Mantra Meaning
The word “Mantra” is derived from two Sanskrit words, ‘Man’ which means “mind” and ‘Tra’ which means “to free from”. A Mantra is composed of certain letters arranged in definite sequence of sounds. Each mantra contains certain specific powers of God/Goddess. When chanted with the proper pranayama and sincere devotion, they will yield good results. In the recitation of Sanskrit Mantras the sound is very important.
A Mantra is a religious or mystical syllable or poem, typically from the Sanskrit language. Its use varies according to the school and philosophy associated with the mantra. It’s a word or phrase repeated over and over again during meditation.
