Vel Murugan Mantra
During the giving of Vazhipaadu, Sage Agastya gave Anuradha a mantra to nullify the effects of black magic performed on her.
The ritual is as follows: Place a kalasham with water on the altar. Keep a lemon in front of it. Do not ever touch the lemon. Chant the mantra given in bold below six times for six days. On Friday, immerse neem leaves in the kalasham. And taking camphor, perform arati three times. Allow the neem leaves to sit in the kalasham for thirty minutes. Then take the neem leaves and sprinkle kalasham water around the house. Without touching the lemon, using a newspaper, pick it up and burn it in a place where people do not walk around.
If performed with faith and devotion, the lemon should turn pitch black, after absorbing all the negative energy. So, remember faith and devotion are important.
The advice and instructions given in lyrical form is translated here. A video with chanting of the mantra by Dr S Mahesh Gurukkal, Agasthyam, International is given below as well.
A Potent Mantra
(Sage Agastya)
(i)
Bowing to Arumugan
Bowing to Akhilandeshwari
Bowing to Adhi Parashakti
I will tell you, listen!
(ii)
You asked why all this suffering?
You asked for a solution to end this suffering,
Everything that has happened
Is because of your own actions!
(iii)
To help the fire burn faster
You poured ghee into it
When the flames burst and crackled
You were unable to bear it!
(iv)
Undergoing suffering,
You are now bowing to the husband of Valli
Hoping for a little solace!
(v)
There is not enough devotion
In your prayers
(vi)
I will be of support to you
I will conquer the enemy
Wait, but for a while
(vii)
Pray to God
To remove the
The black magic performed by others
By its roots
(viii)
As the powerful spear dances the tandav
The younger brother of Vinayagan
Will come by himself!
(ix)
There is no room for worries
In this house where Gods are present
To rip the bad spirits that are coming rapidly
Along with their roots,
In the fire of the spear
To pick and crush
Chant the mantra that I give you
Daily
(x)
“Om Velaayudhane vegaamai vandhu
Ennaiyum ennai soozndhorayum kaapayaaga
Rakshamaam, rakshamaam, rakshamaam.”
(xi)
Chant this mantra, six times for six days
With one mind
Without thinking of anything else
With discipline
(xii)
On Friday, take some neem leaves
And place them at Divine mother’s feet
And close your eyes and pray for a moment
(xiii)
Taking the camphor incense
Encircling it three times,
Take the neem leaves that you have encircled
Dip it in water for thirty minutes and sprinkle it
Around the house
All the suffering will run along with the bad spirits
(xiv)
When the light that comes from the forehead of mother
stands in front of the spear
of Velayudhan
Light will illuminate all over your home
And in just nine days,
Good will increase
(xv)
When good days are very close
Why do you cry?!
After Anuradha had completed the six-day ritual, Sage Agastya sang thus:
Aarumuga’s Grace
(Sage Agastya)
My beloved daughter[1],
listen!
In order to gain the blessings of Arumuga
As you chanted his mantra for six days
As the six days came to completion
As you too came close
As you gained the blessings of Akhilandeshwari
As the waves in your mind disappeared
As the forms surrounding you started running
As they kept running, running with fear
As you sang and sang, and I danced and danced
As love grew and so did beauty
Your form took deep root
And your inner self blossomed
And as I said good news would come
And that everything would be good
And as that approached quickly
And with me by your side
All your troubles ran and ran
And all your suffering destroyed, destroyed
As joy transcended
As material and praise came searching
As my mercy came behind you
All that is happening is for the good
I declare!
I, Agastya am saying
Good days are coming
For all of you
I am pleased with
Your devotion and your faith
In bowing to me,
Blessings!
