What is Mantra?

Mantra
Sacred sound, rhythm, word of power.
Verb capable of catalyzing mind into material,
emotion into action!
Vibration that transmutes,
evolves and metamorphasizes.
Sound of the subtle nature.
Cosmic sound that potentializes.
Sound that, produced by a yôgin, harmonizes everything.

Sound that shakes your interior
and reorganizes your molecules.
Sound that generates resonance in your heart
and makes your soul profoundly loyal.

This is mantra!

Mantra can be translated as vocalization. It is composed of the root man (to think) + the suffix tra (instrument). This semantic construction is significant seeing as the mantra is frequently used to attain a state of “suppression of the instability of consciousness,” referred to as linear intuition or … meditation!
Mantra can be any sound, syllable, word, phrase or text that holds a specific power. For this reason, it is fundamental that it pertains to a dead language in which the meanings and pronunciations do not suffer from the erosion of regionalisms, trends and other forms of constant alterations that occur during the natural evolution of any living languages.
Where Yôga is concerned, only the Sanskrit language is accepted. From it, the mantras in our repertory have been extracted. These mantras should not be mixed with mantras of other languages or traditions in order to avoid the sadly infamous shock of egregores.

p.s. I will post what egregore means soon.
