The Benefits Of Using A Mantra In Meditation

What is a mantra? A mantra is a word and/or sentence spoken (or chanted) in meditation.
More than just a repeated phrase, a mantra is often carefully chosen in alignment with the
user's sought after benefits (whether physical, mental, or spiritual). It's not necessarily the
chosen mantra that does the work - but the energy, intention, and vibration created as the
meditator repeats the phrase.

How Do Mantras Benefit Meditation?

In meditation, the mind has a natural tendency to drift. To "reign in" this wandering of the
mind, mantras offer a focal point. And so the process is simple - in meditation, whenever we
notice the mind wandering, we simply repeat our mantra to bring ourselves back into the
present. And as it's repeated again and again (chanted), it's the mantra's natural rhythm that
makes it such a powerful gateway into the present moment.

Do I Need To Know The Meaning Of My Mantra?

It's not essential. "Om" is the first phrase that comes to mind when most people think of a
mantra. Let's use this as an example. For a beginner, knowing the meaning of "Om" is far
less important than the "vibrations" it creates within the body.

That is, whether you know what it means or not, repeating "Om" creates an energetic
vibratory framework which instills a natural sense of calmness, positivity, and more. Of
course, if the meaning of a particular mantra is both known and "believed in," then this will
magnify benefits across the board.

What Are Some Potential Mantra Meditation Benefits?

• The rhythm & sound is thought to move energy throughout the body.
• Helps release feel good chemicals (like endorphins).
• Helps regulate (and slow) the heart rate.
• Works to enhance the brainwaves of meditation: alpha, theta, and delta.
• Lowers blood pressure.
• Relieves stress.
• Boosts immunity.
• Quiets mind chatter, fear.
• Boosts positive thinking.
• Reprograms the subconscious mind.

Is There A Certain Meditation Style That Works Best When Using A Mantra?

We recommend "mindfulness meditation," which happens to be the most popular and most
scientifically backed technique. Here is our highly detailed guide on how to practice
mindfulness meditation.

The impact of vedic chants on our neurons and healing

Veda means knowledge. Here it is not just about any general knowledge but the
knowledge of our core existence, it’s cause in tandem with self-actualization and
union with the divine.
The scriptural format of what we see as Vedas is a version of what was passed
down in an oral format from master to student for generations much before 1500
BCE. Though the Vedas are scriptures, yet ‘Shruti’ is an ideal way to depict them,
as they are more heard than remembered unlike the ‘Smritis’ such as the
Mahabharata and Ramayana. The four Vedas are Rig Veda, Sama Veda, Yajur Veda
and Atharva Veda.

As Albert Einstein said “Everything in life is Vibration”. Everything is pulsating with

a form of energy – nothing is really standing still. ‘Om’ is what created life and Om
is best explained as the cosmic sound formed by the blend of A+U+M. Om
vibrates at the frequency of 432Hz which aligns us with nature and helps us take
an inward journey to address the divine within us. 432Hz is a frequency crafted to
precision with a longer sound wave and slower frequency for bigger surface areas.
The correct chanting of Om vibrates right from the stomach, through the lungs,
into the throat, nasal passage and finally to the skull and brain. Nothing like an
‘Om’ to bring peace and calm to oneself. They say sound is the biggest healer, not
without any reason!

The Vedas have more than 20, 000 mantras and each mantra when chanted
produces sound vibrations that impact specific neurons of the body. The basic aim
of chanting mantra’s is to induce certain sound frequencies that impact our
neurons coherently and synergistically. It is practically impossible to remember all
the mantra’s and more so in today’s world when we are shrouded with enough
chores to attend. Having said that, there some core mantras which form a part of
the sound therapy for conditions ranging from Mental to Physical.

