Abstract
The present study analyses the effect of mantra chanting on the performance IQ of 8-13 years old students in Dehradun. In the study it has been hypothesised that the performance IQ (PlQ*) of children will be enhanced with l5 minutes of mantra chanting when practiced for 30 days daily. For this experimental study 15 students were studied by using four performance tests of Malin's intelligence battery for children (an Indian adaptation of Weischler's Intelligence battery for children). The pre and post test results are analysed with 't' test. Performance sub-tests are non-verbal in nature and the sum of four Transient quotients gives performance IQ (P1Q*). The test of significance reveals a significant result p=0.01% and t=3.339. The frequency of repetition of the mantra also increased with proficiency. The critical value p<0.01%, t=2.74 test shows significance difference in pre and post WASP frequency analysis. It establishes the fact that 15min. of mantra chanting is effective in enhancing the performance IQ.
