Tattoo with mantra - full description and meaning for girls, popular sketches, interesting photos

Since ancient times, people have put various drawings on their bodies, believing in their protective and magical properties. Even today, many people prefer tattoos with meaning, not just beautifully performed.

Whereas in the past people believed that they protected against bad demons, against death in battle, and brought wealth and good luck. Today, tattoos still have a secret meaning. Some of the most popular drawings with mystical meanings are mantras. Let's take a closer look at the main ones.

Where did the word mantra come from and what does it mean?

It originated with the Hindus. According to them, the entire universe vibrates at every moment. Man can only benefit from it if he knows its language. It is in the mantras that these mysterious sounds are made.

They are understood as a set of specific symbols with which one can get what one wants or achieve enlightenment. It is believed that mantras are often performed by followers of Buddhism. In a visual comparison, many of them appear to be the same.

But if you look closely, the smallest details, such as a dot or a curved line, distinguish them. If you make even one mistake in spelling or pronunciation, the meaning will change drastically. This is very important, as it completely depends on the fate of the person.

Approach the choice of the sketch and, above all, the master with the utmost care. Do not forget to clarify in advance the exact spelling and meaning of the future tattoo.

The meaning of the most popular mantras

Mantras often carry the following meaning:

  • protect against evil spirits;
  • bring good fortune;
  • promote wealth;
  • help restore health.

As you can see, in terms of their functions, they have almost the same meanings as in ancient times.

They can be applied one by one or in all combinations. It is important to understand that the tattoo cannot be so easily erased, and it will be on the skin for life. It is necessary to be very careful with the selection of symbols that have a powerful energy. Now let's consider the most popular variants of the mystical drawing.

Om

The basis of most mantras is "OM." It is used at the beginning of many Buddhist prayers. And literally translated from Sanskrit, it means "divine incantation." Its graphic representation uses several curved lines, a semicircle, and a dot. Surprisingly, each of the elements is interpreted differently:

The curved lines symbolize the human condition. For example, the lower one means wakefulness, the middle one means an intermediate state between wakefulness and sleep, and the upper one means rest.

The semicircle means reality. It is located between the curves and the point. And the dot is interpreted as complete tranquility.In general, the meaning of this mantra is that people are often captive to dreams, which are often not a reflection of the real world. And only a select few are able to reach enlightenment and understand the real situation.

Om Mani Padme Hum

It is worth talking about separately, as it is the most common. If you search the Internet for tattoos with mantras, it falls out the most photos. And the followers of Buddhism begin many meditative practices with it in order to receive a blessing from the main deity Chenrezig.

Each syllable has its own transcription:

  • Om - taming of pride and pettiness, generosity;
  • Ma - deliverance from feelings of jealousy, renunciation of amusement, ethics;
  • Ni - deliverance from base desires and passion, patience;
  • Pad - overcoming ignorance, labor;
  • Me - purification from poverty, renunciation;
  • Hum - deliverance from anger, anger and aggression, wisdom.

Depending on what exactly a person needs, any syllables in the inscription can be made larger than the rest to enhance their power.
