Deepak Neupane, Kathmandu : Yoga has been in trend all over the world for more than a few decades now, so you must be already familiar with the word ‘mantra’ and the concept behind it. The word ‘mantra’ consists of two parts – ‘manas’ stands for ‘mind’ and ‘tra’ stands for ‘tool’, so literally it means ‘an instrument of the mind’. On the physical level mantra is a vibration, a word or a phrase that has a certain effect on your mind after you repeat it a few times.
All Indian mantras are in Sanskrit, an ancient sacred language that dates back to the 2nd millennium BCE. They vary in size and meaning, ranging from the short sound Aum (also spelled Om) that is considered to be the sound of Creation itself, to longer mantras like Om Namah Shivay (I bow to Shiva).
If you’ve been to at least one yoga class, you’ve heard some mantras playing and maybe even repeated a few yourself, so you know what I’m talking about. Yet mantra is much more than just your background sound for a yoga session. Here are 6 facts about mantra that will change your life.
Like so many great things, mantra comes from India, being a huge part of Hinduism as a religion as well as standalone spiritual practices.
You will find mantras in all religions as this powerful practice of chanting is the basis of any spiritual progress. For Christians it may simply be the word ‘Jesus’, while Muslims enjoy uttering the name Allah as a mantra. What matters is that the word is sacred, uttered with a certain intention, and on a regular basis. This is what they call japa in India, and it is designed to get to the roots of your Higher Self as well as your true nature.

Turkey may have deliberately targeted US forces with artillery in northern Syria in order to push them out, coalition sources have told the Daily Telegraph.
US officials confirmed an explosion occurred near where a small contingent of its special forces were based on a hill near the town of Kobane.
They said the cause of the explosion had not been confirmed but local reports suggested it was either an artillery or air strike. No US personnel were injured.
It was the first time a coalition base had come under fire since Turkey’s offensive began. US warplanes flew over the base immediately after the incident.
Turkey’s defence ministry denied targeting the US position, saying its forces were responding to Kurdish fire that originated nearby.
A spokesman said: “There was no firing on the US observation post. The firing was ceased as a result of the issue being relayed to us by the US.”
But a coalition source said there was nothing else around in the area that the Turks could have been targeting, apart form the US forces.
“It’s likely they are trying to push us out. Kobane is the heart and soul of the Kurds,” a source said. “If Turkey can get us to leave it’s all over.”
A US official in Washington said an explosion had occurrednear the US military outpost, but no personnel were hurt.
