Mangala Charan Mantra – Protection Mantra

In every Kundalini Yoga class we open our practice first with the *Adi Mantra* and then we chant 3 times the protection mantra – or – Mangala Charan mantra.

Translated:

I bow to the Primal Wisdom.
I bow to the Wisdom through the Ages.
I bow to the True Wisdom.
I bow to the great, unseen Wisdom

This is a powerful mantra and we chant for the benefits of:

Protection

To gain clarity

Receive guidance from one’s highest self

Creates a protective field of energy surrounding the person chanting

Attracting abundance

Helping to live out your Destiny

Covers and clears the past, present and future

Surrounds you with a field of white light of protection

Invoking and cultivating our highest well being

Origins:

Guru Arjan, the fifth Sikh Guru, wrote this prayer. This mantra is the Mangala Charan of the Sukhmani Sahib, a sacred prayer whose title translates as “Consoler of the Mind.”

Through the protection we invoke, our feet can continue walking in happiness and our mind can be consoled knowing all is in the hands of the great unseen Wisdom.

Chant this mantra anytime, anywhere, silently or aloud when you want protection, guidance or grounding.

You can also chant this mantra for 11 minutes as a meditation.

Experiment and find out for your yourself!
