How to hear the Anahata Sounds

Posted by Teachings of Swami Sivananda on April 10, 2011 at 2:00pm
Hear the sounds through the right ear. Change your concentration from the gross sound to the subtle. The mind will soon be absorbed in the sound. You will get knowledge of hidden things when you hear the seventh. You will hear Para-Vak when you hear the eighth sound. You will develop the divine eye when you hear the ninth. You will attain Para Brahman when you hear the tenth.

The first sound is chini, the second is chin-chini, the third is the sound of a bell, the fourth is like that of a conch. The fifth is like that of a lute. The sixth is like that of a cymbal. The seventh is like that of a flute. The eighth is like that of a drum. The ninth is like that of a Mridanga. The tenth is like that of thunder.

Practice of Anahata Nada Yoga – listening to the inner sounds

Posted by Teachings of Swami Sivananda on April 8, 2011 at 2:00pm
Sit on Padmasana or Siddhasana or Sukhasana. Close the ears with the thumb. This is Shanmukhi Mudra or Vaishnavi Mudra. Now hear the music of Anahata sounds. You will have wonderful concentration. Abandon all worldly thoughts. Subdue your passion. Become indifferent to all sensual objects. Practise Yama (self-restraint), or Sadachara (right conduct); concentrate on the sound which annihilates the mind.
