Jesus, Mantra of God: An Exploration of Mantra Meditation

Jesus, the mantra of God explores the practice of the mantra in prayer. It comes out of the style of meditative prayer initiated by John Main and continued by his disciple Dom Laurence Freeman OSB and the World Community for Christian Meditation. At the heart of this prayer is the Indian concept of the mantra - focus upon a word or phrase of spiritual significance. The mantra, says John Dupuche, ‘is like a key to unlock the storeroom from which the disciple of the kingdom brings forth things both new and old.’ (Matthew 13:52).
