All "Spiritual power" videos

Sanskrit calligraphy is a direct way of invoking energies and realities. Words are powerful. Uttering them is one way of invoking these realities.

Mantras (sanskrit formulas) have been used as invocations for thousands of years. These mantras are sung in the form of bhajans and khirtans (two forms of singing). They are used as well for meditation.

Writing calligraphies works in the same way. For instance when you write the word:

Shantih

Peace

this is the quality you invoke in and around you.

Other forms of calligraphies like Arabic or Chinese use the same principle. It is an invocation of a certain form, concept, idea or energy.

If you write the calligraphy "Shantih" regularly, you will simply attract peace into your life.

The "technical" details of how to write it, what pen or ink to use, etc. are only secondary to the act of simply doing it.
