Mantrashastra (the science of Mantras)
: Shodhganga: Kasyapa Samhita—Text on Visha Chikitsa (mantra)Chanting a Mantra in respect of a deity, enhances the aspirant’s concentration, cognitive skills and memory levels. Mantras are syllables or phrases which release positive energies when chanted. Repeated and proper chanting of a mantra, in the prescribed manner, brings immense benefits such as release from stress and the fear of the unknown, besides keeping at bay, all negative vibrations. It has been scientifically proven that chanting of mantras like Praṇava and Gāyatri results in elevated meditative and concentrating powers, which in turn, help an individual to be focussed on his goal with renewed positivity and energy and bestows all-round physical, mental and emotional well-being on him.
Mantrashastra (शिल्पशास्त्र, Գٰśٰ) refers to the ancient Indian science of mantras—chants, incantations, spells, magical hymns, etc. Mantra Sastra literature includes many ancient books dealing with the methods reciting mantras, identifying and purifying its defects and the science behind uttering or chanting syllables.
