Om Mani Padme Hum is a powerful Tibetan Buddhism mantra for miracles. It means “Praise to the Jewel in the Lotus” or "I in the jewel-lotus".
This mantra is also known as the 'Six-syllabled Sanskrit Mantra'. It is used for meditation, healing, and spiritual development.
Om: Composed of three letters. A, U, and M; These symbolize the practitioner’s impure body, speech, and mind; they also symbolize the pure exalted body, speech, and mind of a Buddha.
Mani: Spiritual jewel; symbolizes the altruistic intention to become enlightened, compassion, and love.
Padme: Lotus. The two syllables symbolize wisdom. Just as a lotus grows forth from mud but is not sullied by the faults of mud, with method and wisdom one realizes the emptiness of duality — the difference of entity between subject and object.
Hum: Purity must be achieved by an indivisible unity of method and wisdom, symbolized by the final syllable hum, which indicates indivisibility. According to the sutra system, this indivisibility of method and wisdom refers to wisdom affected by method and method affected by wisdom.

Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra

Maha: Great; Mrityun: Death; Jaya: Victory (over death)

ॐ त्र्यम्बकं यजामहे
सुगन्धिं पुष्टिवर्धनम् ।
उर्वारुकमिव बन्धनान्
मृत्योर्मुक्षीय मामृतात् ॥

Om Try-Ambakam Yajaamahe
Sugandhim Pusstti-Vardhanam |
Urvaarukam-Iva Bandhanaan
Mrtyor-Mukssiiya Maa-[A]mrtaat ||

1: Om, We Worship the Tryambaka (the Three-Eyed One),
2: Who is Fragrant (as the Spiritual Essence), Increasing the Nourishment (of our Spiritual Core);
3: From these many Bondages (of Saṃsāra) similar to Cucumbers (tied to their Creepers),
4: May I be Liberated from Death (Attachment to Perishable Things), So that I am not separated from the perception of Immortality (Immortal Essence pervading everywhere).

The Rudra Mantra or Mahamrityunjaya Mantra (Sanskrit: महामृत्युंजय मंत्र or महामृत्युञ्जय मन्त्र, mahāmṛtyuṃjaya mantra or mahāmṛtyuñjaya mantra, lit. "Great Death-conquering Mantra"), also known as the Tryambakam Mantra, is a verse (sūkta) of the Rigveda (RV 7.59.12).
The sūkta is addressed to Tryambaka, "The Three-eyed One", an epithet of Rudra. It is identified with Shiva in Shaivism sect. [source]

According to many, chanting the mantra releases a string of vibrations that realigns the physical body ensuring good health. It bestows longevity, wards off calamities and prevents untimely death. It also removes fears and heals holistically.

It is prescribed to chant the Mahamrityunjaya Mantra 108 times. 108 has long been considered a sacred number in Hinduism and yoga.
The numbers ‘1’, ‘0’ and ‘8’ separately signify ‘oneness’, 'nothingness' and 'everything', respectively.

Renowned mathematicians of Vedic culture viewed 108 as a number of the wholeness of existence. This number also connects the Sun, Moon, and Earth: The average distance of the Sun and the Moon to Earth is 108 times their respective diameters.

A Mala is used for counting as you repeat a mantra, much like the Catholic rosary. Traditionally, Mala or Rudraksha rosary, garlands of prayer beads, come as a string of 108 beads (plus one for the "guru bead," around which the other 108 beads turn like the planets around the sun).

Svaha: This is an indeclinable particle, often used at the end of mantras and prayers, similar to "amen".

Om Mantra (Long version)

The "Om" mantra, often chanted in yoga and meditation, is a sacred syllable with deep spiritual significance, representing the foundational sound of the universe and the essence of all that exists. It's considered a potent tool for connecting with the divine and promoting inner peace

Om is believed to be the "primordial seed" or sound from which the universe emerged. It encapsulates the essence of the Vedas, ancient Hindu scriptures, and is considered the root mantra for all others. Some interpretations view it as representing the sound of creation itself.

AUM mantra in 528 Hz

"A" represents the waking state, the world of perception and activity.
"U" represents the dream state, the realm of imagination and mental imagery.
"M" represents deep sleep, a state of unconsciousness.

Some interpretations also link the three sounds to the three deities of creation, preservation, and destruction (Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva)

The mantra is often seen as a way to connect with the divine and the universal consciousness.
It symbolizes the unity of the individual soul (Atman) with the universal soul (Brahman). Chanting Om is believed to foster a sense of interconnectedness with all beings.

Hare Rama Hare Rama
Rama Rama Hare Hare
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna
Krishna Krishna Hare Hare

The Hare Krishna mantra, also referred to reverentially as the Mahā-mantra (lit. 'Great Mantra'), is a 16-word Vaishnava mantra mentioned in the Kali-Saṇṭāraṇa Upaniṣad.
In the 15th century, it rose to importance in the Bhakti movement following the teachings of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. This mantra is composed of three Sanskrit names – "Krishna", "Rama", and "Hare"

This mantra has multiple interpretations. "Hare" can be interpreted as the vocative form of Hari, another name of Vishnu meaning "he who removes illusion".
Krishna consciousness is not an artificial imposition on the mind; this consciousness is the original energy of the living entity. When we hear the transcendental vibration, this consciousness is revived.
This chanting of 'Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare / Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare' is directly enacted from the spiritual platform, and thus this sound vibration surpasses all lower strata of consciousness – namely sensual, mental, and intellectual. As such anyone can take part in the chanting without any previous qualification.

A stotram (or stothram) स्तोत्र translates to "ode, eulogy, or hymn of praise".

1.1: (Salutations to Devi Saraswati) Who is Pure White like Jasmine, with the Coolness of Moon, Brightness of Snow and Shine like the Garland of Pearls; and Who is Covered with Pure White Garments,
1.2: Whose Hands are Adorned with Veena (a stringed musical instrument) and the Boon-Giving Staff; And Who is Seated on Pure White Lotus,
1.3: Who is Always Adored by Lord Brahma, Lord Acyuta (Lord Vishnu), Lord Shankara and Other Devas,
1.4: O Goddess Saraswati, Please Protect me and Remove my Ignorance completely.

Soundarya Lahari, meaning 'Waves of Beauty' is a 100-verse hymn composed by Adi Shankaracharya in praise of the divine feminine, or Shakti. It is one of the most important texts in the Shri Vidya tradition of Tantric Hinduism.

The hymn is divided into two parts: the first 41 verses deal with the nirguna Brahman, or the formless Absolute, and the last 59 verses deal with the saguna Brahman, or the personal God.

The hymn is written in a beautiful and poetic style, and it is full of symbolism and allegory. It is a profound and challenging work, but it is also a source of great spiritual inspiration.

This Yantra embodies the energy and essence of Goddess Saraswati, invoking her blessings and enlightening energy. Some practitioners use it as a tool for visualization meditation, focusing on the different layers of the Yantra to connect with the divine energy. It is believed to increase the ability to gain knowledge, improve learning skills, and achieve success in academics. It can aid in spiritual development and lead to a higher level of consciousness.

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

-Exerpt from the St. Michael Chaplet

Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil;
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
And do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan and all evil spirits who wander through the world for the ruin of souls.
Amen.

The St. Michael Prayer is one of the most well-known intercessory prayers in the Christian world. Pope Leo XIII wrote the prayer after having a vision while celebrating Mass. The prayer asks St. Michael to intercede on our behalf and always protect us in battle.

St. Michael, also known as Archangel Michael, is a revered figure in Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. He is considered the leader of the heavenly host and is often depicted as a powerful warrior, battling evil and upholding divine justice.
