He was conceived to help destroy a powerful demon, Mahishi. She was the sister of the demon king Mahishasur, who had been slain by Goddess Durga. Mahishi swore revenge, with a boon from Lord Brahma saying she could only be killed by the child of Vishnu and Shiva.

Ayyappa was sent to Earth and adopted by king Rajashekhara. When found, he had a gold bell around his neck, leading to the name Manikandan, or “gold neck”. During his time on Earth, he performed miracles on the sick, foiled a royal conspiracy by acquiring tiger milk (a task intended to either kill or humiliate him), and ultimately defeated Mahishi.

Ayyappa is depicted as a handsome god with a golden bell around his neck. He can often be found in one of three variations:

With a bow and arrow in the left hand, and a bow or sword in his right held across his thigh.
In a yogic position.
Riding a tiger.

Ayyappa is also known as Ayyappan and Manikandan. He is particularly worshipped in the south of India and is known across several regions and traditions in the area.

What is Navagraha Mantra?

Navagraha mantras are auspicious hymns or Mantras that act as powerful healing tools that stabilize the adverse effects of the planets in our lives. These play a vital role in determining the physical and mental condition of a person.

The word ‘Navagraha’ is a Sanskrit word where ‘Nav’ means nine and ‘Graha’ means to seize or grasp. In Vedic astrology, The nine planets in our Solar System are called grahas as they are the evolutionary forces that teach us how to harmonize with the universe. So,’ Navagraha’ or ‘Navgrah’ means the nine planets. The position of the planets and their movements influence our life and affect our personal, emotional, financial and physical aspects.

But sometimes the planets are malefic or inauspicious in the birth chart or kundali, and they negatively affect your life. In such situations, you may have to face troubles in your life regarding many issues. These situations can be handled by chanting these specialized mantras that cool down the planets and minimize their harmful effects.

The Hindu panchanga or religious calendar lists the auspicious and inauspicious time for daily use and festivals. These timings depend on the movement of the planets and their position in their orbits.

If you chant these mantras regularly, then the planets will have a positive influence over all aspects of your life. Any health issues, financial crunch or disputes are the results of their movements which may not be favorable. With the help of these, You will have more peace of mind and achieve spiritual tranquility.

The Navagraha mantras for each planet are recited on specific days, and the planets match the human characteristics. They help to remove grievances from the planets and gain their blessings.

How To Chant These Mantras?

Navagraha mantras have holistic power that brings peace to the planets. The movements of the nine planets influence your daily life. There are times when people face bad luck, failure, illness, and many other unfortunate incidents.

The movement of these celestial bodies mostly influences these occurrences. Each planet has its particular mantra that controls it. They also have different requirements and procedures.

There are a few things that you need to keep in mind before chanting these mantras.

Timing of the Navagraha mantra: It is imperative that the mantra for the respective planet are recited during the transit of the planets. You need to recite these mantras only when these planets have a negative influence on your life. Start chanting the mantras on the day that specific planet represents.
Mat and Clothes: These mantras are holy, so you need to chant them with a clean body and mind. Before you start recitation, take a bath and wear clothes that represent the color of the planet. You also need to use an aasan (mat) that has the color of the planet. Such as white for sun, blue for Saturn, etc. There is a particular code of discipline and cleanliness that you should not ignore.
Direction and time: You have to use specific instructions and time for the planet. Try to complete the recitation within 40 days. The place and time that you chant the prescribed mantra should be consistent and the same throughout the period.
Rosary and Sankalp: Each planet has its specified rosary bead that you should use. You can use Rudrakash Chaplet or Particular gemstones of the planet such as pear rosary for the moon, coral for mars or Ruby for Sun.
Pronunciation and Rhythm: These mantras will not show proper effect or not work at all if they are not pronounced correctly. One wrong pronunciation can make the entire meaning of the mantra disastrous. Even the rhythm should be the same, and you cannot make any mistake in the flow of a syllable. These mantras are like voice passwords so their flow and pronunciation should be exact.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some Frequently Asked Questions that devotees may have towards these mantras.

Q: People also use gemstones to correct their doshas from grahas. So, why use Navagraha Mantras? And which is better?
A: Yes, gemstones are also used to correct doshas from our grahas. They are easy to use and convenient. Whereas, these mantras have a particular code of discipline and conduct which needs to be followed precisely.

Their timing, pronunciation, rhythm, consistency, and dedication matters a lot. Navagraha Mantras have a very positive effect on our lives, and they give good results. Whereas, the use of gemstones has certain limitations towards their effect on us.

So, if you have the time and sincerity to do the mantra Jaap, then it is always better.

Q: Why is the Earth not apart of the navagrahas?
A: The Navagraha are the forces that influence the Earth. She is a deity in herself with her own identity and distinguished from the others.

A: It is excellent practice to meditate by listening to the Navagraha Mantras on CD as you can also chant along. You can recite the mantras internally as you hear play.

Q: What are the effects of Rahu and Ketu in Vedic Astrology?

A: Rahu and Ketu are karmic planets, and it is challenging to escape the cosmic effect given out by them. The negative aspects of Rahu and Ketu affect us more mentally rather than physically.

Rahu manifests itself as greed, jealousy, anger, sarcasm, OCD, and hatred. And Ketu exhibits laziness, a lack of interest, poor reasoning, irresponsibility and a sense of abandonment.

But they may also cause positive effects in our lives if they are positioned correctly. These periods of troubles provided by Raahu and Ketu also lead us towards better self-realization. IF we understand ourselves a tiny bit better, these planets will reward us with positive influences.

Q: Are Rahu and Ketu real planets?
A: They are not physical planets but imaginary points in the sky. They are called the North and South Nodes of the moon. They are the biggest enemy of the Sun and Moon.
That is why they cause eclipses from time to time.

They are malefic, retrograde and always stay 180 degrees away from each other. They are karmic indicators of the Soul in the birth chart.

So, you need to be very careful. You can get in touch with an experienced astrologer and take their help in understanding the proper tone and diction.

Q: From where did we get these mantras?
A: The Navagraha Mantras came from the Purohit Darpan which is a traditional Brahmanical Sanskrit text.

A: These mantras help to ward off the negative impacts of the nine celestial bodies.

They can never be a replacement for hard work and perseverance. Navagraha Mantra benefits us in personal development but solely depending on them without putting your effort will be just like wasting your time and energy.

If you aim for success, then find out the doshas with your planets, chant the prescribed Mantras and put in your effort and hard work to achieve it.

They help you to achieve blessings from all these planets which leads to a prosperous life.

Final Thoughts

This universe has influenced and impacted us in a way much more significant way than we ever realized. The nine planets are also a part of this. These cosmic gods have a vast history behind them.

Earth and its residents are also affected by them positively and negatively both.

Navagraha Mantras are a vital part of Vedic astrology. They are like leashes that can help you to keep the grahas in check. They have numerous benefits that make our life smooth and favorable.

They can never control the movements of a planet; instead, its negative effect and amplify its positive impact. These mantras are just a medium to channel that energy and use it for your benefit. These are never to be used as a shortcut for success.

You can reap the Navagraha Mantra benefits only if you chant these with a clear mind. With the help of an astrologer, prepare your kundali or birth chart and find out what are the malefic planets in your chart. You should also know how many times the mantras need to be chanted, pronunciation, timing, etc.

But you need to give special emphasis on the pronunciation of the Mantras.

For example, the correct way to pronounce Soorya in Soorya Mantra is ‘Sooryaay’ and not ‘Sooryaya.’ These stands the same for other mantras such as Chandraay, Shukrayaay, etc. These may look very mild, but the implications may be severe.

If you can I suggest that you visit a temple and ask for some help if you need it.

What is Budh Mantra?

Budh Mantra is a powerful mantra associated with Budha Graha, the planet Mercury. It is one the most influential means to receive the bountiful blessings of Budha Graha.

