 1. Super Science Of Namokar Mantra

What are Mantras? Does they are created on the base of

knowledge or Friction? Does Mantras have some super science
behind them, which makes them work? The experiments in the
efficacy of a mantra (spell and incantation) have been going on
not only among Indian religions and castes but among the
religions of every country in the world. It is a unique discovery by
Indian rishis and sages.
 2. Super Science Of Namokar Mantra

The scriptures which describe these mantras are not the result of
their wayward imagination but they are the result of their sadhana
and inner experiences. This mantra vidya (knowledge of mystical
formulae) owes its origin, development and success to India and it
was from here that it gradually spread across the world. This
Indian vidya or what we call Indian science of mantras is complete
in itself. There is no exaggeration or distortion of facts and I can
say emphatically that they have a scientific basis.
