    A well-written and researched book. I learned a great deal. It is dense, so take your time and allow time to absorb the information.

  2. Chirag Arora –

    A classic in the field. Essential reading for anyone seriously interested in mantra studies, despite its complexity.

    I found it to be enlightening and thought-provoking. Definitely expanded my understanding of mantras and their significance.

    Deeply researched and insightful. Woodroffe’s passion for the subject shines through. A must-read for mantra enthusiasts.

  5. Rishav Kumar –

    Woodroffe provides an intricate look at mantras. It can be overwhelming for beginners, but the depth of knowledge is impressive.

  6. Harsh Raj –

    The book was interesting, but felt a little too focused on the academic side and not enough on the spiritual experience.

  7. Dharm Pal –

    I’d recommend this for someone with a background in hindu philosophy. It’s a complicated read, but worth it for the knowledge.

  8. Aditya Mishra –

    A good resource for understanding the theory behind mantras, but lacks practical application. A bit dry at times.

  9. Sneha Yadav –

    The book offers profound insights, though some sections felt repetitive. Still, I learned a lot about the power of sacred sounds.

  10. Shivani Singh –

    The book is a little heady and not an easy to breeze through. But it’s worth reading for those with interest in mantra shastra.

  11. Pratyush Prabhakar –

    While informative, the language is a barrier. Needs more modern interpretation to be truly accessible for a wider audience.

  12. Rashi Srivastava –

    Fascinating exploration of MantraShastra. Some concepts were difficult to grasp, but overall, a worthwhile introduction to the subject.

  13. Nitish Negi –

    A valuable addition to my library. It provides a comprehensive overview of mantra traditions. Recommended for serious students.

  14. Shubh Maheshwari –

    A dense but rewarding read. Woodroffe’s scholarship is undeniable, though some parts felt a bit too academic for my taste. Still, a valuable resource.

  15. Priyanshu Jatolia –

    Great scholarly work. It is helpful to have background knowledge of Hinduism and Sanskrit to understand well.

  16. Fathima Neslin –

    Detailed and informative, but be prepared for a challenging read. Not for the faint of heart, but worth the effort.

  17. Prayag Sharma –

    It’s a good start in the subject of mantras, but it is not comprehensive. Other books are required to become proficient.

  18. Hemant Kumar –

    This book is a gem! So much knowledge packed into one volume. You might need to reread some sections to fully grasp, but it’s worth it.

  19. Prajwal Deep –

    I appreciated the historical context provided. However, the writing style is quite dated, making it a slower read.
