Awaken the hidden powers of hearing by Nada Yoga-II
=Pt. ShriRam Sharma Acharya
The fine sensors of our ears, eyes, nose, tongue and other sense organs have direct linkage with the brain. Their functions are regulated by, and also contribute to the qualities of the brain and the mind. If one of these sensors stops or reduces using the power of the brain then its share of power is given to the other faculties. For example, born-blinds are often found to possess tremendous memory or gifted voice and expertise in music.... etc. One can, by determined efforts, direct the power of the mind so that it could be used by any one of the normal sense organs for the desired development of the specific faculties associated with it. The example of Kalidasa fits well in this context. His internal desire awakened the willpower and the sincere efforts thereby turned a ’dumb fellow’ into a great litterateur and poet of historical eminence. Many examples are also available in the field of physique and sports where extremely weak or physically sick persons transformed themselves into stout wrestlers simply by regularity and dedicated exercises of the mind and the body - proving thereby, the truth behind the quote ’practice makes a man perfect’. During the practice of Nada Yoga, one first tries training the ear(s) - to expand its hearing capacities - by fully concentrating the power of mind on this organ. By regular practice, the otherwise unused (sub) conscious power of the brain also awakens during this process and stimulates the subtle functional centers for extraordinary potentials of hearing. The ears can be trained to ’hear’ the ultra, infra and even subtler and cosmic levels of sound during the advanced stages of these sadhanas. The kar�a pishacini sadhana of the Tantra Science enables the masters of this sadhana to perceive the sounds from any desired place in this universe. Clairaudience is also a natural manifestation of spiritual sadhanas of Nada Yoga. The methods of awakening the subtle power of supernormal hearing are based on the above principle of fine perception of pure sound. This practice gradually leads to the perception and recognition of subtler levels of sound. Through the immense power of their mental concentration such sadhakas can easily access the energy centers in the cosmos and ’sense’ the signals of Nada emanating from there.
Simple Training for Nada Yoga The perceptions of sound (shabda), vision (rupa), taste (rasa), smell (gandha) and touch (sparsha) are manifested in the five sense organs via the five basic elements of Nature. Thus, every entity perceived by the sense organs basically arises from a subliminal, non-physical form (existing in cetan). In the Nada Yoga, one gradually perceives the physical, non-physical, sublime, supernatural forms of sound. All the sadhanas aimed at gaining control over different tanmatras (powers of perception) progress well in the sadhakas who possess strong will power, sound mental concentration and emotional depth and stability. For instance, in the sadhanas of gandha, the sadhaka first practices to smell the odors that inspire sacred emotions. He does so by physically smelling (through the nose) the substances like camphor, sandalwood or some flowers... etc for a few seconds and then closes the nose and tries to feel the same odor through mental concentration. Similar experiments are done on tasting with and without tongue during the rasa sadhanas. Our ears hear the sound of the syllables pronounced by our tongue. One may concentrate upon only the sound without attempting to recognize the syllable (or the word) and practice to differentiate between all variations in the type and tuning of such ’spoken’ sounds to analyze the association of their patterns with the meaning conveyed by the corresponding ’speech’. After continuing this practice with increasing focus and efficacy, he could develop the power to sense the finest level of variations in all kinds of ’sounds’ and to grasp the ’message’ (meaning) contained therein. The Yogis can understand any language and even the voices of the animals and the birds through such sadhanas of ’hearing’ the sonic vibrations.
