L'univers des mantras

The mantra is both the reality of the divine essence and an instrument specific to making humans penetrate the divine creative language.  We can therefore consider it in terms of its transcendence and its immanence.  The mantra is therefore a major mystical process.

Thierry Guinot explains how mantras constitute "words of power" that have an effective potency.  It is Divinity, he says, that exists through the mantra; and as divinity exists throughout all creation, it is the entire universe that, as a mantra, glorifies its Creator.

This book constitutes the most extensive western work to date on the subject and focusses on enlightening the reader on this complex and fascinating world.
