Actually a Mantra is a particular name for God, but by common usage it now is taken to mean something else ; it is a form of prayer, it is the repetition of something sacred whereby one gains power. If one repeats a Mantra conscientiously and reverently one attains to purification of thought.
A Mantra should only be used for good, and never for bad, for there is an old saying that He who digs a grave for another may fall in it. Thus it is that Mantras should only be used for good, they should only be used unselfishly and to help others.
In the Christian Bible it is stated that faith moves mountains ; the same could be said about a Mantra.
A Mantra used properly has very, very strong effects, and the more it is used the more it builds up power. Here is a very simple illustration of how it builds up power :
A violinist can play a certain note on a violin. If he just touches on the note he only makes a sound, but if he keeps on at the same note he can cause a glass to shatter and crumble because playing on that note has induced a vibration in the glass which eventually becomes more than the elasticity of the glass can handle, and so the glass breaks.
In the same way a Mantra increases the vibration for good or for bad, but when used for bad it often turns on the one who utters it.
One Mantra, or Sacred Invocation is 'Om Mani Padmi Hum,' or, as the Indians say Ram Ram Ram.
It should be realised that all sounds and words can influence matter, can even influence inanimate objects. Probably everyone has heard of the statement Mind over matter. Well, it is correct, Mantras influence matter according to the thoughts of the human mind.
