A mantra is a sound, syllable, word, or group of words that are considered capable of creating transformation ( spiritual transformation).Their use and type varies according to philosophy associated with the mantra. Mantras were originally conceived in the Vedas. Most mantras follow the written pattern of two line shlokas although they are often found in single line or even single word form. The most basic mantra is Aum, which in Hinduism is known as the pranava mantra, the source of all mantras. Aum is considered to be the most fundamental and powerful mantra. The seed syllable Aum represents the underlying unity of reality, which is Brahman. Mantras by eliminating the ailments can make the body physically, mentally and spiritually balanced.The Vedas refer this therapy as “Aatharvani chikitsa”, which works on 72000 Naadis(Nerves). The Surya Namaskar is performed usually early in the morning facing the morning rising Sun. The Namskar is done in 12 steps, each step having its own posture (including position and form) with its own breathing pattern (inhalation or exhalation), and its own mantra. The mantras chanted while performing the Namaskar generate minute vibrations in the body which helps and corrects functioning of all systems of glands in the body. The whole Namaskar process tones up the functioning of all systems in the body like sensory, respiratory,circulatory, digestive and nervous systems. And the result is Balanced state of mind and concentration and wide memory powers.
