Effect of Mantras on Mental Health

Abstract

Mantrashave their own history of discovery and mastery of inner realms of consciousness by a long line of masters and seekers of spirit. Mantras have great significance in the mental and spiritual evolution of harmony.Our spiritually empowered, eminent ancestors – the rishis, knew this fact and had therefore developed a whole gamut of mantras for specific purposes and had also devised the methods of experimentation with use of these subliminal tools.Mantras and yantras have been in existence since prehistoric times. The Vedic scriptures describe that once the devas (gods) and the asuras (demons) argued as to what was superior – mantra or yantra? The demons regarded yantras as superior and mightier as material resources and capabilities were more important to them. The gods affirmed the prominence of mantras; that is, spirituality was of greater significance to them.
