Mantra for Protection
Shield yourself from negative energies, evil eye, and harmful influences with these powerful protective mantras.
Protection mantras create an energetic shield around the practitioner, warding off negative influences, evil intentions, and harmful energies. In the Vedic tradition, the concept of "kavach" (armor) is central — sacred mantras are believed to form an invisible protective barrier around the chanter.
Lord Hanuman is the supreme protector deity, and his mantras — particularly the Bajrang Baan — are considered the most powerful shield against all forms of negativity. The Mahamrityunjay Mantra provides protection against untimely death and accidents, while the Rudra Mantra invokes Shiva's fierce protective form.
Protection mantras are especially recommended during times of travel, conflict, health crises, or when you sense negative energies in your environment. They are also chanted proactively as a daily spiritual hygiene practice to maintain a clean, strong aura.

LinkedInI grew up in a household where every morning began with the fragrance of incense and the sound of aarti. What started as a family tradition became a deeply personal practice — I found that chanting mantras before work brought clarity to my decisions, calm to stressful days, and a sense of connection that nothing else could.
As an entrepreneur, I noticed that authentic mantra resources online were either incomplete or hard to follow. So I built MantraList.in — a place where seekers can find accurate Sanskrit text, proper pronunciation, word-by-word meaning, and practical chanting guides, all in one place. Every Mantra for Protection page on this site is personally reviewed by me to ensure the Sanskrit is correct and the guidance is rooted in tradition.
When I am not building MantraList.in, I perform evening aarti with my family — a ritual that keeps me grounded through the demands of entrepreneurship. I believe mantras are not just words; they are vibrations that transform your inner world, and everyone deserves access to them.
