Mantras are powerful sounds and when chanted with devotion produce enormous
effects. Mantras are well-off in their meanings and their meaning can be
meditated while chanting. As the mind concentrates more and more on mantra
and its meaning, it conditions the mind and takes up to the higher states
and forms the path to salvation - the eternal bliss. Read on to know about
the significance of mantra…
The Vedas are full of mantras, therefore have been kept for ages in their
raw form to use in the different practices like patha, karma, jata, gana,
patas. It has been done to ensure that the chanter clearly interprets the
correct letters and sound for each letter (svara). People are advised to
chant the mantras only when they know the correct pronunciation of it. That
is how mantras are kept against deterioration with time.
Mantras Are Energy-Based Sounds
Sound is the foremost content of the creation. Mantras are divine sounds.
Saying any word produces an actual physical vibration. Over time, if we know
what the effect of that vibration is, then the word may come to have meaning
associated with the effect of saying that vibration or word. Mantras appear
really powerful when this sound effect reaches the mind and the
surroundings.
Mantras Create Thought-Energy Waves
Mantra, when chanted sincerely produces a state where the organism vibrates
at the rate completely in tune with the energy and spiritual state,
represented by and contained within the mantra.
Mantra Have Fire-Like Energy
Mantras have fire like energy which can bring a positive and beneficial
result, or it can produce an energy meltdown when misused or practiced
without some guidance. There are certain mantra formulas which are so exact,
so specific and so powerful that they must be learned and practiced under
careful supervision by a qualified guru.
Mantras Eventually Quiet the Mind
At a deep level, subconscious mind is a collective consciousness of all the
forms of primitive consciousnesses which exist throughout the physical and
subtle bodies. Sincere use of mantra can excavate into subconscious
crystallized thoughts stored in the organs and glands and transform these
bodily parts into repositories of peace.
A mantra is a powerful word or phrase that may or may not have meaning in
the same way as a sentence. Mantras can only be experienced, there is no
proper term to define them and phrase them. That is why; they get passed
from generation to generation.
