Like- wise, in a less degree, would a doctor be unable to explain the theory of inoculation to a savage, but it is quite con- ceivable that he might be able to teach him how to vaccinate himself or another; which would be after all the chief point gained.

Some of the most famous mantras are: “Aum mani padme Hum.” “ Aum Shivaya Vashi.” “Aum Tat Sat Aum.” “Namo Shivaya namaha Aum.” The pranava AU M+ plays an important part, throughout the whole of Indian Yoga, and especially is it considered sacred by the Mantra-Yogi, who is continually using it.
