any times people ask me if the sounds are only for Hindus, and my response is emphatically, “No!” These sounds are genuinely sacred sounds that exist, and anyone who meditates deeply has the potential to encounter them independently of any exposure to Hindu material. I want to make them available to everyone, regardless of any particular religion. My desire is to give these sounds to anyone who seeks Light and higher consciousness. Share them with others.Sylvia Brown and Lakshmi’s Mantra
Sylvia Browne is one of America’s most celebrated psychic and spiritual teachers today. She channels a spiritual guide, Francine, who aides her in psychically seeing the past, present and the future with such accuracy that it “blows the minds” of people everywhere. Sylvia also uses her own altered levels of consciousness to predict the past and the future. Sylvia helps police to investigate criminals with great accuracy. She uses her psychic abilities to help people heal from serious diseases. She puts people in touch with their deceased loved ones and helps people to unravel their psychological problems through past-life regressions.
Sylvia is able to visit what she calls as “the other side.” The That’s the end of your pain and suffering. When you don’t have
a flesh body, it doesn’t hurt. You won’t need food or sex, money or housing. This is total liberation. The rest of humanity will have some interim relief, but will have to come back to work their way.
Ending Mediocrity
Most people experience one or more of the following:
You wake up in the morning and have one of the following moods:
1. Happy.
2. Lousy and frustrated.
3. Flat, or in the routine work mode.
During the course of your day, you may fluctuate between moods. The demons—negative forces—will not let your mind stay in a happy state nor allow you to think about an outrageous life of abundant health, wealth, happiness, and peace.
Whenever you feel depressed, say the mantra, Thiru Neela Kantam. Keep a flower pot on your desk and pluck a flower every three to four hours and infuse it with the mantra Thiru Neela Kantam, saying the affirmation, “I am ending mediocrity.”
Every day, put a red flower in front of my picture and watch the magical changes in the flower and your life.

of my mantra, however.) Apparently and sadly their divine reso-nance gets drowned out all too often by the noise of our conscious minds here on earth.”—Life on the Other Side by Sylvia Browne, p.111.
Sylvia Browne’s channeled information is very useful.
Shreem, which is Sylvia Browne’s own mantra, is also Sanskrit mantra for Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth. Similarly, the mantra Kiri is the sound for Kali, the ferocious goddess who kills demons. I am sure that from what I know of the writings of Sylvia Browne, that she, herself, is not aware of the Hindu background of the mantras. Some of the explanations of the mantras that come from Sylvia are quite profound and esoteric.
For instance Sylvia says that the mantra is the sound of “affirma-tion and ascent.” Very few people will understand the depth of that statement, and this is not the place to discuss it.
However, it is interesting to follow Sylvia’s thoughts about the Hall of Tones. She says that mantras will put you in touch with your genetic lineage. As a matter of fact, you can accom-plish a lot of your material goals through the use of mantras.
The success of Transcendental Meditation worldwide is due to the use of mantras. Sylvia, herself, has given a guided medita-tion to find out anyone’s mantra. If you can’t find your own mantra, you can use specific mantras for a specific result.
Need for Universal Religion
Religion is a mysterious force. It is simultaneously both posi-tive and negaposi-tive. It gives peace to the soul, but at the same time it also destroys peace. Religion is responsible for great civiliza-tions and awesome architecture, but conflicts among religions destroy not only those cultural monuments but also the human race itself. Religion’s power comes from its total irrationality and a blind concept of loyalty. Almost every religion, except a few Eastern ones, claim that each has The Truth and every other religion or faith is misguided. Often an argument is put forth
Chapter 17: You Do Not Have to be Hindu to Use This Material
other side is the domain to which a spirit retires after death or temporarily visits during sleep… It is a realm that appears to have no physicality of its own although its form is perceptible to spiritual sight. As a spirit, Sylvia has unraveled a wealth of mate-rial about the other side.
Sylvia’s experiences provide validity to some of the teachings of Hinduism. For instance, the practice of mantras is a very important tool in connecting to the divine within Hindu worship. Each god and goddess has his or her own mantra. In fact, the mantra is the very essence, the body of the divine, so to speak. The mantra is often a two to three syllable sound that carries the energy of a god or goddess. In Sanskrit, the mantra is known as a seed (bija). Just as a seed carries the whole tree within itself, a mantra carries the deity’s presence and qualities within its structure. The mantra practice is based on the theory that if one continually chants the mantra, either quietly or out loud, the deity is expected to appear before the practitioner. The theories about mantras are indeed very complex. However, everyone familiar with mantras knows this much — to get help from a particular deity, you have to chant the deity’s mantra.