Gayatri Mantra – Om Bhur Bhuvaḥ Swaḥ: Tat-savitur Vareñyaṃ, Bhargo

Devasya Dheemahi Dhiyo Yonaḥ Prachodayāt

Dr. Howard Steingull, an American Scientist established that the recitation of

Gayatri Mantra produces a frequency of 110,000 Hz. The cosmic energy associated
with the Gayatri Mantra is the Sun. Chanting this mantra increase the blood supply
to the areas of the brain and can significantly impact spatial and verbal memory.
Moreover, chanting it the right way, with the right diction emanates a sound
vibration that is great for the heart. It helps lowering heart rate and maintain a
balance in breathing. Ideal is to chant it early morning at 6:00am.

Similarly, sound frequencies of mantras like 1) Vakratunda Mahakaya Suryakoti

Samaprabha, 2) Sarvamangale Maagalye shive Sarvartha Shardhike, 3) Mangalam
Bhagwan Vishu, Mangalam Garunadhwajah and 4) Om Trayambakam Yajamahe
Sugandhinam Pusthivardhanam, have the potential to produce Gamma, Beta,
Alpha, Theta, Delta brain waves that can help improve alertness, concentration,
creativity, relaxation, intuition, memory and good immunity.

While all the above is possible, the key to the right sound rests in the pronunciation
of vowels (svar) and consonants (varna). A faulty diction would do more harm than
good and that is something we need to be mindful about. Though mantra’s work
best when chanted, nonetheless listening is a better bet than getting it wrong.

Last but not the least is faith. Though there is no mention of ‘faith’ in science, but it
is faith that can shake mountains. If proof is in the pudding, then magic is in diction
and faith. Harness the potential of Vedic mantra’s and chant your way to good
health and a bountiful life.

Vedic Mantra Chanting of Sun

Who is the God of Sun in Indian Mythology?

The Sun is said to be the real deity of the earth, who is visible to us directly in his
supreme divine form. In the Vedas, the sun is said to be the soul of the world.

The soul of the entire past world is the sun; there is life on this earth from the
sun. Sun worship has been prevalent in the Vedas, in many places; the Sun God
has been praised.

According to the Markandeya Purana, earlier this whole world had no light, at
that time the Brahma Ji appeared, the word ‘OM’ came out from his mouth,
which was the radiance of the sun. Sun is considered the king of the solar
system. According to the belief, Sun is the son of Maharishi Kashyap and his
mother is Aditi, due to which the name of the Sun is also ‘Aditya’.

Surya: The Vedic Sun-God

In the Vedic period, the Aryans considered the Sun to be the creator of the
whole world. The meaning of Surya is all-motivator, all-promoter, and all-
beneficial. The Sun has an important place among the gods of Rigveda.
Yajurveda has considered the Sun to be the eye of God. In the Chandogya
Upanishad, the benefits of getting a son have been told by the worship of Lord
Surya.

Sun Astrological Characteristics

Sun is an astrological star that controls our mentality, stamina, energy level,
patience, strong willpower, and ability to think even in dark moments. He is
always strong, determined, and full of light. The enthusiasm to move forward is
received from the sun only.

Remedies of Weak Sun in Horoscope

Inauspicious or debilitating Sun in the Kundali can be a matter of concern. Such

a person suffers the loss of honor and respect, his father suffers and may face
heart and eye-related diseases. He faces obstacles in attaining a high position
only due to the inauspicious effect of the Sun. To remove the defects associated
with planet Sun, many remedies have been prescribed in astrology. By doing
measures like Surya Mantra, Surya Yantra, and Surya Namaskar, the grace of
Lord Surya is obtained. Happiness, prosperity, confidence, willpower, and
success can be found by removing all the defects related to SUN.

Surya Vedic Mantra and Benefits

Mantras have the power to heal consciousness at the deepest level. They effect the people who
hear them and the places where they are practiced. The Vedic mantras have been revealed by the
Rishis (Sages) and Rishikas (female Sages) for the benefit of humanity. Men, women, and children
of all nationalities, casts, creeds, and social statuses can benefit from the use of mantra, but they
must have courage to look within themselves and an intention to help all living beings.

The mantra practices we follow were taught by Swamiji's Gurus. Most of the Vedic rituals are based
upon the Āpastamba Sūtra of the Kṛṣṇa Yajurveda, one of the most popular Vedic traditions in
South India. Some rituals here have their origins in the Āgamas and other later texts and some are
unique to this lineage.

