Guest guest Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 who is supposed to be giving the results of chanting of mantra (mantra phala) ..Mantra means which has to be repeated and understood. Literally it means the verse which explains the prescribed meaning: Man- to repeat (manana) and tra - the power of trana. There are different forms of mantra, such as the "seed" (bija) mantra, which is thought to be an energy pervading both the human body and the universe. The deities are believed to be manifestations of bija mantras: Shiva, for example, is linked with the mantra "hrim" and Kali is associated with the syllable "krim". There are mantras that accomplish many kinds of wondrous deeds simply by correctly chanting them. Other mantras help purify one's consciousness, give spiritual enlightenment, and put one in touch with the Supreme. Hindus also believe that a mantra received from a saint or holy man is far more effective than mantras picked from a book. A mantra that has already helped someone to have God-realization is believed to have great spiritual potency. Such a mantra is called a siddha mantra. There are two mantras that are especially recommended in the Vedic literature. One is omkara or the om mantra , and the other is Hare Krishna Maha Mantra. Hindus believe that these two mantras can deliver one to the realm beyond material existence. Yours George Pillai http://rudraaksha.com Meet your soulmate!