Our Hindu astrology consists of nine planets which are collectively known as Navgraha. Out of the nine planets, Budh is one of them and represents the planet Mercury. The term synonymously identifies itself with names like Budh, Budha, and Budh Beej Mantra.

The planet Mercury represents various modes of our human faculties like intelligence, speech (including communication skills), logical aptitude, empathy, humor, and senses. Planet Mercury also represents various streams of knowledge, trade, and skills like science, analysis, commerce, research, education, writing, mathematics, cinema, sports, and other arts.

All the above faculties and the streams of knowledge, trade, and skills interplays with one another depending on the position of the planet Mercury in the Horoscope. Mercury also possesses the zodiac signs of Virgo and Gemini.

The zodiac sign Virgo is symbolic of the exaltation of planet Mercury, and the zodiac sign Pisces represents the weakness of planet Mercury.

Therefore, we believe that the proper and improper alignment of Mercury affects our wealth, health, peace of mind, and fortunes in our lives.

So, if the alignment of Mercury is bad, it can give rise to health problems like memory loss, gastritis, skin problems, insomnia, mental problems, speech impediment, nervous breakdown, asthma, deafness, and other issues.

For this purpose, we do the puja to cast away all sorts of evil from our lives and to endow us with good health, prosperity, and happiness.

Besides, the movement of Budha not only affects human beings but also the conditions of the weather and the prevailing circumstances in the nations, which we believe falls under the scope and ambit of the spiritual science which we refer to as Vedic Astrology.

Thus, to eliminate any adverse outcome of irregular alignment of the planets in our horoscope, we recite this mantra.

We can also use it for the following purposes:

To achieve success, fame, and renewal of vigor in commercial pursuits.
For intensive meditation.
To gain more energy and focus to concentrate better.
To remove obstacles and hurdles in our lives.
To help in connecting with our divine source of power.

Who exactly is Lord Budha?

In Indian Puranic mythology of the Hindus, Lord Budha is a deity. In Vedic astrology, he is Mercury who is benign as well as malefic depending on whom it associates with.

Budh is the most intelligent God. He belongs to the Vaishya caste. Wednesday belongs to him, and the gemstone of Budh is Emerald.

Importance of Lord Budha for Hinduism
The importance lies in the astronomical benefits that he endows us with. Wealth, wisdom, and abstinence from evil thoughts flow from him on us, his devotees.

His appearance
The appearance of Budha as having the form of a celestial body finds mention in the text of the Vedas known as Pancavimsa Brahmana.

pancavimsa-brahmana-book — You can buy this rare book here.

Besides, we can also find the planetary description of him in astronomical texts like Lalla’s Sisyadhivrddida, Brahmagupta’s Khandakhadyaka, Varahamihira’s Panca Siddhantika, Latadeva’s Romaka, and Aryabhatta’s Aryabhatiya.

The other appearance of him is the depiction of a deity in various forms. He appears riding a lion with four arms in some illustrations. He also appears riding a lion with wings holding a shield, club, and a curved sword.

He also appears as a deity wearing yellow clothes riding a chariot of fire and air. Wind horses numbering eight pulls the chariot.

His story
In the mythological stories of the Vedas, the Moon gave birth to Budha or Mercury. The myth narrates how the Moon, filled with lusts, proceeds to abduct Tara, who was the wife of Jupiter or Brihaspati.

The abduction of Tara led to conceiving Mercury or Budha thus giving birth to Budha, the intellect.

Other names
There are other known names like Tunga, Rauhineya, and Saumya.

Symbolism
Above everything else, he is a symbol of intelligence. From intelligence flows the other qualities many of which are an outcome of the application of mind involving logic and mental ability.

How to chant Budh Mantra?

We should chant the Budh Mantra “Om Bram brim Broom Sah Budhaey namah” in the early morning hours for 108, 216, 324 or 1008 times for 45 days with Goddess Durga’s idol/image.

The simple meaning of “Om Bram brim Broom Sah Budhaey namah” is “Om, I bow down before Mercury.” However, the real meaning behind worshipping Mercury lies in the following translation:

“Whose body is so revered that it is like darkness, whose image takes the embodiment of intelligence, whose nature and character is magnificent, to Mercury, the hallmark of intelligence, we bow down before you in deep devotion. Om, we bow down before Mercury, the emblem of intellect.”

In order that the puja achieves its desired results, we must follow some fundamental rules and etiquettes –

Before we begin to chant, it is important for us to wash our feet and hands or take a bath to purify ourselves physically.
Since our position is important while chanting, we should make sure we sit in the direction facing the East. Our backs should be straight, and the pronunciation of the mantra should be accurate.
We should also be serious about how devoted we are while chanting. If our heart and mind are not in the right place, the blessings will not reach us.
Therefore, we should entirely devote ourselves to Lord Budha, free from all distractions and impure thoughts, to feel the positive energy and the protection of the Universe.
Along with steadfast devotion, we should recite it for at least forty-five days if we want to receive his blessings.
Wearing white garments with a few pieces of the yellow and greenish color will show our absolute devotion.
Though we can do the puja during noon as well as sunset, the best time to chant the Mantra is in the morning.
Even though we should chant it daily, if we fail to chant the mantra every day, we can chant it every Wednesday as that day belongs to him.
It’s important that we chant this mantra on the beads of a rosary daily for 108, 216, 324 or 1008 times.

There are also different types of Budh Mantras which we should chant. They are –

Budh Gayatri Mantra

“Om Gajadhwajaaya Vidmahae
Sukha Hastaaya Dheemahi
Tanno Budha Prachodayaat.”

Gayatri Mantra comprises of three parts. The first mantra is the chanting of the Mercury, the second part is the proper mantra, and the third part is like a summary of the energy that comes with the mantra.

We can chant the Gayatri mantra when the sun rises, during the noontime, and after the sun sets.

Budh Gayatri Mantra translation in English:
“Om I meditate on the one with the elephant on the flag, Oh the one who has authority to grant happiness, give me intelligence, and allow Budha Dev to enlighten the mind.”

Budh Navgrah Mantra

“Priyam gukalikaashyaamam Rupenaam prathimam Budham
Saumyam Saumya gunorpetham tham Budham pranamaamyaham.”

Budh Navgrah Mantra translation in English:
“I bow down in obeisance before Budha whose darkness and blackness resemble a blackened tulip, you are incomparable in your appearance with extraordinary intellect and wisdom, the son of Soma who has pleasant and propitious qualities.”

We believe that if we pray Navgrah Budh Gayatri for eleven times on every morning and sunset of a Wednesday, we will please Budh Graha.

Therefore, doing the Navgrah Budh Gayatri puja will allow us to get blessings such as reduction of health problems especially the ones related to sugar and blood pressure, improvement in communication skills, fewer skin diseases, and sharper intelligence.

Although we should devote ourselves to chanting it every day, if we cannot do that and we still seek the benevolence of him, we can practice other modes of rituals as well like –

We can do fasting on Wednesdays. We believe that fasting on Wednesdays can bring prosperity and peace to our lives and lead to a reduction of all negativity arising from improper alignment of the planets.
We can also do charities on Wednesdays. Charities can take the form of donating green vegetables, gold, and green color bangles all of which pleases him.
Even wearing clothes with the green color can please Mercury as the color is auspicious before Budha.
Our daily interactions and dealings with females should be respectful.
We can also give presents and other gifts for our siblings to please him.

9 Fantastic Budh Mantra Benefits

Since Budh is the epitome of intelligence and represents various fields like commerce, law, banking, accounts, and trade, chanting Budh Mantra will ensure beneficial gains in these fields.

