Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra - Chant it



OM. Tryambakam yajamahe
Sugandhim pushti-vardhanam
Urvarukamiva bandhanan
Mrityor mukshiya mamritat



OM. We worship and adore you, O three-eyed one, O Shiva. You are sweet gladness, the fragrance of life, who nourishes us, restores our health, and causes us to thrive. As, in due time, the stem of the cucumber weakens, and the gourd if freed from the vine, so free us from attachment and death, and do not withhold immortality.

The great mantra dedicated to Shiva as Mrityunjaya is found in the Rig Veda. It is called the Maha Mrityunjaya mantra, the Great Death-Conquering mantra. It is a mantra that has many names and forms. It is called the Rudra mantra, referring to the furious aspect of Shiva; the Tryambakam mantra, alluding to Shiva's three eyes; and its is sometimes known as the Mrita-Sanjivini mantra because it is a component of the "life-restoring" practice given to the primordial sage Shukra after he had completed an exhausting period of austerity. The Maha Mrityunjaya mantra is hailed by the sages as the heart of the Veda. Along with the Gayatri mantra it holds the highest place among the many mantras used for contemplation and meditation.

    LESSONS FROM GOD - Sai Baba & ascending to Heaven 2


    On my recent trip to Nairobi, a family asked if we could ask God
    to allow the suffering of their 82 year old Mother to be forgiven.
    She was in a coma for quite some time and depended on Life support machines.
    The family was willing to dissolve their attachments to Mother with love.
    We chanted the Maha Mahamrityunjaya mantra which is a powerful mantra
    to allow a holy intervention from God. We spoke to Mother in deep
    meditation, and she said she wanted to pass over, and was willing
    to dissolve all her attachments to the material life, which were holding
    her Tethered to
    We prayed for all her family
    and worldy attachments to be dissolved.
    Sai Baba appeared with Mom and took us to Lord Shiva's Holy abode
    Mount Kailash

    We
    I sat with Lord Shiva said the families prayers have been accepted, for
    ascension of Mother, Sai Baba took her to Heaven 2 days later.
