So, What is a Mantra?



It is a collection of words or phrases when recited or uttered in resonance can have significant psychological and physical healing capabilities.

It has its root in our Ancient Vedas and is sometimes known as Vedic Mantra. It is the union of two roots words in Sanskrit i.e. Man which means “mind and Tra which means “tool”.

So basically it is a tool which is used to reflect or project our mind into the universe to invoke a particular deity who is in the “Nirvikalpa Sadhna”. Now the next obvious question- “Is it necessary to chant Mantras in Sanskrit?” The phrases or the syllables are represented in forms which can generate a particular frequency that can travel through the space-time matrix for long.

For example, chanting of ‘Om” or “Aum” which is one of the basic Hindu Mantra represents the sound energy of the Universe.

Now the million dollar question which may have intrigued many reader for years-

Do They Really Work?



In one word-

Yes!

The sound energy created by the chanting gives rise to vibrations which can travel in and around our body and can significantly heal us physically and psychologically.

Repeated chanting is said to produce “Naad” which means a primordial sound which can cleanse our chakras.

Therefore, the practise of regular chanting is sometimes called as the “Naad Yoga”
