Not everyone is expert in Sanskarta nor everyone can do the typical rituals mentioned in the scriptures. This issue would draw a big line between the people of society. With such thoughts our great seers made a ground on which the seekers belonging to uneducated, poor and last line of society may also earn the worldly benefits. This attempt brought in various Mantras written in regional languages along with minimum procedures. When these were composed the masses of society belonging to all the castes were mostly illiterate, they had no social security for themselves. These Mantras came out as their hope for good life. This is another reason behind evolution of Sabara Mantras.

Although we have great Sabara scriptures throughout length and breadth of India which can bestow the goal of life liberation, here we present only those Mantras which can help the seekers to fight with their day to day issues. It is advised that sorcery shall be avoided, as these are only for the great saints where they can use it when the masses are in trouble .
