5 Durga Mantras To Shield Against Jealous Friends, Evil Relatives & Toxic Colleagues
The truth is - energy can be absorbed and affected by the people and environment around us. Some colleagues, friends, or relatives unknowingly project envy or tension. The longer you stay in that field of negativity, the more it seeps in, affecting your health, your mood, and even your opportunities.
Do you sometimes feel like the world is heavier than it should be? Like no matter what you do, your energy feels drained, your luck seems off, or your body and mind are just… tired? If yes, you are not alone. Many of us live in a constant tug-of-war with invisible forces: jealousy, criticism, negative vibes, and even our own thoughts can drain us, leaving us restless, irritable, or sick without a clear reason. But there’s a way to reclaim your energy, by protecting your inner field and strengthening your own presence. Across centuries, people have turned to Goddess Durga, the embodiment of power, courage, and clarity, to shield themselves and restore balance.
Om Dum Durgayei Namaha
ॐ दुं दुर्गायै नमः
Think about the friend who smiles while criticizing you, or the colleague who takes subtle jabs at your work. Even if they don’t intend to hurt you, their energy leaves a mark. This mantra is your core shield. Every repetition is like telling yourself: “I remain untouched. I am steady. I am safe.”
When you chant it, picture your energy as a light inside your chest - a light no one can dim. You are reclaiming what belongs to you: calm, focus, and dignity.

सर्वमङ्गल माङ्गल्ये शिवे सर्वार्थ साधिके।
शरण्ये त्र्यंबके गौरी नारायणी नमोऽस्तुते॥
Have you ever walked into a family gathering or a workplace and felt tension in the air before a word was spoken? Gossip, comparison, or hidden criticism can surround you without notice. This mantra creates a protective field around your energy, guarding against negativity coming from any direction.
It doesn’t change others, it changes you. With this shield, you can navigate the world without absorbing others’ jealousy or doubts. You can stay centered, even when the air is thick with resentment.
Om Aim Hreem Kleem Chamundaye Viche
ॐ ऐं ह्रीं क्लीं चामुण्डायै विच्चे
Sometimes, people don’t even say a word - yet you leave a room feeling lighter, calmer, or conversely, heavier and tense. That’s subtle negativity at work: envy, resentment, unspoken judgment. This mantra uproots that subtle harm, clearing the mental and emotional residue others leave behind.
Visualize it as washing the air you breathe, letting tension fall away, so your energy can stay light, sharp, and positive.

Namastasyai Namastasyai Namastasyai Namo Namah
या देवी सर्वभूतेषु शक्तिरूपेण संस्थिता।
नमस्तस्यै नमस्तस्यै नमस्तस्यै नमो नमः॥
Jealousy and negativity often feel personal, but most of the time, they’re reflections of others’ fear, insecurity, or unmet desires. This mantra reminds you: the same divine energy flows in all beings, including those whose actions feel hostile.
When you chant it, you cultivate awareness and compassion, and suddenly, their envy cannot touch you. You see it without internalizing it, store positivity in yourself instead, and stop letting external tension disturb your inner calm.
Om Shakti Devyai Namaha
ॐ शक्तिदेव्यै नमः
Nothing protects better than inner power. When you feel drained, unlucky, or sick with stress, this mantra activates your Shakti - your energy, confidence, and clarity. It’s a reminder that your well-being isn’t dependent on others’ moods or opinions.
Visualize the mantra as a flame in your heart. Each time you chant, it grows brighter. By the end, no amount of envy, gossip, or subtle criticism can dim it. Your energy is yours - strong, steady, and untouchable.
