Mounam (Silence), a practice that purifies the mind is to be observed along with meditation and introspection. We are constantly in contact with the outside world through our sensory organs. The imprints produced by the results of all our thoughts, words and deeds, from the time of our birth to date, are contained in our genetic center in the form of charactersed knots.

All these imprints expand into thoughts in our mind during the period of Mounam. Evil thoughts should be eradicated and noble ones retained through regular introspection. Meditation brings down the frequencies of the mind waves to very subtle levels, where the secrets of Nature laid bare before it. Realisation of the Divine State becomes possible.
