hindus and buddhists believe everything in the universe is a vibration, including thoughts and emotions, our consciousness is our true identity, just like the waves on the ocean, every experience is a movement in this consciousness, maya or the illusion in life is the belief that experience is reality, but everything is god, sansara is nirvana, harmonic sounds can bring us in touch with the essence of our being
there is an ancient sanskrit proverb that says, the words of rishis and enlightened ones are immediately translated into experience, sanskrit is an ancient language, it predates written text, the language was designed to be spoken and not written, the sages felt sound being a vibration was better suited than the written alphabet to communicate reality which in itself is a vibration, the word om being the master vibration, words in sanskrit are composed to manifest the actual thing represented by the word, sounds in these chants are absorbed into the body, and converted into consciousness, this is when one gets soaked in energy, and transformation happens, sing with all your heart, elevate consciousness, be the divine already present within you
