श्री शिव शतांगायुर्मन्त्र - Shatangayur Sukta Mantra Sanskrit Lyrics & Meaning by Markandeya Rishi
Learn the Shatangayur Mantra (शताङ्गायुर्मन्त्र) — a sacred Sanskrit mantra revealed by Rishi Markandeya in the Markandeya Purana, dedicated to Lord Shiva and Maha Bhairava in their fierce cosmic forms. This powerful hymn combines the divine seed syllables ह्रीं, श्रीं, हुं, फट्, representing supreme energy, protection, and purification. Chanting the Shatangayur Mantra invokes Bhagavan Bhairava, the destroyer of evil, removing negativity and harmful influences while bestowing long life (up to 100 years), good health, strength, and spiritual protection. Practiced in Tantric and Shaiva traditions, it awakens divine consciousness, subdues ego and anger, and shields devotees from psychic and planetary afflictions. Ideal for chanting on Tuesdays, Saturdays, Amavasya (new moon), Bhairava Ashtami, or during special Bhairava Sadhanas. Available in Sanskrit, Bengali, English, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Odia, Tamil, Telugu, and Russian.
