About

Welcome to Ratna Mantra, a space dedicated to the discovery of Hindu mantras and spirituality inspired by Hindu culture.

My name is Elisa, and I was born in Réunion, an island where traditions and beliefs blend harmoniously. Here, spirituality is expressed in various forms, and it is not uncommon for people to embrace multiple religions at once. This unique environment allowed me to be open to different spiritual paths and explore various practices.

My encounter with Hindu mantras happened by chance when I was 17 years old, during a forest hike near a volcano. That day, my group and I were singing Christian hymns dedicated to the Virgin Mary when we came across another group of Creole Hindus accompanied by musicians from India. Moved by our songs, they wanted to share their own tradition with us by offering an impromptu concert of mantras dedicated to the Divine Mother. It was a revelation for me. These vibrant sounds, filled with deep energy, awakened a new sensitivity within me.

Years later, when I went through a difficult period and felt at my lowest, these same mantras brought me comfort and strength. In particular, the mantra ‘Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya’, which I listened to daily, along with reading the Bhagavad Gita and the book The Law of Success by Paramahansa Yogananda, helped me overcome this hardship and transform the negative into positive.

This profound and transformative experience inspired me to create Ratna Mantra and my YouTube channel, to share with you the power of mantras and the spiritual teachings that have helped me so much. Here, you will find reading recommendations, explanations about mantras and Hindu philosophy, as well as resources to integrate these practices into your daily life.

I hope this site helps you discover and experience, in your own way, the richness of this ancient tradition.

Om Shanti and Happy Discovery!
