about

Mouna is a Sanskrit word that means “silence.”

In the context of yoga, it's the practice of not speaking,
which heightens the other senses. When verbal communication ends,
the yogi is better able to observe the world around him/her without
the distraction of conversation and, ultimately, turn his/her reflection inward.

As a sadhana, or discipline, mouna strengthens willpower and self-control. Mouna can be observed for a short period of time on a daily basis or for longer periods of days at a time for more advanced yogis.

Swami Prabodhananda Saraswati calls mouna a “fast for the mind.” Just as a fast from eating cleanses the body, mouna clears the mind and frees mental energy.
By eliminating conversation, the yogi can focus on inner communication and self-investigation.

Historical Indian texts also reveal that Absolute Reality (or Brahman) is beyond the human capacity for speaking and thinking. Silence is the only way to understand this concept and eventually feel at one with the universe.

Physical mouna, then, transitions to inner silence, or antar mouna. This antar mouna calms an overactive mind and promotes mindfulness and spiritual growth, which allows the yogi to reach a state of self-awareness and union with the higher Self.

“Thou art that” is one of the important mahavakyas (great sayings) of the Upanishads. Know that you are That.
Be silent and find such inner knowledge for yourself.
In that silence, realize your true nature.
There are no words to describe it.
