The term "mantra" refers to a sacred word, sound, or phrase in spiritual traditions. Mantras are often repeated or chanted during meditation or spiritual practices and they have spiritual and psychological powers. Mantras are thought to invoke specific energies and aid in concentration, fostering a connection with the divine or a higher state of consciousness.

When recited or repeated, a mantra is believed to possess the transformative power to instil inner equanimity (calmness), establish a profound connection with the divine, and foster spiritual growth and knowledge.
