Ever since the the time of vedas, we have believed in the powers of mantras and vedic chants. They are the words of magic, words of power, words of power, words that contribute to self empowerment and fulfillment of desires. Mantras are thought to be powerful enough to be used as a magical formula, incantation charm, spells to acquire supernatural powers or to shape reality according to one's own desires.
One would mainly find mantras in religions like Hinduism and Buddhism. In Hinduism mantra's are used to call upon a particular deity. It is thought that continuous chanting of a mantra and meditation creates a perfect energy field for the deity to come in the presence. A mantra can be a phrase like Gayatri Mantra or can just be a word like Om. Chanting of mantras when done in perfect environment and in the right state of mind can take one to a high level of mental activity not only of psychological degree but even in the realm of material things.
Mantras can be categorized into three groups namely Vedic Mantras, Tantrika Mantras and Puranic Mantras. These are again divided into three other categories Sattvika, Rajasika and Tamasika mantras. The Sattvika Mantras are chanted for inner illumination, divine grace, divine love, and self realization. Rajasika Mantras are chanted for the success of earthly needs and to have children whereas the Tamasika Mantras are a part of the dark world and are used to appease evil spirits so as to use them for harming others or in committing vicious deeds. Of all these, Sattvika is considered to be the most rewarding as it alone helps a human to break the cycle of rebirth and attain Nirvana.
Mantras are not only the source of energy in all forms, they are the pool of endless knowledge. When repeated in a uniform manner, the sounds thus created changes every aspect of a persons personality i.e physical, emotional spiritual, and mental. There are no better healers known than these mantras. At one go, they improve overall health, concentration powers, respirations and provide respite from any mental ailment.
And the best part, unlike medicines, mantras won't take any time in showing results.
