Psychophonics or Komajas Mantra-Yoga
Psychophonics is a science founded by Makaja dealing with the psychic or spiritual origins and basic principals of human and animal sounds. The main reason behind the emergence and development of psychophonics as scientific discipline was and still is the unfolding of glasovnost, i.e. the ability to express one’s own as well as others physical, psychic and spiritual substance with the help of voice and sounds. In the spiritual-scientific teaching of Komaja this is one of the abilities to which we pay great attention. The pyschophonists of Komaja learn not only how to choose the right spiritual names for their future pupils, but, much more important, how to choose appropriate mantras as well as how to initiate pupils as to mantra use.
Spiritual names
Spiritual names are given for very different reasons and motives. Basically, a name is an invocation and order, which the individual can either evade or whose supportive symbolic power he/she can adopt. Parents often name their children after heroes in novels or history, athletes, artists, or politicians to motivate them to emulate the name’s patron in a symbolic way. in Komaja, too, spiritual names are given to support the personal and spiritual development of the individual. But the choice of name is made not according to semantic but psychophonic principles. In the same way that musical tones influence the human psyche (relax or revive, soothe or worry), so also do sounds or combinations thereof: the name Jasmin sets free different forces than Barbara, the name Ronaldo different ones than Emilio.
Therefore, when spiritual names are given in Komaja, one first determines which virtues the person needs most for his or her spiritual development. To a certain extent, this name in its tonal creation must correspondingly reflect the already present virtues, or soul-structure, of the person. A name is found and taken on when one of the names proposed has been accepted by both the individual for whom the name is meant and the spiritual teacher of Komaja who is present. If after several weeks the person feels resistance to the new name, it will be changed in the same procedure.
