1. Introduction
The coronavirus pandemic has touched all our lives and dramatically affected our daily routines. Strict measures have been put into place for our protection and we are learning how to adapt to this new situation. While there is a good deal of information available on what we can do medically to protect ourselves from the coronavirus, many of us are looking for spiritual help in these difficult times, as we covered in our blog on whether coronavirus prayers work. There is a simple chant that not only helps to protect us from the harmful effects of the coronavirus but also increases our internal strength.
When we repeat the Name of God, we attract the Divine positive energy associated with that Name of God and a protective sheath of the spiritual energy of that Name is created around us. Given below is a specific chant for spiritual protection against the coronavirus. The Names of God given in this chant are in Sanskrit (an ancient Indian language). The particular sequencing of this chant has been obtained through spiritual research. The chant invokes the spiritual energy from 3 Deities or Divine principles of God. Deity Durga represents a principle of God that carries out the function of the destruction of evil. Deity Datta among other functions in the Universe protects against problems caused by the subtle bodies of deceased ancestors and negative energies. Deity Shiva represents the principle of God responsible for dissolution. The chant is to be repeated in the following sequence.
- Shri Durgadevyai Namaha
- Shri Durgadevyai Namaha
- Shri Durgadevyai Namaha
- Shri Gurudev Datta
- Shri Durgadevyai Namaha
- Shri Durgadevyai Namaha
- Shri Durgadevyai Namaha
- Om Namah Shivaya

How many times should I repeat the chant ?
I am not affected : If you are not feeling any symptoms related to a coronavirus infection, you can mentally repeat this chant 108 times daily. It takes about a little over an hour to do so (i.e., to say all 8 chants in sequence 108 times).
I am infected or I am showing symptoms : In case you feel the symptoms or are infected by the virus, you can mentally repeat this chant 648 times daily to increase your spiritual power to fight the coronavirus. This takes about 7.5 hours.
Is this chant enough to protect me ?
This chant protects one at the spiritual level – this is because the root cause of the creation and spread of the virus is spiritual in nature.
However, since the symptoms are physical in nature, we must follow all measures at the physical level (such as washing your hands, maintaining social distance, avoiding touching one’s face, coughing into one’s elbow, etc.) as advised by doctors along with taking any medical treatment advised by them to protect ourselves from it.
Please note that chanting alone is not a substitute for physical or psychological remedies advised by medical professionals.