Unceasingly devoting ourselves to Budha will grant the following Budh Mantra benefits:

Intellect: Proper alignment of the planet Mercury in the cosmic system will give intelligence on us, the chanter.
Our minds will be sharper, and our memory will also improve which allows us to become more creative.
Communication skills: Lord Budha controls communication and language and is an expert in interrogation and storytelling. So, chanting it gives us the power of oratory skills which we can use in our line of works to gain success.
Healthy relationships: By chanting it, our relationships with our family members and friends will also strengthen as Lord Budha’s positive energy will fill us and allow us to be more patient and understanding.
Good health: This is one of the immense benefits that Lod Budh grants us for our devotion and worship. All of us are prone to sickness as we are all human beings. What makes this worse is the wrong alignment of planet Mercury.
As we already know now, the wrong alignment can bring, amongst others, many health-related problems which none of us wants to face. Thankfully, by chanting it with utmost devotion, we can get rid of any ill health effects.

One important thing to note will be that if we are suffering from weak health, then that may be a sign that our Mercury is fragile and we need to be more devout towards Mercury.
Spiritual growth: Chanting it also allows us to grow spiritually as a person and individual. This spiritual growth motivates us to become a better person and be an influence to anyone around us.
All sorts of negativity surround our lives. But the spirituality of Budh Mantra enables us to overcome them, and we are compassionate towards others, even to person we do not know.
Presence of mind and wit: Besides intelligence, it benefit also includes wittiness and significant presence of mind to deal with any situation and circumstances positively and optimistically.
Learning ability: This benefit bears a close association with intelligence. With higher intellect, we are also able to learn and understand things quickly. So whatever field we may be in, learning new things will not be a problem with Budh’s blessings.
Success: Once we are receiving the blessings of hi, everything will translate to success. Be it a job or career or academic pursuits we will face success in all field of science, education, law, commerce, trade, writing, show business, and many others.
Wealth: One of the most important benefits is the wealth that comes with ardent devotion to him.
As many of our hurdles and obstacles get out of our way, success in terms of wealth will start to pour into our lives.

Final Thoughts

Of all the Gods, Budh is the most intelligent. By chanting Budh Mantra regularly with dedication and commitment, we invoke the blessing of intelligence and good health that emanates into our lives and onto others. But, chanting it with a corrupt mind and heart will work against us. Therefore, a pure mind and heart, free from evil inhibitions, will take us closer to the majesty of Lord Budha.

What Is the Ram Mantra?

The Ram Mantra is a mantra dedicated to Lord Rama, one of the many forms of Vishnu. Lord Rama came to Earth to vanquish demons, and his mantra bestows self-esteem, will-power, mental fortitude and the ability to overcome vices to its practitioners.

When Sri Rama came to Earth he established the path of dharma, the path of correct action (more on that below). Chanting the mantra bestows amazing benefits of the body and mind – it promotes proper circulation through the body and clear focus of the mind.

The name of Rama acts as a divine guide on the path towards spiritual enlightenment. Yet Rama is benevolent and merciful, and understands the needs of humans; thus it also takes care of the material needs of the aspirant as well.

To draw this powerful spiritual energy from the mantra, it is important to try to understand it as fully as possible. To whom the mantra is dedicated; the many variations of the mantra; the proper way to chant it for greatest effect; and the many benefits you can hope to achieve through its use.

Let us delve into the Ram Mantra and its wonders, starting from the beginning.

Who Exactly Is Lord Rama

Rama, also known as Ramacandra, is the 7th incarnation of Vishnu, and one of the most powerful next to Krishna. He is considered the ideal man, both physically and mentally, and his marriage to Sita is considered the ideal of marital devotion and love.

lord rama small Ram Mantra article — Lord Rama by Pinterest

Lord Rama is best known for his adventure to slay the demon king Ravana, a multi-headed foe of considerable power. Ravana was the king of Lanka, today known as Sri Lanka, and was so fierce a demon that the gods bid Vishnu to intervene. Vishnu complied, appearing in a divine fire to King Dararatha, prince of the solar race. The king was presented with a pot of nectar, some of which he gave to Kausalya so she could birth the half-divine Rama.

Rama met Sita, the avatar of Lakshmi, in his early travels. The demon king Ravana eventually captured Sita, setting Rama off on an epic quest to save her and destroy Ravana. The story is told in the oldest Sanskrit epic, the Ramayana. His story demonstrates the value and virtue of the following dharma, fulfilling one’s pious path in life.

Lord Rama is an influential and important figure in Hinduism. His representation of the spiritual, physical and mental ideal makes him a popular subject of devotion. Diwali, the festival of lights and one of the most well known Hindu celebrations, is a celebration of his coronation as king over his kingdom after finally destroying the evil Ravana.

How to Chant the Ram Mantra

There are over ten Ram mantras, each with their own way of saying them; their own meanings, their own strengths. It is important to consider each of them, and which is most appropriate for your life.

There is a recommended ceremony and schedule you should adhere to. This is regardless of the specific mantra you choose, so learn the following advice regardless:

Bathe or wash your hands and feet before you begin to chant. You can also bathe your entire body if you wish.
Always sit facing either the North or the East when chanting.
Devote your mind and spirit totally to Lord Rama and feel the connection with the universe.
Wearing white garments with a few pieces of the black or blue color (Rama blue) show our absolute devotion to the Rama.
Recite the mantras for 48 days with devotion. It is suggested to chant daily. If this is not possible, you can chant solely on Monday.
You don’t need any offerings, but if you want to offer something to him, offer payasam, panchamirtham, panagam (jaggery, musk melon, and ginger), methi pulao.
The mantras should be chanted 9, 27, 54, 108, or 1,008 times, three times a day. Count the repetitions on the beads of a rosary when doing so.

A list of Ram Mantras

“Raamaaya Raamabhadraaya Raamachandraaya Vedasey,
Raghunaathaaya Naathaaya Seethaayaah Pathaye Namaha”

This mantra evokes several of the names of Lord Sriram. It praises him as the most auspicious descendent of the Raghu clan. It proclaims him the most venerated person who can end suffering and promote happiness, and the husband of Mother Sita.

“Om Kleem Namo Bhagavathey Raamachandraaya sakalajana vashyakaraaya Swaaha”

This chant is intended to attract success and happiness. It includes the “klim” seed mantra or “bija” mantra. Seed mantras are powerful, single sound mantras whose vibrations are attuned to certain universal energies. The klim mantra is attuned to the law of attraction.
This Ram mantra uses the klim mantra in conjunction with praising Rama as a charismatic god who is able to promote peace and harmony. This combination of klim and Rama is a powerful mantra for attracting prosperity and happiness.

“Shri Rama Jaya Rama Kodhanda Rama”

This mantra combines both Rama and his bow, Kodhanda. Kodhanda was the bow Rama used to destroy the evil forces of Ravana. Evoking the two together symbolizes strength, invincibility, and the ability to overcome obstacles. Chanting this mantra promotes harmony and success while assuaging the practitioner of all fears.

“Sri Rama Jayam”

“Victory to Lord Rama” is the literal translation of this simple but powerful Rama mantra. It instils confidence, peace, and harmony in the chanter. It is suitable for most people, providing benefits for all aspects of life – our relationships, our jobs, our big and small challenges. Its simplicity has made it an incredibly popular chant, and it is particularly preferred for large gatherings.

“Om Dashrathaye Vidmahe Sita Vallabhaye Dhi-Mahi Tan No Ramah Prachodayat”

This is the Ram gayatri mantra. Like other gayatri mantras, it is used to call upon a deity – in this case, Rama – for protection. This particular mantra addresses Rama as the son of Dashrat, and the husband of Mother Sita.
Not only does it provide protection, but it is used to request clarity of thought and clear judgment from Lord Rama. It helps practitioners see the path of dharma in their everyday lives and make clear decisions.

“Heen Ram Heen Ram”

This is another simple mantra which can be used by those who are inexperienced in meditation or do not have a sufficient guide in their spiritual journey. It is a mantra that helps awaken spiritual awareness in the practitioner.
This mantra, like many other Ram mantras, helps align the chanter with the path of dharma or virtuous action. This was one of Rama’s greatest contributions to mankind, and his tale is an epic exploration of the power and rewards of dharma.

