Have you ever wondered why in ancient times people used to have a sense of peace? People were relaxed and stress-free but now they are not. Our ancestors used to meditate to keep control over oneself and find inner peace. Today man is behind all the material possessions but what he truly requires is to be content with what he already has. Money may bring you material happiness but the inner peace would be missing. No possession will bring you such content.<\/p>\n

In the Vedic time’s people, specifically, the Yogis used to chant various hymns and mantras. Yogis discovered how to keep control over one\u2019s desires, find the meaning of their presence in the world, connect with their soul in a true manner, and live a serene life.<\/p>\n

\"MANTRAS<\/p>\n

Mantras for meditation are the greatest treasure that mankind possesses but we still haven\u2019t figured out the true power of it. Some say mantras will make your life composed while others see mantras as a means of holding power and use it in a negative manner. There are more than 10 million mantras in the world; some are short as a word or even a single letter while others are really long.
\nMantras hold the power to connect you with your soul and use your whole mind, body, and soul to live a sustainable life. When man utilizes his full potential imagine what he will be able to achieve!
\nMeditation mantras are composed in such a way that will help you find your concentration just like it helped the Yogis. Mantras for meditation are such potent words that have the power to transform the person and in the long run society as a whole.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s see some of these great Mantras for Meditation: –<\/p>\n

1. \u0950 \u2013 Om\/Aum<\/h3>\n

You may have seen people chanting this particular hymn many times. It is often associated with Lord Shiva, but this mantra is used for other reasons too.<\/p>\n

OM is often learned by people who are new to meditating. Some people even say OM is the sound of the universe and the cosmos. It is universal and the constant chant of the mantra will help you reach the Nirguna state of the supreme authority that exists.<\/p>\n
