A mantra (Sanskrit: मन्त्र, translit. mantra, English pronunciation /ˈmæntrə, ˈmɑːn-, ˈmʌn-/)is a sacred utterance, a numinous sound, a syllable, word or phonemes, or group of words in Sanskrit believed by practitioners to have psychological and spiritual powers. Mantra meditation helps to induce an
altered state of consciousness.[5] A mantra may or may not have a syntactic structure or literal meaning.
We meditate on the transcendental glory of the Deity Supreme, who is inside the heart of the earth, inside the life of the sky,
and inside the soul of the heaven. May He stimulate and illumine our minds.
The mantra purifies the body. Man becomes pure by repeating the name of God. So repeat His name always.
I had a Guru. He was a great saint and most merciful. I served him long – very, very long; still, he would not blow any mantra in my ears. I had a keen desire never to leave him but to stay with him and serve him and at all cost receive some instruction from him.
All mantras come from one mantra, and that is Om.
