The basic principle of Mantra Sadhana is the practice the Utterance of the sound with such intensity, fervor and determination that your whole being starts to reverberate with that sound you become that sound; that transports you to another dimension of consciousness. Science believes that there are two types of energies: potential and kinetic. Mantra science says the same thing but takes it a step further. In mantra yoga, while kinetic energy is an aspect of potential energy, the movement in energy causes sound, when this sonic aspect of energy is harnessed, it becomes the creative energy. This potent creative energy can be used to aid creation, destruction or sustenance of your world, dreams, goals and desires . Mantra yoga is about going to the source all sounds ,the first voice ,the originator ,shabda- Brahman ,so you may connect with the universe at a different level altogether ,a level beyond comprehension to average mind .
Six limbs of a mantra (shadanga ) are 1- selecting your mantra 2 –checking it for flaws 3- correcting the flaws in mantra 4–infusing life in your mantra 5 –chanting your mantra 6—hurdles in invocation and other considerations .Along with flaws every mantra have Rishi (seer) ,Devata (deity) ,Beeja (seed ) ,Shakti (energy) ,chanda (meter) ,kilaka (lock ) . To Select the right mantra first you have to check the elemental compatibility .If you and your mantra are compatible the chance you being able to invoke the mantra are extremely high.
