Mantra Therapy

Mantra Therapy is an anthology of 365 Mantras which have been compiled by Acharya Mahapragya from various Jain scriptures.

The essence for the power of mantra lies in establishing oneness with the goal. Thus, it is important to pay particular attention to (i) Place (ii) Time (iii) Chanting (iv) Concentration (v) Breath

Acharya Mahapragya states that in Jain philosophy all souls possess infinite powers. We need to harness this power within our selves.

Mantra is the medium of searching for this inner power. Practice of mantra is thus a way of self empowerment. A mantra is a sacred verbal formula repeated in a prayer, meditation or incantation, such as an invocation to God, a syllable or portion of a scripture containing mystical potentialities. Etymologically MAN means mind and TRA means protection. Thus mantra is something which protects the mind. Mantra is an armour. Not even a single atom can penetrate it. Mantras have enormous powers. Sound waves can open tightly closed doors, turn ignorance to knowledge, sorrow to joy, weakness to strength. Different sounds have different effects on human psyche.

Correct pronunciation and intonation of Mantras is extremely important. It is essential that there is harmony between recitation and breath. Certain organs of our body emit bioelectricity. Words get charged with the electricity and the resultant vibrations create energy. Sacred utterances or chanting of mantras therefore provides us with the power to attain our goals and lift ourselves from the ordinary to higher level of consciousness. Mantras give us the power to cure diseases, wars of evils, gain wealth, acquire supernatural powers and worship a deity for exalted communication. Continuous chanting of mantra (jaap) begins with words but eventually words disappear and the devotee attains one-pointedness or extreme focus, on the chosen deity or principle idea of the mantra. MANTRA comes alive and there is radiance everywhere.

Samani Punya Pragyaji has melodiously recited 365 mantras which have been incorporated into a YouTube playlist which provides a detailed guidance on chanting of the mantras having various spiritual and physical benefits.
