In a world riddled with anxiety, restlessness, and spiritual fatigue, MUM – Meditation Ultimate Medication comes as a timely balm for the soul. Conceptualized and created by Satchitananda Vandana Khaitan, a disciple of Ramana Maharshi and the mystic-scientist Yogi Protoplasm, this 36-minute 3D animated film, along with its companion book, offers not just spiritual discourse but also a practical and transformative inner technology for everyday life.
Drawing from Vedanta, yogic science, and ancient Indian wisdom, the film and book together establish a new kind of medicine cabinet – not stocked with pills, but with mantras, breathwork, introspection, and the power of OM. Khaitan insists, through experience and elegant storytelling, that meditation is no longer a luxury – it is essential medicine for the modern soul.
Essence of the Offering
The heart of the book and film lies in the six stages of chanting Om (Pranava Nada Anusandhan), a mystical sonic journey that moves the seeker beyond the material body, into deep inquiry of the eternal Self. “Every time you chant Om, ask – Who am I? Am I this perishable body? Or am I a divine blissful soul?” This single, piercing question forms the spiritual backbone of the film, echoed in beautifully visualized sequences and guided meditations.
The health benefits of meditation are detailed both scientifically and experientially – stress reduction, disease remission, improved relationships, and spiritual awakening are not presented as vague possibilities but as lived realities, evidenced through testimonials like that of Dr. H.K. Mittal, a senior surgeon who claims Om chanting cured his hypertension and transformed his patients’ lives.
Spiritual Simplicity Meets Scientific Depth
The text navigates from everyday ailments to existential concerns, including corruption, stress, ego, and karmic bondage. Yet, its tone remains humble and accessible, drawing the reader into deeper contemplation through practices such as death visualization, blessing those who have hurt you, meditations, and daily introspection diaries.
The principle of Turiya Transformation Technology (TTT), introduced as a Timeless Technology for our Troubled Times, shows how society can evolve through the inner awakening of individuals. Turiya – the fourth state of consciousness – becomes not just an esoteric ideal, but an attainable goal through sincere spiritual practice.
“Every time you chant Om, ask – Who am I? Am I this perishable body? Or am I a divine blissful soul?”
A Soul’s Journey Shared
Vandana Khaitan’s own story becomes a beacon of hope: once shattered by trauma, she found healing and transformation through her guru’s simple instruction—to sit and chant Om. Her journey from fashion designer to spiritual filmmaker, author, and meditation advocate is both remarkable and relatable. She now dedicates her life to what she calls “Fashion for the Soul,” helping others move from chaos to consciousness.
The Transformative Power of Mantras and Garbh Sanskar
Modern science is catching up with what ancient Indian seers already knew – the power of sound and intention can influence even the molecular structure of water. As demonstrated by Dr. Masaru Emoto’s famous experiment, positive vibrations like mantras and prayers shape water crystals into beautiful patterns, while negative speech distorts them. Considering that the human body is largely water, especially in the womb, the vibrations surrounding us have a profound impact on our well-being.
This insight forms the basis of Garbh Sanskar – the spiritual and mental nurturing of a child in the womb. With the fetus composed of nearly 90% water, chanting mantras and creating a peaceful environment can help attract a divine soul and shape a spiritual, emotionally balanced child. As Yogi Protoplasm says, “See Satchitananda in Everyone. When you get this Divine Vision, you will be 24 hours in Meditation.”
A Vision for Humanity
The book’s final chapters outline the expansive vision and mission of Khaitan’s Vande Krsna Foundation (VKF) – from scientific spiritual spas to Womb-to-Tomb Centers and value-based education. VKF’s work is not just contemplative but also action-oriented, aiming to re-spiritualize culture from the grassroots up.
Their short films—Yogi vs. Bhogi, Who Am I?, and MUM—are modern parables that use animation, music, and spiritual truths to awaken young minds. These efforts are complemented by workshops and community outreach, all woven into the larger vision of “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam” – One World Family.
MUM, the Movie
The film on YouTube, MUM – Meditation Ultimate Medication, produced by Vande Krsna Foundation, is a soul-stirring documentary that explores how meditation holds the key to resolving the deepest challenges of human life. Presented in both English and Hindi, it seamlessly weavs together ancient Vedantic wisdom with modern scientific insights, the film answers profound questions on the nature of the self, the root cause of sorrow, and the transformative power of meditation. Through guided practices, reflective prompts, and spiritual inquiry, MUM inspires viewers to go within, unlock inner bliss, and take their first step toward becoming a ‘Bliss Billionaire’. More than just a film, it’s an awakening experience – inviting everyone to reconnect with their divine essence.
Vandana Khaitan has conducted Movie-cum-Meditation workshops for Bhilwara Group, Laxman Public School in New Delhi, and Garg Engineering College, Ghaziabad.
Final Reflections
“If there was ever a time for meditation to become mainstream medicine, that time is now.”
MUM – Meditation Ultimate Medication is more than a book or film – it is a soul technology, a modern Upanishad for those navigating the noise of contemporary life. Its blend of simplicity, depth, and sincere sadhana invites every reader to pause, reflect, and return to what truly heals.
If there was ever a time for meditation to become mainstream medicine, that time is now.
