In Sanskrit magic and mysticism, not only are complete words and phrases and even sentences used as mantrams, but also certain single letters and syllables are used. Such a mantram is called a seed, and it can be used either in written form on paper or in pronunciation as a sound. The letters also stand as symbols representing certain angelic or other higher beings who are invoked.