“Clin Ram Clin Ram”

This Ram mantra is used to provide protection from negative energies. This may be more esoteric things like black magic, psychic attacks, and invisible entities, or the more mundane – the negative thoughts and feelings of other people, the depressive moods, attitudes and actions which might bring our own energy down.

Through the devoted reciting of this Ram mantra, you will create a barrier between you and negative forces that allows your own peace, harmony, and happiness to prosper.

“Fhat Ram Fhat”

This seeking an inner peace which brings about a positive change in their own behavior will benefit from this mantra. This simple Ram mantra brings harmony to the spirit, helping the chanter to be more sincere and honest as a person. It also brings clarity of thought, word, and action, setting the chanter on the path of dharma.

“Ramay Namah”

Another simple mantra intended to bring focus and clarity to the user. Here it is specifically purity of mind and word. This purity covers things like focus and articulation, but also purity in a moral sense – removing impure thoughts from the mind. It frees the chanter of negative, distracting or destructive thoughts, and helps them achieve a sense of inner peace and spirituality.

“Ya Devi Sarvabhuteshu Vidyarupena Samsthita,
Namastasyai Namastasyai Namastasyai Namo Namah.”

“SaIutations to the God Rama who bestows upon me the fearlessness of life in the form of knowledge and intelligence”. This chant grants the user inner peace and strength in times of great distress. It is an ideal mantra for those going through tough times at work, or in their relationships.

It will help to guide you on the right path to conflict resolution and standing up for yourself.

“Shri Ram Sharnam Mamah”

This mantra brings balance and strength to the body and mind. It promotes both physical and mental healing and can create a surge of bliss through the body.

Miraculous Ram Mantra Benefits

As you read in the previous section, there are many Ram mantras. Each has its own attributes, uses, and benefits. Yet, you may have also noticed there were certain trends and themes amongst them, chiefly the promotion of peace and harmony within the mind, body, and spirit of the practitioner.

So what are the overall benefits of using these Ram mantras? Here are some miraculous Ram mantra benefits for you to consider.

Promote self-esteem. One of the benefits of the enhancing of positive energies brought about by Ram mantras is an increased sense of self-worth. Those who are full of self-doubt or self-loathing will appreciate a remarkable boost in their self-esteem through the use of the Ram mantras.
Improved willpower. We face many temptations in our lives, big and small. Whether it’s the big temptations to cheat, to steal, or to be unkind or the small temptations to eat something we’re not supposed to, go back on a promise, or indulge, our willpower is sorely tested daily. Ram mantras help steel your willpower and better enable you to act righteously and virtuously.
Enhance other mantras. The Ram mantra often contains two words; Sri and Ram.
Sri is ying and Ram is yang – the male and female energies of the universe. Their combination employed with any mantra make its effects more profound.
Overcome fear and doubt. A consistent benefit of many of the Ram mantras listed above is helping the chanter to overcome fears and doubts in their lives. We are constantly plagued with doubts in everyday life. Doubts about job security, about our own capabilities and worth, about the choices we make. We fear making big decisions because we get too scared of the many possibilities, and doubt our instincts. The Ram mantra empowers us to overcome our fears and shed doubt from our minds. We become more assertive, more confident, and achieve more.
Better work performance. Clarity of thought and word are also common benefits of Ram mantras. This clarity and purity help us to better focus on tasks and challenges we’re presented with, particularly in our places of work.
Instead of becoming flustered by problems, we analyze them clearly and approach solutions with steady rationality. We perform better under stress, and so attract the positive attention of employees, customers, or clients we engage with.
Better academic performance. Busy students working late nights often find it hard to focus. The stress associated with assignments can make it difficult to concentrate and recall vital information.
The clarity of thought and mind, combined with the increased confidence and self-esteem – not to mention the lessening doubts and fears – helps students to achieve higher academic results in their studies.
Better physical health. The Ram mantras bestow upon the chanter improved physical wellbeing. The body is less likely to suffer from disease or injury, and if it does, it heals faster than it otherwise would. The Ram mantra promotes better circulation through the body of various systems and functions, promoting health.
Better mental health. Purity and clarity of thought, promotion of harmony and inner peace – all of these benefits lead to an improvement of the mental wellbeing of the practitioner. Chanting Ram mantras frees us of negative mental states like depression, anxiety, and mood disorders.
It saves us from intrusive, unwelcome, or destructive thoughts – both those aimed at the destruction of others, and those aimed at the destruction of self.
Improved behavior. Do you worry you suffer from anger issues? Do you find yourself short-tempered? Easily agitated? Ram mantras help us to overcome these antisocial behaviors. The soothing peace and inner harmony brought about by Ram mantras help us to be better people. We are kinder, more compassionate, more patient, and more loving in our everyday lives.
Attract prosperity. Combining Ram mantras with the klim seed mantra can attract great wealth and prosperity to the practitioner. Rama is not just about the spiritual enlightenment of his followers; he also meets their material needs as well. Klim itself is a powerful agent of the law of attraction, but when combined with the mighty divine power of Rama, it becomes supercharged for unequalled results.
Overcome debt. Attracting wealth and prosperity can specifically help those who feel burdened by financial debts.
The Rama mantra will attract the wealth needed to free the practitioner of their debts, in turn freeing them from stress.
Protection from negative forces and energies. Lord Rama is a powerful god sent to destroy a demonic king; he is one of the ultimate protectors, and chanters of Ram mantras evoke this protection for themselves. We are all so surrounded by negativity these days; on the news, in the workplace, at home. Negativity from other people, negativity from ourselves. So much advertising relies on people feeling poorly about themselves so that something can be sold to them. Ram mantras free us from all of these; while it does not make these things disappear, it protects us from their deleterious effects. We become unmoved by the negative influences of others, living our own harmonious, peaceful lives as we so choose.
Increased harmony. Ram mantras bring us together. When we have inner peace and harmony, it is so much easier to be peaceful and harmonious with those around us. We form better connections with our loved ones, our families, our coworkers, and strangers.
Through Ram mantras we can form not just better, but deeper connections with others; connections that are more empathetic, compassionate and nurturing.

Final Thoughts

Lord Rama is a powerful, beloved god, the 7th avatar of Vishnu sent to destroy a demon king and bring dharma to the world. Today, we chant to Rama with Ram mantras, evoking his strength and virtue. Through these mantras, we seek his protection from evil forces, clarity of mind, inner peace, prosperity, and perhaps above all, harmony – both within ourselves, and the world around us.

What is Parvati Mantra?

Parvati, like most Hindu deities, has other names as aspects such as Durga, Shakti, and Kali. She is in fact an aspect of Maha Shakti, mother of the universe, further connecting her to the forces of creation on a cosmic and personal scale.

Like with any deity or mantra, there are many variations to the Parvati mantra, each with their own benefits. It is common to find Shakti mantras and Parvati mantras mentioned almost interchangeably, as they evoke different aspects of the same figure.

There are many reasons to use the Parvati mantra:

Reconcile difficulties in relationships.
Strengthen bonds in relationships.
Increase fertility.
Help with parenting.
Find inner strength.
Help with self-determination.

Let’s delve deeper, so we have a proper understanding of Parvati, the various mantras devoted to her, their meaning, and their miraculous benefits.

Who Exactly is Goddess Parvati and How Exactly Is She Connected With This Mantra?

As mentioned above, Parvati is one of the many forms of Shakti. Shakti is the feminine energy of the universe, that unknowable but enlivening force present at the birth of all existence.

Parvati Goddess Parvati Mantra article — Goddess Parvati

Shakti manifested as Parvati in order to draw Shiva, the warrior god, out of his meditation. After the loss of his wife, Shiva retreated from the world, preferring to meditate in a cave. In his absence, the world became overrun with demons emboldened by the lack of a divine protector.

The other gods implored Shakti, the pure feminine energy of the universe, to help. Shakti manifested Parvati to seduce Shiva. After several failed courtship attempts, Parvati realized that to truly win Shiva’s heart, she had to relate to him by his interests — strength, perseverance, a force of will.

