Indra Mantra

Indram Mrila Mahyam Jivatum Ichchha Chodaya Dhiyam Ayaso Na Dhara | Yat Kincha Aham Tvayur Idam Vadami Taj Jushasva Kridhi Ma Devavantam ||

इन्द्रं मृळ मह्यं जीवातुमिच्छ चोदय धियमयसो न धारा । यत्किञ्चाहं त्वायुरिदं वदामि तज्जुषस्व कृधि मा देववन्तम् ॥

O Indra, be gracious to me, grant me life, and quicken my thought as a stream of metal is drawn out. Whatever I speak as one devoted to you, accept it kindly and keep me in the company of the devas.

Meaning & Significance

Indra Mantra is a traditional Sanskrit prayer dedicated to Lord Indra, chanted with a devotional focus on Vedic prayer to Indra for grace, long life and inspired thought. It gives the practitioner a clear devotional focus and can be used for daily prayer, quiet remembrance, or seated meditation. Beginners should learn the Sanskrit words carefully, pronounce each syllable clearly, and chant without hurrying. For ordinary devotional practice a modest fixed count such as 11, 21 or 108 repetitions may be chosen and kept consistent. If the mantra is used within a formal ritual or lineage practice, its method should be learned from that tradition or a qualified teacher. The practice is best understood as prayer and spiritual discipline, not as a guarantee of a particular worldly result.
