check out this stunning futuristic Mahābhārata art by Vamchi Vams!
the tendency with modern Mbh-inspired artwork is for it to still adhere to 'traditional' / historic conventions and for these to be seen as more 'accurate' renderings, but, especially with the war books (parvas), i'd maintain that one needs only to skim-read to see that the futuristic artwork most likely is a more 'accurate' representation of how the war is said to be fought. it would not be an exaggeration to claim that the astras (supranatural weapons imbued with mantras) used by warriors such as Arjuna, Karṇa & Aśvatthāmā functioned like nuclear weapons. i personally adore futuristic Mbh artwork because in my opinion it enlivens the epic & grounds it in our present as a timeless dynamic work and not as an ancient lifeless poem.
i do wonder if it is the inescapable archaic tone of 99% of the Mbh translations from sanskrit (which my dear friend Avi Sato pointed to me once & now i can't unsee!) that which contributes to this overall impression that traditional renditions * must * be more accurate. perhaps. i for one would love to see a truly futuristic translation and interpretation of the Mbh (both in literature & in film / TV) that also follows the narrative thread faithfully. might take it upon myself.

on the banks of Gaṅgā
you held me all night, my Lord unseen to the eye, your grace, a lover's touch, wrapped my skin unheard to the ears, your name, my japa, vibrated through my braincells
Monsoon One, do you long for me as fully as i long for you? do you call on me as ardently as i call on you? you do, don't you, my Lord? i am not alone in this quest
for every step i take towards you, you take two towards me for every tear i spill in yearning for you, you ignite vīrya in my skin tissue for every test of yours that i fail, you yank me freer of delusion
i see it now, Hari. you have been pulling me by my hair and hands to you. it was all you. it was always all you.
if i run to you as fast as my legs can take me, will you meet me halfway?
you will, won't you, my Lord?
🦚 Happy Kṛṣṇa Janmāṣṭamī! 🙏 poem from my upcoming collection "the Monsoon One and the pilgrim". 💛

