Mantra — “the freeing mind.” It is deciphered by two Sanskrit words: “man” means mind, “traya” frees. The mantra is beneficial not only for your mind but also for the atmosphere in the room where it is heard. For bodiless hostile living beings of the subtle plane (“spirits”), it is unbearable to be in a room where mantras are being chanted. They leave, and a harmonious and calm atmosphere settles in the room. In cases of frequent scandals at home and mutual misunderstanding, it may be the “spirits” who are to blame. Turn the mantras on quietly, to drive the spirits away. At that, they will resist, and in the first few days scandals may even increase; but after a week of listening to the mantras, they will go away and everything will be calm… even for the neighbors.
