The actual base of the mantra according to Upanishads was the 'Parma Akesh' or ancient, the eternal and underlying substratum of the universe. When mantras are chanted it usually influences the left

hemisphere of the brain and the intonation and the melody of the mantras results in enhancing the positive vibrations and thereby removing the negative vibrations from the person.
