One of Shreeguru Dr. Balaji Tambe’s cornerstone philosophies for individual self development is the SOM Program. All of us want to progress, in relations, in business, at home and in society. The burning question that every individual has at any stage in life is, “How can I succeed in this situation and come out a winner and be happy?” What is the recipe for success in life?
In Sanskrit, the word ‘soma’ is used for the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The brain and spinal cord are completely immersed in this fluid. The nervous system that runs the body is informed and recharged by the pulsation of this fluid. The entire health of the nervous system and consequently the brain and the body is dependent on the health of CSF. The SOM program is also very beneficial for the quality of CSF that affects every human activity. Therefore, a program that provides a holistic result for every aspect of life has been called SOM. SOM is also an abbreviation of Santulan Aum (Om) Meditation.
SOM consists of a set of really simplified and powerful therapies that can be performed by all people, of all lifestyles, ages and beliefs with minimal preparation. All it takes is a cumulative hour, spread over the day to take advantage of the SOM Program. The book offers an in-depth understanding of the activities.
In this book Shreeguru Balaji identifies why a person who wants to change himself is unable to do so, and connects that cause with the discontent that afflicts all human beings. The fundamental question being answered is, “Who is this self with whom we want to communicate?” He then outlines how to establish such contact and teaches a set of simple practices that will lead to a dialogue between your outer personality and your entity within that opens the doors to both material and spiritual well-being.
Through surprisingly simple analogies, Shreeguru Balaji shows how the layperson can approach the workings of the conscious being within, and how much we can be in control of this body-brain-self. The journey takes the reader through the elements of this communication, from the benefits of the biological language Sanskrit, to the amazing depth of traditional Yoga practices, and why and how music and mantras together deliver messages to unlock your brain’s potential.
The best part? You don’t need to be an expert at any of these to avail of their benefits. Just follow the SOM Program in the book with the accompanying SOM album and you’ll be on your way to health, prosperity and contentment.
