The man lives in a world of mystery, surrounded by invisible occult forces that mould and shape the entire universe. Mantra means 'revealed sound'. A mantra is a specific combination of letters or words which has hidden within it a mysterious divine power, to bring about certain results on being used in a particular manner.
Each mantra is chanted in a repeated, rhythmic and continuous manner that creates a stream of specific vibration in the universe, which creates a pattern of rhythmic resonate in the mind of the seeker, producing purity, divinity, spirituality and desired effects.
The science of mantra or spells is very ancient and widely practised in all parts of world as a powerful purifying and transforming tool leading to concentration, absorption and illumination.
Presiding deity of the mantra
Each mantra has a presiding deity to whom it was revealed and attains divine self realization by meditating on it. The particular deity of a specific mantra is the manifestation of the higher self who bestows the powers, fulfilments and supreme realization to the seeker.
When we meditate on the particular deity our heart becomes illuminated with his light, divine love and we attain super consciousness.
Nature of the Mantra
Every word has a specific weight, shape, size, form, power quality and colour. It is a force like gravitation, cohesion or repulsion having a definite frequency, vibration and energy.
A normal human being can perceive only a limited range of sound vibrations because of his limited audibility. Every motion has a vibration and every vibration is having a subtle sound which is inaudible to normal ears.
A mantra is a vital and a living dynamic power, whose persistent and systematic repetition can awake our latent spiritual urges.
Travelling medium for the mantra
Mantra is like a vibration hence needs a specific kind of medium for travelling. Generally the sound can travels in the air, solid and water medium.
The physical form of the mantra appears to travel in the ether medium, but the subtle energy of the mantra travels in the Manas or Mind-Substance filling all space like ether and serves as the vehicle for the mantra.
When a mantra crosses Manas- substance it gives rise to a specific vibration and travel in the direction of desired deity of that mantra.
Spiral circulatory path of the Mantra
Each mantra acts like a bride between the seeker and the presiding deities of those specific mantras. Generally the ordinary sound vibrations travels in all directions but in the case of mantras, the words are arranged in such a way that these vibrations make a unique kind of spiral spring connection to the deity of that specific mantra, and the echo of that mantra returns back with the added divine and subtle qualities of that deity to the aspirant.
A mantra is like a Boomrang. Whatever spell or mantra you send out of you mind in the universe, comes back to you. So be very careful of yours choice for the mantra.
For e.g. in the famous Gayatri Mantra the presiding deity is the Sun. By chanting Gayatri Mantra a circulatory spiral spring psychic connection is being made between the aspirant and the presiding deity [the Sun], the vibrations of the mantra reaches the Sun, by travelling through the Manas-substance medium and returns to the aspirant with the added qualities of heat, light, electricity and the subtle and physical qualities of solar energy that benefited that person spiritually, mentally and physically
Signs of Success in mantra chanting
The mantra appears before the mind's eye [third eye] in the letter of fire, is the sure sign of success in the mantra chanting.
The seeker may experience that the mantra is being constantly repeated within him without uttering it.
The seeker may feel the living presence of his deity. Purity, holiness and elevated consciousness are the definite signs of success in mantra chanting.
Material and spiritual desires begin to fulfil.
