Fashioning the Word-Tool: The Instrumental Character of the Word in Yogic Mantra Meditation and Phenomenology2021 •
This paper combines insights into the nature of language from yogic mantra meditation and phenomenology. I argue that phenomenologists can gain insights into the formative experiences that shape linguistic meaning from mantra meditators. Meanwhile, phenomenology can offer an original perspective on debates in mantra research concerning the linguisticality of mantras.

The hybrid workshop “Mantras: Sound, Materiality, and the Body” was held on May 12–14, 2022 at the University of Vienna (Austria)’s Department of South Asian, Tibetan and Buddhist Studies (ISTB). Its aim was to further the growth of Mantra Studies as a field by fostering synergy among scholars working on mantra utilizing different materials, approaches, and frameworks. This report is intended to make the contents and results of the workshop accessible to the wider public by summarizing the individual contributions and addressing avenues for future research on mantras. Its purpose, however, is not limited to providing a snapshot of the workshop, but to serve as a tool for inspiring, developing, and situating new research approaches in Mantra Studies.

Modern notions of scientific inquiry have limits when they seek to explain what mantras are and how they are used. Scientific inquiry systems emphasize rigorous, rational, deductive and inductive logic. By contrast, in the inquiry systems used by mantra exponents like Eknath Easwaran and Aurobindo Ghose, mantras can be truly understood only after their repetitive practice has brought about a profound change in consciousness. For these mantra exponents, their inquiry system is the actual experiential practice of spiritual disciplines as described through the centuries and refined for the present. Although these two inquiry systems and their respective guarantors of validity appear incommensurable, Charles S. Peirce’s theories regarding signs, scientific logic and religion indicate academia ought to recognize the legitimacy of the mantra exponents’ approach.
