What is a Mantra

Mantras are powerful transcendental sound vibrations that descend from the spiritual platform to the material world without losing any of their potency. They are all pure and all purifying. Simply by hearing and repeating these ancient sacred sounds our minds and hearts are cleansed of the incessant flow of material desires. We gradually begin to experience our real nature, which is full of happiness and love.

Mantras are found in the ancient yoga texts, the Vedas, and have been passed down from self-realized sages since time immemorial. The word "mantra" comes from the ancient Sanskrit language. "Man" means mind and "tra" means to deliver or draw away. Simply by hearing and repeating the mantras the mind is drawn away from all material concerns.

The benefits of mantra meditation are many. By regularly practicing mantra meditation we can experience:

• A peaceful mind and a happy heart
• Freedom from fear and anger
• Relief from stress and anxiety
• Real love and compassion for others
• More tolerance and patience
• Better health
