NATURE OF MANTRAS

Mantras are sacred vibrations expressed through sound. They are not merely words but spiritual formulas that carry energy and meaning beyond language. The true nature of mantras lies in their ability to connect human consciousness with universal forces, creating harmony between the inner self and the outer world.

Each mantra holds a unique frequency that influences the body, mind, and spirit. Ancient traditions describe them as tools to purify thoughts, awaken awareness, and align energy centers within the human system. Whether short seed sounds or longer verses, these vibrations act as bridges to higher states of consciousness.

Mantras are of two types,

1. Hot

2. Cold.

As per yoga tantra when we breathe only one of our nostrils is active. When hot air is blowing through the nostrils exuberantly then Surya nadi is active during which hot mantras should be chanted. Hot mantras are known as Agneya in Sanskrit language which are used for destruction purposes.

When cold air is blowing through the nostrils exuberantly then Chander nadi is active during which cold mantras should be chanted which are known as Saumya in Sanskrit language. Saumya mantras are used for good purposes.
