The Beginner's Guide to Mantras

An expert on Vedic and Sanskrit mantras brings them into the mainstream with a brisk lesson on the basic types of mantras. As tools for finding spiritual balance and good physical health, mantras are often misunderstood because they're outside the bounds of language as we know it. They reference energy rather than meaning. In this lesson, the lively speaker overcomes this unfamiliarity by talking about mantras in practical ways that make them seem not so strange. His references to the chakra system and other ancient healing traditions broaden one's interest in the roots of mantras. This harmonious program will entertain and enlighten anyone open to learning about mantras. T.W. (c) AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine
