ABMantra is a guide to Hindu mantras, festivals, vrat and puja vidhi, written for people who want to understand what they’re chanting and why. Most of our spiritual writing comes from Narendra Kumar Chaubey, a Jyotisha Acharya with more than 30 years of practice. We also publish practical articles for Indian readers on food, travel, fashion, education and technology.
The site started in 2022 as a place to explain mantras properly. That means the Sanskrit text, a transliteration you can read aloud, what each word means, and how the practice is actually done at home. It’s still the core of what we do.
What we write about
Mantras, festivals and puja
We cover word-by-word meanings, pronunciation, chanting methods and the scriptural source of each mantra, from the Gayatri and Mahamrityunjaya to lesser-known deity mantras. Our festival guides include vrat katha, puja vidhi and dates worked out from the Hindu calendar, so you know when to observe and why that day was chosen.
Everyday life in India
Recipes for home kitchens, travel guides, gift ideas, fashion, education and technology explainers. These sections are smaller. We add to them when we have a writer who knows the subject well.

How we work
A person researches, writes and checks every article before it’s published. For mantras and rituals we go back to the source, whether that’s a Vedic hymn, a Purana or a classical puja manual, and we tell you which one we used. Traditions often differ, especially on festival dates and Navratri colours. When they do, we explain the difference rather than pick one version and call it the only answer.
Some articles mention benefits of chanting such as calmer breathing or better sleep. We keep traditional teaching and practitioner experience separate from scientific findings, and we cite studies where they exist. Nothing on ABMantra is medical or financial advice. Please talk to a qualified professional for decisions like that.
Some articles in our lifestyle and technology sections come from guest contributors or are published in partnership with a brand. These are labelled at the top of the article, and paid links are marked.
