What is Mantra
? |
|
Mantra is a
complete set of words from the Vedas attributed to the deities or Devas.
Mantras have come down to us from our Maharishis, saints, Sadhus and Yogis who
after recitation of Mantras for several thousand years guided us to follow
them. |
|
Mantras are used
in Tantrik sadhanas or rituals, whispered or chanted in different combinations
and contexts, setting up patterns of vibrations. One must learn to pronounce
them properly as well as to understand their meaning. According to old
scriptures mantras are the only ways to attain one's desires, provided one
recite them with complete faith and prescribed methods and rules. The
recitation of words of mantras should be pure and correct in order to create
the right vibrations.
