While the TM establishment may well take a trivializing attitude towards
mantras, sound manifestly affects people on many levels, as anyone who
experiences music or poetry knows.  Thus, western religions have mantras
like the Rosary (a somewhat extended mantra, but a cycle of sound and
speech nevertheless.)  So I think what a person chanted might make a
considerable difference.  But that person could evolve her or his own
mantra far better than someone else, through meditation and experimentation.
