Lord Shiva Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra 1008 times chanting
"Om Tryambakam Yajamahe Sugandhim Pushti Vardhanam Urvarukamiva Bandhanaan Mrityor Mukshiya Mamritaat" is known as the Mahamrityunjaya Mantra. It is one of the most powerful Vedic mantras and is dedicated to Lord Shiva, particularly in his aspect as Tryambaka, the three-eyed one. This mantra is often chanted for healing, longevity, and protection from untimely death. Here's what each part of the mantra means:
Om: The universal sound; the original vibration from which the entire universe emanates.
Tryambakam: Refers to the three eyes of Lord Shiva, representing the physical, spiritual, and psychological.
Yajamahe: We worship, adore, honor.
Sugandhim: The fragrant, the virtuous, the supreme being who is the source of all virtuous qualities.
Pushtivardhanam: The sustainer of prosperity and well-being; the one who nourishes and energizes.
Urvarukamiva: Like the cucumber (or melon or pumpkin); in the context of the mantra, it symbolizes the earthbound limitations of life.
Bandhanaan: From bondage, the state of being stuck or trapped.
Mrityor: From death.
Mukshiya: Liberate, free.
Maamritaat: From immortality; not literally seeking physical immortality but invoking Shiva’s presence as the transcendental reality beyond death.
Chanting this mantra is believed to be a spiritual practice for purifying one’s path from fear and doubt, leading towards liberation and enlightenment. It is particularly powerful for meditation, asking for Shiva's protection against any force that would lead to premature death. It has a deep spiritual significance and is also used during spiritual rituals to ensure health and longevity.
