We all should agree that there is something comforting about the sound of an ancient mantra echoing through early morning silence. The Swastik Mantra hold the same vibe. It is not some average affirmation, it’s a rhythmic request for harmony, health, and higher protection. 

What is the Swastik Mantra?

ॐ स्वस्ति न इन्द्रो वृद्धश्रवाः।

स्वस्ति नः पूषा विश्ववेदाः।

स्वस्ति नस्तार्क्ष्यो अरिष्टनेमिः।

स्वस्ति नो बृहस्पतिर्दधातु॥

Om Swasti Na Indro Vriddhashravāḥ

Swasti Nah Pūṣā Vishvavedāḥ

Swasti Nas Tārkṣhyo Ariṣṭanemiḥ

Swasti No Bṛihaspatir Dadhātu

It roughly translates to:

May Indra, the powerful, bless us with well-being.

May Pushan, the all-knowing, nourish and protect us.

May Garuda, the fearless protector, guard us from harm.

And may Brihaspati, the guru of the gods, sustain our peace and wisdom.

The Meaning of Swastik Mantra

According to ancient texts, Swasti isn’t just about wishing well, it’s a full-on cosmic green light. Swa means self and asti means to be, so at its root. So, Swasti means ‘may your being be well.’ This isn’t just a nice thought, it’s a frequency you should align with. Each line of this mantra invokes a powerhouse deity. The Swastik Mantra is linked to: 

Indra: The king of all gods. He blesses you with courage, strength, and protection.

Pushan: The guardian of travellers, animals, and journeys.

Garuda: He is the mythical eagle, the destroyer of negativity.

Brihaspati: Known as the divine teacher in ancient texts. He is associated with wisdom, clarity, and spiritual growth.
