​“Mantras” are powerful syllables that is said to have revealed in the consciousness of ancient rishis which are capable of transforming one’s mind. Mantras form part of Vedas, chanted during auspicious occasions with the intention to praise the Gods and Goddesses. 

Just like the normal words creating the sound when uttered through mouth, mantras also create sound, but with a vibration affecting the internal chakras in the body. Certain cells in the body, are activated through this vibration.  This helps to control the mind by increasing the awareness and concentration. Chanting of mantras in its specific order brings the effect of Prayanam, a yogic practice of controlling the mind through breath control.

​The breath is controlled with a consequence of rhythmic chanting of mantras formulated as slokas. This in effect activates the brain cells. Usually, mantras are combination of different words starting with the syllable “Aum”. There are different types of mantras creating various types of sounds. 

Chanting of some mantras create nasal sounds, several others are chanted by giving importance to certain letters in the mantra, etc. Mantras belong to Vedas – Rig, Yajur, Sama chanted based on several traditions. “Aum” is considered as the source of all the mantras in Hinduism. The sound is created with the help of the lips, tongue, jaws, nose and throat. This helps in the smooth flow of prana through the nadis (channels) related to these organs. 

When the pranic flow is smooth through these nadis, the brain cells gets activated by bringing a good control over the emotions of the mind. When the emotions are controlled, naturally, the greed, anger, lust that makes the man mad is also controlled and as a result, the individual who practice the mantra chanting starts to live in the world with harmony. 

Mind is transformed automatically through the channelizing of the pranic energy through the nadis. The individual gets a good balance over the positive and negative energies of the mind. Just like the sound produced by any musical instrument that soothes the human mind, mantras are also powerful in brining tranquility in the mind.  

If the mantras are chanted in a group, the persons who chant and persons who are present in the presence also get benefitted out of it.  Generally, mantras are initiated by Guru to a disciple depending on the favorite deity of the disciple.  Repeated chanting of mantra takes the disciple to spiritual heights.

    Vedic Culture, which   is the culture of the original Himalayan Masters,    is one of the most advanced ancient civilizations.  It is a tradition which has given mankind several treasures such Yoga, Meditation, Conscious-Living and Vedic Sciences such as Ayurveda, Vedic Physics & Vedic Mathematics.

    It was always a scientific culture that understood the very mechanics and workings of this Universe. Their deities, their gods and goddesses were all a way of expressing and explaining these energies and their inter-working. Modern Quantum Mechanics is just starting to understand string theory, dark matter etc. which have all been fundamental to the Vedic understanding. Because of this, they developed ways and methods which allowed one to best tap into life-energy itself.

    Vedic Culture, as it was practiced by the Himalayan Masters, was always a "way of life" and not a religion.

    Their basic view was that, there is only ONE Supreme God-head (God as our creator) and each one of us can find our path to it- experience union with that divinity (Yoga) in their own way.

    Because of this, anyone with any religious affiliations and beliefs can still benefit from their knowledgeable ways of Vedic Wisdom.

    Our attempt here is to present this ancient wisdom in a modern light, so our readers can interpret the true, essential meaning more easily and then extrapolate it to their own specific scenarios and enhance the quality of their life and being-ness.
