A mantra is a phrase you can repeat to yourself in order to calm or encourage or motivate... It can be used in a religious or spiritual context, as it often is in Hinduism and Buddhism when used in prayer and meditation. A central mantra of Tibetan Buddhism is 'Om Mani Padme Hum' which is Sanskrit for, 'Om, jewel of the lotus, hum'. Many religions have their own forms of mantra as well.

It can also refer to a phrase or slogan repeated often, like, 'Make learning fun.'

What is the Pranava?

The Pranava is the name given to the sacred Mantra given by initiation only. Those that give the Sacred Word do so out of their own ignorance and have broken one of the most ancient yogic injunctions regarding Mantra. One cannot give another a Mantra unless that Mantra lives within them. When the inner power of the Mantra is realized and made to manifest within the practitioner, he or she is then qualified to give Mantra initiation. The Pranava is the Mantric sound issued by the Sun as it radiates its energies throughout the Solar System and beyond. These Universal Energies were refered to as Prana by the ancients and hence the term Pranava.
