Mantras may be
used for religious worship, for healing, to help spiritual evolution and
for purification of the mind.
Pronunciation,
which is an important part of intonation, plays an essential role in the
recitation of a mantra, apart from the melody. But pronunciation changes
from country to country and place to place, as do melodies. Thus it is
primarily faith that creates the effect of the mantra.
In our meditation
room, we have chosen the seed Mantras for the healing of planet's effects
as given in the ancient Vedic texts.
Seed Mantras are
not for group chanting. It has to be chanted by an individual. Slow chanting
relaxes the mind, heart and breath if you only listen to it. However,
it is most effective only when the chanting is done individually.
The Seed Mantra
to harmonize and balance individual planets consist of two parts. The
first part is always "AUM" or "OM".
AUM or OM: The essence of all Mantras. The Upanishads say that "AUM" is God himself.
God in the form of sound is "AUM"
The second part
of the seed mantra of the planet is the concentrated form of the sound
that is invoking the planets. That is why these Mantras are called Seed
Mantras.
