With the dramatic growth of interest in the religions and mysticism of the East, more and more people have become fascinated by 'mantras', the sacred formulae memorised for meditation in India, China and Tibet. Their precise meaning and exactly how they work have, understandably, long been surrounded by an aura of secrecy in order to guard against distortion and abuse.

The efficacy of mantras as an aid to meditation is beyond doubt- but many people believe that the syllables themselves are imbued with marvellous or miraculous powers.John Blofeld explores these more controversial aspects with great insight and sensitivity.

This is an interesting read for scholars and researchers of religion, Buddhism, and Hinduism.…
