Indian Names and Parenting

Does you children have trouble with bad dreams, nightmares while sleeping? You really don’t have to worry, there is an age old Indian mantra that Grand mothers pass from one generation to another. It is is known as Arjuna’s ten, which is the 10 names of Arjuna. Arjuna is one among the Pandavas from the epic Mahabharata.

So here is the sloka/ mantra to overcome bad dreams, nightmare and fear:

Arjuna Phalguno Jishnu Kireedi Shwetavaahana BibhatsurVijaya Partha Savyasaachi Dhananjaya

But why this sloka/ hymn? The origins are as follows. People were afraid of natural disasters like thunder and lightning in the olden days. Since Arjuna was Indra’s son, they believed that if you recite the names in Praise of Arjuna, Lord Indra will be pleased. Please remember that Lord Indra is the lord of Rain, lightning and thunderbolt. Later to overcome any fear they started chanting this mantra.
