Chittasthirikaran stotra is a popular and already proved verse. Chitta is manas i.e. mind. Sthirikarana is ‘to stabilize’. Strotra means a ‘holy verse for chanting’. This stotra was selected to observe its efficiency for establishment of mental peace. Vedic Mantra recitation is a task and is difficult to chant. Proper chanting needs a proper guide, that is difficult to be obtained every time. Relatively Laukik Sanskrit Mantra is easier and Guru is available. Status of mind is assessed for various psychological conditions (manovega) like depression, anxiety, anger, etc.; before and after chanting of Chittasthirikaran stotra. The difference between the two readings is accepted as effect of chanting Chittasthirikaran stotra. Data is submitted to the statistician and the result is obtained.
