Mantra (devanāgarī: मन्त्र) is a Sanskrit word coming from the root man- (manas, "to think" or "mind") and the suffix -tra, ("tool" or "instrument"), meaning the "instrument of thought". A mantram can be a sound, syllable, word, or group of words used as a prayer, incantations, song of praise, or seed of meditation.
