Culture - Mantra

What is Mantra ?
Mantras are the chanting
of specific words which helps to condense dispersed energy. Chant is a sound vibration which awakens a particular energy in human. According to Physics everything we touch is a field of vibration with different rates of intensity. Hence this vibration can be used to change our mind and health. We become what we repeat. Like in some personality building books it is given "Tell your
mind daily that you want do …… in …….. many days." This repetition eventually develops strong desire for that thing we want to achieve. So this is a process of building strong attitude. The same is done by mantras and to be said more than these management techniques.


How does it work ?
There are several Mantras that our Rishis have given us. Each Mantra corresponds to certain purpose. The only thing is we need to know what we want to achieve. The words present in our Mantras correspond to names of God or Goddess. The important thing to be noted is that each & every word present in Mantra has effect on our health & mind. The vibration produced by each
word has particular frequency & has effect on particular nerve in our body and thus energizes them. Repetition of these Mantras strengthens our nerves and provides us with inner strength. Meditating with these mantras strengthens our mind and helps in awakening that sleeping mind (sub-consciousness) which a normal person can't achieve. When this mind awakens person experiences that joy which can't be expressed in words.
There are different Gods for different Mantras and we visualize that particular God depending on what we want to achieve. Like Saraswati Mantra helps to increase knowledge, Hanuman for good health etc. The only intention behind these Mnatras is to get good for ourselves. Even hearing Mantras has good effect on us.

There are both good & evil in this world. Evil is said to be the negative thoughts that take shelter in our mind. These negative thoughts acts as blockage and eventually retard our mental & physical health. In such circumstances people generally approach poojaris/Acharyas and they tell us some Mantras to chant for some time. Have any of us tried to analyze this purpose? No. The reason is these words when chanted repeatedly create a sort of vibration that
activates particular nerves and removes the blockage caused by negative thoughts and refreshes our mind & body. Even when tensed or suffering form some diseases we can make use of these Mantras. Through medicine it can be cured temporarily, but through Mantras permanently. In today's world also when science has developed so much we can get various
instances to see the miracle of Mantras.