The important question to ask is, “Do mantras belong to Hinduism or are they a universal, transcendental phenom-enon?” From reading Sylvia Browne’s writings, it becomes evident that mantras belong to all souls in general. In her book, Sylvia talks about her visits to the Hall of Tones on the other side. The following is her description of the Hall of Tones:
The Hall of Tones
“When each of our souls was first created, we were given our own individual Mantra, a specific word or series of syllables, to which our spirits will eternally resonate. Every mantra starts with Om, which is a word of affirmation and ascent, followed by a tone that is typically made up of two syllables. Mine is
‘Shreem.’ (I didn’t light up with instant recognition at the sound Life Changing Mantras: Tools from the Other Side
I am glad that in the some countries, a political system evolved separating the church from the state. Such a separation is indeed the beginning of a New World Order. I pray that the Formless and Nameless Almighty will do some miracles to make this separation happen all over the world.
In the final analysis, the Ideal would be to define the Almighty as Light and Love. This is what I attempted to do in my last life as Swami Ramalingam. I had tremendous resistance from the Hindus who thought I was crazy to deny the Hindu gods. Here I am, again preaching the same message:
Arut perum jyoti arut perum Jyoti Taniperum karunai
Arut perum Jyoti.
The mantra is saying:
All knowingness (God) is an illumined Light.
This Light is also compassion.)
I think the above definition of God would help to lay the foundation for a Universal Religion. I would be delighted if the United Nations would consider promoting this World Religion of Love and Light.
New Mind for the New Millennium
During the past three hundred years or so, science and tech-nology have revolutionized human growth. People live longer.
The discoveries and inventions in the field of medicine have lead to pain reduction, automobiles, air-conditioners, and ever so many other gadgets that have, no doubt, made our lives easier. We are still in the process of finding out more things.
However, modern science has failed in one major respect and that is “looking inside the mind machine.” Scientists have stayed away from asking questions about consciousness. For them it is a gray area and belongs to philosophers. It is very important that during the new millennium that we pay atten-tion to the mind machine.
that there can’t be more than one Truth. “There is one Truth and there are several other misrepresentations of Truth,” they say.
When I was in graduate school, a professor of anthropology gave a definition of religion as it is understood in the contempo-rary world. He said, “Religion is what I practice and ‘cult’ is what my enemy practices.” The Jews thought that the non-Jews (whom they called Gentiles) worshipped a false God, and to this day they don’t think that Jesus Christ was a messiah from Yahweh, although Christianity became a major world religion.
The Moslems think that there is no God but Allah. Sects within Hinduism think either Vishnu or Siva is the supreme God. The Buddha said that there was no God, but unfortunately he himself was elevated to Image worship along with a host of other Buddhist Gods and Deities.
In our contemporary civilization, the common man cares less for God or religion. The attendance in church/synagogue/temple/mosque is relatively small when compared with the population who are indifferent to religion.
The danger for society comes from the believers, particularly the fundamentalists. If we objectively look at the fundamentalist movements in religion, it will be apparent they are the trouble-makers. They have very little tolerance towards other faiths and live in the belief that they alone have “got it right.” More often than not, fundamentalists are obsessed about their respective Gods and spend their entire lives ridiculing other faiths and trying to convert non-believers
Although most religions speak of tolerance and acceptance of other faiths, there are deep problems in putting this concept into practice. One’s faith is ingrained in the blood and even penetrates one’s bone marrow. It is emotionally impossible for a Jew to accept Jesus, or a Moslem to accept Krishna. As I pointed out earlier, religion is irrational; you and I are tied to a partic-ular faith because of past life memories.
The New Technology Will be Based on Spiritualizing Matter and Vice Versa
At some time in the future, we may buy sound software to enhance our mathematical skills or athletic abilities. I have tested the value of the sounds in this book over a period of two decades in this lifetime and know first hand that they work. I have put them into CDs and videotapes. This is the easiest way to share them with large numbers of people, as I cannot travel to every city and speak personally to all the people I would like to help. But you can do homestudy with enlightened tools, and I will be with you through this book, the CDs, the videotapes, and any other products I devise in the future. And of course, I visit people on the dream plane and am always available for instant contact inwardly to sincere seekers.
What is going to give the world happiness is a new tech-nology. This new technology will use a higher intelligence. This higher intelligence is not carved in logic; it is a higher science and a higher technology that will find a practical application of Einstein’s theory of relativity.
This new technology will give us the missing link between energy and matter, between spirit and matter. We will know the clue of how we can make this conversion. Right now it is only theoretical and mathematical probability. We do not know the methodology by which we can convert energy into matter or matter into energy without a lot of destruction.
Once we know how, we will have infinite freedom. The destiny of Science and Technology in the new millennium will be in this direction. I will play my role in giving to this new technology to the world and this new science that will make our lives easier. I am hopeful that many of you reading this book will use the tools and experience incontestable, positive results.