By mastering her mind and body, she finally drew the attention of Shiva away from his meditation to her — and then the world.

The power of Parvati lies in both her marital devotion to Shiva and also her ability to match him in his austerities and mastery of mind and body. So closely did Parvati and Shiva become linked that it is often said that one cannot truly worship Shiva without worshipping Parvati as well.

Parvati is portrayed in various forms. As Parvati, she is seen with Shiva by her side and Ganesha in her lap. As Durga, she is dressed in red, riding a lion, her many arms full of weapons. Sometimes she is portrayed carrying the trishula trident, just as Shiva is.

How to Chant Parvati Mantra?

There is no one Parvati mantra. Like most deities, mantras devoted to Parvati can be combined with other mantras and other concepts — such as bija or seed mantras — to create many different, powerful mantras.

Regardless of the specific mantra you choose to chant, there is a suggested structure of the puja you should follow. These following steps apply to all Parvati mantras.

Cleanse your hands and feet prior to beginning the chant.
Sit facing North or East when doing the puja.
Devote yourself completely to Goddess Parvati. Feel the positivity, love, and fertile energies of the Universe.
Look at her picture or look up at the sun in the sky and when doing the puja.
Wearing white garments with a few red pieces of clothing shows our absolute devotion to the goddess.
Recite the Parvati mantras at least for 48 days with devotion in order to see the desired results.
Chant daily, if possible — this will give you the best outcome.
Chant the mantras 9, 27, 54, 108, or 1,008 times. Count them out on the beads of a rosary to ensure precision.

So, what are the actual Parvati mantras? Here are some of the most powerful Parvati mantras you can find.

Parvati Swayamvara Mantra

“Om Hreem Yoginim Yogini Yogeswari Yoga Bhayankari Sakala
Sthavara Jangamasya Mukha Hridayam Mama Vasamakarsha Akarshaya.”

Meaning: “O thou who is always in Union with Lord Shiva, give me the power of attraction and fascination, O Noble One!”

This mantra is intended to remove all obstacles to marriage. As we know, there are many obstacles that can stand between lovers and marriage. Financial troubles, problems of argumentative families, or even whether someone is truly ready to commit. The Parvati swayamvara mantra will help overcome all of these challenges to facilitate a successful marriage.

Parvathi Swayamvara Dhyana Sloka

“Balarkayutha Suprabham Karathale Rolambamalakritham
Malaam Sandhadhatheem Manohara Thanum Mandasmithodyanmukheem
Mandam Mandamupeyushim Varayithum Shambhum Jaganmohinim
Vande Deva Munindra Vanditha Padam Ishtarthadham Parvathim.”

This dhyana sloka mantra is used to attract the desired husband as soon as possible. For best results, it should be recited every Friday with utmost devotion. This is perfect for women in committed relationships who wish for their husband to take the next step.

Parvati Sloka

“Sarva Mangala Maangalye, Shive Sarvaartha Saadhike
Sharanye Tryambake Gaurii, Naaraayanii Namostute.”

Meaning: “Goddess Parvati is the auspiciousness of all that is auspicious. She is the consort of Lord Shiva, who grants every desire of one’s heart. I adore such Devi Parvati, who loves all her children. I bow to the great mother, who has given refuge to me.

Whereas the previous mantra is intended to attract a specific mate, this mantra is meant to evoke Parvati in all of her aspects. It enhances relationships by evoking Parvati’s devotion to Shiva — reconciling problems, enhancing and deepening connections. But it also calls upon Parvati as a source of fertility, staving off miscarriage and promoting healthy pregnancy in the practitioner.

Powerful Parvati Mantra

“Maata Cha Paarvati Devi, Pitaa Devo Maheshvara
Baandhavah Shiva Bhaktaacha, Svadesho Bhuvanatrayam.”

Meaning: “Goddess Parvati is the mother and the divine father is Shiva. The devotees are the children. The world is the creation of these divine beings and we live on the land of such celestial beings.”

This mantra again evokes Parvati in all of her aspects. However, where the other mantras were dedicated to her role as mother and wife, this mantra also evokes Parvati as a determined, auspicious being. Chanting this mantra helps the practitioner find inner strength and determination in themselves and their work.

Swayamvara Parvathi Moola Mantra

“Om Hreem Yogini Yogini Yogeswari Yoga Bhayankarai Sakala Sthavara
Jangamasya Mukha Hrudayam Mama Vasam Akarsha Akarshaya Namaha.”

This is similar to the first mantra mentioned first but slightly modified. It’s not just for removing obstacles to marriage, but also to avoid divorce and enhance fertility. It is all of the things that Parvati bestows upon her followers in a concise, singular mantra.

Miraculous Parvati Mantra Benefits

Parvati mantras are particularly powerful for removing obstacles to relationships and improving fertility.

Some of them are:

Remove delays in marriage. Whether man or woman, Parvati mantras will help to expedite the marriage process. If you’re a woman waiting for your man to propose to you, the Parvati mantra is for you. If you’re a man hoping your woman will accept your marriage proposal, the Parvati mantra is for you. Parvati is known for her devotion to Shiva, and chanting her mantras will confer this devotion to your own relationships.
Strengthen existing relationships. The Parvati mantra doesn’t just create relationships; it helps to build existing ones. Through devoted chanting of the Parvati mantras, you can overcome relationship obstacles in your life. Whether it’s a disagreement with the spouse or an issue which might shake the bedrock of your relationship, the Parvati mantra can help smooth things over.
Avoid divorce. If your marriage is already on the rocks, it might seem like divorce is inevitable. But through devoted chanting of the Parvati mantra, you may yet hope to avoid divorce. Through the use of the Parvati mantra, you should be able to reconcile your differences and rekindle your lost romance through invoking the devotion and love of Parvati and Shiva.
Increase fertility. If you’re struggling to conceive a child — or simply wish to avoid issues altogether — the Parvati mantras are perfect for you. Parvati is the goddess of fertility, derived from Shakti, mother of creation. Devoted chanting to Parvati will increase your chances of fertility and decrease the risk of miscarriage.
Inner strength and determination. We cannot make the mistake of just associating Parvati with her devotion to Shiva. In order to capture his attention, she had to achieve the same austerity as him, as well as the same physical and mental mastery. Chanting Parvati mantras help you to draw this inner strength and determination into yourself; increasing your motivation, your drive, and your ability to achieve goals.

Final Thoughts

Parvati is one of the many aspects of Maha Shakti, the universal feminine force and the mother of creation. She embodies not only marital devotion but inner strength and self-determination. Chanting her mantra will improve your marital situation, prevent divorce, embolden your own desires and goals, and promote fertility.

The Bhadrakali Mantra is an amazing life-saving Chant or Mantra that will help a person cast out great evils from one’s life. It is a powerful and mystical Chant given by the Goddess to help her Children and devotees who are accosted by the evil forces which also includes black magic.

A Free Printable Meditation Guide to help you chant Bhadrakali Mantra

I’m so proud of this meditation guide, so I couldn’t be more excited to share it with you today!

As you may know by now, I like to write long and helpful posts for my readers. Sometimes, however, I get an idea to do something more, something even more useful.

That’s why I decided to prepare something that people could have in hand while reciting mantras. Something printable, easy to read, and that could act as a meditation guide.

That’s how these guides were born.

This Bhadrakali Mantra meditation guide is completely free; all you need to do is to enter your email in the box below to unlock it.

Who is the Goddess Bhadrakali?

Goddess worship is also a prominent and important part of Hinduism. The Goddess Shakti or Durga is seen as a Motherly Goddess. Her name literally means Power.

She is often described and depicted as a fierce, bloodthirsty being with several hands that hold weapons and the bodyless heads of asuras or demons. It is said in one of her lore that she emerged from the third eye of the god Shiva in order to destroy a Demon who was granted a boon by Shiva himself.

