Mantras
Mantra is a holy syllable we chant or we pray with. With use of mantras we can come nearer the Gods we worship.
Mantra is practiced by vocalizing a mystical syllable or verse, most frequently in Sanskrit, but this is not a rule. For example, there are mantras like:
Aum Bhur Bhuva Svaha
(Aum) Tat Savitur Varenyam
Bhargo Devasya Dhi-mahi
Dhiyo Yo Nah Prachodayat, (Aum) 
OR
(To challenge a direction from ignorance to truth)
Asato ma- sad gamaya
Tamaso ma- jyotir gamaya
Mr.tyorma- amr.tam gamaya
Aum œa-nti œa-nti œa-ntih.
Aum sahanaavavatu
Sahanau bhunaktu
Saha viiryan karavaavahai
Tejasvi naavadhiitamastu
Maa vidvishhaavahai
On the picture above are mantras written in Sanskrit. This language still lives, but it is used only in religious prayers (like Latin in Christian Church); people normally do not use it for ordinary communication.
