Explication Détaillée

Mantras are used in Hinduism, Buddhism, and other spiritual traditions to focus the mind and invoke spiritual energies. The most famous mantra is "Om" (or "Aum"), considered the primordial sound of the universe. Mantra repetition, or japa, is believed to create vibrations that align the practitioner with higher consciousness and bring about transformation.
