MAHA MRITYUNJAYA MANTRA
Om Trayambakam Yajamaha, Sugandhim Pushtivardhnam,
Urvaraka Miva Bandhanat, Mrityor Muksheeya Mamritat
Meaning:
I bow down to three-Eyed Lord Siva, Who is full of
sweet fragrance,
Who nourishes well beings; May He free me from the
bondage,
Of Samsara and Death, Just as the ripe cucumber is
severed,
From the bondage to the Creeper! May I be fixed in
Immortality!
Tryambakam :
Tryambakam is Lord Siva. We devoutly utter, "Trayambakam"
with the Bhavas, that Siva is the Lord of three
Mothers of the Universe; That he is the Three eyed
Lord; and beg for his grace to attain immortality.
In Vedic Paribhasha, the three mothers are Gayatri
Chandas (Gnyana Sakti); Tristup Chandas (Icha Sakti);
Jagat Chandas (Kriya Sakti);
Sugandhim: "Gandha",
is smell or odour; it is sugar or vishama Gandha. 'Sugandha'-is
fragrance that bestows Pusthi or growth or
development on other things, and protects them from
vikara;
Pushtivardhanam:
Pushtivardhanam, is Lord Siva, who nourished well
all beings, who bestows growth and development who
develops small things from smaller to larger
avastas, of diverse and numberless sizes, and to
him we offer our prayers for immortality while we
utter 'Pushtivardhanam'.
Yajamaha: "Yajamaha"
indicates, the Union through the combination of the
Three Saktis with Lord Siva who is Amara, and
thereby enemy to Death, who is Prakash, thereby
enemy to Darkness, who is staanu, and thereby enemy
to Astirtva; who is supreme source of Amrita,
Prakash, an Sthira Bhavas. Hence, we surrender
ourselves completely to Lord Siva; and through
surrender live in contact with and related to Him
while we chant "Yajamaha"
Mrityor Bandhanat Urvaraka Miva Muksheeya:
We thirst to be liberated from countless kinds of
diseases; from Agnyana, from numerous diverse forms
and durations of births and deaths; and to conquer
Death.
The attainment of Mukti or freedom from the wheel
of births and deaths is the Aim and Goal of the
Aspirant who chants this Mantra; so he prays to
Lord Siva to liberate him from Death for the sake
of immortality, even as the cucumber is freed
without effort, from its bondage to the creeper.
Mamritat Muksheeya:
Relationship is established by the aspirant with
Brahman, who is Amara, Prakasa, Nitya, Ekaakaara;
Thereby, the Aspirant also becomes Amara Prakasa
and enjoys Avichanna relationship with Brahman
(Lord Siva) who is Amara; Prakasa, Susthira
Swaroopa. Thus, through fervent constant Japa of
this Mantra, the Aspirant attains the Stairya of
the Sanatana Relationship between the Jeeva and
Paramatma and Atmashema.
IMMUNIZED
The regular recitation of this Mantra cures the
present disease, prevents the new diseases and
purifies the entire atmosphere at home. It is said
that in a house where this 'Mantra is regularly
recited daily for 216 times early in the morning
after bath no one dies accidently or prematurely in
the family.
This Mantra is to be recited rarly in the morning
after bath 216 times. Some sweet/fruit and water
must be kept before you. Jyoti with pure ghee
should also be lighted. After the prayers the
sweet/fruit should be taken by all the members of

for sometime will ultimately take only twelve
minutes a day and keep all the disease away from
