In Vedic tradition,
Lord Shiva
isn't just a god; he's the ultimate destroyer and the protector. He guards you not only from obvious evils and dark energies, but also from those subtle, hidden daggers of jealousy that sometimes come wrapped up in fake compliments.
If you imagine envy as a Wi-Fi signal trying to hack your peace, then Shiva is your unbreakable firewall. Here are some incredibly powerful mantras dedicated to Him that work like spiritual armour against all kinds of negativity and toxic vibes.
1.
Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra
This mantra is your go-to for all-around
protection and healing
from any kind of unseen or psychic attacks.
Mantra:
ॐ त्र्यंबकं यजामहे सुगंधिं पुष्टिवर्धनम्। उर्वारुकमिव बन्धनान् मृत्योर्मुक्षीय मामृतात् ॥
Meaning:
It's a prayer to the three-eyed Shiva for liberation from fear, decay, and all forms of harm.
Why It Helps:
Jealousy creates a low, heavy energy around a person. Chanting this mantra literally lifts your aura above that negativity—think of it like floating above busy traffic in a peaceful, spiritual hot air balloon.
2.
Rudra Gayatri Mantra
Use this mantra to awaken your
inner strength
and actively push away negative influences.
Mantra:
ॐ तत्पुरुषाय विद्महे महादेवाय धीमहि। तन्नो रुद्रः प्रचोदयात्॥
Meaning:
"May we truly know the Supreme Purusha (the cosmic being). Let us meditate deeply on the Great God. May Rudra (Shiva) enlighten and inspire us."
Why It Helps:
Jealousy often targets your confidence and sense of stability. This mantra powerfully reinforces both, making you more resilient.
3. Shiva Dhyana Mantra
This one helps to
center your mind
and build a protective shield around your soul.
Mantra:
ॐ नमः शिवाय शान्ताय कालस्वरूपाय नमः॥
Meaning:
"Salutations to Shiva, who embodies peace and is the very form of time itself."
Why It Helps:
Envy thrives and grows in chaos. This mantra calls upon Shiva's calm, powerful presence to neutralize any disturbance trying to get to you.
4.
Karpura Gauram Karunavataram
This beautiful prayer effectively
wraps you in divine grace
, offering a protective layer.
Mantra:
कर्पूरगौरं करुणावतारं संसारसारं भुजगेन्द्रहारम्। सदा वसन्तं हृदयारविन्दे भवं भवानीसहितं नमामि॥
Meaning:
"I bow to the one who is as white as camphor, who is the embodiment of compassion, the essence of the world, adorned with the king of serpents as a garland. I salute Shiva, who forever dwells in the lotus of the heart, along with Goddess Bhavani."
Why It Helps:
Divine grace simply overcomes petty gossip and ill-will. This mantra surrounds the person chanting it with a radiant, protective aura that even the strongest jealousy can't penetrate.
How to Use These Mantras:
Chant 11 or 108 times daily
, ideally after you've had your bath.
Light a
diya
(lamp) or incense
for an added ritualistic effect that enhances the atmosphere.
Visualization is powerful:
As you chant, imagine a bright, glowing shield forming around you, radiating outwards as the words vibrate.
