The word mantra is based on the Sanskrit roots ,manas (mind) and trai (device). In Hindu and Buddhist usage, it has come to mean “spiritual sound formula.” Hindu scripture calls mantra “that which, when contemplated and repeated, will offer protection.”
The proper study 0f Sanskrit mantra includes physical anatomy; the system 0f subtle channels in the body; diagrams of spiritual energy processing centers (chakras); and the human voice, which powerfully influences all of the above. Sanskrit mantras are also key to techniques for awakening kundalbz4 a subtle power cell located at the base of the spine.
HOW MANTRAS WORK AND USING YOUR MANTRA
Please understand that if you undertake to work in a disciplined manner with any 0f these mantras, you will be setting certain forces in motion. The energy of the mantra itself will work in a specific way with your intention, adding focus and power to the practice. Your job is to be ready to receive the result — which may not necessarily match your expectations.
Mantra practice can be done anywhere: in your car, while performing household chores, etc. It is beneficial, however, to select a quiet place where you can ground your daily meditation and mantra practice. Here, you may prepare an altar on top of a dresser, in a closet, or even in a free room, if possible. You might wish to place pictures of spiritual teachers or icons, mala4 (rosaries used to count repetitions), and other devotional items on your altar.
There are two primaiy ways in which mantra is traditionally practiced. Which one you choose will depend upon the circumstances 0F your life and the urgency ofyour intention.
The Forty-Day Approach
Chant the mantra 108 times twice a day (or as much as possible) for
forty days. Most people will achieve some kind of significant result through this process.
Repetition by the Numbers
Traditionally, one must chant a mantra 125,000 times in order to achieve continuing profIciency with the practice. This may sound like a lot, but consider that for a short mantra, one hour 0f repetition per day totals between 2,500 and 3,000, depending on your speed. At 25 per hour and one hour per day, you will reach the goal 0f 125,000 in just Fifty days — less than two months.

SEED MANTRAS
The simplest mantras are called “seed sounds.” These short, powerful sounds are mantras in themselves, and also building blocks for longer mantras. In Hiadu tradition, each seed sound is typically associated with an anthropomorphized deity: a fabricated being — such as Shiva, Saraswati, or Lakshmi who embodies the principle of the sound.
Having a familiar, human-like form with which to associate these principles makes it easier for our minds to understand their raw power.
Whether one calls these beings “principles”, “ancestors,” or “gods and goddesses” does not matter over the long term. The powers they represent can change our lives for the better, no matter what we may believe or how we imagine them. Here are some primary seed sounds and — where applicable — the anthropomorphized principles associated with them.
Shrim [pronounced “shreem”]: This is the sound for the feminine principle of abundance called Lakshmi. Repetition of the Shrim mantra produces the abilit