This information is shared with the public for their education and spiritual upliftment. It is asked
that the people who benefit from this information spread the blessings of these mantras by
sharing them with compassionate, wise, and dharmic (spiritual) souls.

Please use this information for the peace of the triloka (three worlds). The Vedas are powerful to
heal and uplift all who use them for healing and peace. They are powerful to destroy those who
work for selfish gains. They purify the soul by destroying all that is impure. It is very important for
the safety of the chanter that chanting be done to offer his selfish tendencies to the Lord. When
spiritual practice is done in this way there will be no concern about mistakes or bad effects from
mispronunciation etc. When doing a practice of Veda chanting it is important to have a Guru to
teach the proper pronunciation and to guide and support the soul through the process of spiritual
awakening. The Guru's grace empowers the mantras for the sincere student. He balances and
supports the seeker as the shakti of the mantras transforms his consciousness. There are
relatively many people who chant many Sanskrit mantras daily; but there are a rare few souls who
have realized the Truth of Vedas living within their own hearts. May this page lead the sincere
seekers toward the realization of that Truth. Tat Sat, Hari AUM!

Sincere seekers who wish to realize the truth of Vedas are encouraged to contact Swamiji for
guidance.

THE DIVINE VIBRATION OF VEDIC CHANTS

Chanting has been a part of my daily practice for several years now and I have
received so many blessings from it. I truly feel that chanting the Vedas has
allowed doors to be opened in the depths of my consciousness and has also been
the source of a deep shift within my spiritual progress. When we chant Sanskrit,
a seed becomes planted deep in our consciousness. The more we chant, the
more we find that potent seeds are being planted.
As we progress on our path not only can we actually witness the seeds grow, but
we can also reap the results. We practice yoga to raise our consciousness and
chanting is a swift way to reach a deeper meditative state. Chanting benefits us
even though we don’t know the meaning of the chant. More importantly,
the meaning of the words becomes clearer as that seed grows.
The source of power comes from the Sanskrit language as within Sanskrit,
the meaning of a word is not separate from the sound of the word. Name and
form are identical in Sanskrit. Furthermore, each sound of the Sanskrit alphabet
has a corresponding vibration in our body and each letter of the alphabet
actually corresponds to 50 different parts of the body. Sound is a vibration;
vibration is the source of the sound and the energy of a mantra. Each sound then
triggers an impulse within the body.
Shiva is often depicted in Hindu mythology with a drum called a “damaru” and
according to this mythology, the Sanskrit alphabet was generated from the
beating of Shiva’s drum, whose resonance permeates all space. In that respect
the drum “damaru” symbolizes the sound of creation, “Aum”, from which all
Vedas and mantras originated, as well as the entire universe.
Sanskrit is the language of Vedic tradition. The Vedas were brought to us by
rishis who were called “mantra drasta”. The rishis had the gifts, siddhis, of
seeing, hearing and knowing.
The mantras are actually sound impulses heard by the rishis while they were in
a trance, meditating. They heard the vibration and repeated it. The Vedas are
called “sruti” because they are supposed to be heard, and were originally
transmitted orally from teacher to students.
Ancient rishis knew that we were made out of sound and light. Chanting the
Vedas allows us to align ourselves with the source of the vibrations and
become one with the source. If we align ourselves with the vibration “spandam”,
then we are in union with the source of creation.
The purpose of chanting the Vedas is to elevate and expand the
mind and consciousness. When we chant Sanskrit it keeps the prana inside of us
because each mantra combines sounds from the 50 letters of the Sanskrit
alphabet. Chanting comprises two elements: “prana”, the vital manifestation of
the consciousness, and “vak”, speech which gives form to matter and thoughts.
Prana is directly connected to our capacity for self-awareness and during
chanting; a connection becomes established between prana, the senses, and the
mind. Any sound requires breath, and as prana is the energy supporting speech,
without it, there would be no speech.
Thoughts are merely speech which has been created in the mind, linking all our
senses together, and then speech allows us to express what we feel through our
senses. Your mind is comprised of thoughts which appear according to your
experiences. For example, if I think about an object, in my mind I visualize the
mental image of that object.
Chanting helps you to master your mind and continual chanting of japa,
“repetition of mantra”, re-shapes the mind. We can replace a particular object
with a particular sound, for example, “Aum”, and the constant repetition of it
then molds our mind. Mantras turn the mind inward and release spiritual energy
into the nadis and chakras.
The physical body, the temple of Jivatman, and a sense of awareness are all
created by the energy of the breath, “prana”. Prana is the regulation of
vibrations within us, and so if breath has an effect on our senses and mind, it can
also affect the body. In that sense, our asana practice becomes more effective
with chanting of a mantra. The same goes for pranayama, because mentally
chanting a mantra while doing pranayama, magnifies the practice. And it is
possible to control your breathing by using yoga, in order to establish a
connection with the cosmic breath.
Ancient yogis used mantras to regulate their breath, help harness them to
cosmic prana, and to retain the prana inside their body. You will find that as you
attune yourself to the divine vibration, you will positively influence everything
around you. As within, so without.

