A Mantra is a set of words recommended in the holy Vedas. Mantras are used during Puja (prayers) and Sadhanas. It is most essential to pronounce them systematically before getting into any practice. According to Vedas, one can attain God, health, wealth and luck through chanting the right mantras correctly.
The power of chanting Mantra
The word Mantra consists of two words: ‘Manas’ which means mind and ‘trai’ which means free from. Thus mantra means to free the mind. Therefore mantras act as powerful vibration tools that free one’s mind. If one performs the chanting of a Mantra infallibly and with assertion, then one can experience the powerful energy in it and can achieve anything from mundane detachment of greed to Self-realisation.
Mantra remedies have become a widely used supplement to alternative medical treatment. Everything that exists in this universe has energy. Sound energizes and harmonizes life, and a Mantra 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 chanting is very popular in Hinduism and is done for various purposes. It could be done as part of spiritual Sadhana, Meditation or for pleasing a deity, or to get your work done like bringing prosperity, happiness, child or getting a job. Some people do it because it gives them inner peace and contentment.
Most of the popular mantras are those which are easier to chant. Mantra chanting can be done at any time of day. But it’s best to do in Brahmamurtha (early morning hours) or during the evening (when the sun is setting).
