How Important are holy chants in Life?

The importance of holy chants in life cannot be ruled out since they are believed to be the source of calmness in Hinduism. If we listen to holy chants, it does bring peace and tranquility in our life.

If we are to talk about the origin of holy chants or some of the best holy chants, it can be safely said that the origin lies in Hindu scriptures of Puranas, Upanishads and Vedas.

These are often recited in temples for appeasing Gods and Goddesses. These are also known to possess magical powers and can heal the emotional turmoil through which any person might be passing through.


Holy chants always have a unique style and tone of recitation and this makes it all the more special. Mantras and holy chants like Gayatri Mantra are always considered auspicious and are recited with utmost devotion in temples and home.

Different festivals also have specific holy chants which are recited with interest and devotion, whenever the festival comes. One important thing about holy chants is that in today’s modern era, it is not only the Brahmins who recite holy chants. People from other communities also recite holy chants and seek the benefits and power from these holy chants and scriptures.

With time, people across the age groups are getting used to chanting these and connecting to God.

Immensely Important

Chanting brings us many medical, psychological and spiritual benefits. Chanting is a good habit as it delivers us from the excessive preoccupation with our bodies and with material concerns.

Not much

It depends up on your belief towards the superstitions, I do not believe in superstitions therefore I don't think that chants are important in our life.
