Mahishamardini Mantra for Protection
Lyrics:
महिषमर्दिनि स्वाहा । महिषहिंसिके हुं फट् । महिषशत्रो शार्ङ्गी हुं फट् । महिषं भीषय भीषय हुं फट् । महिषं हन हन देवि हुं फट् । महिषसूदनि हुं फट् ।
mahishamardini svaahaa . mahishahimsike hum phat' . mahishashatro shaarngee hum phat' . mahisham bheeshaya bheeshaya hum phat' . mahisham hana hana devi hum phat' . mahishasoodani hum phat' .
Meaning:
महिषमर्दिनि स्वाहा
O Devi, the crusher of Mahisha, I offer this oblation.
This is surrender. You are invoking Her as the one who completely overpowers the inner and outer demons.
महिषहिंसिके हुं फट्
O destroyer of Mahisha, strike and shatter.
‘Hum’ and ‘Phat’ are bija sounds of force and cutting. This is not gentle prayer. This is command for destruction of negativity.
महिषशत्रो शार्ङ्गी हुं फट्
O enemy of Mahisha, wielder of divine weapons, cut and destroy.
You are calling Her as the active warrior, not just protector. She is already in battle.
महिषं भीषय भीषय हुं फट्
Terrify Mahisha, terrify him again, strike and shatter.
This is psychological breaking. First fear, then fall. The ego must tremble before it collapses.
महिषं हन हन देवि हुं फट्
Kill Mahisha, kill him, O Devi, strike and destroy.
Direct call for elimination. No compromise. No negotiation with adharma.
महिषसूदनि हुं फट्
O slayer of Mahisha, destroy completely.
Final closure. Not suppression. Total removal.
Benefits of Listening:
Protection from negative influences
Not just external energies, but also people who carry jealousy, ill will, or harmful intent. The sharp bija sounds act like a boundary. Things that drain you don’t easily cross it.
Protection from fear and inner weakness
The repeated calls to Devi as Mahishasuramardini build inner courage. Fear loses its grip. You stop reacting like prey and start standing like a warrior.
Protection from overthinking and mental disturbance
Mahisha is stubborn confusion. This mantra breaks that loop. The mind becomes clearer, more decisive, less trapped in endless thoughts.
Protection from hidden hostility
Situations where everything looks normal on the surface but something feels off — this chant strengthens your inner alertness and shields you from subtle harm.
Protection from sudden obstacles
The energy of ‘hum phat’ is about cutting through blocks. Things that were getting stuck begin to move, or at least stop weighing you down.
Protection during vulnerable phases
When you are emotionally low, confused, or facing pressure, this mantra creates a protective field so you don’t collapse under that weight.
Protection from tamasic pull
Laziness, dullness, avoidance — these are also forms of Mahisha. This chant pushes you out of that inertia and restores movement.
Is initiation necessary to listen to this mantra?
No. Initiation is required only if you want to do mantra sadhana, not for listening. You just have to listen to the mantras we provide to get benefited.
