        abstract = {It has been said that chanting Om boosts blood flow to brain regions that are responsible for cognitive processes and enhances cognition. Goals and Objectives: The purpose of this research was to examine the impact of a 84 Day regimen of Om chanting on response time, spatial, and verbal memory. Materials and Methods: Twenty participants in the study—nine males and eleven women—were chosen based on their apparent health, right-handedness, and willingness to participate. The study participants ranged in age from 25 to 55. Participants in the intervention group received a week's worth of training in reciting OM under the guidance of a certified yoga teacher. They were instructed to gather in the institute's meditation hall at precisely 5:00pm. every day for a week and practice Om chanting for 20 minutes. The literature that outlines the spatial and verbal memory test approach was used to evaluate spatial and verbal memory. Using RT equipment, auditory and visual reaction time was measured. Results: The study compared reaction time, spatial, and verbal memory between participants in the intervention and control groups. In comparison to the control group, the intervention group's spatial memory scores showed a notable gain. Compared to the control group, the intervention group showed a marked improvement in auditory response time to high and low pitch sounds as well as visual response time to red and green light. Conclusion: The study findings explain the significant improvement in auditory and visual reaction time, spatial and verbal memory scores following the intervention. To promote the well-being of the general public, the study suggests additional in-depth studies to back the practice of Om chanting.},
