MANTRAS are mystic sounds which
produce certain type of energies. ‘Mananath Trayathe Ithi Mantraha’-
Mantra protects the person who recites it. This means Mantras are
primarily invented by great seers for the welfare of the society.
 The cosmic
energy we always receive contains different energies coming from different celestial bodies. Because we are part of our solar system,
the energies coming from the Planets in this solar system always fall
on us, and absorbed by our body. These energies are much needed by
every one of us. They drive our daily activities and decisions. Our
life force is indeed combined with these energies. When there is a
deficit of any of these energies, the related problems will arise.
For example, when there is a deficit of energy coming from Sun, health
problems like headache, bad eye sight, weakness of heart etc will
occur. Also there will be problems with one’s boss or government
officials. There will be obstacles in acquiring paternal property. We
can overcome all these problems by increasing the Sun’s energy in the
individual by adopting various techniques. Recitation of Sun’s Mantra
is the most effective technique.
What happens when a Mantra is
recited? When we repeatedly utter a Mantra we are tuning to a
particular frequency and this frequency establishes a contact with the
cosmic energy and drags it into our body and surroundings. Thus we
can balance the energies and also increase the level of a certain type
of energy, which promote certain actions and events. For example, if
we increase the Mercury’s energy level, it promotes us to take
intelligent steps in business.
All mantras came from the single sacred sound: 'Om'.
Om is a combination of 3 main sounds: Aa-Vu-Ma. (See the symbol of Om at right)
'Aa' represents Vishnu, the sustainer, 'Vu' represents Siva,
the destroyer, and 'Ma' represents Brahma, the creator.
Aa-also represents the Sun, Vu-the
Moon, and Ma-the Fire. There are more than 150
meanings uncovered from the sound 'Om', so far.
It is said that lord Siva was the first to reveal
mantras for the welfare of the mankind, through sages. (See him with his family at top left).
There are Mantras for every
thing. The ‘Gayatri Mantra’ recited by Hindus comprise 24 sounds,
each sound is loaded with the energy of a different type by ancient
sages. Thus there are 24 sages who contributed the sounds for Gayatri
Mantra. It is said that ‘there is no great Mantra than Gayatri and
there is no great god than the Mother’.
The main aim of Mantras is to
provide whatever the human beings long for. For example, the sound
‘Sreem’ represents Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth. Hence the Mantra:
‘Om Sreem Om’ will bring monetary success to a person who
recites it daily for at least 2 hours.
If you want to attract others
and get the things done by them, then ‘Kleem’ is the right sound for
you. This sound spells charm. So the Mantra: ‘Om Kleem Om’ will
increase your magnetism.
If you want to become more
dynamic and energetic and you want to get rid of general diseases, you
can chant: ‘Om Hreem Om’. Here ‘Hreem’ is a energy
reservoir.
If you are worried about the
intelligence and education of your children, let them recite: ‘Om
Iym Om’. Here ‘Iym’ represents Saraswathi, the goddess of
Education.
A lot many people face
illhealth and suffer a lot, because of the deeds committed in their
previous births. For them, to get rid of health problems, and live a
full life sanctioned by God, they should recite ‘Om Joom Saha’.
This is called Mrityunjaya (Winning on Death) mantra and should be
recited for atleast 2 hours daily.

should recite a Mantra when at peace. He/she should get up early in
the morning, take bath, start reciting the mantras at the time of Sun
rise. One should maintain piousness and avoid Non-vegetarian food,
alcohol, and other stuff, which make the functioning of the brain
improper. Most important is: one should find a Guru (divine guide),
who tells what type of Mantra is suitable to alleviate one’s problems,
and also teaches how to recite the Mantras. Without proper guidance
from Guru, one should not venture to start chanting the Mantras.
