    Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra(victory over Death)

    This mantra is also called as Maha moksha Mantra

    Om Tryambakam Yajamahe

    Sugandhim Pushthi Vardhanam

    UrvaRukamiva Bandhanat

    Mrytyor Muksheeya Mamritat ||

    The Mahamrityunjaya mantra was taught by Lord Shiva to Sukracharya the preceptor of the demons after he
    succeeded in the impossible test of hanging upside down from a tree for twenty years (Vimsottari dasa period)
    with smoke blowing into him from a fire lit beneath. Even Brihaspati was shocked at the prospect of such a terrible
    penance and calmly settled to observe Sukracharya accept the challenge of Indra and suc

    Understanding the mantra


    1)OM is not spelt out in the Rig-Veda, but has to be added to the beginning of all Mantras as given in an earlier Mantra of
    the Rig-Veda addressed to Ganapati.

    2)TRYAMBAKKAM refers to the Three eyes of Lord Shiva. 'Trya' means 'Three' and 'Ambakam' means eyes. These three
    eyes or sources of enlightenment are the Trimurti or three primary deities, namely Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva and the
    three 'AMBA' (also meaning Mother or Shakti' are Saraswati, Lakshmi and Gouri. Thus in this word, we are referring to
    God as Omniscient (Brahma), Omnipresent (Vishnu) and Omnipotent (Shiva). This is the wisdom of Brihaspati and is
    referred to as Sri Duttatreya having three heads of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva.

    3)YAJAMAHE means, "We sing Thy praise".

    4)SUGANDHIM refers to His fragrance (of knowledge, presence and strength i.e. three aspects) as being the best and
    always spreading around. Fragrance refers to the joy that we get on knowing, seeing or feeling His virtuous deeds.

    5)PUSTIVARDHANAM: Pooshan refers to Him as the sustainer of this world and in this manner, He is the Father (Pater)
    of all. Pooshan is also the inner impeller of all knowledge and is thus Savitur or the Sun and also symbolizes Brahma the
    Omniscient Creator. In this manner He is also the Father (Genitor) of all.

    6)URVAAROKAMEVA: 'URVA' means "VISHAL" or big and powerful or deadly. 'AAROOKAM' means 'Disease'. Thus
    URVAROOKA means deadly and overpowering diseases. (The CUCUMBER interpretation given in various places is also
    correct for the word URVAROOKAM). The diseases are also of three kinds caused by the influence (in the negative) of the
    three Guna's and are ignorance (Avidya etc), falsehood (Asat etc as even though Vishnu is everywhere, we fail to
    perceive Him and are guided by our sight and other senses) and weaknesses (Shadripu etc. a constraint of this physical
    body and Shiva is all powerful).

    7)BANDANAAN means bound down. Thus read with URVAROOKAMEVA, it means 'I am bound down by deadly and
    overpowering diseases'.

    8)MRITYORMOOKSHEYA means to deliver us from death (both premature death in this Physical world and from the
    neverending cycle of deaths due to re-birth) for the sake of Mokshya (Nirvana or final emancipation from re-birth).

    9)MAAMRITAAT means 'please give me some Amritam (life rejuvinating nectar). Read with the previous word, it means
    that we are praying for some 'Amrit' to get out of the death inflicting diseases as well as the cycle of re-birth.

    You are to chant this mantra 28 times daily morning and 28 times evening and once in a
    week you are to go to shiva temple and chant the mantra loudly or mentally 108 times
    and after that give money to the poor.
    This mantra is very powerfull and removes all the evil affects of the planet and bestows
    peace and prosperity, love and harmony, and abundance of health , wealth, happiness and
    joy to the person who chants regularly.