The Goddess has many different avatars. She was reborn several times in order to provide for her People’s needs. In each form, a side of the great goddess is revealed.

Goddess Bhadrakali is one of her many forms. The prominent characteristic displayed in her Bhadrakali form was the ability, power and viciousness to destroy evil demons and their influences
Goddess Worship is most prominent in the southern Regions of India. There the Goddess is revered in all her forms.

When goddess maha Bhadrakali is worshipped, her power flows to the earth and to her people to use it vanquish evils or crush enemies. This is where the Chant comes in. The Bhadrakali mantra or chant-like any other chant in Hinduism is believed to create access to the powers of the great goddess through the sounds and vibrations produced during the chant.

The Goddess is seen as an auspicious sign for black magic, and so her chant, i.e. her mantra is used to start off any session involving the casting or removal of a curse.

What is Bhadrakali Mantra?

The Bhadrakali Mantra is a powerful chant that can help a person in a bad situation. It is a Chant that is a prayer to the Goddess Maha (Great) Bhadrakali.

The Bhadrakali Mantra can remove the effects of dark evil spells from your life cast by your enemies and also the effects of burinazar (the effects of a curse due to the jealousy of others). Sometimes life just does not go your way and you know it is not for lack of trying, then, you should try using the Bhadrakali mantra.

However, this chant also has its limits, and the only thing that limits the power of this chant is lack of knowledge. For example, how many times you need to recite it is dependent on your situation and the number of evil forces and influences in your life.

In order to avail the full benefits of this mantra, one must recite the chant several times over a period. This may be every day for a month or a year. It depends on your situation. When you form a habit of it may bring you closer to the greater powers of this universe.

People seek spiritual enlightenment and, in this day, and age of science this world is filled with skeptics. To find spiritual enlightenment, one must be willing to believe, and it is not very hard. At the very least you will be swayed by the powers of goddess Bhadrakali.

If you have come to seek direction, then this will definitely be of help to you. The Cosmic powers of the great ones are everywhere. Life itself is a great miracle. If you think about the intricacies of living organisms, you will see intelligent design.

I think we can agree that one or two kinds of living organism can be a coincidence but not millions.

How to Chant Bhadrakali Mantra?

The Chant itself is simple and short and goes like this “Om Shree Bhaadrakali Namah”. However, there are some necessary rules that you will need to follow in order to chant it correctly.

So here I give some simple and necessary point to remember and follow.

Always bath or wash your hands and feet before chanting.
Wearing white with some dark blue (close to purple) garments shows our absolute devotion to the goddess.
Make sure you always face east while chanting the Bharda Kali mantra.
You have to look at a picture of Goddess Bhadrakali or look up at the sun in the sky and when chanting.
In order to sense the positivity of the universe, you must devote yourself to Bhadrakali. You may do this by doing the simple task of reciting the Chant every day at least for 48 days for results.
Chant the mantras 9, 27, 54, 108, or 1,008 times on the beads of a rosary every day according to the magnitude of your desires.
Let thoughts pass you by, do not dwell on the past or future; concentrate on your mantra; and count the repetitions.

Bhadrakali Mantra meaning in English

I will break it down and explain the significance of each word and synergy of the chant together.

The Meaning of Om
The First Word is “Om” or “Aum”, and this word is considered sacred in Hinduism. The word is said to be sacred because, in Hindu mythology, this word was what started the creation of the world as we know it. The sounds or vibrations produced while chanting this word attunes you to the universe because it is said that the vibrations produced during the chant of this word is the same or at the very least related to the sounds that were produced originally when the universe was formed.

The word “Om” is also referred to as “Pranava” which is derived from a similar word, i.e. “Prana”. “Prana” means the breath of life and the word is used to describe breath and life which in ancient India was considered to be the same thing. This is true because all living things breath. Even the fishes in the water and the plants of the earth breath, albeit in different ways.

When one chants the word “Om” during meditation, it can help achieve a deeper level of meditation and can have profound effects on your body and soul. A deeper level of self-awareness can be achieved as you chant the word “Om” ushering you to a state where you are in tune with the sound of the universe.

The Meaning of Shree
The Word “Shree” is seen as an auspicious name. It is connected to the goddess Laxmi. Anything to do with the goddess Laxmi is usually something related to luck and wealth.
This word also has significant meaning in Indian astrology and numerology. Often Children whose names start with S or children named Shree are creative and hardworking. An attractive outlook is often desired by these people.

They value outer appearances and are often attractive themselves. They also have a very pragmatic approach to problem solving and life in general. They love and value independence and often when a problem arises, try to seek a solution by themselves and hesitate to seek it from a third party.
The Chanting of this word brings the Bhadrakali mantra the element of good luck and success.

The symbolism in these factors is hardly subtle. One can easily see that chanting of the word “Shree” brings in the required energy for success as it has relations with luck, stars, wealth and happiness which all points to the same direction, i.e. success.

The Meaning of Bhadrakali
As explained previously, Bhadrakali is the name of the Goddess. She is a powerful force of destruction who was created primarily for the destruction of evil. She is also one of the many forms of goddess Shakti.

The goddess maha Bhadrakali has at least three traditional stories of origin. Out of the three, the first one is about her origin lore that says she was formed from goddess Mahatmyam. This lore is told among the believers of Shaktism. The second Story has to do with King Daksha and is related and told among the followers of Shivaism. The third story is just as famous, and it is said that she was the daughter of the god Shiva.

The one common thing that binds all the stories together is her powerful evil destroying trait.

She brings the aspect of power to the Mantra or chant. In Tantra or witchcraft and many practices, customs and lore, names have power. Hence, by chanting the name of the goddess Bhadrakali, you manifest her power in order to destroy the obstacle in your life. This can be translated into not only removing a curse on you and your loved ones but also to aid in the destruction on your enemies.

The Meaning of Namah
The word “Namah” is used at the end of many Chants or mantras in Hinduism. You can also see this in the practice of Traditional Yoga.

“Namah” literally translated means bow. It is a word used to signify surrender and dependence on higher powers. The word “Namaha” in Sanskrit means ‘not me’. By chanting this word, you admit to yourself and put it out into the world that you are a part of the universe and it is not all about you.

There is much to be said about being selfless. It brings you a higher level of understanding and helps you become an overall better person.

This Word ushers in the aspect of being a person who is well in tune with the universe and a vessel of cosmic energy. By chanting “Namah”, your whole being gets elevated a little higher than before. What this does is that as a vessel who is more enlightened as your chanting progresses, you may hold and use more cosmic energy.

7 Amazing Benefits of Bhadrakali Mantra

I am sure I have convinced or t the very least swayed you to see the power or the workings of thismantra. I am going to highlight some of the main benefits, so here they are.

Love: This mantra is known for its power to help one find love by eliminating obstacles. Said obstacles might be a person or situation or even a character in you.

Cleansing of Aura: As you chant the mantra the goddess’ power will clean your soul destroying the aspects of you that hinders you. It does this by bringing forward the change that you will require for purification.

Victory over Evil: As the main purpose of the goddess’ creation was to destroy evil, when you chant it manifests her powers that destroyed evil and will help you similarly gain victory over evils both great and small, inside and out.

When to Chant Saraswati Mantra?

I shall assume that of all us understand that Hindu mantras are most effective when chanted during auspicious times. The best time to recite Devi Saraswati mantras is during Rohini, Mrigshira, Chandravalli nakshatras or the lunar mansion.

The nakshatras in Indian astronomy are ecliptic sectors. There are 28 (some sources mention only 27) sectors, and they relate to the most prominent asterisms. It starts with Ashvinī which lies in the Aries constellation and end with Abhijit in the constellation of Lyra.

The Mahabharata or the Hindu scripture credits the creation of nakshatras to Dakhsa, who was one of Lord Brahma’s sons. The nakshatras are personified as Daksha’s daughters who became the wives of Chandra or the moon god.

