An inspiring conversation with Vivek Verma, a Mantra and sacred sound healer from Mumbai, in which he shares some of his own experiences with himself as well as his students, in context with the application of Mantras for wellbeing in all planes of our life.

Vivek Verma, is a Mantra practitioner since childhood, a singer and Vedic voice master from Mumbai, helps people overcome stress, burnout, and lack of focus through the transformative power of Vedic mantras and ancient sound practices.

It is possible to use timeless Vedic Sound to address modern mental and physical distress, soothe the mind and work on one's inner needs.

Vivek was born into a family deeply rooted in music; trained in Indian classical music by his father, a music lecturer at the faculty of music, University of Delhi, and later by Shri L. K. Pandit, he developed a strong foundation in the art of vocal music; and also shares it for the benefit of others who feel a connection with this path.

Vivek points out the importance of proper learning of pronunciations of mantras and minimal aspects of Sanskrit language. Being also a musician, he explains the strength and power of Indian music applied in Mantras.

It was a pleasure to interview him and gain so much insight from his experience and knowledge.

"Recently one of my students told me she was suffering from severe anxiety and I taught her a mantra, combined with a few meditation techniques, which I asked her to practice before sleeping at night. A mantra that connects you directly to God. Within a week, she felt that her anxiety was gone."

A great contribution from the hidden Voices of Mantra from India, cradle of this ancient powerful science.

Everything around us is vibration. Then, it is our choice to come in contact with higher quality of vibrations which can help and uplift our overall way of life.

From the very beginning of my childhood, I was around an atmosphere where spiritual dimension was already adopted in all the generations – from my great-grandmother to my youngest cousin living in the family. So, born and brought up in India, one is always surrounded by this culture of Sanatan Dharma (Hindu Dharma) – surrounded by these sounds of Mantras, Aartis, chanting, Kirtan, various ceremonies all the time happening in the family or community. If one is a little sensitive, one starts embracing it and enjoying it also.

Since always it was clear to me that I wanted to get involved with that kind of music which can uplift a person’s state of being, music which can uplift a person beyond the level of the mind. Because we already live at the level of the mind, so if thru the music one is only supported to the level of the mind, then there is no upliftment. So, this has always been my inspiration, and for that there’s no other better source of Sound than Mantra.

Divine energies are present all the time, but they are waiting for us to invoke them, to invite them, to access them – then they can help where it’s needed.

Podcast Interviewers: G. S. Sharma & Rajeev Kumar (Hyderabad, India @i_am_the_vashisth ) Thank you all.

We live in the world of vibration. Everything which exists around us is vibration, and those vibrations are affecting us - even when we can't perceive it, a particular vibration can affect a person's physiology and psychology.

Sound is vibration and we are surrounded by various different sounds - and knowingly or unknowingly they have a certain effect on us. Some sounds have a positive effect and some not so much. So it is the sound itself which is creating a positive, less positive, or negative effect on us. This is the principle behind Mantra science and how Mantra (= a certain sattvic sound) can go so much deeper in our system and help us at different levels.

Our cells are able to listen; then, if we subject our cells to a sound of a certain quality, definitely the cells' health will be enhanced, keeping the body/mind mechanism in tune.

Ayurveda is also connected to this aspect of Sound, as it is one of the first and only medical practices which went all the way down to the roots, as a lot of issues that appear in the body, have the roots in the mind. So ayurveda would treat the problem at the level of the mind, if the root was found there, and then consequently heal the physical plane. And one of the key tools used in Ayurveda is sound, because where the medicine cannot reach, the Sound can reach.
