A Background on Mantrams

A Background on MantramsTypical mantrams are: Aum, meaning Spirit, the Word of God, which creates, preserves, and transforms; or the Tibetan Buddhist mantram
Aum Mani Padme Hum
which usually is translated as "Om the jewel is in the Lotus Hum;" ** or the Hindu mantram
Asato Ma Sat Gamayo
which means "Lead me from the unreal to the Real." **
There are thousands of mantrams which are mainly from the ancient Sanskrit language. Possibly, in time, mantrams will be in English as well as Sanskrit. What such a development would require is a number of great meditators of modern day to be so attuned to the Lord and so at ease within the realms of higher consciousness that these new mantrams can easily be revealed to them.
All mantrams are the result of a revelation, usually to some deeply meditating adept.