POWER OF MANTRAS- SCIENCE, SPIRITUALITY AND

BENEFITS

L A S T U P D AT E D O N J U N E 1 1 , 2 0 2 1

ॐ भूर्भुवस्व: | तत्सवितुर्वरेण्यम् | भर्गो देवस्य धीमहि | धियो यो न:

प्रचोदयात् |

Yes, indeed! You read that correctly: the above is our ‘Gayatri
Mantra,’ a mantra that we all grew up chanting every day –in the
reception during Puja, at school during boring morning assemblies, and
everywhere else. One of the most miraculous, common, and strong
mantras that we dismissed as ‘just a chant.’
However, if one is to dig deeply into the vast universe of Hindu rituals,
it is amazing to discover that those Mantras are far more than just one
or two lines. Tme, space, or causation cannot unconstrain the
miraculous powers that Mantras possess. Since, Mantra are self-
existent, self-luminous being, and that those who have ears to listen to
the truth can only understand their power; chanting for ages has
remained a common psychosomatic method for achieving physical and
mental health. Mantra chanting helps ease respiratory, metabolic,
reproductive, circulatory, speech, intellectual, and cognitive disorders.
It also helps in improving memory and power of concentration. Some
would claim this theory about the power of Mantras as obscure! But
allow yourselves to have a glance at what all miracles do Mantras need
to reveal.

WHAT ARE MANTRAS?

‘Mantras,’ which date back to the Rigvedic period, are holds a high
regard for three reasons: first, their healing powers, second, the
reverberation these Mantras produce in our bodies, and third, their
universality. The oldest mantras date back at least 3500 years and
were written in Vedic Sanskrit in India. At its most basic level, the
word ॐ (Aum, Om) is one of the most powerful mantra which that is the
primary sound originated on earth. When one speaks the sound of Aum,
it helps to relax the body and mind.
To put it in a definition, “Mantras are melodic phrases with
spiritual meanings that support the individual seeking truth,
reality, light, immortality, harmony, love, wisdom, and
action.” Some mantras are musically uplifting and spiritually
significant, even though they don’t have a literal meaning. However, if
one considers the use, structure, function, importance, and kinds of
mantras across various religions. One would see that it varies
consistently with the varsity and philosophy of Hinduism, Buddhism,
Jainism, and Sikhism. Similar hymns, antiphons, chants, compositions,
and ideas are in Zoroastrianism, Taoism, Christianity, and serve a
central role in tantra as well.

THE UNIVERSAL MANTRA

The most basic and popular mantra, “Om,” often known as the
“Pranava mantra” in Hinduism, is indeed the root of all
mantras. Aum/Om is behind the power of mantras .
Interested to know more- Read more to know about Om chanting
benefits
The Hindu philosophy behind this is that “there is only One Truth,
Brahman, before life and beyond existence, and hence the first
manifestation of Brahman is the Om.” As a result, Om is a fundamental
concept. Thus, it is a prefix and suffix to all or any Hindu prayers.
Other popular Mantras that people are chanting for ages include
Gayatri Mantra and Shanti Mantra. These are the universal of all Hindu
Mantras.