Let us discuss the auspicious times to chant this Vidya mantra in further detail:

Rohini

Sign or symbol: A cow drawn cart, a chariot, a banyan tree, and a temple.

Degree: In Indian zodiac, it is between 10 degrees to 23:20 degrees of Vrishabha Rasi. In western zodiac, it is between 6 degrees to 19:20 degrees of Gemini.

Meaning: Rohini is an extract from the word Rohan whose meaning translates, to bring or to rise to excellence.

The story behind it.

Rohini is the fourth of the nakshatras. It is called the red one in reference to its associated star Aldebaran, which is a giant red star in the constellation Taurus. It corresponds to the month of November on the solar calendar.

Hindu mythology describes her as the only one that the moon god intended to marry. Although he did end up marrying all the twenty-six sisters at the behest of their father, Rohini remained a favorite of the moon god, Chandra.

She was described as extraordinarily beautiful, an expert dancer, artistic and an expert in conjugal arts. Among all the sisters she was the only one who loved to indulge in beautiful dresses, jewelry, cosmetics and makeup. It is no wonder that the moon god fell entirely in love with her who spent most of his time with her.

Rohini is further divided into four quarters or padas.

The first quarter or pada is between 10 degrees and 13:20 Taurus which falls in Aries. It is ruled by the planet Mars. This pada is rich in spirituality, and extravagance.
The second quarter or pada lies between 13:20 and 16:40 degrees which fall in Taurus. It is ruled by the planet Venus and is the strongest pada in the entire zodiac and produces the best results from the mantras.
The third quarter or pada lies in between 16:40 and 20:00 degrees and falls in Gemini. It is ruled by the planet Mercury. This pada equates with the accumulation of wealth.
The fourth quarter or pada is between 20:00 degrees and 23:20 degrees and falls in the zodiac of Cancer. It is ruled by the moon. This pada equates with the undesirable qualities of Rohini such as narrow-mindedness, materialistic hoarding and being possessive.

Explanation

The lunar energies of the planet Venus and the moon saturate Rohini with the feminine energy. Rohini is the most fruitful, feminine and nurturing among all the nakshatras. It is also the most productive as well as receptive. During this period, garments of red, white and pastel shades with floral designs are most favorable.

Degree: In Indian Zodiac, it lies between 23:20 degrees Vrishabha and 6:40 degrees Mithuna. In western Zodiac it lies between 19:20 degrees of Gemini and 2:40 degree Cancer.

Meaning: It comes from the words Mrig which means deer and shira which stands for a head. So it literally means a deer’s head.

The story behind it.

Mrigshira is the fifth of the nakshatras. It corresponds to the constellation of Orion. She is one of the daughters of Daksha and one of the twenty-seven wives of the moon god, Chandra. It corresponds to the month of December on the solar calendar.

This nakshatra is divided into four pada or quarters.

The fourth quarter or pada is 3:20 degrees and 6:40 degrees and falls in the zodiac of Scorpio. It is ruled by the planet Mars. This pada relates to the negative aspect of the nakshatra such as being argumentative, jumping to conclusions and being suspicious.

Explanation

Mars being the primary ruler of this nakshatra, it provides the martian energy. It also forms a bridge between the zodiacs Gemini and Taurus and is the only nakshatra which lies equally on both. Therefore, there is a strong desire to balance the energy between air and the earth.

Physicians and teachers.

Chandravalli.

Another auspicious time to chant the Saraswati mantra is during Chandravalli. The story behind this figure is, to say the least. I, for one, think the story and the records are very ambiguous as well as mysterious.

Unlike the nakshatras of Rohini and Mrigshira, Chandravalli has no sign or symbol or degree in astrology. She was more of a physical entity in the ancient world during Krishna.

Some texts describe her as a beautiful and devoted gopi or a milkmaid. She was one of the many gopis that Krishna loved while on earth. There are sources that describe her as the sister of Radha, the chief consort of Lord Krishna. However, their affections for Krishna put them in very conflicting situations. In many places, Chandravalli, whose name means a multitude of moons, is portrayed as a stiff rival of Radha. This of course, is a constant source of grief to Radha, but something that Krishna finds intriguing.

However, she serves merely as a background to the epic love story of Krishna and Radha. She is portrayed as a submissive woman who charmed Krishna and enraged Radha in the process. In all the sources, she is depicted as the woman that always lost to Radha, whether in terms of talent, beauty and ultimately winning the love of Krishna.

In yet another source, Chandravalli is the flute that Lord Krishna plays. The flute is described as the physical embodiment of the intense love between Krishna and Radha. The flute was a gift from the chief god, Brahma. The music that flowed from the Chandravalli was so magical that all the wild animals and birds danced to it whenever Krishna played it. It was also very enchanting and drew all the milkmaids or the gopis to throng around Krishna.

Whichever version we choose to believe, it is an auspicious time to chant mantras to the goddess Saraswati.

Meaning of the Sudarshana Maha Mantra in English

Here’s a quick translation of this mantra.

“ O Lord Krishna, you are the controller of this entire universe, the senses. You are the supreme soul and the beloved one among the gopees. Please Param aatma, protect me from all evils, acts of others, evil mantra and weapons. O Lord, who has the entire world on his fingertips, who holds the mighty Sudarshana chakra and wards off evil from all eight directions, I surrender myself to thee.”

How and When to Chant Sudarshana Maha Mantra

This Sudarshana Maha Mantra can be initiated on birth(nakshatra) days and Ekadashi tithi days. It is very beneficial if you can recite it, but with busy work schedules these days, it may not be possible, that’y why you can also recite it on Saturdays and Wednesdays, which are the most favorable days.

This sacred mantra should be recited in the early morning after taking a bath or in the Sandhya Kala, i.e., evening. It is advised to do it sitting in front of an idol or picture of Lord Sudarshana/Lord Vishnu.
You can recite it for 3, 9, 11 or 108 times as per your convenience. And any individual can chant this maha mantra; there are no barriers.
You could also offer sweet food items made with sesame or laddu, tamarind rice, etc.
Tulsi and Lotus flowers can be used to offer to Lord Sudarshana.
Recite it facing the north and east direction.
While chanting the mantra, you can use the rosary beads made of tulsi or clear quartz crystals.

This mantra can also be used in Shri Sudarshana Homa or Yajna. Homas are thousands of years old rituals in which the mantra is recited over the burning fire which is the Yajna. They usually have elaborate setups with other routines. There are hundreds of homas for different purposes, and Sudarshana homa is one of the powerful ones.

Chanting of this mantra over a fire ritual or homa is a Vedic custom which accesses Lord Vishnu’s spiritual weapon, the Sudarshan chakra. The person on behalf of whom the homa is performed should be physically present in the homa or japa.

It won’t be possible for you to perform this homa every day, so you can also do it in the confines of your home. You can sit in front of a picture of Lord Vishnu, offer some flowers, burn a lamp and incense sticks. Take a glass of water and put a few tulsi leaves, cover the glass using the right-hand palm, recite the mantra and then the holy water can be given to people who need it.

If you cannot arrange much, then sit with a clear mind and chant the mantra daily. If you chant the maha mantra regularly with a pure heart, then you will definitely see results.

Who is Lord Sudarshana?

Lord Sudarshana is a manifestation of Lord Vishnu shown holding the Sudarshana Chakra in his rear right hand. In the other three sides, he holds a shank (conch), Gada (mace) and Padma (lotus). When Lord Vishnu is seen in his form holding ths chakra, he is acknowledged as Lord Sudarshana. This form of him is rightly called as the ‘Divine Vision’.

This weapon is of such significance that it is acknowledged as a deity itself. When you chant this powerful mantra, you are showering praise on the weapon by addressing it as a deity named Lord Sudarshana. You hail the powers that it unfolds and invoke the power of Lord Vishnu or Narayana. This powerful mantra helps to harness the auspicious qualities of the Sudarshana chakra which is one of the most feared and dreaded weapons in the universe.

