Vakratundaya Dheemahi
In this Prayer the Devotee addresses Durga as Maa (which means Mother) and tells her
that he does not know any prayer, mantra or any magic summons for Durga. He also
admits his ignorance that he does not know how to meditate on Goddess Durga nor does
he know much about her story and glory or the various postures of Durga. He further says
that he is seeking shelter and protection from Maa Durga as following her command will
definitely put an end to all his sufferings. In most of the prayers to Goddess Durga ,the
person reciting addresses himself as an incompetent and ignorant who only knows that
that if he prays her, she will offer her unconditional help to him and save him from all his
miseries by giving him courage and strength for facing all troubles. Goddess Durga is
respected and referred as the mother of whole of the world and all nature who protects
her children from all troubles. How much ever a son/daughter be bad, can a mother be
cruel and hate or leave her own child? The Durga mantra is the one which has in it the
best way of reaching towards the motherly Goddess Durga who would never let her
children down. Maa Durga is that Mother to whom we can have a soul talk about our
sufferings and troubles and ask for mercy and forgiveness if one has done a wrong deed
and be rest assured that Durga Maa will never let you to be in distress.
There are several mantras for Goddess Durga but the Mantra
"Om Sri Durgaya Namah"is the most simple and easy mantra to remember. It is believed
that by chanting this mantra regularly the Universal Mother would remove all the
physical, mental, economic problems in our life. Some other Mantras of Maa Durga are

According to Hindu Mythology, Lord Vishnu plays the role of the preserver
of the Universe. He is also a member of the Hindu Trinity, the others being Lord Brahma
and Lord Shiva. According to Vishnu Sahasranamam Vishnu is considered as the
supreme god and worshipped with great reverence. In order to protect and preserve the
World Vishnu manifested to the world in a variety of forms, called Avatars. According to
the Bhagavad gita, whenever evil gains ascendance, God incarnates on earth to restore
dharma, punish the evil and protect the weak and the righteous. Vishnu Mantra forms the
part of prayers offered to the lord. Given below are some of the mantras of Lord Vishnu.
Lord Shiva is one of the trinities and is considered as the destroyer of the
world. He is one of the most popular Gods of the Hindu religion. Other than the Shiva
Mahamrityunjaya Mantra addressed to these deity there are a lot of other Mantras
devoted to this deity. I am putting a few below and would be posting more in future.
‘Mrutyunjayaaya Rudraaya
Neelakantaaya Shambhave
Amriteshaaya Sarvaaya
Mahadevaaya Te Namaha’
The Mantra
"We worship the Three-eyed One who is fragrant, immensely merciful & and who is the
Protector of the devotees. May he liberate us from death for the sake of immortality,
Even as the cucumber is severed from bondage to the creeper."
By chanting this Mahamrityunjay Mantra, divine vibrations are generated which wards
off all the negative vibrations and evil forces and create a powerful protective shield. And
it is said to protect the one who chants against accidents and misfortunes of every kind. It
is also said to have a powerful healing of diseases declared incurable even by the doctors.
This is the Mantra to conquer death and connects us to our own inner divinity. This
Mantra will grant you best health and preserve you from all kinds of misfortunes, dangers
and accidents. Even if there is an earthquake that tears the ground beneath you into
pieces, no danger can approach you. You will be protected wherever you are.
Mahamrityunjaya Mantra chanting helps to please Saturn.
Meditate on the meaning of this Mantra while you repeat it. Direct all your inner attention
to the wonderful, all-seeing and all-pervading Divinity as a radiant light. Feel the light in
front of you, behind you, above you, below you, all around you and inside you. God is in
our eyes, our soul and wherever we look God is there before us. This mantra should be
chanted facing the East or North direction and chanted preferably using a Rudraksha
rosary 108 times regularly starting on a Monday in a divine atmosphere.
