Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra

Published on Jun 17, 2022

Mahamrityunjaya Mantra is also called as om Tryambakam mantra. In reality, Mahamrityunjaya Mantra is a Rig Vedic verse that is regarded as the most powerful Shiva Mantra. It grants immortality, protects against disasters, and prevents premature death. It also eliminates fears and promotes holistic healing.

If you speak the Mahamritunjay mantra every day, you will become immortal, and all your ailments will vanish. Long-Lived Markanda Rishi mentioned the nobility of the Mahamritunjay Mantra in his mythological storey. The storey of Sanat Rishi, who blessed the child with long life, was also reported. However, he later discovered that a child's life span is just ten years. Kala (the God of Time) moves at his own pace.

Penance for the Mantra

Penance for the Mantra

  • After the penance Lord Shiva taught the Mahamrityunjaya mantra to Sukracharya, who under very compelling circumstances had to teach this to the son of Brihaspati and that is how the devas also got the mantra. This mantra was given (sruti) to Vasistha Maharishi for the welfare of this world. The mantra and explanation given by Sukracharya to Rishi Dadhicha when the latter's body was cut and thrown by Raja Kshuva is recorded in the Shiva Purana.
