Guest guest Report post Posted June 4, 2005 Maha Mrityunjaya mantra For the living, death is certain and for the dead, birth is certain. Since death is definite for all embodied beings, the bhagavad gita enjoins the seeker to aspire for that state of attainment, after which there is no return or rebirth. This will mean an immortal state because while birth leads eventually to death, the unborn does not die. Among the paths leading to the deathless state, krishna discusses jnana -yoga, the path of contemplation, and karmayoga , the path of action. All actions, he says, finally culminate in knowledge. For the common man, whose senses and desires are rooted in this world and who craves desired results, the shrutis - the vedas and the upanishads - prescribe various types of yajnas . Among the yajnas , the Maharudrabhisheka is accorded high status. This brings us to the Mahamrityunjaya mantra , the instrument that unfailingly conquers death: om Triyambakam Yaja-mahe Sugandhim Pushti Vardhanam Urvarukam Iva Bandhnat Mrityor Mukhshiya Ma Amrutat - We propitiate the god of three eyes ( surya, chandra and Vahni or fire), whose grace and compassion waft afar as perfume and who nourishes by increasing the yield of food grains and wealth. We pray to shiva to free us from death (from the birth-death cycle) as a ripe fruit is separated from the plant, but, not to detach us from immortality. mrityunjaya is amongst the many names of lord shiva. rudra shiva is known as the destroyer of the universe at the time of pralaya - final internalisation of the created universe into its source which is brahman. Because of this role of shiva, he is also called mahakal and, as one of the twelve Jyotirlingas , is present in ujjain as Mahakaleshwara . Superficially, worshipping the destroyer as the means of attaining immortality appears to be contradictory. However, shiva as rudra is one of a conglomerate of Ekadesh Rudras and krishna in the gita identifies himself with Shankar (shiva) among the Rudras. At the time of creation the formless, attributeless, infinite brahman through the interpolation of his own maya assumes three forms subservient to the three Prakratic gunas or modes: brahma the creator ( rajas ), vishnu the Preserver ( satvas ) and Mahesh the destroyer ( tamas ). These three manifestations of brahman , the trimurti , act according to their gunas (modes) and brahman subsumes them, but being infinite it is not confined within this triad. Encompassing this trinity, brahman extends far beyond that and remains unknowable by mind or speech. This is why shruti refers to it as tat and subtracts all identifiable and knowable entities in the universe as neti, neti (not this, not this) and sticks to tat which is only visible to and experienced by a jivanmukta (self- realised soul). tat is found in the vedic mahavakya tat tvam asi - that thou art, in the guru Stotra as tat padam darishitam yene - guru through whom the tat state was exposed to enlighten the shishya and to which the gita directs the seeker (ch 15): Tatah padam tat parimargitayam . lord shiva is addressed to in these terms in the gayatri mantra : om tat purushaya vidmahe maha-devaya dhimahi tanno rudrah prachodayat - that tat Purush we hold in our hearts, we meditate on Mahadev , may rudra propel our intellects to Him. shiva is therefore propitiated as the infinite and all-encompassing brahman - tat - wherein all merge ultimately and attain immortality. That is why lord shiva is worshipped as mrityunjaya whose grace guides the seeker to immortality. Just as the gayatri mantra pays obeisance to the sun, the mahamritunjaya seeks shiva's blessings to achieve immortality. There are many mantra for warding off evils like death and other suffering given in the sacred literature of the Hindu's. These mantra are of various types but the Mrityunjaya mantra has been extolled in sacred literature as being the best. This mantra is addressed to Lord Shiva and is taught in the Rig Veda (7 mandala 59 Chapter) as well as the Yajur Veda (3-60) showing that it is a Sruti having been received by Maharishi Vasistha, the Kula Guru of Bhagavan Sri Ramachandra. This Maha-mrityunjaya mantra is from the Rig-Veda (7th Book or Mandala, 59 Chapter) and needs initiation for attaining siddhi. Anybody can recite this mantra and attain good health, release from bondage and other problems. This is the greatest panace for all evils and can be recited at any time like any other Maha-mantra. The preparatory rites should be learnt from any book on Karma-kanda (pooja method). However we give the simplest method of reciting this mantra to overcome the greatest of evils. Nyasa is the method of protecting the self by placing the parts