Mantra: A lively conglomerate of words sounds

शब्दो नित्यः आकाश गुणत्वात्

Which means a word is immortal due to element of 'Akash'. No word ever distorts, ends erased, hence it is immortal. The inventor of radio active waves and wireless. Marconi must have taken cue from ascetic Gemini's opinion verbatim due to which we can hear the words spoken thousands of miles away, in the same tone, without being changed or distorted. Not only this, we can even listen to the spoken words even after many years. All this implies that a word neither changes, nor distorts, hence it is immortal. Every second descends to us through other rays of the sky.

Scholars of Nyaya Shastra 'maintain that a word is a proven fact but which type of word they refer to? It is not the words that we speak out of fun, curiosity, conveyance, in hillarious moments or the words we use in our daily routine. It is not a lingua Franca. The word here referred. pertains to the words used in the Vedas (आप्त वाक्य शब्दः ); that is the words uttered by Vedic 'Rishis are taken as a testimony. The question naturally arises what is the. 'Apat Vakaya? In short we can say that an 'apat Vakaya' is that which emerges out of our inquisitiveness, ability and contact. Such words are sub- divided into two parts, viz., worldly and Vedic, Vedic utterance is regarded as if it has emanated from God's mouth that is - वैदिकमीश्वरोक्तावात् सर्वमेव प्रमाणम्

hence mantras, in themselves are a testimony they do not change and distort and also remain in the uttered form. There is largely any need to justify its proof in any other way or method:

What is a Mantra and what is its form?

According to Sanskrit-Hindi dictionary, a word is that which is spoken or mentioned in the Vedas or reacted for seeking favours or prayers, but the stanzas of 'Shrimad Bhagwat Geeta' cannot be termed as Mantras. The words which are addressed to any deity, in a prayerful way. is a Mantra, like 'OM NAMAH SHIVAYE'. But in due course of time, even the mantras addressed to some gods, were also included in the list and category of mantras, such as the tantrik mantras. The words so often used by Shakta and Tantrik disciplines. were also known as mantras and it is believed that, by these mantras, many aspirants achieved subtle and immense prowess and capability by using such abbreviated root mantras. Vedic mantras have been considered as if uttered by Bramha. Acharya Aapastamba maintains.
