Mantra [1]
a secret, the communication of which forms the chief ceremony of initiation in all Hindu sects. It generally consists of the name of some deity, or a short address to him; it is conveyed by the teacher to the disciple in a whisper, and when once known, is carefully concealed from all the uninitiated. The word mantra is also employed generally to denote a spell or enchantment, and also a hymn or a prayer.