As I have said before, the foundation for this new science and tech-nology will be based on practical wisdom that has come to us through the Siddhas of southern India. This tradition goes back to Lemurian Chapter 17: You Do Not Have to be Hindu to Use This Material
Why do we have to pay attention to our mind? It is through our mind and intellect that we have evolved from ignorant conditions to intelligent life. I want to maximize the ability of the brain/mind domain. Right now the brain/mind domain for most people is at the lowest level. The brain/mind of these people are producing stupid thoughts nearly in the range of eighty to ninety percent. We have to stop the brain/mind from producing stupid thoughts.
I define stupid thoughts as: Unproductive bio-energy that creates unrewarding, unproductive, and destructive thoughts.
Currently the brain/mind domain is full of Bio-energy fields with dominant signals of poverty and pessimism.
I have a new view of the brain/mind domain. In fact, my theory is very old, and I have modernized it for our contempo-rary use. I can get into a very complex and complicated discussion about it. But that is not my intention here. For now, I want to be very practical and will give hands-on technologies.
This book is based on this Theory of Mind: Ninety percent of our mind is composed of language. If you pull out language from our mind, there will be very little or no mind at all. Our next question is, “What is mind?” Language is a combination of sound and meaning. At a very deep level of the language (pre-thought level), meaning merges in with the sound in an emotional-ideational complex. Changing the mind then involves changing the sounds within the mind.
So, the bottom line contention is that if a person is rich, he or she has prosperity sounds in the brain/mind complex whether from this lifetime or an earlier one. Conversely, if a person is poor, his brain/mind is ingrained with poverty sounds.
This is a rule of thumb which applies to every area of life, not just wealth, but also health, happiness and enlightenment. This theory could have great impact on education, commerce and politics.
Life Changing Mantras: Tools from the Other Side
Crystal science is a science that belonged to the older civiliza-tions. We have to revive that science because it is truly going to give us infinite freedom.
Back to the Future
You won’t have to sweat so much. The message for the millennium is that we need to go to the past not to the future!
Not the dim past wherein our consciousness was polluted by logic, material principles, negative vibrations that create doubt and so on, but a more ancient past of very ancient wisdoms. We all know that our modern science and technology is only a few hundred years old. Within these few hundred years what we have done is to understand the laws of nature and to develop a science and technology that would appear to benefit our lives.
However, we have not eliminated suffering. We have not created anything perfect, everything is relative. Even with our laser surgery, still we have to go through surgery. It may or may not work. We are finding it difficult to deal with the process of aging the pain created by matter.
Matter has dual consciousness: one is tremendous power to allure, it gives you a sense of false happiness, and every time you fall prey to this false sense of happiness, there is a price we pay—we are sucked more and more into material laws. Seldom do we understand the freedom that can happen if you follow other principles, metaphysical principles, the principles of the spirit. We have come so far to disbelieve anything that is not strictly limited to a material description and finite experience.
It is not convincing for the scientifically-oriented to natu-rally believe in God or Spirit. The life of the spirit is virtually non-existent in their lives, and it is important that we have to stop here and analyze if our attitude to life and our approaches to science and technology have given us happiness or suffering.
It makes tremendously sense to us on a theoretical level that energy or spirit is much more desirable, is much more intelli-times.
For me, they are timeless. The Siddhas have existed forever.
Agastiya whose incarnation I am in this lifetime has incarnated seventeen times. The historians get confused about the works of Agastiya; they look at the numerous volumes and volume attrib-uted to Agastiya. They are all written at different time periods, and yet the Tamil of each is “contemporary.” The historians wonder if they are all really by Agastiya or interpolations of other texts. They wonder if other people wrote something and then later said this was written by Agastiya, so that their text will carry some weight. It may have happened in some cases, I don’t rule it out, but then it is also true that Agastiya himself reincarnated several times, seventeen times or more, and during each time period he revealed a knowledge, and he used the contemporary Tamil of that time in order to communicate to people.
These literatures contain the clue, the missing link, that is between matter and energy. All other sciences, all other tech-nologies will be open to revision as we incorporate a new, more profound understanding. We will have to drop off a lot of our mental constructs, our physical laws, in order to understand this higher Science.
I was reading Jean Dickson, and a guy who wrote the book on Jean Dickson had been a newspaper columnist. He records the predictions made by her. Jean Dickson had a crystal ball that she looked into. The ball showed her the future. Now I am referring to this because what is going to be created is similar to the crystal ball. The question for us is to ask, “if Jean Dickson could do it, why not others?” Is there anything special within the brain of Jean Dickson? Apparently she had the ability to connect with the crystal ball. The crystal is an energy vortex—it can carry and be a medium of great electromagnetic power. You
