    Mantra (Sacred Chanting)

    A man is seen sitting with his index and thumb finger joint together to chant a mantra

    Mantra (मंत्र )

    The word Mantra is composed of two words Man + Tra

    Man: means mind, which is conscious and which is dwelling in the material world.

    Tra: has three primary meanings:

    1. a) One who protects
    2. b) Bring to some place or to reach somewhere
    3. c) Something contributing as an instrument, tool, or devise

    So if we combine all three meanings of the word “Tra” and join it with the word “Man” we have the following meaning for the word ” Mantra”.

    A Mantra is an instrument or devise that can protect the mind and that can lead it somewhere (physically towards something) or can transform it (spiritually). Where somewhere?  In which plain and direction? It is governed by the types of Mantras one is doing and by the feeling or devotion one has in his heart.

    According to Hinduism, the entire manifestation has occurred by using sounds. There are many different root sounds in the Sanskrit language that when combined with different words create different Mantras.

    Vedic scriptures teach that everything has originated from the word or sound “AUM, and everything will submerge in “AUM, .

    The word , AUM: is composed of  the following 3 root sounds (A + U + M)

    A: Creation, Brahma, root sound (beeja) for creation, rajas.

    U: Sustenance, Vishnu, root sound (beeja) for sustenance, satwa.

    M: Destruction or Transformation, Maheshwara, root sound (beeja) for final transformation or destruction, tamas.

    The creation, sustenance, and destruction or transformation is a natural process that is taking place all the time at all levels.

    So everything can be created, sustained, and destroyed by using various root sounds and creating words out of these sounds or in other words by Mantras.

    Mantra is a logical arrangement of special sounds, composing words, that stimulate the centers of spiritual energies within us and gradually harmonize them. It can create, sustain, or destroy various kinds of energies for our well-being. There are all kinds of mantras available in scriptures aimed at various goals. A mantra when properly prescribed and then regularly chanted by a native brings about many internal and external changes in him.

    It also brings about psychological & biological changes in him to heal himself at physical and/or mental levels.

    Mantra empowers natives to inculcate internal strength and protection. At first, the native himself changes internally, and gradually when his thinking, outlook, and behavior change, the world also behaves differently with him. Consequently, he can take control of his life and shape his world to his expectations.

    For example, if one is a selfish, rude person who does not care about the feelings of others, normally he would hurt many and consequently, the people around him will not like him, hence he will not get the support of others and will suffer in some way or other in life. Now, if that person starts doing the mantras that inculcate in him: good sense of relationship, fair play, and compassionate nature, he will behave in a more polite, and agreeable manner with others. Consequently, with time, his relationships will improve tremendously. In this way, he can minimize his unhappiness in relationships and can start getting good support from others.

    From the external side more favorable conditions are created by All Mighty and an individual excels in the field of his pursuit (material and/or spiritual). Hence, mantras, help natives fulfill their goals.

    Mantras also help an individual to progress in a spiritual path and drive him in close contact with Nature/God thereby enabling one to attain final transformation or self-realization or liberation.

    II AUM NAMAH SHIVAY II    II   नमः शिवाय II. Is a very powerful and well-known mantra.

    It means Salutations to the Auspicious One (Shiva). Repeated chanting of this mantra destroys all the evils and sins.

    In Vedic astrology, the 5th house has been assigned for yantras and mantras. 4th is the house of mind or consciousness which can be sustained or destroyed by the 5th house. Because 2nd house from any house is the house of sustenance. Hence It is with the power of Mantra that one can completely protect the mind.
