word of the day: chakra

The word of the day is chakra:

any of several points of physical or spiritual energy in the human body according to yoga philosophy (merriam-webster.com)


"In the minutes before Junoon's set, Raubeson was in the passenger seat of the S.U.V., softly chanting the sounds of the chakras with Ahmad."

 - Ian Parker, "The Band Played On", 28 July 2014 The New Yorker


Is it possible he meant "mantra"?
