Mantra - A sacred verbal formula repeated in prayer,
meditation or incantation, such as an invocation to God or
a syllable or portion of scripture containing mystical potentialities.
A sacred mystic syllable, word or verse used in meditation
and japa to quiet the mind, balance the inner bodies and attain
other desired aims. (Himalayn
Academy)
Mantra is a sound or set of sounds which mirror both our Source
and the original movements of creation. It therefore has the
unique power to bypass the chaos of our physical, emotional
and mental movements and restore us to a state of pristine
harmony. Mantra Yoga is traditionally regarded as a complete
and perfect yoga path. Its utter simplicity belies an awesome
profundity and joy.(Shantimandir)
