THE WAVE OF BLISS
communicated well and, among other things, helped me understand why the sounds of mantras are beneficial.
Shortly before I listened to Mitra's tapes, I had had a wonderful experience. I had used a tape Pramoda gave me (where she chants the mantras from 'To Light One Candle') to practise Aum namo arihantanam. I would play it over and over again as I practised the sounds and rhythms. While listening to Pramoda and chanting the mantra with her, I felt such a profound sense of peace. My body and mind became relaxed and quiet. This was the first time I experienced chanting. Thank you Pramoda for this gift."
