Aum is medicine, not just mantra

Chennai: Abdul Khader chants ‘Aum’ 30 times during his walk at
Gill Nagar park every morning and swears it has significantly helped
in healing his acute arthritic pain.“I used to pray seated in a chair because
of acute knee pain from arthritis acquired from long hours of doing
business standing. Thanks to the yoga asanas, breathing exercises
and the chanting of ‘Aum’, I am now able to kneel on the mat for my namaz
five times a day,” said the 50-year-old grocer of MMDA colony in the city,
talking excitedly about the wholesome healing experienced at the
government yoga and naturopathy college hospital near Anna arch.“When the doctors explained that chanting ‘Aum’ is not religious but
provides therapeutic gain, I readily agreed to follow that. I am happy
I did it,” Khader told Deccan Chronicle.Dr Kanimozhi, assistant professor of yoga, says she had prescribed ‘Aum’
chanting for even cancer patients, along with other naturopathy medicines.
“The chant controls the secretion of stress hormones and acts as a pain
reliever. It is scientific as the chant creates a neuro and psycholinguist
effect while a positive aura forms around your body when you do it.”There are several patients at the hospital — including Muslims and
Christians — who have benefited from chanting ‘Aum’, prescribed along
with yoga asanas and nature healers, and gained relief from ailments such
as pain, insomnia, stress, stuttering and other speech difficulties.The case of 55-year-old Edwin, a senior army officer tormented by
ankylosing spondylitis for over a year, is another example. He has healed
from chanting ‘Aum’ and practising asanas and breathing exercises.
“Edwin’s case sheet reveals that after two months of practice, he could
flex his joints and his sleep cycle got normal,” said Dr P. Prabhu, expressing
happiness that more and more patients are turning to ‘Aum’ and other
natural healers.
