MANTRA: The names of God; sacred words or divine sounds invested with the power to protect, purify, and transform the individual who repeats them. A mantra received from an enlightened Master is filled with the power of the Master's attainment.
ALSO - MANTRA: A syllable or phrase that is repeated over and over again and which has spiritual significance and tremendous power.
There are literally hundreds of mantras. But the greatest significance of a mantra is that you receive it from a Sadguru -is the term given to a guru who has attained the very highest state of enlightenment - who has completely consummated his spiritual journey and attained the very highest attainment that a human being can attain. Such a Guru will ONLY give you a mantra that he himself used on his path to enlightenment. Such a mantra will be fully imbibed with all the spiritual power of the Sadguru and thus will be all powerful. A recipient of it can consider himself supremely fortunate because if he faithfully repeats it according to the Sadguru's instructions he cannot fail to attain the Sadguru's state. Some so-called gurus hand out many mantras that the guru himself has not employed and so will be found not to be effective. It's very important therefore to seek a true Sadguru. If one's heart is pure and one is a true seeker he will draw the true guru to him. I recommend that you read some of the many books of Swami Muktananda,, a wonderful Sadguru, and Siddha Yoga teacher. You can find the titles on line and purchase them on-line
There are many sites to consult for meaning of mantra. Just enter Mantra on Google search - you will find numerous sites to consult

in case you study the characteristics that are championed with information from Christianity (servitude, weak point, submission, abstinence), you'll discover they are all deplorable & self debasing. briefly - Christianity is anti-human. each and everything which makes us human is appeared on as EVIL. As Christians, you're to be spiritually beaten into submission & made to sense dependant on its "salvation". obviously noone ever totally complies with its demands - conserving them in bondage & continuously in debt to an offended & vengeful God who terrorizes you till lack of existence. If this isn't adequate to screw someone up - i do not understand what's.