What is the scientific evidence that chanting mantras helps you achieve your goals and protects you from evil powers/spirits?
Yes, there are many scientific evidences to prove that chanting is effective. Let us see few of them.
Research carried out by Alfred Tomatis, the hearing expert from the French Academy of Science and Medicine, who pioneered the Electronic Ear and championed sound therapy, found that chanting sounds have a therapeutic effect on the body. It soothes all our bodily systems and activates the body’s natural healing process. It also plays a part in reversing heart disease.
According to a study at the Cleveland University, USA, the rhythmic tones involved in chanting create a melodious effect in the body called the neuro-linguistic effect (NLE). When we know the meaning of the mantra we are reciting it creates a psycholinguistic effect (PLE) on the body. The NLE and PLE effects are byproducts of the production and spread of curative chemicals in the brain. The research concludes that this is the real reason why chanting provokes curative effects in us.
A study by Dr Alan Watkins, senior lecturer in neuroscience at Imperial College London, revealed that while chanting our heart rate and blood pressure dip to their lowest in the day. Doctors say that even listening to chants normalises adrenalin levels and brainwave pattern and lowers cholesterol levels.
Using chants as part of our exercise regimen helps facilitate movement and body flow.
Neuroscientist Marian Diamond from the University of California found that chanting helps block the release of stress hormones and increases immune function. It also keeps our muscles and joints flexible for a long time.
Studies prove that making chants a part of our daily yoga can help achieve greater weight loss in a shorter span of time.
Another study, published in the American Journal of Psychiatry in 2018, found that "mantram" repetition therapy — which involves silently repeating a spiritually-related word or phrase selected by each individual from a recommended list — was effective in treating veterans diagnosed with military-related post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Other research has found that chanting increased cerebral blood flow in areas of the brain known to deteriorate in Alzheimer's patients.
Dr Alan Watkins says when we chant the vibration of the sound calms the nervous system and a profound sense of peace is obtained. It also de-stresses and facilitates better concentration and memory power. Further, according to Dr Watkins, chanting promotes a sense of well-being and helps us bond better with people around us, especially when practised in a group.
Chanting eliminates negative thoughts so we can enjoy whatever we do and achieve success easily.
Alfred Tomatis highlights that chanting aids in getting over addictions like smoking, alcohol and drugs. Another study done by Sethi, Golechha, Deshpande, & Rani, in 1991 showed that those who were affiliated with alcoholism who did chanting every morning and evening for 6 weeks had a significant decrease in delta and alpha brain waves which created feelings of mental tranquility.
One study by Lavretsky in 2011 showed that when people did chanting they actually had an increase in cellular telomerase activity… which slows our cellular aging process. That is pretty amazing!
A study done by Gupta and Bhatt in 2013 showed that those who did chanting on a regular basis had more feelings of well-being, less stress, and they had a better mental aptitude.
According to the results of a 2016 study by Perry, Professor Bill Thompson and Dr Vince Polito, also from Macquarie University, chanting the universal mantra "Om" for 10 minutes improved attention, contributed towards a positive mood and increased feelings of social cohesion. The study also found that a positive effect and altruism increased more following vocal chanting than silent chanting.
Professor Bill Thompson says "Vocal group chanting provides more opportunity than silent chanting for deep connection with other people, and this might help to explain the enhanced impact on altruism." Thompson further stresses that while chanting can bring a range of psychological and cognitive benefits, it will only work if people are genuinely interested in the practice, and enjoy it.
Dedicated research on Chanting (Published in International Journal of Yoga)
The research was published in the International Journal of Yoga. They took two groups and had one group “OM” chant whilst the other group made an “ssssss” sound. Whilst making the sounds they performed a functional MRI (fMRI) which monitors brain activity. They could then see what effect the sounds have on the brain compared to a normal resting state.
It was found that, in the group that chanting “OM”, there was significant deactivation seen in the amygdala, anterior cingulate gyrus, hippocampus, insula, orbitofrontal cortex, parahippocampal gyrus and thalamus. These are part of the LIMBIC SYSTEM which has roles in motivation, emotion, learning, and memory. It operates by influencing the endocrine system and the Autonomic Nervous System.
The “ssss” group, however, did not produce any significant activation/deactivation in any of these brain regions.
The researchers suggest that these effects are caused by stimulating the Vagus nerve. The Vagus nerve (also called Cranial Nerve 10) interfaces with the parasympathetic control of the heart and the digestive system. The Parasympathetic Nervous System is the “rest and digest” nervous system. It calms the body and allows healing and digestion to occur. (The counter to this is the Sympathetic nervous system which is the stress and fight or flight portion of the Autonomic Nervous system).
The Vagus nerve has a branch called the auricular branch which is by the ear. It is thought that when done properly, “OM” chanting causes a vibration in the ear that stimulates this branch of the Vagus nerve causing the above mentioned findings in the brain and the calming nature in the body.
There is also another interesting observation. It has been found that the vibrational frequency of everything that occurs naturally is 432 Hz, which is the same frequency of ”Om’’ when chanted. Hence, when we repeat “Om”, we are able to create resonance with the nature, and our mind reaches the exalted state, where it realizes a state of equanamity and peace.
In this way, there are many scientific evidences to prove that chanting is effective at the bodily, mental, and social level.
At the ultimate level, all Vedic scriptures declare the glories of chanting of holy names of Lord Krishna, especially in this age of Kali Yuga, as the only means of deliverance. Holy names act much beyond the bodily, mental, and social level and directly stimulates our spiritual nature. The main purpose of chanting of holy names of Krishna is to revive our dormant love of God, others are only the concomitant benefits.

‘’Glory to the sri-krsna-sankirtana, which cleanses the heart of all the dust accumulated for years and extinguishes the fire of conditional life, of repeated birth and death. This sankirtana movement is the prime benediction for humanity at large because it spreads the rays of the benediction moon. It is the life of all transcendental knowledge. It increases the ocean of transcendental bliss, and it enables us to fully taste the nectar for which we are always anxious.’’- Shikshastakam Verse 1
nāmnām akāri bahudhā nija-sarva-śaktis tatrārpitā niyamitaḥ smaraṇe na kālaḥ etādṛśī tava kṛpā bhagavan mamāpi durdaivam īdṛśam ihājani nānurāgaḥ
‘’O my Lord, Your holy name alone can render all benediction to living beings, and thus You have hundreds and millions of names, like Krsna and Govinda. In these transcendental names You have invested all Your transcendental energies. There are not even hard and fast rules for chanting these names. O my Lord, out of kindness You enable us to easily approach You by Your holy names, but I am so unfortunate that I have no attraction for them.’’ -Shikshastakam Verse 2.

