OK Mantras, but not too useful

I bought this CD to get a mantra. There are several to choose from. I don't have a guru. I practiced two mantras for the 40 day period and noticed no change in my life. One mantra appeals to Ganesha, a Hindu elephant headed god. I find this stupid. I'm very spiritual and find more value in praying to the Lord directly. It may work for other people ...

I love this CD

As always, Thomas comes through with these great mantra CDs. This one is excellent again, though I do wish he would have gone into ALL the planets and what parts of the body they rule. It was all very interesting and my favorite of the mantras is the Apadamapa one. Thomas' CDs always have so much content, you really get your money's worth.

An Excellent Primer

In this 80 page primer on Mantra meditation, Ashley-Ferrand admirably covers all the bases and provides numerous Mantras to work with. The book includes several chapers on spiritual phychology, destiny, the aims of human life, and the discipline of Mantra practice. He then offers chapters of Mantras for abundance, karma, dharma and so on. For each Mantra he gives a nice explanation of the goal of the Mantra and each element of the Mantra. The CD is excellent and is the only way you are really going to know how to recite the Mantras accurately without a personal guide. As usual, the Sounds True qualtiy is excellent.

A Tremendously Helpful Product and Practice

This form of meditation is not suited to everyone. It requires the ability to sustain new habits for an extended period of time. It also seems almost ridiculously simple. Given my busy life, simple looked good to me.

I could easily fit this form of meditation into my long commutes and it worked amazingly well to calm my mind and clear my thoughts. On that score alone it was well worth the time & cash investment, but there have been other changes of great significance that developed during my first 40 day chanting practice. Internally I found it possible to accept a formerly challenging situation of many years duration and even turn it into a pleasurable and productive activity, and to my amazement at the same time some difficult neighbors we've had for a very long time were given an eviction notice!

At the very least mantra practice is a natural tranquilizer, and at the very best it might actually work with vibration to modify psychic and social structures. I would say the purchase and use of this product has really changed my life, and could not recommend it more highly to one who is willing to work at it and give it some time.

Great tool to quiet busy mind

The CD contains mantras with explanation how to use them and how they are suppose to work. Each mantra is chanted by the author at least 7 times (7~108) depending on the importance or length of the mantra, I guess)so you can get the feeling and get the pronunciation right. Mantras help me personally to quiet down chattering in my mind.

reviews: page 1, 2

The power of mantras was so great that the Buddha himself was concerned about their misuse in the hands of merchants and generals. Mantras are "sacred sound syllables" that can effect changes to your inner psyche and the external world. Today, Thomas Ashley-Farrand ? one of the foremost authorities on Vedic and Buddhist Sanskrit mantras in the West ? makes these sacred sounds widely available in a new integrated book-and-CD learning set.
