Is mantra considered similar to raja yoga, since they work to silence the mind ?

I've practiced it before and I felt the effect within the first few tries of using it. I am sure that if I continued to practice with it I would develop the skill even further. I don't practice it regularly though. Maybe I should haha.
the best way to find out what mantra feels like is to practice it. Takes like 5 minutes to learn it through watching a youtube video. Very wise way to spend 5 minutes. Practice for me was so smooth and fun and easy and rewarding that I first did it for 45 minutes when I only intended for 15. I also felt very relaxed afterwards, like after a very good meditation session but even better. Maybe because mantra is easier to practice in my opinion, meditation is harder for me personally but I like it more.
