Mantra Yoga

In the Yogic world, mantras or chants are highly important elements, and practicing these chants can have a significant impact on all three levels of life; the physical level, the mental level and the spiritual level. The repetition of mantras is used to engage the mental faculties and for producing positive vibrations, which can bring about a variety of benefits for those practicing the chants and in some cases, even for people who are listening to the chants.

Benefits of Mantra Yoga
  • According to the fundamentals of Mantra Yoga, each individual mantra has a deity that presides in it and constant chanting of a mantra can help an individual in absorbing the power of that particular deity.
  • Positive vibrations are generated within the mind of the practitioner, which leads to an overall positive outlook towards life and every living thing in the world.
  • Devotion to Mantra Yoga can yield significant results by awakening the divine energy within the practitioner, which is vital in keeping both body and mind cleansed.
The 6 Parts of a Mantra
  • A religious teacher, to whom a mantra is disclosed for the very first time. The teacher then takes it upon himself to reveal it to aspiring practitioners.
  • Each mantra consists of a meter, and aspirants should always recite the mantra as it is meant to be.
  • There are presiding deities for each and every mantra.
  • A seed or a ‘bija’ is a common element in every mantra. Every seed gives the mantras a special power.
  • Mantras are full of energy.
  • Every mantra has a plug, but with constant repetition, the plug can be removed. In this way, practitioners can see the presiding deity.
