“Analysis Of Om (AUM) Chanting Using Machine Learning”

Abstract

Since ancient times sacred sounds like "OM", Gayatri Mantra and Mrutunjay
Mantra have played a significant role not only culturally but also helped in
maintaining mental and physical health. According to the manuscripts, it is
scientifically verified that these sounds have a remarkable and positive impact on
human body and mind. But still extensive research needs to be conducted to prove
the impact of sacred sounds, especially "OM", on our significant parts of the body,
for example, the heart. This research paper does the frequency analysis of "OM"
sound with its chanting performed with the three basic sounds of “A” “U” and “M”.
There are varied ways of chanting the sound "OM" or “AUM”, according to the
ancient literature like the Mandukya Upanishda. Therefore, it's typically confusing
for a layman to seek out the precise or ideal method of chanting the sound "OM"
or “AUM”. So, in this research work more focus is on variety of ways of chanting
"AUM" which can offer the utmost health benefits. The tools and strategies to be
used are; Spectral Analysis, Audio Analysis, computing Techniques. Here sacred
sound AUM is recorded and its scientific analysis is carried out. The female subject
is chanting AUM for 11 times and the sound file is of 7 minutes duration. The
sampling rate is chosen as 44100. The work reviewed is mainly divided into some
major steps such as basic understanding, health benefits, and Spectral analysis of
sound AUM.
