The yogis then combined these powerful sounds into mantras which are attuned to the universal rhythms of the cosmos. For thousands of years, these mantras were never written down, lest they be misused by unworthy power-seekers, but were passed down directly from Guru to disciple. Even today, they must be learned personally from a qualified teacher of Gayatri Pariwar; for different individuals, with different entitative rhythms, will receive different mantras for concentration. Thus, people of all nationalities, regardless of their language, will use Sanskrit mantras for meditation, because Sanskrit is the universal language for self-realization.
The repeated chanting of the subtle inner music of the mantras (the "incantative rhythm") in meditation vibrates the Chakras and stills the restlessness of the mind:
Gradually, the mediator's entitative rhythm slows down in resonance with the mantra.
Finally, it is transformed into the straight line cosmic rhythm, and merges into the eternally still and serene sea of Cosmic Consciousness, the goal of all Yoga practice.
Brain-Waves: Recent scientific discoveries have shed new light on this ancient yoga process. The brain composed of billions of nerve cells creating tiny electric currents, emanates subtle electro-magnetic waves or "brain waves" which change with the change in consciousness. These brain waves may be detected by attaching the sensitive electrodes of EEG machines to a person's head, which picks up these rhythms and records them on a graph. In this way, scientists have discovered several different types of brain waves, which are emitted in different states of consciousness.
"Normal" Restless Consciousness: The brain wave produced during normal waking consciousness is called the beta wave - a rapid (13 or more cycles per second) irregular rhythm:
It is a graphic manifestation of the agitated and restless state of the agitated person's mind.
Alpha Waves: Serene and Alert: During a state of calm alertness, however, the brain gives off a completely different types of wave, the alpha wave - much slower (about 8 cycle per second) and steady and rhythmic, but of higher "amplitude" or energy.
Although the mind is calm and balanced, it is not weak or passive; it is serene but extremely alert. During experiences of mental telepathy, or creative inspiration, alpha waves are emanated from the brain.
