Product Description
In 1978, Thomas Ashley-Farrand traveled to India for the first time, where he astonished the spiritual community there with his perfect command of mantra, the practice of using specific "sacred sound syllables" for spiritual and material transformation. Now, 20 years later, he shares for the first time his mastery of this ancient spiritual art on Mantra: Sacred Words of Power. Here is the first English language audio curriculum that teaches you how to use mantras to enhance the powers of your mind, influence the environment around you, and deepen your spiritual practice.

According to the Vedic tradition of India, the universe was birthed from pure sound. This symphony of vibrational energy continues to unfold at this moment, creating everything that we hear, see, and touch. In 12 fascinating sessions, Thomas Ashley-Farrand teaches you a library of traditional mantras with relevance to every area of your life. From work and health, to love and enlightenment – here are dozens of authentic chants that are used every day by millions of people to activate the energy of creation.

"The power of mantras comes not from the meaning of the syllables," teaches Ashley-Farrand, "but from their direct vibrational effect on our body’s physiological and energetic systems." He also teaches, "Sanskrit is an energy-based language, and mantras are spiritual formulas for working with this energy. They are designed to eliminate obstacles as we progress spiritually, and to help us make energetic progress toward the good." With Mantra: Sacred Words of Power, you can begin practicing these powerful chants to heal and change your own life – with the very first mantra that you chant. Includes a 36-page study guide.

5.0 out of 5 stars mantra: wonderful, easy, and powerful tool; change your life, December 16, 1999

By	"ib_spider" (southern california) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mantra: Sacred Words of Power (Audio Cassette)

Sanskrit mantra is one of the greatest tools to unlocking the creative power of the mind and heart and these tapes are your key into an ever expanding, dynamic, loving inner being. This key has been an eastern secret for thousands of years. Chanting mantras will change your life for the better! I feel more wonderful everyday through the positive transformation of these mantras. Please try this sample mantra known as one of the most powerful mantras and yet so simple: OM NAMA SHIVAYA. Learn what this and other mantras do from these tapes and Thomas Ashley-Farrand's book "Healing Mantras". May dynamic light and dynamic love guide, heal, protect, and enlighten you. Om & Prema, Vishwabhakta

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding Value; Masterful, July 17, 2005

By	DJ Hancock (New Zealand) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This six audio tape series (with study guide) is an excellent progression from Thomas Ashley-Farrand's beginners and Healing Mantra's series. I was wary of it repeating some of his entry level products on Sanskrit Mantra and I was happy to be proved wrong. This series builds knowledge, and goes a few steps deeper into such things as the seed mantras, karma, Avatars, masculine and feminine energies, attunements, physical organs, and the Gayatri Mantra. It does this without losing the benefits of the beginner's series, yet it also stands on its own. Its an elegant expression of what amounts to an incredibly dynamic and wise system of ancient spiritual practice.

A very well structured series, its easy to learn and to find specific areas of interest including a section on Tibetan Buddhism. Thomas Ashley-Farrand's passion and commitment is apparent to anyone willing to listen.

Its also a wise choice for audio tapes instead of 6 x CD's because if you're like me, I don't have a CD stacker in my car!

Regards,
Daniel John Hancock

This review is from: Mantra: Sacred Words of Power (Audio Cassette)

Having purchased many of Mr. Farrand's previous works direct from his website in the past, the inclusion of new, expanded audio works on the practice of Sanskrit Japa has greatly improved my understanding and retention of this ancient Yogic practice. Learn to manifest powerful change in your life through this beautiful daily practice. Namaste'...Hari Om.
