    The scientist, Dr.Hans Jenny in 1960 did experiments on the impact of sounds on various objects like water, various liquids and even plastic. A Japanese author, Masaru Emoto, did experiments on the effects of sound on the structure of water molecules. How positive and negative sounds impact the structure of the water molecules. He found that the positive sounds created beautiful crystals while the negative sounds had the opposite effect. Our body is 70% water so we can imagine how much our body is affected by the sound vibrations around us. Manthras are energy based sounds and produce positive vibrations in us and increase our prana shakthi or life force energy.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
