In the study with newlinephysiological variables, forty novices male, age group of 20 to 25 years participated in this newlinetrial. Likewise there were 35 participants including men and women in the age group of 20 to newline45 years. newlineDesign newlineIn design with physiological variables, all participants in the study were assessed on four newlineseparate sessions in the laboratory and all of them were assessed before, during and after newlineLoud Chanting (LC), Lips Movement (LM), Silent Chanting (SC) and No Chanting (NC). newlineSimilarly, in the study with cognitive variables, all participants were given orientation for newlinechanting of Mahämrutyunjaya Mantra (MM) for 10 days.
