Measure-improvement in QOL/ Survival It was a great Experience preparing for participation in 16 th World Congress of Psycho-Oncology (Integrating psycho oncology-oncology into mainstream cancer care: from research to action at Lisbon, Portugal from 20 to 24 Oct 2014.) From submission of Abstract: effect of mantra chanting on terminally ill cancer patients to its acceptance 0285 number given to abstract was quite interesting. Although I had applied for oral presentation but I got an opportunity for poster presentation. During this journey correspondence with Marta was very prompt. Designing the research and intervention of mantra chanting for 21 days was awakening. Chanting 45 th Shloka of Jain Bhaktamar which states it is cure for Incurable disease, especially cancer for 15 minutes with each patient on his bedside was effective. Generally patients chant on their own, if required the relative- spouse or child recites for his recovery. Electronic gazettes were also provided with recorded mantras in healer's voice of 45 th Shloka of Bhaktamar for 108 times. After 42 Days observation report is made.
