Ancient scriptures affirms that the entire cosmic creation began with sound. Like the Bible, which states, "In the beginning was the Word." (John 1:1) Mantras, or sacred sounds, are used to pierce through sensual, mental and intellectual levels of existence for the purpose of purification and spiritual enlightenment. In the yoga tradition, sound is used as a powerful tool for inner transformation. For many centuries the term Mantra has been used for any sound vibration that has spiritual, healing or mystical properties. The word mantra itself means the sound vibration for liberating the mind. It is derived from the words Manas, which means the mind, and Trayate, which means to liberate. Maha-mantra means the great chant for liberating the mind.
