Sarp Bandh Mantra

Sarp Bandh Mantra refers to a traditional Shabar mantra used in tantric practices to immobilize or control a snake, often for protection during encounters. It draws from ancient texts and folk tantra, aligning with your interest in esoteric Hindu mantras and sadhana.

Sarp Mantra encompasses protective chants from Hindu tantra and Vedic traditions for snake control, repulsion, or dosha nivaran, building on the Sarp Bandh variant we discussed. Common forms include quick protective utterances and longer sadhana mantras.

Quick Protection MantraChant "Om Aastikeya Namah" or "Aastikeya, Aastikeya, Aastikeya" five times if a snake approaches; it calms and repels it per rishi vachans. No prior sadhana needed for emergency use

## Mantra Text :Stambhan (Immobilization) Mantra

The core Shabar mantra, as shared in tantric sources, is:  

"Badri Badri ki bajaar ke vaar, na ki bajra ki lu. Aaspaas mare sarp ho dekh mera kila, patthar kile patthar phute na, mera tilak chhute na. Meri bhakti guru ki shakti puri, mantra ishwara vacha." 

Siddh with 21,000 chants on Diwali night; use on mud lumps for effect. 

Dosha Nivaran Mantra"Om Sarpebhyo Namah" (Sarp Beej) – Chant 1 mala daily for 108 days facing north in yellow/white attire to mitigate Kaal Sarp Dosha effects like obstacles.

## Sadhana Method

Chant 1 mala (108 times) daily for 21 days using a rudraksha mala in a quiet space, facing east or north, with a lit lamp and incense. After siddhi, apply to path dirt or a stone by chanting 7 times and throwing at the snake to halt it. 

#How to safely perform Sarp Bandh mantra rituals at home

Safely performing Sarp Bandh (or Sarp Stambhan) mantra rituals at home requires strict discipline, purity, and prior experience with Shabar sadhana, as per tantric guidelines. Start only after guru deeksha if possible, and use for genuine protection, not experimentation. 

## Preparation

Select a quiet, clean room at home as your sadhana space. Use a rudraksha mala (108 beads, energized), wool or cotton asana (any color), ghee lamp, and incense. Face east or north; begin on an auspicious day like Tuesday or Saturday evening. Maintain brahmacharya, vegetarian diet, and daily bath. 

## Siddhi Procedure

Chant the mantra "Badri Badri ki bajaar ke vaar, na ki bajra ki lu. Aaspaas mare sarp ho dekh mera kila, patthar kile patthar phute na, mera tilak chhute na. Meri bhakti guru ki shakti puri, mantra ishwara vacha" once daily (1 mala, 108 times) for 21 days. Light the lamp, offer dhup, sit on asana, and focus mentally on Nagadevta. On day 21, perform hawan with 108 ahutis using sesame or ghee. 

## Usage Ritual

Post-siddhi, take path-side mud or small stone lumps (7 pieces). Chant mantra 7 times on them. Throw towards the approaching snake to immobilize it temporarily (hours). Effect wears off naturally; do not harm the snake unnecessarily. 

## Safety Precautions

- Only experienced sadhaks; beginners risk backlash or failure. 

- Never test on animals; ethical use for self-defense only. 

- If snakebite occurs, seek medical help immediately alongside mantra. Stop if uneasy; consult tantric expert. 

Sarpa mantras in Hindu scriptures primarily originate from the Mahabharata's Adi Parva, linked to the Sarpa Satra episode where Astika's invocation protected snakes. Additional references appear in Ayurvedic texts like Kashyapa Samhita for venom treatment and tantric works invoking Naga devatas. Mahabharata Sarpa Raksha MantraFrom the Astika Parva: "Jaratkarurjara tkarva samutpanno mahayashah, Astiko satyasandho mam pannag ebhyo abhirakshatu." Recited during sandhya vandanam, it invokes Astika (born of sages Jaratkaru) to shield from serpents, stemming from Janamejaya's yagna where snakes promised immunity to its reciters. Kashyapa Samhita SarpamantraThis Pancaratra text details "Sarpamantra" for serpent venom antidote, chanted 30,000 times from ashtami tithi with rice-jaggery offerings. Used post-diksha under guru guidance for viṣacikitsā (toxicology). Puranic Gayatri VariantsGaruda Purana and Naga Panchami slokas include Sarpa Gayatri like "Om Nagadevaya Vidmahe Padma Hastaya Dhimahi Tanno Vasuki Prachodayat" for dosha nivaran, tied to Vasuki and Ananta worship. 

Sarpa suktam

Sarpa Suktam is a Vedic hymn from the Krishna Yajurveda's Taittiriya Aranyaka (1.12) and Samhita (4.2.8), invoking protection from all serpents across realms. It comprises multiple suktas with the refrain "tebhyaḥ sarpebhyaḥ namaḥ," honoring snakes in earth, sky, water, and trees for dosha nivaran.
