Shapodhara Mantra - शापोधरा मंत्र

Shapodhara Mantra

Translation:

OM Atma Tattva, Vidya Tattva, Shiva Tattva
and the qualities of manifest and psychic reality; She, Chandi, Goddess of Surrendered Mind

By your power the curses are removed - it is so!

Listen to the mantra:

This mantra is a powerful call to Goddess Chandi, Durga the Slayer of Demons, to remove curses that have been placed by anyone at any time from the realities we inhabit physically, dream in, and practice spiritual devotions within.

At SHARANYA, we use this mantra in our monthly pujas as part of the purification process prior to invoking Devi (Goddess). In addition to calling on the power of Chandi to remove curses, we actively pray with this mantra that curses on all aspects of Goddess and the Feminine in self and world are removed as well. We specifically engage the power of our lineage to help perform this work.

Use this mantra in your daily practice to liberate spaces in your inner and outer landscapes of awareness from any of the tyrannies or injustices that keep you from your true nature, or that keep the world in which you engage from its greatest potential.