Oṁ Bhūrbhuvaswaha Tatsaviturvarenyam bhargo devasya

dhīmahi dhiyo yo naḥa prachodayāt.
“Let us meditate thereon excellent glory of the divine Light (Vivifier,
Sun). May he stimulate our understandings” (knowledge, intellectual
illumination)

The Gayatri Mantra, universal of all Hindu mantras , invokes the

universal Brahman because of the principle of knowledge and therefore
the illumination of the primordial Sun. The mantra is an extraction from
the 10th verse of Hymn 62 in Book III of the Rig Veda.
The Shanti Mantras, or “Peace Mantras” or Pancha Shanti, are Hindu
prayers for Peace (Shanti) found in Upanishads. Generally, they’re
recited at the start and end of spiritual rituals and discourses.
Invocation of some Shanti Mantras is within the beginning of some
topics of Upanishads. These are also alleged to calm the mind of the
reciter and environment around them. The power of mantras can be
understood by reciting them. And it is additionally believed to be
removing any obstacles for the task being started.
Oṁ Sahanā vavatu
sahanau bhunaktu
Sahavīryam karavāvahai
Tejasvi nāvadhītamastu
Mā vidviṣāvahai
Oṁ Shāntiḥ, Shāntiḥ, Shāntiḥ.
“Om! Let the Studies that we together undertake be effulgent;
“Let there be no Animosity amongst us;
“Om! Peace, Peace, Peace.
– Taittiriya Upanishad 2.2.2
The two Mantras mentioned are just a glimpse of what Vedas and
Upanishads offer to their seekers. There are ‘n’ numbers of other
Mantras–that are chanted for thousands of years, contain powers to
miracles as well as help the seeker succeed–exist within the layers of
those historical books, a number of the examples might be, ‘Om
Namah Shivay,’ ‘Hare Krishna,’ ‘Ganesh Mantra, ‘ etc. Over time,
with the composition of Puranas and Epics, there was an evolution in
the concepts of worship, virtues, and spirituality in Hinduism.
There was a branching off religions like Jainism and Buddhism also, and
foundation of new schools was there. As a result each continue to
develop and refine its own mantras that provided a vision of one’s need
for purity of heart.
WHAT DOES SCIENCE REVEAL ABOUT THE POWER OF
MANTRAS!
Science has taken a heavy toll upon the existence of each organism
over this earth. ‘Reason’ is what every person seeks to prove the
element to be true or false. Be it questioning their living selves or the
existence of God in this universe. If questions the power of Mantras,
then science has the answer to each quirky puzzle that validates the
miracle of chanting Mantras.

Endless chanting of Mantras or ‘Japa’ in a melodious rhythm can

elevate both the physical and mental being of the participant through
reverberating deep within the recesses of the mind, body, as well as
spiritual self. Within the ancient traditions of meditation, the science of
mantra is a precise and technical process. This is order to achieve their
goal, affecting their subtle, spiritual bodies, the functioning of the
chakra system, and therefore the health of their physical bodies.
The vibration generated by chanting any mantra appears to grow
exponentially. Chanting automatically regulates the breath, which is a
central component in many types of meditation. “On the physical level,
voicing a chant in a prescribed way impacts the abdominal area, the
lungs, the circulatory system, and so on,” explains Radha
Sundararajan, director of chanting, Krishnamacharya Yoga
Mandiram (says a report of ‘The Hindu’). As a result, there is a
generation of a thought-energy wave. Also the organism vibrates in
sync with the chant’s energy and spiritual appeal.
To grow to be a robust being, each bodily and mentally, one desires to
chant mantras every day. One can see our Vedas with such powerful
and astounding mantras which have the energy to imbibe a greater
multiplied self. Given a protracted list of the most powerful mantras,
extraordinary mantras serve extraordinary purposes, such as, “Om
Dhanvantaraye Namah”: this Mantra is taken into consideration as
one of the maximum recovery mantras of the historical Sanskrit
mantras and is useful for physical, intellectual, and mental problems. It
assists in getting over persistent sicknesses and different frame
aliments. It is additionally appropriate and useful for kids with fitness
conditions.
D I F F E R E N T M A N T RA S A N D T H E I R S C I E N T I F I C I M P O RTA N C E

