The Mahamrityunjaya Mantra has been cited in
the ancient scripture, Rigveda as the panacea for all maladies. It is one of
the more potent of the ancient Sanskrit mantras. The recitation of this mantra
is believed to cure mental afflictions and sufferings as well as all fears are
surmounted. In particular, one is liberated from the fear of death.
The Mahamrtyunjaya Mantra invokes Lord Siva
and prays for liberation from ephemeral existence. Lord Shiva is one of the
three main aspects of God in the Hindu tradition: Lord Brahma, Lord Vishnu, and
Lord Shiva (your inner most self). This Holy Trinity is represented in
Christianity as God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
Chanting this mantra with sincere love and
devotion will begin to awaken within you, your true spiritual nature. It
creates a powerful protective shield of divine vibrations that wards off all
negativities and evil forces.
The Maha Mrityunjaya mantra is a life giving
mantra. It helps to wards off death and accidents of all kinds and therefore it
is recommended to be repeated before any travel or important projects. It has a great curative effect on diseases.
It is a Moksha-Mantra that bestows
liberation. It should be repeated 3, 9, 27 or 108 times, especially on your
birthday. 108 times chanting of Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra is equivalent to one
round of a mala. Maha Mrityunjaya mantra can have a tremendous effect in
stabilizing the mind in preparation for advance in meditation.
The Mantra can be chanted alone,
individually, but when chanted in group it is more powerful and the effect and
build-up of energy will be greater.
When chanted dynamically, at a fast speed,
the Maha mrityunjaya Mantra generates a very powerful energy, and is at its
most effective potency. One remains alert, stimulated and energized. However,
whichever speed you decide to adopt, remember that it should be constant from
beginning to end, creating a synchronized and melodious sound, to uplift the
mind and spirit.

Chanting the Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra will
aid in the spiritual opening of your third eye chakra, raise your level of
consciousness, and increase your capacity for spiritual understanding. Chant
with the sincere desire for freedom from the bonds of the material world, with
purity and devotion and you shall have it.
When you have finished chanting, sit for a
few minutes in the profound stillness and silence of the Himalayas, which lies
within your own self, becoming aware of the protective psychic energy field
which you have created around yourself with the chanting of the Maha
mrityunjaya Mantra.
Know that you will carry that protection
with you wherever you go until you chant again. Think of anyone whom you would
like to include within this field, someone sick or in need of help. Project the
energy out to them.
May the Maha mrityunjaya Mantra uplift your life and help you and all living beings overcome all the difficulties.
