Mahamrityunjaya Mantra

 

Lord Shiva, the third member of the Hindu Trinity ( The Trinity comprises of Lord Brahma who is the creater, Lord MahaVishnu who is the preserver and Lord Shiva the destroyer), is said to be the Lord of great mercy and compassion. Lord Shiva is one of the most worshipped Gods in the Hindu Religion. Lord Shiva's destruction is not negative but nourishing and constructive. Lord Shiva's destruction builds and transforms life and energy for the welfare of the world. The Mahamrityunjay Mantra, which is addressed to Lord Shiva who is also refferred to as Snake God, is a centuries old technique of connecting one to pure consciousness and bliss. It is Lord Shiva's moksha mantra. The Maha Mrityunjay is a mantra that is said to rejuvenate, bestow health, wealth, a long life, peace, prosperity, satisfaction, immortality and contentment. Mahamrityunjay Mantra is a Mantra to conquer death and connects us to our own inner divinity.

"Om Tryambhakam Yajamahe

Sugandhim Pushtivardhanam

Urvarukamiva Bandhanan

Mrityor Mukshiya Maamritat"

( which means we worship the Three-eyed One who is fragrant, immensely merciful & and who is the Protector of the devotees. May he liberate us from death for the sake of immortality, Even as the cucumber is severed from bondage to the creeper.)

By chanting this Mahamrityunjay Mantra, divine vibrations are generated which wards off all the negative vibrations and evil forces and create a powerful protective shield. And it is said to protect the one who chants against accidents and misfortunes of every kind. It is also said to have a powerful healing of diseases declared incurable even by the doctors. This is the Mantra to conquer death and connects us to our own inner divinity.

Mahamrityunjay Mantra is used while charging the Rudraksha Beads or on the Puja performed before wearing the Rudraksha. I guess you forgot to add it.

Maha Mrityunjay  Mantra is also used for healing when a person is suffering from  sever illness or on the death bed!

This Mantra helps in dealing with fear of death as well as keeps the person at the level of real inner courrage. So that  the power of  the Mantra heal the person.

Some time  it helps to release the  soul from karmas and the person becomes peaceful!

Hi Rajanji, Thanks for the comment. This is one of my favourite mantra's and helps me to stay calm. As the description of the mantra says, it removes the fear of death. But devotion is very important.

This is very interesting . I suppose  each ethnic group has its own diety but I guest they are all connected to the master diety.