Another example is “Mahamrityunjaya Mantra”: This mantra is one

of the most strong and effective of all the historical Sanskrit mantras.
The chanting of this mantra take place for recovery and immunity for
our psychic, emotional, intellectual, and energetic bodies. Therefore, it
may supply us with power and stamina on all levels. The reason is that
it bestows durability and might help us in overcoming sicknesses.
Daily chanting, which is usually for some auspicious number of times
(5, 8, and 1008) can elevate the strength in one’s body and mind.
Furthermore, proper chanting can contribute to more coherent and
harmonic brain patterns, improved communication between the left and
right hemispheres of the brain. It also helps with boosted immune
systems, increased lymphatic circulation, and lowered heart rate and
blood pressure; increased production of melatonin, interleukin-
1, and other hormones and endorphins. Also much more, like creating,
developing and building an overall enlightened human being.
THE SPIRITUAL POWER OF MANTRAS

Since the beginning of civilization, the sages have taught us that our
essential nature is reality, consciousness, and bliss. They say that
although the mind is constantly searching for ways to alleviate its pain.
It also typically restricts its quest to the external world, resulting in
more misery. But when we have gained sufficient wisdom to look
inside, at first we encounter only scattered or uncontrollable thoughts,
feelings, and daydreams. Meditation, the sages acknowledge, is the
path that leads to absolute truth, but a scattered mind can inevitably
trigger delays. They tell us that mantra is the vehicle in which the mind
becomes focused and internal. This allows us to enter the everlasting
silence that is the source of bliss.

Fortunately, one of the most effective therapeutic instruments is

sound, which we all have access to–the human voice. Many cultures
have used it throughout history, usually in the form of chants and
mantras. Chanting also makes us feel elated, linked, and liberated.
Chanting is a strong type of meditation that can assist us in entering a
state of enlightenment. The repetition stills the daily mind, blissfully
releasing the unconscious mind’s imagination and opening the inner
eye’s vision.
In these incredible times, many types of sound therapy enable us to
regulate the planet’s rising vibrations; some Mantras, such as
the “Seed Mantras” or “Bija Mantras,” also specifically target
chakras. Many practitioners believe mantra chanting can heal the body.
Chanting mantras every day activates the ‘Nadi System,‘ which
traditional yogis refer to as the channels in our bodies through which
prana, or vital energy, flows. It is a belief in Western medicine that
Mantra chanting calms the central nervous system. There is even some
evidence that it can boost the immune system.

I M P O RTA N C E O F C H A N T I N G M A N T RA S A C C O R D I N G T O
U PA N I S H A D S

“Om Mani Padme Hum”: This powerful mantra, which has deep roots
in India and Tibet, is one of the most commonly chanted mantras; “ Om
Namah Shivaya“: It is a powerful Vedic mantra said to be both
purifying and healing. This mantra is particularly potent to Shiva’s
connection with death and destruction. Dating back to the Isha
Upanishads in the first millennium BCE, the Hindu and Buddhist
traditions consider this mantra as a breath mantra and a philosophical
aphorism meaning, “I am that.” The sound “so hum” can be easily
paired with inhalation and exhalation, and when chanted to oneself,
consciousness is said to expand from constriction to freedom. But it is
unfortunate that we have become dependent on knowing and
experiencing things only through the analytical aspects of the
conscious mind. But this conscious mind learns through the external
senses alone.
Thus, it thinks and “knows” in a very limited and superficial way. To
experience the miracle and power of mantras, one has to actually
sense the four levels, or koshas, of a mantra. Its literal meaning is
only the most primary and one can percieve it onnly at external level.
The feeling of the mantra is the next, more subtle level; a deep
presence or internal awareness follows it. Thus, one can either see the
power of mantras or rather experience through a direct engagement in
its practice. These chanting could be either spoken aloud (Vaikhari
Japa), or softly whispered (Upamsu Japa). Even they can be said silently
in the mind(Manasika Japa) that makes oneself closer to the divine
power.
HOW TO INITIATE THE POWER OF MANTRAS?
Most of the miraculous mantras serve three purposes: intention,
meaning, and vibration or sacred sound. The intention is why you
practice—the reason, goal, and purpose; meaning is what you practice
—the definition and meaning of your mantra. Sacred sound is how you
practice — connection to the vibrational sound and life force energy
that your practice cultivates.

