Description

Use your mantram when you're ill or anxious, tired or restless, and it will guide you and comfort you like a true friend. The Mantram, or mantra, is a short, powerful, spiritual formula from the world's great traditions, repeated silently in the mind, anytime, anywhere. Easwaran, the author ofPassage Meditation and the best-selling translations ofThe Bhagavad Gita, The Upanishads andThe Dhammapada, taught the use of the mantram for forty years as part of his passage meditation program.
