Mantra and Chanting have long been associated with Yoga Practice. The sounds of Mantras are far more forceful than other sounds. Etymologically, the word “mantra” is derived from the verb “man,’ which means “to think,” and the suffix “tra,” which denotes instrumentality. A mantra then is literally an “Instrument of Thought” that concentrates, intensifies, and spiritualizes our consciousness.
Aims And Objectives
To deepen one’s thought for developing the enlightened mind.
To become aware of the self and observe mental relaxation.
