“…Om chanting is a powerful means of purifying, strengthening, and awakening the elements of human being (Saraswati & Stevenson, 2017). It stabilizes the brain, keeps the mind steady, refreshes all the seven energy centers (i.e., root, sacral, throat, heart, third eye, crown, and the higher octave of the root) (Gurjar & Ladhake, 2016), and reduces stress and anxiety (Gurjar & Ladhake, 2016; Harne et al., 2019).…”

Introduction Psychological suffering is commonly found among stroke survivors, particularly in the acute stage. Objectives This study aimed to explore the phenomenon of psychological sufferings of stroke survivors and analyze the applicability of Samkhya philosophy for enhancing their psychological wellbeing. Methods A qualitative study was conducted at a university hospital of Nepal among 16 stroke patients in the acute stage, selected by purposive sampling. Data collection was done by using semi-structured interviews. Data were analyzed using deductive content analysis. Additionally, the analysis of Samkhya philosophy was done by using descriptive literature review from online databases. Results Stroke survivors in the acute stage experienced psychological sufferings, which were analyzed as intrinsic, extrinsic, and divine based on Samkhya philosophy. The intrinsic sufferings were (a) shock and denial with a sudden loss of normal body function, (b) worry about the possibility of lifelong disability and future life, and (c) fear and concern about the consequences of the disease to self. The extrinsic sufferings consisted of (a) worry when thinking about dependent family members and (b) feelings of making trouble or being a burden to the family members because of their dependency. The divine suffering consisted of feeling of being a burden caused by distress resulting from an inability to perform religious rituals. Samkhya philosophy explains the methods of relieving these sufferings by using yoga practice. Conclusion Psychological sufferings are prevalent among Nepalese stroke survivors, and Samkhya philosophy might be one of suitable strategies to relieve these sufferings of the Hindu stroke survivors in the acute stage, and promote their psychological wellbeing. This study recommends integrating yoga in caring for stroke patients in the acute stage to promote psychological wellbeing.

The word 'Meditation' comes from the Latin root "meditatum", which means "to ponder". Meditation is a technique for resting the mind leading to peace, happiness, bliss, and self-realization. There are a large number of meditation techniques in the world. Mantra-based meditation is one such technique in which a sound, word or phrase (called "mantra") is recited either aloud or silently during meditation. It has been established by the experience as well as the experiments that the correct frequency of mantra sound, along with the correct intent, helps the practioner oxygenate the brain, reduce heart rate, blood pressure, get cured by many ailments, create calm brainwave activity and achieve immunity from outside mental disturbances. The theoretical and the experimental aspects of mantra-based meditation technique are analyzed scientifically in this paper. The primary aim of this paper is to make the larger number of people, including the intelligentsia, aware of this wonderful gift of Almighty so that they themselves could try practicing meditation for their own benefit and consequently transmit peaceful vibrations to the society in this age of planetary turmoil.
