When you chant the mystic mantra “Hari Om Tatsat Jai Guru Datta”, inner purification of the body and the mind starts automatically. This may lead to a number of functional, perceptual and subtle experiences by the chanter (seeker). The type and the intensity of the experience depends of course, mainly, on faith in the mantra, Guru and your own sadhana-now or earlier.
Functional experiences include rumbling sounds in the abdomen, heaviness in the body or head, back pain, burning sensation, dizziness, slowness in the respiration, staring eyesight, non-winking of eyelids etc. but these reactions last for a few minutes only and the seeker would not require any medication.
Perceptual experiences include visualising colours, sages, Gods and other figures. Sometimes events like earthquakes, floods, wild animals, reptiles, skeletons may also be seen.
Amongst the subtle experiences are wandering in the universe, listening to instrumental music and faint voices inside the body, feeling peace and enjoyment etc.
All these experiences have a bearing on the different parts of the body and their purification. These carry subtle meanings also. It is therefore essential to know their meanings from the literature or from a person fully conversant with this process.
