Mantra

Mantras and meanings.

Mantras are sacred words, phrases or sounds chanted or recited repeatedly as part of the spiritual practices of Hinduism, Buddhism and the wider Indian traditions. The word "mantra" comes from the Sanskrit man — to think — and tra — tool or instrument. A mantra is a tool for focusing and steadying the mind, and for connecting with higher consciousness or divine energies.
