The Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra

Feb 16th, 2007 | By admin | Category: spiritual

The Mantra is addressed to Lord Shiva and is a centuries old technique of connecting one to pure consciousness and bliss.

Om Tryambakam Yajamahe

Sugandhim Pusti-vardhanam |

Urva-rukamiva Bandhanan

Mrtyor-muksheeya Ma-amritat ||

(Source: Sukla Yajurveda Samhita III. 60)

Meaning:
Om. We worship The Three-Eyed Lord Shiva who is fragrant and who increasingly nourishes the devotees. Worshiping him may we be liberated from death for the sake of immortality just as the ripe cucumber easily separates itself from the binding stalk.

Explanation:
The mantra is a prayer to Lord Shiva who is addressed as Sankara and Trayambaka. Sankara is sana (blessings) and Kara (the Giver). Trayambaka is the three eyed one (where the third eye signifies the giver of knowledge, which destroys ignorance and releases us from the cycle of death and rebirth).

Chanting of the Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra (also known as the Moksha Mantra of Lord Shiva) creates divine vibrations that heals, and pulsates through every cell, every molecule of human body and tears away the veil of ignorance.

It is said that chanting of this Mantra generates divine vibrations that ward off all the negative and evil forces and creates a powerful protective shield. Besides, it is said to protect the one who chants against accidents and misfortunes of every kind.
