A Little Bit of Mantras: An Introduction to Sacred Sounds : Cushman, Lily: desertcart.in: Books Review: 5 stars for the information packed in this book however, there are a few mistakes that should have easily been noticed and fixed. For example on page 22-23 there is a whole paragraph copy and repeated in the middle that took me a minute to figure out. As well as misspellings such as missing an "n" in Krishna when it was repeated 2 other times in the same sentence. Otherwise it's a great book for a beginner learning about mantras and I plan on getting the accompanying workbook to go with it to try some of the mantras in written form. Review: Small book. Easy to read. I am not new to mantras but for such a small book it is Spiritual Dynamite. Really. Includes brief quotes from scientific studies supporting the practice as very worthwhile. Buy this one and do yourself a service. All you need to know. No waffle or personal opinions, no do's and don'ts. No religious bias, no ego. Particularly interesting is the info on studies done on the effect of the practice at the cellular and molecular level of the brain and body. Anyone can read it, no advanced prior knowledge required.

For more than 7 decades I have been a voracious reader with interests ranging from the scientific to the esoteric. Even though I was somewhat familiar with Mantras; nevertheless, when I saw this concise 118-page hardcover book (A little bit of Mantras: An introduction to sacred sounds by Lily Cushman) I decided to purchase it. I found this to be an excellent basic volume about the power of mantras. The ten chapters cover a history of sacred sounds, the benefits of Mantras and what science says, physical mantra practice, daily mantra application and other informative chapters. Rating: 5 Stars.

An excellent little book, with clear explanations and useful tips about chanting. Suitable for beginners and experienced practitioners alike. I bought it after reading the other reviews and... those reviews were completely deserved. Loved it.
