Guest guest Posted August 20, 2005 Report Share Posted August 20, 2005 OM amriteshvaryai namaH Namaste Erica, The word Mantra in sanskrit is derived from 1. Mana : Mind 2. Trai : Protects or simple ... that which protects the mind!! As you may know, mantras can be formed in any languages including Arabic, Hebrew, English etc. But, sanskrit is supposed to be the language for spiritual mantras. The vowels/aplhabets in the Sanskrit language were not coined by somebody ... but its like this ... there are millions of nadis (micro-subtle-nerves)in our body, which criss- crosses each other at 51 different points, which form 51 unique sounds as a result ... which are the origins of Sanskrit language!!! So when you chant a mantra, these sensitive points in us are activated!! So you are correct ... chanting mantra has an effect. Now, it all depends what kind of mantras they are!! There are saatwik mantras like Gayatri ... which are very harmless (unlike what you seem to suggest ) ... and most of these saatwik mantras are self- correcting in nature, in that, even if you mis-pronounce it or do it incorrectly, they have the power in them to guide you to do it correctly!!! The tamasic or tantric mantras are like double-edge sword, and you better know what you are in for ... they typically need an able guru to guide you. So please beware!!! Most mantras ... will need to be repeated a lot lot lot of times, before they show their effects ... because of our karma, it is here when a realized soul like Ammachi ... who can potentize the mantra and make it quick and ultra-beneficial, its the result of putting her extra benevolent karma to you!!! Hence, a mantra from amma's (goddess) mouth is more potent than any other syllable in the world!!!

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2005 Report Share Posted August 20, 2005 Interesting because sometimes "Trai" is translated as "that which takes away" and sometimes as "a process". There are not exact translations for Sanskrit and we really shouldn't think like that. These things were taught in unbroken lineages of Guru to Disciple. Your Guru gave you the proper definition according to how he was taught by His Guru and His own experience. - naaraayana_iyer Ammachi Saturday, August 20, 2005 12:26 PM Mantras & Effects OM amriteshvaryai namaH Namaste Erica, The word Mantra in sanskrit is derived from 1.
