Efficacy
Of Mantras
|
Mantras are considered to be
divine Sanskrit rhymes composed by the ancient Indian saints. Proper
recitation with prescribed methods and rules under guidance of a
competent Guru or preceptor, keeping intact purity of thoughts, words
and deeds, sincerity and deep seated belief in repeating mantras
systematically and without any stress or strain on the brain or body,
are the key-notes for the efficacy of Mantras. They protect human from
different malefic effects of other evil elements. Mantras corresponding
to different planets when recited properly are considered to protect the
person from the bad effect of that planet. The recitation of words of
mantras should be pure and correct in order to create the right
vibrations. |

Mantra is a set of particular words in a particular configuration and
rhythm by chanting which one can fulfil one's wish. Mantra is a complete
set of words from the Vedas attributed to the deities or Devas. Mantras
have come down to us from our Maharishis, Saints, Sadhus and Yogis who
after recitation of Mantras for several thousand years guided us to
follow them. Mantras are single or strung together syllables. Mantras
are used in Tantrik sadhanas or rituals, whispered or chanted in
different combinations and contexts, setting up patterns of vibrations.
One must learn to pronounce them properly as well as to understand their
meaning. Hindus believe that god, good health, good fortune and victory
over one's enemies can be attained by chanting the right mantra.
According to the Puranas, Shastras and Maharishis, Mantra is the only
way to attain one's desires, provided one recites them with complete
faith and the prescribed methods and rules. The recitation of words of
mantras should be pure and correct in order to create the right
vibrations.
Mantra sadhana is very difficult. If during practice some drawbacks
remain, it can inflict losses. Without faith and belief, such practice
should be avoided. Guidance of a competent Guru or preceptor is quite
necessary to attain success.
All our problems are self-created. Usually they are the outcome of our
Karmas and the reasons can be checked from the individual Horoscope.
One's subconscious mind can help to find the solution through meditation
and recitation of Mantras.
Life is a complex combination of incidents and accidents. Can we use
MANTRAS AND TANTRAS in the right way to derive benefits out of them so
as to solve or eliminate the incidents and accidents? Yes, these can be
avoided or solved by the right use of the right Mantras.
Purity of thoughts, words and deeds, sincerity and deep seated belief in
repeating mantras systematically and without any stress or strain on the
brain or body, are the key-notes for the efficacy of Mantras.
Concentrate and meditate without having any of your problems and desires
in mind. The Mantra should be recited softly so as to audible only to
the person concerned and not to others. Mantras should be recited in a
pleasing musical tone which help in concentration.
Continuous sadhana will enable the sadhaka to find solutions to the
problems, attaining peace of mind and reducing mental strain. The
Mantras must be recited as they are. Any addition or alteration in the
Mantra must be avoided. If distorted or recited incorrectly, the power
of the mantra is lost and it ceases to have the desired beneficial
effect.