In an effort to initiate any mantra, there are things to recall. One is

your bodily body all through the exercise and the other is the voice
projection at some point of the practice.

Ideally, during the practice of mantras at the same it far better to be in

a seating position, at ease function. Keep in mind the vibrations of the
chant can and could be felt at some point in the complete frame,
the straighter your spine the extra without problems the power
can float. It is miles possible to chant during hobbies. For example,
strolling, hiking, using the subway to paintings, using to high school or
paintings. This isn’t ideal but if that the only way you are going to
shape it in then do it.
There are 3 faculties of concept in terms of chanting a mantra. In most
instances, human beings use them interchangeably depending on the
surroundings in which they’re chanting.

The middle foremost of a mantra exercise is to chant it with complete

religion, focus, and attention. So, whether you pick out to do it out loud
or silently is up to you.

BENEFITS AND PURPOSE OF MANTRAS

At every instance of life, humans encounter with chanting of different
mantras, whether it is the birth of a child, marriage, and even death;
the power and miracles of these mantras remain throughout the
journey of our lives. But, ultimately a question rises as to what is the
purpose of these mantras in our day-to-day lives. Most of the people
refuse to accept the theory of the miracle of mantras. But the scientific
study of such practices on well-being has found that mantra-based
meditation practices can have a positive effect on mood and cognitive
function.

A recent review by Lynch et al. at the Royal College of Physicians

of Ireland looked at 37 studies that had examined the effects of
mantra in the general population on outcomes of anxiety, stress,
depression, burnout, anger, and psychological distress. The findings
indicate that mantra meditation interventions may have beneficial
effects on mental health in the general population.
Happiness, grief, success, break-offs, diseases, or even failure aim to
attain a transcendental state in which everything emerges, regardless
of the grief. And to achieve this goal, one needs to have faith in
mantras that bestow us with every solution of life. Many such examples
that showcase that different type of mantras contain different
purposes:

“okah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu,” an ancient Sanskrit prayer

that people often recite at the end of a yoga practice. The meaning is
exquisite: “May all beings everywhere are happy and free. And may the

“Ehi Vidhi Hoi Naath Hit Moraa,” is one of the most powerful
mantras for success “Jehi Vidhi Hoi Naath Hit Moraa Karahu So Vegi
Daas Main Toraa,” means “O Lord, I am your devotee. I don’t know
what to do. So do at once whatever is good for me.”
“Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti” comes from the Upanishads, one of the
ancient philosophical yogic texts from India. It translates to “Lead me
from the untruth to truth, lead me from darkness to light, and lead me
from death to immortality, Om peace, peace, peace.” A powerful
mantra for miracles often chanted during Kirtan with a group of
people, or at the beginning of the year, change of season, or even
before embarking on a journey.
Though the meaning of ‘mantra’ has changed over the years. Whereby
simple affirmations are the only ‘mantra to success’ now, the power of
mantras that Vedas and Upanishads put forward remain the ultimate
source of powers and miracles. The chanting of mantras do not stop at
this count, there exists an endless number of mantras with innumerable
purposes, ‘Adi Mantra,’ ‘Saraswati Mantra,’ ‘Mangla Charan Mantra,’
‘Ganesha Mantra,’ and what not! It is through the medium of the
vibration of the mantra; the thought is purified and comes to a
telepathic state, followed by the transcendental state.