"Whenever and wherever there is a decline in religious practice, O descendant of Bharata, and a predominant rise of irreligion – at that time I descend Myself.
To deliver the pious and to annihilate the miscreants, as well as to reestablish the principles of religion, I Myself appear, millennium after millennium."

What happened to Radha after Krishna left Vrindavan?
Wise devotees know that neither Krishna ever leaves Vrindavana nor Srimati Radharani ever separates from Krishna (vṛndāvanaṁ parityajya sa kvacin naiva gacchati- Adi Yamala Tantra).
Can musk be ever separated from its fragrance? Can moon be ever separated from its moonlight? Can fire be ever separated from its burning property? It is certainly impossible. But apparently, it seems as if they have separated in Their manifest pastimes (prakata lila). The inconceivable pastimes of Sri Radha and Lord Krishna certainly cannot be understood by human intellect.
So, taking shelter of Their manifest pastimes, let me describe what has happened to Srimati Radharani after Krishna apparently left Vrindavana. Following are the divine ecstasies of Sri Radha, who is the primeval potency (para shakti) of Lord Krishna.
Please see what condition has befallen Her.
Sri Radha says as follows
moribo moribo sakhi niścoy moribo
kānu heno gunanidhi kāre diyā yābo
I will die, I will die, O sakhi, I will surely die. How it is now possible for me to attain Krsna, who is an ocean of all the qualities?
tomrā joteko sakhī theke majhu sange
maraṇa kāle kṛṣṇa nāma likho mora ange
All you sakhis, that are staying with Me, please write Krsna's name on My body as I die.
lalitā prāṇera sakhi mantra dio kāne
morā deha pore yeno kṛṣṇa nāma śune
Lalita, My life companion! Please utter the mantra in My ear, so that I hear Krsna's name when my body burns on the pyre.
nā porāio mora anga nā bhāsāio jole
morile tuliye rekho tamālera ḍāle
No, No, please don't burn My body, and don't throw it in a river. When I die, then keep it around the branch of a Tamala tree.
sei se tamāla taru kṛṣṇa-varṇa hoy
acetana tanu mora tāhe yeno roy
This Tamala tree has the complexion of Krsna. Let my unconscious body dwell on it.
kabahu se piyā yadi āse vṛndāvane
parāṇa pāyabo hām piyā daraśane
If My beloved ever returns to Vrndavana, I will get My life back by seeing Him.
puna yadi cāńda mukha daraśa nā pābo
viraha anale māho tanu teyāgibo
If I never see His moonlike face back again, I will give up My body in the fire of separation.
kohite kohite dhanī murachita bhelo
dhāi viśakhā tāre kole kori nilo
When Radha spoke thus, She fainted and Visakha came running to take Her on her lap.
thara thara kāmpe anga khīn bohe śvās
nāsāgrete tula dhari dekhaye niśvās
Her body trembled strongly and only a very thin breath came from Her mouth. The sakhis kept a cotton swab in front of Her nose to see if She was still breathing.
śravane vadana dei kohe kṛṣṇa nā;ma
cetana pāiyā kohe kāhā ghana-śyāma
They uttered Krsna's name in Her ears and, regaining consciousness, She said: 'Where is Ghanasyama?'
sanmukhe tamāla heri kore nirīkhan
unmādinī hoye yāy dite ālingan
When She sees a Tamala tree ahead of Her, She stares at it and embraces it like mad.
aichana dhanīra daśā kori nirīkhan
govinda dās bhelo sajala nayan
Seeing such a condition of Radha, Govinda dasa simply stares with tear-filled eyes.
