Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra

 

 Hi everyone,

I will share something regarded as very important for people who meditate, with my experience spanning more than 16 years now, i feel well connected to this world and its eternal space...

Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra is a Mantra that was always kept a secret by the learned of the past.
I was just not aware about this mantra until 2003,  Ms.Aastha Bhai Chibber, a friend of those times and younger to me  in one of our conversation shared about this Mantra she got to know from astrologers to recite, i had always read about it in reference to Shiva Purana. but with the reference to all life virtues.

Today its a long enough that i can actually share my own experience for the same,
its a wonderful Mantra, keeps all types of diseases and other disturbances away from ones life.

The best time according to me to recite this Mantra is morning 03:00hrs to 05:00hrs, or if time is a problem then it should either be recited during the offset of both Sunset and Sunrise.
Do share your experiences after the same.

 ॐ त्र्यम्बकम् यजामहे सुगन्धिम् पुष्टिवर्धनम् । 
उर्वारुकमिव बन्धनान् मृत्योर्मुक्षीय माम्रतात् ।।
 
Om tryambakaṃ  yajāmahe sugandhiṃ pushtivardhanam 
urvārukam iva bandhanān mrityormukṣīya māmṛtāt


Word to Word meaning of the Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra:-

• ॐ aum = is a sacred/mystical syllable in Sanatan Dharma or Indian religions, i.e. Hinduism, Jainism, and Buddhism,
• त्र्यम्बकम् tryambakam = the three-eyed one (accusative case),
• यजामहे yajāmahe = We worship, adore, honour, revere,
• सुगन्धिम् sugandhim = sweet smelling, fragrant (accusative case),
• पुष्टि puṣhṭi = A well-nourished condition, thriving, prosperous, fullness of life,
• वर्धनम् vardhanam = One who nourishes, strengthens, causes to increase (in health, wealth, well-being); who gladdens, exhilarates, and restores health; a good gardener,
• उर्वारुकमिव urvārukam iva = like the pumpkin (in the accusative case),                                                                                                                            

                                Note:- urvārukam: 'urva' means "vishal" or big and powerful or deadly. 'arukam' means 'disease'. Thus urvārukam means deadly and overpowering diseases. (The pumpkin interpretation given in various places is also correct for the word urvārukam, but not apt for this mantra). The diseases are also of three kinds caused by the influence (in the negative) of the three guṇas and are ignorance (avidyā), falsehood (asat, as even though Vishnu is everywhere, we fail to perceive Him and are guided by our sight and other senses) and weaknesses (ṣaḍripu, a constraint of this physical body and Shiva is all powerful).

• बन्धनान् bandhanān = "from captivity" {i.e. from the stem of the cucumber} (of the gourd); (the ending is actually long a then -d which changes to n/anusvara because of sandhi)

Note:- bandhanān: means bound down. Thus read with urvārukam iva, it means 'I am bound down just as by deadly and overpowering diseases'.

• मृत्योर्मुक्षीय mrityor mukshīya = Free, liberate From death
• माम्रतात् mā amritāt = (give) me immortality, emancipationy

 Happy Meditation
