Good to hear from you. My family is holding together (thank you) in

spite of the fact that my eldest son (Andrew) had a stroke last

week....left side of brain (area that controls speech). He's doing

amazingly well and is expecting to go home from hospital today.

 

Best Wishes,

Mrs. Wendy

Difference between mantra and stotra

 

 

Dear Group,

 

Also typically mantras are short where as stotras are long.Also

Stotras are for the stuti ( praise) of the planet/god in

consideration. Where as mantras are to invoke ( hope I have used the

right word)

 

The mantra needs to be repeated typically for 108 times where as

stotras once /thrice or at the most 11 times

 

Stotras have a author typically say for example Ganpati stotra has

been( if I may use the word)written by Narada where as mantras have

their origin in the vedas.

 

Also mantras can be used while meditating.

 

Best Regards

 

Nilesh
