Ancient Sanskrit Big Dipper Mantra

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.

According to a classical text on Vastu Shastra called Vishwakarma Prakash, the Vastu Purusha, the deity which resides under the land plot of every construction or home, is described as the “king of Snakes” (Vishwakarma Prakash Chapter 1 Text 99). The text usually refers to the Vastu Purusha as the “Vastu Naga”, “Naga” being a Sanskrit word for a kind of spiritual dragon or snake deity. It goes on to recommend the appeasement of this Naga through the use of mantras containing the Sanskrit word “Sarpebhyo”, the plural dative case of the word “sarpa” which means serpent.

Interestingly enough, the ancient practice of Land Form School Feng Shui holds that the land contains “dragons”, or channels of energy flowing through the land under a site which can greatly help the occupants of a space if harnessed properly, or hurt them if not properly accounted for in the construction of a building.

In Vedic astrology, the deity of the Ashlesha nakṣatra is also referred to as “sarpa”, and is appeased by the recitation of this same mantra.

In addition to improving the Vastu or Feng Shui of a space, this mantra can also be used to remedy planets placed in Ashlesha nakṣatra. Nagas in the Vedic tradition are also considered to rule over hidden things including treasures of the earth and secret knowledge, so this mantra can help one discover hidden things or occult secrets. It is also recommended as a remedy for Kala Sarpa Dosha, or the placement of all planets between Rahu and Ketu in a horoscope.
