Question: Does everybody have his own mantra?
Sri Chinmoy: Yes, everybody has his own
mantra. There are many, many Sanskrit
mantras. A
mantra can be only one syllable, or it can be a group of syllables or a sentence. But in the Indian scriptures it is said that if you want mental illumination, you can practise the
mantra. If you want purity, you can use this
mantra. If you want some other quality you can also use this
mantra. AUM is a
mantra which is most effective for anything and for anybody.
