Dussehra Mantras: Chant for Inner Strength and Protection
Posted on September 28, 2025 | By Mantra Master Series
“Mantro Vai Brahma” – The mantra is indeed Brahman itself.
As the sacred nine nights of Navratri culminate toward the glorious Dussehra on October 2, 2025, the very atmosphere resonates with divine vibrations. These mantras become our spiritual armor, transforming inner consciousness and creating protective shields against negativity. At Hindutone.com, we present these time-tested Vedic invocations that have guided seekers for millennia, each syllable charged with the power to elevate your sadhana.
Derived from the Vedas, Puranas, and sacred tantric texts, these mantras harness the victorious energy of Lord Rama’s triumph over Ravana and Goddess Durga’s conquest over Mahishasura. More than mere recitations, they are sonic keys that unlock the divine potential within every seeker.
The Science of Sacred Sound
Vibrational Healing Through Mantras

- Rewire Neural Pathways: Regular chanting strengthens positive thought patterns
- Balance Chakras: Sacred sounds activate and harmonize energy centers
- Reduce Stress Hormones: Rhythmic recitation calms the fight-or-flight response
- Enhance Focus: Mantra meditation improves concentration and mental clarity
The Power of 108 Repetitions
The number 108 appears throughout Hindu cosmology and is scientifically significant:
- Astronomical: Distance from Earth to Sun = 108 times Sun’s diameter
- Physiological: 108 marma points (vital energy centers) in human body
- Mathematical: 108 = 1² + 2² + 3² + 4² + 5² + 6² + 7² + 8²
