Use of Mantras in Yogic Chanting

The word Mantra is derived from the Sanskrit word  "Mananat Trayate". The word Mantra contains two words- "man" which means "to think" and "Tra" which means tool. The literal translation of the word Mantra refers "instrument of thought". Originated in India from the Vedic period, mantra is a sound, syllable, word, or group of words, capable of creating spiritual transformation. Today, chanting of mantras is a customary practice in all religions including Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism and Jainism. Mantras form an integral part of all spiritual movements. OM is the most commonly used mantra in all religions. Chanting of the mantra OM helps one to rejuvenate his senses and create a feeling of ease and calmness.

The practice of yoga and meditation involves chanting of mantras that creates a higher energy level for the practitioner. Chanting of mantras increases the concentration and self-awareness level of the individual. In realms of yoga or meditation, mantra helps to transcend the mind and emotions. With chanting of different mantras, the super-consciousness of the practitioner is clearly revealed and experienced. In yoga, Mantra leads a devotee to attain the state of Pratyahara. Pratyahara is a stage in Ashtanga yoga in which a practitioner sacrifice the worldly attractions and withdraw himself from external material objects. The Mantras have the capability of producing a powerful vibration and rhythm which corresponds to a specific spiritual energy frequency. Thus, use of Mantra in yoga practice helps an individual to free themselves from the grasp of material consciousness and direct his senses towards inner edification. The sounds produced by mantras guide a wandering mind and fixes it to the specific spiritual focus.

There are many methods of chanting mantras. They are Baikhari (Audible), Upanshu (whispering) and Manasik (Mental).  Mantras which are chanted aloud are known as Baikhari mantras. The Upanshu mantras are chanted in low voice or just by whispering so that only practitioner can listen. Manasik mantra refers repeating the mantra without whispering or pronouncing it aloud. Like yoga practice, chanting mantras have positive impact on the mental and psychological aspect of a human being. Through the energy based sounds that vibrate through the body, mantras help to for remove the negative tendencies of mind and re-vitalize the entire thinking process of a person. The synthesis of Mantra and yoga collaborates to create a deeper and subtle surrounding which, in the process, purifies the collective conscious mind. When a Mantra is chanted, a particular combination is repeated which in turn, leads to awakening powerful inner force. Thus chanting mantra in proper ways, will lead to ultimate salvation or union with super conscious.

There are mantras for every kind of Yoga and meditation practice, which leads an individual towards the path of ultimate truth. There are specific mantras for different types of yoga practice. Like in Kundalini Yoga practice mantras elevate or modify consciousness through their meaning and rhythmical repetition. The practice of Mantra Yoga helps one to reach the state of Samadhi. Samadhi is the state of full meditative absorption. The mind is fully concentrated and one transcends the limitations of the conscious state and gets the vision of Truth or Illumination.
