In the Vedic tradition, the seven stars of the Big Dipper asterism are considered to represent seven ancient sages called the Saptarishis. These sages are said to have influenced the development of human civilization, and they hold great power in the Universe.
Interestingly, the image of the Big Dipper is also used in classical Feng Shui as a powerful symbol to frighten evil spirits and keep them from causing harm to the occupants of a space. The seven stars, plus two “assistant” stars which are not visible to the naked eye, make up the nine stars of the Flying Star School of Feng Shui.
In the video below, we document the sound of an ancient mantra, oṁ saptaṛṣibhyo namaḥ. This mantra connects you with the stars of the Big Dipper and calls on the wisdom of the Saptarishis (seven ancient sages) to bring higher knowledge into your life and nullify negative karmic reactions.
Experiment with this mantra and see if it has any positive effect on your life or consciousness. Thursdays or full moon days are recommended as the best days for meditating with this mantra.
