As the week begins, we’re invited to meet Monday not with dread or hustle, but with light.
And what better way to do that than with a mantra that literally invokes the benevolence of the Sun?
Today’s Monday Mantra is:
✨ Om Hraum Mitrāya Namaha ✨
Salutations to Mitra, the divine friend and bringer of harmony.
🌞 Who is Mitra?
Mitra is one of the ancient solar deities of the Vedic tradition, often associated with friendship, clarity, harmony, and the warmth of connection. While Surya is often worshipped as the visible sun, Mitra is the subtle force of solar benevolence—the inner light that reminds us we are held, supported, and never alone.
This mantra calls forth that gentle, illuminating energy. It is perfect for softening the heart, strengthening connection with others, and radiating light from the inside out.
💛 Why This Mantra on a Monday?
Monday is ruled by the Moon in astrology, often associated with emotions, intuition, and the inner world. This makes it a beautiful canvas for bringing in the balancing energy of the Sun through mantra. Om Hraum Mitrāya Namaha invites warmth and clarity into the emotional waters of the week ahead.
It’s a reminder that we get to choose our frequency—and we can begin the week grounded in radiant presence.
🔆 How to Use This Mantra
You might chant this mantra 108 times with a mala, or simply repeat it softly 9 or 27 times in the morning light. Here’s a little ritual to anchor it:
- Light a candle or sit near a sunny window.
- Place your hands in Hridaya Mudra (right hand over heart, left hand gently holding the right) to open the heart.
- Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and chant:
Om Hraum Mitrāya Namaha (Aum hrowm mee-TRAA-ya na-ma-ha)
- Visualize golden light pouring into your heart and radiating outward, connecting you with those you love and with the gentle strength within you.
🌿 A Blessing to Begin Your Week
May the sun rise gently in your heart.
May friendship—within and without—bless your path.
May you walk this week with warmth, joy, and quiet radiance.
