What is a Mantra and How Does It Work ? Mantras are powerful
sounds. Mantras are the ones that have when chanted produce
great effects. These are chanted repeatedly and that is called
Japa. Japa is a key part of Hindu Mantras are very rich in their
meaning. While doing japa one can meditate on the mantra and its
meaning. As the mind dwell more and more into that, the mantra
conditions the mind and takes up to the higher states and forms
the path to the great liberation - eternal bliss ! What makes
mantras so special as compared to the normal words ? Mantras are
not human composed. One may wonder how can that be possible.
Especially given that there are sages associated with the
mantras ! The point to be noted is that these sages are not
composers of these mantras, as we normaly compose the sentences;
they are not the inventors, but they are the discoverers of the
mantra. They get to know the mantras in a state in which these
words do not emanate from their thoughts, but they are just
passive audience to it. T