Significance of the Sudarshana Chakra

It is the holy weapon of Lord Vishnu. This chakra has 108 serrated blades or edges. These blades lookout for evil and destroy them. Out of all his weapons, this is the most significant and powerful one. The sharp edges can severe anything in the Universe. The disc gives out immense heat as it is also an aspect of Agni who is the Lord of Fire.

The typical image of Sudarshana chakra contains a circular ring where Lord Sudarshana is shown with Sixteen hands. Around the circle are found flames of fire as a representation of the Sun God. On the other side there is an image of Lord Narasimha.

This ring represents the destruction of all evil forces and imparts victory of good over evil. When hurled at an enemy, this chakra slices through the air like a disc with blazing fire with a tremendous amount of power. It is known that the chakra can search for its enemy in all the four directions. So, this weapon is also considered as the protector of Dharma and justice among humanity.

In the Nrisimha Upanishads, there is narration as to how Lord Vishnu obtained this powerful weapon of destruction. Once when demons began to overthrow the Gods, so the gods went to Lord Vishnu and asked for his help. Vishnu wanted to have a mighty weapon to defeat the demons. So, he started praying to Lord Shiva and decided to offer one thousand lotus flowers and chanting the Shiva Mantras. Vishnu noticed that one of the lotus flowers were missing so he offered to give his own eyes to replace the missing lotus so that he could complete his prayer ritual.

Lord Shiva was so impressed by his exceptional devotion that he granted Vishnu a weapon of his choice. Lord Vishnu asked for the Sudarshan Chakra so that he could fight with the demons. Shiva fulfilled his wish and gifted him the most potent weapon in the universe.

sudarshan chakra small — Sudarshan Chakra

It is written in the Puranas that the heavens architect Vishwakarma made the Sudarshan Chakra from shreds of fire of the sun. Vishwakarma’s daughter was married to Lord Surya- the sun god. Due to his intense heat, she could not be with him, so she complained to her father.

To please his daughter, Vishwakarma shaved off the edges of the Sun to make it shine less. The leftover ‘sun dust’ was used to create three powerful celestial objects. The first one was the aerial vehicle called the Pushpaka Vimana, the second being the Trishul- the Trident. And the third one was the Sudarshana Chakra.

That is why the chakra is considered to be a blazing disc having all the power of the sun. It is a portable instrument and the most powerful among all of Vishnu’s weapons. Its presence also implies that Lord Vishnu is the keeper or owner of celestial bodies in the three lokhas (heaven, hell and earth).
You can also get the qualities of this weapon such as courage and fearlessness by praying to lord Sudarshana. The ultimate reason for worshipping this chakra is to refine your perception and vision by achieving an enormous amount of spiritual maturity.

The Absolute Guide to Shabar Mantra [How to Chant Them & More]

Shabar mantra is one that has been developed using the local dialects of India. Unlike a traditional Sanskrit mantra, we chant a shabar mantra for its inherent meaning.

The mantra originated from one of the principal deities, Lord Shiva, who passed on his knowledge to the goddess Parvati. Later on, during the 11th and 12th century, Guru Gorakhnath introduced the mantra to the masses after realizing its power. It is unique in that it follows no code, rituals, styles or grammar.

These mantras are considered even more powerful and effective than Vedic mantras. Each of the Vedic mantras is believed to have a Keelan or a lock. This lock restrains the power of the mantras. Only after chanting a certain required number of mantras we can unlock the potential. On the other hand, shabar mantras do not need a Keelan to be opened. Therefore, the mantra is as potent when it is first spoken. As a result of this, we will experience the desired results within a brief time.

While chanting this mantra, we will be filled by a deep sinking feeling in our heart. This signifies the enormous vibrational energy of the mantra and is not to be taken as a negative. It is also symbolic of the presence of the god of that mantra over our life.

These types of mantras available today are said to have been written by Guru Gorakhnath. While the meaning of some mantras can be easily translated and understood, others may be difficult for us to understand, and some do not carry any meaning at all.

I must point out that there are different types of these mantras available. They can range from mantras for resolving conflicts, peace, and success, bounding an adversary, healing poisonous bites, finance, love and many more. Among all the mantras, the most popular ones are shabar mantra for love and shabar mantra for money.

These mantras are predominantly practiced by the followers and tantriks who follow Guru Gorakhnath. However, they may also be practiced by anyone who has faith, devotion and positive intentions

Who is Lord Shiva and how Exactly is he Connected with this Mantra?

Lord Shiva or Mahadeva, is one of the gods of Hindu trinity called Trimurti. He holds a significant place in Hinduism for his ability to destroy as well as create. He is also called ‘the destroyer’ within the trinity.

We revere him for his powers to destroy imperfections such as greed and lust in the universe. He destroys the world so that a new creation can be allowed to flourish. He represents a complex character that is often full of passion, benevolence and acts as the protector. Other times, he is depicted as an ascetic, who washes his hands clean of pleasure and indulgence. During these times, he concentrates on meditation and is, therefore, the patron god of meditation, and yoga.

His union with his wife, Parvati is regarded as the perfect marriage. His wife brought balance and moderation in his nature. His marriage to her allowed him to be a lover as well as an ascetic. It is the reason why couples pray to him for a great married life.

Lord_Shiva — Lord Shiva Statue in Murdeshwara.

The highest form of Shiva is said to be limitless and formless. He is often represented as a man with blue skin and a cobra on his neck. The blue skin is symbolic of him swallowing poison to save the universe. The cobra being of the deadliest serpents, it represents Shiva’s absolute power.

Other iconography includes:

Three horizontal lines or the vibhuti on his forehead, which conceals his third eye. The third eye is the source of his power which once consumed the love god, as a consequence of distracting Shiva while in worship.
The trishul or the trident represents the trinity of Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva.
The crescent moon is a symbol of his ability to control time.
The matted hair is where the Ganges flows from.
The tiger skin he sits on represents his victory over lust and power.

Lord Shiva is said to have practiced meditation for years at a stretch. His connection to shabar mantra has a fascinating story attached to it. During the ancient times, the maharishis or ancients sages used to meditate in the Himalayas which were then covered in dense forests. During their long epic spells of meditation, their deep desire for moksha frightened the asuras in the area. Asuras are divine beings or demigods some of which were benevolent and others malevolent.

To prevent the sages from attaining moksha, the asuras used to disturb them and sometimes attacked them while deep in meditation. The sages prayed to Shiva for help. Being a practitioner of meditation himself, he understood their problem. Lord Shiva then composed the mantras for them. It is said that the first mantra was revealed to his wife, Parvati after he realized the shabar manta benefits.

The earliest shabar mantras were translated by Guru Gorakhnath who had attained Samadhi or the ultimate union with god. Because of their initial intended purpose, these mantras were meant to work fast with precision on the target.

How to Chant Shabar Mantra?

There are different types of mantras involving different deities, for example: Vashikaran, Laxmi, Hanuman, Saundarya, Siddha and Gorakhnath Siddha Shabar Mantra among others. However, because it requires invoking of god’s name and has immediate results, we must do it with faith and utmost care.

Typically, it can be chanted by both females and males.

Shabar Mantra for Love

Love mantras can be beneficial to increase attraction, increase chances of falling in love, and improve relationships and winning back our lost love. It may be chanted to vibrate positive energy from family and friends. It can also work to dispel negativity from jealous individuals as well.

Shabar mantra for love should never be chanted to hurt or get back at someone. It was not created for this purpose.

To reap the optimum benefits, we must chant with a positive mindset, visualizing the love and harvesting all the positive energy.

Some of the powerful shabar mantras for love that we may chant to improve our love life are:

“Om Nahom Kat Vikat Ghor Rupini (name of the beloved person) Say Vashmanay Swaha.”
“Om Shri Ganesham Vidhnesham Vivahaharthe Te Namah.”
“Om Shriganesham Vidhnesham Vivahaharthe Te Namah.”
