Ayurveda. Furthermore, this conceptual study will also embark to perceive the importance and role of AUM chanting as mentioned in Upanishads, as a healing tool through the wisdom of Ayurveda and Quantum Physics. Sacred texts of Hindu Philosophy of Upanishads, ancient Ayurveda texts and Quantum Physics were reviewed to explore the science of AUM chanting as a means of energy healing. Various databases like PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, DHARA were searched. After reviewing various literatures, this article reveals the mode of action of AUM chanting as majesty of energy healing of Daivyapashraya chikitsa mentioned in Ayurveda.
