Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra

" Om Tryambakam Yajamahe Sugandhim Pushtivardhanam
Urvarukamiva Bandhanaat Mrityormuksheeya Maamritaat "



We worship the three-eyed One (Lord Siva) who is fragrant and who nourishes well all beings; may He liberate us from death for the sake of Immortality even as the cucumber is severed from its bondage (to the creeper).

This Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra is a life giving Mantra. In these days, when life is very complex and accidents are an every day affair, this Mantra wards off deaths by snake bite, lightening, motor vehicle accidents, fire accidents, cycle accidents, water accidents, air accidents and accidents of all descriptions. Besides, it has a great curative effect. Again, diseases pronounced incurable by doctors are cured by this Mantra when chanted with sincerity, faith, and devotion. It is a weapon against diseases. It is a Mantra to conquer death.

This Mantra is also a Moksha Mantra. It is Lord Siva’s Mantra. It bestows long life (Deerga Ayush), peace (Santi), wealth (Aisvarya), prosperity (Pushti), satisfaction (Tushti), and Immortality (Moksha).

Jai Sai Ram.

Siva gives moksha purushaartha. Many people are afraid of moksha because moksha means freedom. We want to hold on to our near and dear ones because of strong attachment. So we must pray to Lord Siva to make us a ripe fruit so that we can get detached from Worldly attachments. We must grow like the 'vellaripazham' fruit (cucumber). This fruit grows on a creeper and being heavy, grows on the ground itself. When it becomes ripe, it detaches itself from the creeper; rather the creeper comes off. The difference between a vellaripazham fruit and an ordinary fruit is the latter, upon becoming ripe, seperates itself from the tree by falling to the ground whereas in the case of the former, the creeper falls off the fruit. The creeper represents family and other worldly attachments and we are akin to the fruit. As we progress spiritually, worldly attachments will drop off on their own. There is no need for us to ask 'When will they drop off'? Thus we see that the Mrithyunjaya mantra gives all the four purushaartas of the dharma, artha, kama and moksha.

"I worship the three-eyed, fragrant nourisher (Siva). May I be freed from mortality like the cucumber from the creeper. May I not go away from immortality."

Om Sai Ram.
