Mantras: Words of Power

I have been involved in mantra repetition for years. Swami Radha's book has enhanced my mantra practice by giving me a better understanding of the benefits involved in daily mantra repetition practice. Swami Radha's approach to mantra repetition is from a Devotional perspective. Swami Radha thoroughly discusses mantra repetition from the history of mantra practice, to getting started and choosing a mantra that fits your personality, to all aspects of mantra practice after you have chosen a mantra. She also discusses the benefits derived from mantra chanting.

I practice Swami Radha's mantra practice and Teachings daily. From the results I have achieve with emotional stability and mental clarity, I would whole heartedly recommend to any student interested in not only calming their minds and live but actualizing advance states of Realization. Her teachings are both practical daily issues but leading to the kind of joy and peace of mind that is our Divine Birth Right.

My first experience with mantra yoga. It was an easy read that did not scare me off. I enjoyed this book and am glad I read it.

This lady spoke to me. Her spirit shines through the writing..Love her will be reading more of her work Namaste

Excellent meditational procedures for better perception and health

Swami Radha is a wonderful human being and was way ahead of her time by coming from western culture and learning the power of the mantra in her pilgrimage to India. Interestingly she emphasizes the importance of the song in mantra. However if you are looking to learn mantras this may not be the book you are looking for.

Excellent book!

This is a great book with thorough instructins on working with mantras. The only issue I had relates to gurus, which these books suggests one should have - though for those who really feel that they must have one, there are at least some decent admonishions in choosing one wisely. Just because one poses as a guru, doesn't necessarily make him neither an enlightened individual, nor someone who has your best interests at heart - so do watch out. I also think it best that one should follow one's inner wisdom and inner guidance. The focus of this book is more on the details related to the practice, rather than the diveristy of mantras. Several mantras are provided, together with interesting stories relating to the experiences of the author and others who have used them.

Well written book, Swami lives in the modern world but is not affected by it, a lessen to us all. Only one gripe….Would have been helpful to have the correct pronunciation of the Mantras included.

An excellent book on the sacred science of Mantras. The work is serious and presents a lot of theoretical and practical content, including knowledge and a lot of information for this sacred practice, both for practitioners and for those starting out on this path. Surprised me.

Concise, informative and easy to understand.

New to Mantra? Read this book to understand basics of this ancient power available and benefit to all on this planet without any difference of cast, creed, religion or geography. This is basic book. After reading this book recommend to read book Mantra by Om Swami for getting more understanding and knowledge on most of mantras.

Swami Sivananda Radha has spent many years engaged in spiritual work with mantras. What she writes is heart felt and with a deep understanding of the dynamics of mantras, the various ways to use them and their power to change and purify mind and body. No matter if you're just curious or have long been using mantras yourself you will most certainly find several goodies in this wonderful book. I loved it and benefitted greatly.
