What are mantras?

NADA(sound) originated with the universe. The first sound was Omkar(The sound of om). This very omkar is everywhere in this universe and within us it is in the form of anhad Nada. There are many sounds hidden in this Omkar sound. If you listen to your chakras or anything outside in this universe every sound or noise whatever it is, you will come to the conclusion that all of these sound can be classified into 51 categories(Beej mantras). That is why Yogis placed 51 points in our sahastrara. If you divide this universe in 51 different parts then every part will be related to this one respective sound.

Everyone of these 51 sounds generates of particular effect. When these sounds are backed with certain emotions, they become mantra and they start manifesting your inner energies in the outside world. so, Mantras were sorted into different types by Mahadev like Saabar, Vedic, Tantrokt etc. Mantras are classified on their gender as well, whether they are masculine or feminine or neuter in nature.

You may think that what's different in mantras or any other words because in the root, both are just sounds. But, a subtle principle works behind this. when you are back this mantra with a certain energy and emotion which you get from your guru during your deeksha, this mantra gets connected with your manas and can take your desire to completion.
