Mahamrityunjaya Puja (Mantra
Chanting) is the propitiation of Lord
Shiva because Shiva is thought to represent
the truth and death is the ultimate truth, which
is ruled by Lord Shiva. Mahamrityunjaya
mantra anushthana (japa) is performed when
someone is running markesh, a planetary period invested
with powers to inflict physical harm, or when someone’s
health is causing serious problems or when some
major operation is to be performed.
Mahamrityunjaya mantra chanting is also a form of
propitiating Lord Shiva so that the person may be
released from the bondage of death and nourished
with nectar bestowing a fresh lease of life.
If this mantra is chanted for 1,25000 times or its
half 62,500 with complete devotion and faith then
a person can even return from the jaws of death.
Dashmansh, one tenth additional Mahamrityunjaya
mantra chanting is also essential afterwards.
The Maha Mrityunjay is a mantra that
is said to rejuvenate, bestow health, wealth, a
long life, peace, propsperity and contentment. The
Mantra is a centuries old technique of connecting
one to pure consciousness and bliss.
Mahamritunjay Mantra
"Om Hom
Joom Sah Om Bhur Bhuvah Svah
Om Trayambakam Yajamahe Sugandhim Pushtivardhanam
Urvarukvamiva Bandhanan Mrityormukshiya Maa Mritat
Om Bhur Bhuvah Svah Om Sah Joom Hom Om"
The prayer is addressed to LORD SHIVA. By chanting
this Mantra, Divine vibrations are generated which
ward off all the negative and evil forces and create
a powerful protective shield. And it is said to
protect the one who chants against accidents and
misfortunes of every kind. It is a vibration that
pulsates through every cell, every molecule of our
body and tears away the veil of ignorance. It ignites
a fire within us that consumes all our negativity
and purifies our entire system. It is also said
to have a powerful healing of diseases declared
uncurable even by the doctors. It is a Mantra to
conquer death and connects us to our own inner divinity.
Known as the Moksha Mantra of Lord Shiva, Maha Mrityunjay
evokes the Shiva within and removes the fear of
death, liberating one from the cycle of death and
rebirth.

Shiva is
the experiencer and the highest object of experience.
Shiva is the goal of Sadhana. There is nothing apart
from Shiva. There is nothing other than Shiva.
Whatever there is, is Shiva. There is nothing, which
is not Shiva. There is no place, which is not Shiva.
There is no time, which is not Shiva. To be aware
of this is to be aware of Shiva.
When
to chant :
Chanting
the Maha Mrityunjay Mantra with sincerity, faith and
devotion in Bramha Muhurata is very beneficial. But
one can also chant it anytime in a pure environment
with great benefit and discover the happiness that's
already within.
