One of the key aspects of Mantra Meditation is the mantra given by the teacher to the student. This mantra is a word or phrase which will be continuously repeated in order to create the meditative state where the student is able to transcend the limitations of the mind.

Mantras In Meditation

 In Mantra Meditation the mantra given to the student will vary according to a number of different factors. Included among these are the year in which the student was born and in some cases their gender. The year in which the teacher was trained will also affect the mantra provided. The teacher will have been given a list of mantas to use and this list varies depending on which year they received their instruction.

 Selecting The Right Mantra For You

 Below you will find a list of over 50 mantras that you can use in your Mantra Meditation practice. As you will see you have a range of mantras that you can choose from according to your age and gender. When selecting a mantra you should select one which is easy for you to use and remember. The mantra should resonate with you and create the sensations and state that you desire. Finally the mantra should feel effortless to repeat so that you can lose your sense of self in its repetition.

 How Mantras Work

 While mantra meditation is a spriritual practice the science of how mantras work is actually well known to us. Firstly mantras provide a point of focus. By having a word or phrase that we can center our attention on we are able to free ourselves from the constant internal chatter that is going on in our mind.

 Mantras also have different vibrational qualities. This is why a unique mantra is selected for each student. By intoning a specific sound we can create that same vibrational quality in our body. For example the vibrational quality produced by the words “love” and “hate” are very different. If you speak these two words to yourself you will be able to feel the difference in the internal sensation that they create. Using specific mantra’s we produce the positive energy that we desire.

We will start with the most famous mantra of them all:

  1. Thank you so much for making the list available for us and uploading the instructive video. Best wishes:)

  2. I got a TM mantra from a qualified TM teacher. But your pronunciation for my mantra is different than what I was taught. And I’m assuming correct pronunciation is important.

  3. Oh my gosh…

    This is, wow. So I was looking for a mantra, and I am fifteen. And Enga popped out to me. I had SO hard a time finding the definition of the word. Finally I found what the meaning of the name is (as in if you were named Enga) and it was totally me. THANK YOU SO MUCH

    “You are fine when in harmony but changeable when in discord, because many of your best qualities are then reversed. You are entertaining but may be impulsive. Freedom is a necessity, and you find it difficult to settle down. Your versatility results in many changes, and often brings travel. Your fine intellect is capable of high honors if applied seriously. You are capable of inspired thinking applied to material things. You can be restless, changeable, and very sexy.You have an eventful, exciting life. You are versatile and have the ability to learn easily. you desire to inspire and lead, to control other’s affairs. You are giving, courageous and bold, action oriented,energetic and strong willed. You want to make a difference in the world, and this attitude often attracts you to cultural interests, politics, social issues, and the cultivation of your creative talents.”

  4. In the video, the young lady isn’t saying anything. Are you supposed to repeat the mantra in your head or chant it out loud?

  5. Hello and thank you for the information.

    May I enquire you about the entire process of this meditation? I read somewhere that after 20 minutes you should stop the mantra and start thinking about yout goals, objectives and dreams for 2 minutes before opening your eyes.
    Is that correct?

    Also, how do I measure the 20 minutes? Can I set an alarm with some sort of calm ring? If I stay in the meditation state for over 20 minutes can it do harm?

    And last, do I change the mantra when I get into another age range or do I keep this one forever?

    Thanks a lot.

  6. I was given mantra 25 + years back after friend
    Paying for Transcendental ..

    Can anyone help please..
    Thank you

    1. I had been practicing about just a month in 20+ year ago. Recently I try to remind it by doing meditation, and the mantra came back. amazing! you should try

  7. Thanks for detailed instruction. Whether the Mantra should be changed according to the age increasing or keep using the one when we start with. Best wishes,

    1. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/7417197f8aace71ffdaff7cfb3557a6c3a62149cc03ef6af3ddeaedeb8a0da28.png Hello Seak,
      According to my training as a TM teacher in 1974: My understanding is you use the mantra you were given at the time of your initiation. You receive more parts to your mantra when you go to get your advanced technique. This means you get initiated again and are given another mantra to add to the original mantra you first received.

      The additional mantras that make up the various advanced techniques have been published online. You can easily figure out the meaning to each one of the various advanced techniques.

      Knowing the actual meaning of the advanced technique mantras makes it clear that the TM mantras are not meaningless sounds. They have very clear and exact meanings.

      I think the reason His Holiness, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, had his teachers say that the mantras were meaningless sounds is because of the public relations nature of promoting TM.

      RELATED CONTEXT:

      The TM movement has a flexible relationship with the truth when it comes to full disclosure about the meaning of the initiation ceremony, the mantras, and other components of the knowledge they teach and promote.

      I think that it would be best to just tell it like it is, and let the chips fall where they may. If you are a hard-core, fundamentalist version of the Veda. and a disciple of a tradition that worships Gods and The Guru—say it loud, and say it proud. Nothing to hide.

      In 1984, I was in a big meeting in Fairfield, Iowa, at Maharishi International University—which by the way, is an accredited university—and one of the really top guys in the movement, an Indian monk, told the audience that Maharishi was more important than God.

      The monk’s comment was related to the concept of the importance of the guru to the disciple. Within the tradition of the guru, it is often said that the guru is more important than God.

      However, you can imagine what would happen if during a public lecture about TM, the full and complete translation of the puja was given to the audience. It might make some people decide that TM was a religion.

      This is because the Holy Tradition places the guru at the top, and all the deities are subsets of the guru. The guru is the deity…fully realized, in the flesh.

      My personal journey within this context has absorbed the fact that God is first. God is the ultimate guru. The fleshy mortal being is one manifestation of God…not the other way around.

      What does any of this have to do with changing your mantra based on getting older? It means that the guru can really help you to make good choices about such things, rather than relying on Google God to sift through the opinions of people who may not be as enlightened as you might want.

      But following a guru comes with its own set of special perils. To understand what I mean, please consult the various scandals of some of the big-time gurus.

      Choose your guru with care.
