Mantra Sadhana
Mantra Sādhana is a powerful and time, honoured practice that refines the mind, purifies the inner field, and aligns the practitioner with higher states of awareness. The repetition of sacred sound vibrations steadies wandering thoughts, awakens subtle energies, and builds a protective inner resonance.
Over time, mantra strengthens concentration, enhances emotional balance, and creates a deep sense of peace. It becomes a steady companion on the spiritual path – opening the heart, clearing inner obstacles, and guiding the practitioner towards a quiet, luminous mind.
“The aim of chanting is not to chant, but to bring about silence. One need not mistake the technique to be the goal. If the goal is felt, stop all chanting and subside into it. In quietness, enjoy to the best of your capacity.”
– Sri M
