Plus which, if, as Vaj claims, "our nervous systems have evolved" in the last 5,000 years to the point where vibrations discerned back then no longer "worked" for us, the same should be true of mantras or any other ancient "sacred" sounds. I'm not aware of any research showing that our nervous systems have evolved in any case. Are you? (And I suspect "Vedic storm gods" were actually crafted on the vibrations, rather than the other way around, but that's a whole 'nother discussion.)
