Dear Friends,
Mantra's are foundation principles of Vedas. All the Veda's is nothing but mantras. The mantras are group of phonemes. A Phoneme is a single unit of sound. It consists of a consonant (or single merged consonant) and vowel. Each individual phoneme may not have a literal meanings. They need to be experienced. For example try to repeat the word "Shreem", "Kleem" or "Kreem" (Whichever you prefer) for about 10 to 50 minutes in the morning just before sunrise. And try to experience your mental and physical feelings. This cannot be usually be described in words and hence is imparted only by experiencing.
One should understand that Material Science depends on external Experimenting and Concluding whereas,
Spiritual Science depends on Experiencing and Concluding for verifications.
