8 Powerful Maa Durga Mantras To Ward Off Evil

In the Hindu religion, Goddess Durga is one of the most popular deities and considered as the root cause of creation, maintenance, and destruction. Known by different names like Adi Parashakti, Shakti, Amba, Kali, Bhagvati, Bhavani, Gauri, etc.  she’s usually shown riding a lion and battling the evil forces in the world.

Maa Durga, the supreme Shakti, is the other half of Lord Shiva. While Shiva is the form, Durga is the expression. She’s also called the warrior goddess as she carries different forms of weapons. Her 8 arms signify 8 directions. Each of her arms holds a weapon like a conch shell, sword, Trishul, lotus, etc., which signifies that she protects her devotees from all evil. Riding a lion (symbolizing power), she too possesses unlimited power.

Incarnations of Devi Durga are Sati, Parvati, Yoganidra, Chandika, Kaushiki, Kali, Vindhyavashini, Raktadantika, Shakambari, Bhimadevi, and Bhramari. To awaken the Goddess, and ensure that she takes care of your well-being and prosperity, you must chant Durga mantra regularly. Reciting the mantras regularly helps you fight with the unwanted battles of your life and emerge victoriously. They also ward off evil spirits and keep you and your loved ones healthy and strong.

If you’re looking for ways to transform your life and please the Goddess, the Maa Durga mantra will come to your aid. Chant these mantras consistently and see the change for yourself.

Keep These Pointers in Mind Before Chanting Durga Mantras

• Use correct pronunciation while chanting the Maa Durga mantra. Wrong pronunciation can have negative repercussions on your lifestyle.
• Offer Red Vermillion or Roil, flowers, Bael patta, Rice, and Sindoor or Kumkum to Maa Durga while worshipping
• Use a dedicated space within your house to ensure you start experiencing positive vibes around that place. Choose a place which is east-facing and is open to allow fresh airflow. Regular airflow helps you maintain the energy you need to chant the mantras.
• Use a Rudraksha mala during the worship as it helps you remember the number of rounds you have completed.
• Keep your eyes closed and visualize Goddess Durga while chanting the mantras to improve your concentration and feel her presence around your body.
• Relax your mind and pray without any motive in your mind. Chanting the Durga Mata mantra with a selfless attitude helps you connect with Devi Durga faster and creates a positive aura around you.
• Take regular breaths while chanting the mantras as it controls your voice modulation and helps you maintain your rhythm.
