The Origin of Mantras. The literal meaning of the term "mantra" is the force that enables the energy which is in the form of the mind, to become free". You could also say that a mantra is the element which releases the energy from the mind. This element is known as vibration. Physics teaches us that everything is in a state of vibration; from the smallest electron to the largest universe. All kinds of forms and figures can be manifested by repeating certain mantras. All of this occurs because the mantra is a subtle force which is being transformed into the comprehensive form of sound. The sound is a vibration which is being materialised. Every letter of the mantra has an energy vibration and these vibrations are stored in a condensed form. When we repeat a mantra, we are activating, and releasing the vibration from that condensed form. By making the sound of the mantra we are expanding the vibration and bringing the subtle forces f the condensed form into objective manifestation as sound, and so we begin to experience actual form. The Sanskrit word AUM which we can see or read, is not the actual shape of Aum. It is the Aum vibration being stored in the visual image. When we make the sound of the mantra Aum, and go on repeating it, we begin to see many, many different forms and figures being released from it. Every letter of a mantra represents a particular quality and contains a particular frequency of vibration. The AUM consists of three letters in Sanskrit. The three letters represent three types of vibration - peace, calm, and tranquillity. The principles of mantra were revealed to the ancient yogis who, during deep meditation states, sensed the subtle vibrations and began to express or translate them into the form of words. The mantra vibrations can be used for many purposes i.e. healing, infections, indigestion, fever, infections, peaceful sleep, etc. In fact there are mantras which influence each and every aspect of our lives.
