'sacred word' is the definition.

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for mantra that I've seen before include "oft repeated stock phrase?" , "Word aiding meditation (Buddhism)" , "Aid to concentration (Buddhism,Hinduism)" , "Oft-repeated slogan or phrase" , "Incantation used as aid to meditation" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent, the Canadiana, The Times and The Mirror.
