Mahamrityunjaya Mantra - Power to Overcome All OddsAstroyogi – Sun 26 Jul, 2015

Om Trayambakam Yajamahe,

Sugandhim Pushtivardhanam,

Urva Rukamiva Bandhanan,

Mrityor Mokshiye Maamritat

Shiva is the truth and he is Parameshwara (The Transcendent Lord). The followers of Shiva believe he is Swayambho (Self

Created). It is believed that Lord Shiva is easy to please and often grants boons to his devotees. Whether it concerns money,

finance, health or happiness, he will grant all your wishes and relieve you from your sufferings.

Now the question that arises is how to worship Shiva? In Satyug, idol worship was helpful but in Kalyug, just offering

prayers in front of an idol won’t suffice. Even the Bhavishya Puranas have mentioned about the significance of chanting

mantras for happiness and peace of mind. Similarly, chanting the mantra of Shiva – Mahamrityunjaya mantra daily will

bestow you with good health, wealth, prosperity and long life. It generates positive vibes and protects against calamities.

How to chant Mahamrityunjaya mantra

According to Shastras, the best time is early morning (2-4), but if you are unable to do it during this time then after taking a

bath and finishing the chores, you need to recite this mantra at least five times a mala.

Use a rudraksh mala while chanting the mantra as it is considered auspicious.

Rudraksh mala will help you keep a tab on the number of times you have recited the mantra. You need to remember that

your count cannot be less than the previous day.

At the time of jaap, you need to concentrate fully on the sound vibrations of the mantra and meditate on the mantra’s

meaning. Don’t allow your mind to wander or external factors to distract you.

It is ideal if there is Shiva’s idol, Shivling or Mahamrityunjaya yantra next to you while you are chanting the mantra.

If you leave non vegetarian food and chant the mantra, you will see the results soon.
