Grateful for this guide

I'm grateful to Om Swami for this comprehensive guide to mantra sadhana. When so many spiritual organizations seem to want people to be dependent on them, to come back over and over for "the next step," Om Swami clearly has our best interest in mind, wanting us to be independent, empowered seekers. For a book that handles such complex topics, it's incredibly well organized and easy to follow. I'm excited to apply the practices in my life!Note:I first read the Kindle version. There's some editing and mechanical errors, such as the Gayatri mantra being misprinted and certain instructions in sadhanas pointing to non-existing sections (e.g. It says the Ganesha sadhana will have different ingredients for every night and says the different ingredients will be listed later on. There's no list that follows. It's likely that this is an editing mistake and the sadhana doesn't require different ingredients after all).I got the printed version to see if these mistakes were Kindle-only, but it's in the printed version too.Long story short--The Kindle and print version seem to be the same, so don't bother doing what I did.

Result of a Lifetime of Research And Experiments...

The subject of mantras has historically received a wide variety of reactions. There are the nonbelievers (who perhaps would like to be addressed as ones with a scientific temperament). To them mantras are an archaic, irrational and irrelevant malady of the society. There are the agnostics, who at most are intrigued by this occult art but won’t delve deeper. There are the zealots who unquestioningly accept it as an ancestral heritage and don’t see a need to evaluate the rationale behind these practices. And then there’s the author of this book, Om Swami, who begs to differ….The Ancient Science of Mantras is a result of a lifetime of research and experiments from a scientist who won’t settle for anything less than empirical evidence. This work will startle you with the conviction of the author. His authority over the subject is undeniable. Add to that his powerful communication style and his relentless pursuit for the truth, and you have in front of you a compendium rich in analogies, analysis and explanations that appeal to the modern mind.In his inimitable style, the author first lays the foundation with a captivating and colorful background. He recognizes that some of this is not easy to digest for several of his readers and in anticipation of this he proactively answers all the questions that pop up in our head. The second half of the book is a manual of sorts. One where the author has provided a step-by-step guide to get to the desired goal. This is the section that separates the men from the boys. Once you get into this section - you can only be in one of two camps. Either you decide to go for the prize, or you are clear that this is not for you in the foreseeable future. Either way, you won’t be left with a doubt in your mind.Long story short, the author lays out the path of mantra for you - the benefits, the trials, the tribulations. You may or may not pursue it. But this is the ONLY book that you would ever need to read to find that out. Period.

For a novice like a medical intern on call

This book is a manual for walking on a path of self awakening. Many in medical profession will recall the first night of being on call. You are worried, concerned and apprehensive. You have the knowledge but NO experience. But you feel reassured by a small book that you carry in your pocket, and it tells you how to treat various maladies. For a novice like a medical intern on call, for a devotee on a call to find his Rama", this book tells you all the techniques, precautions,almost like a senior surgeon guiding an intern during complex operation. But here the operation is on "Self" to get to know "ReaI I ", the instruments are mantra and swami ji is senior surgeon. Swami ji tells one how to reach: "तू तू करता तू भया, मुझमें रही न हूं। बारी तेरे नाम पर, जित देखूं तित तूं।।". I recommend this book highly for any spiritually oriented person who is interested in ancient Indian wisdom, to have a step wise manual for spiritual awakening. Every book by swami ji thoroughly researched, full of easy to understand examples, and sprinkled with swami ji's wisdom,charm and love. The narration is so beautiful and realistic you feel as if it happening in front of your eyes. If words have power, swami words do, for you get so engrossed that within the lines of the book, you see Shiva, you feel Ma Ganga, you touch Gyatri. Please do not doubt me if I tell you, Swami ji is Tulsi, Dinkar, ShivMangal Sing Suman,Galib, and Wordsworth...all combined in one. Please read his other books like "A fistful of love"...you would be convinced.

Pages wrongly cut.

The quality of the book and its contents are great but the edition that reached me was obviously the publisher/printer's issue. I hope they fix it soon.

It's not a book, its a all you need to know manual for Hindu practitioners

This book is so full of details that I felt like S someone is teaching me personally. It's full of knowledge, steps, and practical applications. I wish I could enter to meet him in person and make him my guru. However, until that time, I will treat this book as a perfect guide. A couple of topics are still ambiguous, like what mantra Siddhi means, why is needed, etc, but he touched upon it slightly. Rest you will have to figure it out by yourself.

No application

It's a comprehensive book about procedures but there is no application part as usually supposed to be in mantra books. This book just gives the viniyog mantra but not the viniyog itself.
