Mantras, The meaning of mantras
Mantra (Sanskrit, "instrument of the implementation of the mental act", in another interpretation - "verse", "spell", "magic") - a sacred text in Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism, usually requiring accurate reproduction of the sounds that make up it.
Mantras are often compared to psalms, prayers and spells. Hindus believe that the mantra is a specific form of speech that exerts a significant influence on the mind, emotions and even external objects. Usually a mantra is a combination of several sounds or words in Sanskrit. In this case, each word, syllable or even a separate sound of the mantra can have a deep religious meaning (for example, one of the most famous mantras is the sacred sound "Om" in some religious philosophical doctrines it is considered to be a combination of three sounds (A, U and M), each of Which, in turn, has a variety of meanings and interpretations).
Mantras are of Vedic Hindu origin - the sacred texts of Hinduism contain many mantras. Later, mantras were adapted in Buddhism and Jainism. In a number of Hindu texts it is stated that mantras are only available to the three higher varnas, and all others must perform sadhana without recitation of mantras.
Mantras are ancient sound formulas in Sanskrit , the frequency of which coincides with the frequency characteristics of the universe. Thanks to this, the practice of mantras has a beneficial effect on the person and the space around him.
The meaning of mantras in the modern troubled world is especially great. The practice of mantras dissolves the negative and creates a powerful defense against the aggression of both the individual and the planet as a whole.

The meaning of mantras
This unique property of mantras has long been used in Tibet in the treatment of various diseases. (For the first time this is mentioned in the Tibetan treatise "Boom Shi", 1900 BC) The treatment was carried out by Drangson, people who possessed special spiritual knowledge.
Before the beginning of the practical application of mantras, they "moved away from the world" so that, after immersing themselves in deep meditation, develop consciousness, intuition, subtle physical perception.
Mantras were accompanied by all medical procedures, and any medicine was also "charged" with mantras, which increased its effect.
One of the most famous healing mantras is the Buddha Mantra of Medicine, the Buddha of Healing.
A complete mantra consists of two parts:
Om Namo Bhagavate Bekandze Bekandze
Guru Baidurya (the name of the Buddha of Medicine) Praba Rajaya Tatygataya
Arhat Samuiaksam Buddha
This part is pronounced 3 times, then the second part:
Tadjata Om Bekandze Bekandze Maha Bekandze
Radza Samudgat Soha
The second part is read (pronounced singspas) for prophylaxis 9 times, and to treat yourself or your loved ones - 108 times within 1-2 months.
For greater efficiency, before reading the mantra, one must turn to the Deity, whose glory is the mantra, and create an intention, for example:
I read the blessed mantra dedicated to the Buddha of Medicine in order to restore physical and spiritual health. This sacred mantra saturates my body with a beneficial Divine energy that gives energy to all systems of my body and brings me complete healing! Amen.
For a long time, mantras were inaccessible to ordinary people, and only now are widely spread, thanks to the spiritual leaders of different countries.
Scrolls with mantras are stored in Stupas, religious buildings that were first built in India, and then, thanks to the spread of Buddhism, began to be built around the world.
There are also in the former CIS, for example Stupa in Kyzyl (Tuva).
At a certain time, the Lamas (ordained in Buddhism) solemnly open the Stupa and, with a blessing, pass one of the mantras to the spiritual teachers.
Moving from teacher to disciple, mantras spread throughout the world, and, thanks to the Internet, they are now available to everyone.
