Mahamritunjaya Mantra: One that Revives from death
The Mahamrituanjaya mantra is very special. Chanting this mantra has helped people overcome incurable diseases and avoid early death. This mantra is devoted to Lord Shiva. When pleased with devotee, Lord Shiva protects one from accidents,terminal diseases and death. One is able to get over the malefic effects of planets. It is customary to chant the mantra 125 thousand times over a period to promote long life. The responsibility to chanting the mantra can be entrusted to a responsible Brahmin priest.
In the Padampuran there is a mention of the Mahamrituanjaya mantra as composed in hymn form by Maharishi Markanday.
In the Rig-Veda, 4/52/12 the mantra has been recorded as:
Om Trayambakam Yajaamahe Sugandhim Pushtivardhanam Urvaarukmiv Bandhanaan-mrityormuksheeya Maamritaat.
“I pray and seek the blessings of the three-eyed Lord Shiva. May I become free from the bondage of death just like a nourishing melon with your blessings, and not with the celestial nectar”.
This Mantra should be chanted 125 thousand times. After completion of the chanting twelve thousand five hundred times offer oblations in the holy fire with a mixture of Bel leaves, Kheir, Vat, Sesame seeds, mustard seeds, Kheer (sweet porridge of rice and milk), curd and grass blades. Ghee should be added to this mixture and oblations made with chanting the above Mantra. Then perform Abhishek one thousand two hundred fifty times for the patient for whose health this ritual is being done. Abhishek means sprinkling of water on someone each time chanting above Mantra. If there has been some accident or there is threat to life or any problem, pain or fear then one should chant the Mahamrityunjaya Mantra energised with the Mritsanjivini Vidya devised by Shukracharya. This is called Mritsanjeevani Mahamrityunjaya Mantra:
Om Hroum Om Joom Om Sah Om Bhooh Om Bhuvah Om Swah Om Trayambakam Yajaamahe Sugandhim Pushtivardhanam Urvaarukmiv Bandhanaan-mrityormuksheeya Maamritaat, Om Swah Om Bhuvah Om Bhooh Om Sah Om Joom Om Hroum Om.
It can sure avert death if chanted properly.
