Sudarshana Mantra

Introduction

Maha Sudarshana Mantra is the mantra related to Lord Vishnu and his avatar Sudarshan. Chanting the mantra helps one relieve from bad luck, bad finances, and health issues. It fulfills a person’s mental state with happiness by bestowing him with all worldly things. 

The Deity

Lord Sudarshana is Lord Vishnu. The Lord holds the Sudarshana Chakra in his rear right hand. The other three hands hold a conch, mace, and a lotus flower. The form of Vishnu while holding the Sudarshana Chakra is known as Lord Sudarshana.

As worshipping Lord Vishnu puts an end to a person’s suffering, chanting his mantra provides the same effects.

The Sudarshana Chakra

Here we will know the Sudarshana Chakra and its meaning. The word Sudarshana is made of two words “Su” and “Darshana.” The word itself translates to auspicious vision; hence this is not only a Chakra but also a divine tool that lets one see the path clearly without any haze.

The Chakra clears the path of devotees toward salvation. The blades of the Chakra slice off the evil and all demonic power while shielding the devotees of Vishnu who recite the Sudarshana Mantra.

The disc of the Chakra denotes Lord Agni as it generates immense heat while rotating. The circular ring in the Chakra is a sign of fire which denotes Lord Sun. Thus the Chakra, other than being the divine weapon of Lord Vishnu, is also a weapon worthy of worship.

Those who chant the Sudarshana Mantra submit their prayers to Lord Vishnu as well as the Chakra, so every part of the Chakra starts working in favor of the individual. Since the Chakra is also able to identify its enemies in the directions, it also keeps the Dharma protected.

Maha Sudarshana Mantra

The mantra works by cutting off all unnecessary elements from your life. It helps you identify the most important things and heals a person physically, mentally, and emotionally. This mantra provides the grace of Vishnu by which a person starts making the right life decisions that every decision leads him toward the path of success and prosperity.

In life, our actions define our future, and if we understand the power of every decision while making it, we can’t be defeated by any power. Such power is bestowed to us by Sudarshana Mantra.

The meaning of the mantra goes like this, “O Lord Krishna, you protect the universe, and you control it. You are the supreme power, and you are the beloved of the gopikas. Oh Lord, protect me from every evil power. You who has the entire world in his hands. You who holds the Sudarshana Chakra and destroys every injustice, I surrender myself to you.”

Devotees can chant the mantra every day to make it work. If not daily, chanting the mantra on Wednesday and Saturday also brings beneficial results.
