Part of the Part of the UNSONG re-narration project, UNCHANT

Generates mantras in Sanskrit, allowing you to discover secret mantras.

Those are not just words taken in random order: by using Markov chains we extract regular patterns from existing set of mantras. You can generate mantras to a specified deity (Shiva, Kali, etc) or combine them to reach the desired effect.

It's basically just a wrapper over markovify with predefined text corpora and optional Devanagari romanization.

Python 3.x

Install dependencies:

• pip install indic-transliteration
• pip install markovify

Run:

python generate.py

This will generate and print a secret mantra with default parameters. To see all possible arguments, run python generate.py --help

If mantra generation is not possible with these arguments, the program will tell you about that.

Source corpora is kept in the corpus directory in deity.txt files. Each mantra must be written in Devanagari Sanskrit and be each on a separate line. So you can add new mantras to existing deity files as well as add new files.

Please contact me directly at [email protected] to add new mantras and deities to the project.
