The Maha Mrityunjaya mantra is a health, nourishing and rejuvenating mantra that bestows health, long life, peace, prosperity and contentment.

The mantra protects us against accidents, illness and misfortune.

It ignites a fire within us that consumes negativity and purifies our entire system (Shiva, the destroyer).

Feel the vibration in your body as you chant. Sanskrit is a vibrational language. The sounds/letters correspond to the chakras and the vibrations affect your body. In this case, the vibrations awaken our internal healing powers and attract nature’s healing forces leading to overall increased health and well-being.

The Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra is a prayer to Lord Shiva (part of the hindu trinity, the lord of destruction, penance and meditation) for help in overcoming "death". The seeker is more concerned with avoiding spiritual "death" rather than physical "death". The mantra is a request to Lord Shiva to lead us to the mountain of meditation, which is indeed Lord Shiva's abode. Legend has it that Lord Shiva appeared before his devotee Markandeya (who was destined to die at the age of sixteen) and stopped his aging process a few days before he was supposed to turn sixteen. Thus, death would never be able to claim him! Hence, this mantra is also referred to as the Markandeya mantra in classical hindu studies. The mantra should ideally be repeated 108 times, twice daily, at dawn and at dusk.
