Mantras for the new month – KBC

Originally, mantras, were uttered by Buddhists and Hindus, as they were believed to have psychological and spiritual powers. They come in many forms, such as verses, melodic tunes, or a simple single word.

Typically mantras are used during meditation but can be used whenever need be; such as when you need to overcome a stressful situation.
