What is a Mantra?

The mantra is an utterance of a sound or a syllable. By chanting the mantras, one can reach the higher stage of the meditation known as 'Turiya' and 'samadhi.' The word 'Man' refers to the mind, and 'tra' refers to the vehicle in the Sanskrit language. All the mantras emanate from the Sanskrit language. The language gives importance to the utterance of the Sound or vibration. If you change the Sound, the meaning differs. You have to give more importance to the Sound. In other words, you can control your mind through the mantra and attain the stage of 'deep meditation’ called 'samadhi.' Thus, you will achieve spiritual realisation like knowing yourself and realising 'what have you come for.' It is like, you nurture the soul by chanting the mantras.

Mantras are not only a mere sound; it also represents your intention. It is like preparing yourself for a long journey. Just chanting the mantra would benefit you in a lot more ways, and it will be more effective if you strive hard. The mantra must be uttered carefully with proper understanding and awareness to benefit. It would be best if you regularly did to attain clarity in chanting and attain higher benefits.

Every matter has a form, and Sound also has a structure or pattern. If one utters appropriately, the design becomes more solid and robust, or else, it may damage the body parts. All your senses are inactive when you sleep, and you may enter into a deep sleep. You regain your consciousness through the hearing sense organ as Sound can penetrate your sleep. Therefore, Sound plays a vital role in all matters, and all the living entities are sound sensitive. When one utters the Sound, it induces a specific form and establishes the relationship between the structure and the Sound. 

There are different mantras, and each reverberates to a particular body part. People chant the mantras differently according to their native tones (accent). For example, a Tamil-speaking person chants the mantra differently; the Hindi-speaking person chants the same mantra differently due to the vernacular language. Likewise, a foreigner may chant the same mantra differently. Therefore it is better to learn the proper way of uttering the mantra. Suppose the mantra is chanted adequately under the guidance of a trained professional, then the mantra is enchanting, and it is empowering.