of the mantra on five body parts. These body parts are the crucial centers for the spiritual energy. • Rishi (Guru/teacher of the mantra) - siras (head). In this case the Rishi is Maharishi Vasistha. • Channdah (meter, which is technically very specific for each mantra) - mukha (mouth). This vedic mantra is in Anusthub channdah. This is a meter having four pada (feet) of 8 phonemes each making the entire Anusthub metre as composed of 32 (8 x 4 = 32) syllables. It maybe noted that any change in the metre shall cause a distortion in the channdah and the mantra vibration shall be ruined. • Devata (the deity of the mantra) - hridaya (heart). In this case the devata is Lord Shiva addressed as "Sri Mrityunjaya Tryambakeswara devata", the Jyotirlinga. • Bija (the seed syllable that created the mantra and contains the mantra within itself, like the seed that creates the tree) - Linga (sexual organ). There are some opinion on this, but the most appropriate one is given by Kahola Rishi as "haum". • Shakti (the physical power of the mantra like the mother) - pada (feet). It is the giver of gati or direction. In this case the shakti is Devi Amriteswari, addressed as 'hrim'. Sukracharya's Penance & teaching Jyotish teaching The Mahamrityunjaya mantra was taught by Lord Shiva to Sukracharya the preceptor of the demons after he succeeded in the impossible test of hanging upside down from a tree for twenty years (Vimsottari dasa period) with smoke blowing into him from a fire lit beneath. Even Brihaspati was shocked at the prospect of such a terrible penance and calmly settled to observe Sukracharya accept the challenge of Indra and succeed. Tapaswi Yoga definition: Since Sukracharya (Venus in astrology) passed the penance he was glorified as the Tapaswi Raja (the king of the spiritual discipline and penance). The definition of Tapaswi Yoga comes from this penance as Saturn (punishment, hard toil), Ketu (smoke blown into the nose and other forms of self inflicted torture) and Venus (desire and its renunciation) must come together to define the personal ability of the Tapaswi. 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. Sukracharya said "O! Dadhicha, I pray to Lord Shiva and give you the upadesa (advise/wisdom/teaching) of the highest Maha Mrityunjaya mantra." The mantra is in Anusthub Channdah and accordingly, is divided into four padas composed of eight syllables each. Sukracharya said "The first pada is and means - we worship or sing the praise of Lord Trayambaka. Tryambaka is the name of Lord Shiva as the father of the three worlds - bhu, bhuva and svarga lokas. He is the father and lord of the three mandala's - Surya, Soma and Agni mandala. He is Maheswara, the lord of the three Guna's - Satva, Rajas and Tamas. He is the Sadashiva, the teacher of the three tatvas - Atma tatva, Vidya tatva and Shiva tatva. He is the father (cause and source) of the three energies (agni) - Aavahaniya, Garhapatya and Dakshinagni. He is the father of all physical creation through the three murti bhuta - Prithvi (solid), Jala (liquid) and Tejas or agni (energy). He is the lord of the three heavens created by the dominance of the three Gunas - Rajas (Brahma), Satva (Vishnu) and Tamas (Shiva). Know Him to be the nirakara (formless) Sadashiva as He is above this physical mode and is their Maheswara. This is the first foot of the mantra (composed of eight syllables)." "The second pada of the mantra," continued Sukracharya, "is . Sugandhim refers to the fragrance of the flower that spreads in all directions, and in a similar way Shiva is present in the entire creation, both animate and inanimate. In all the bhutas (modes of existence), in the three Gunas (nature of creation as being Satva, Rajas or Tamas), in the ten indriyas (five gyana-indriyas or senses and five karma-indriyas or organs of action), in all the devas (33 devas are the source of all illumination and enlightenment) and the ganas (hosts of demi-gods), Shiva exists and pervades as the illumine atma (soul) and is their essence. Pustivardhanam is now being explained. That inward dwelling spirit (atman), the Purusha Shiva is the real sustainer of Prakriti (and not vice-versa as all people perceive). Starting with the mahatatva (primordial state of matter/energy) to the individual parts of creation, the entire sustenance of the physically created beings (both animate and inanimate) is done by the imperishable Purusha. You, I, Brahma, Vishnu, the Munis and even Indra & devas are maintained/sustained (by the atma and that is Him). Since the Purusha (atma - Shiva) is the granter of sustenance to prakriti (body/nature), he is 'Pusti- vardhana'." Having explained the first two pada of the mantra, Sukracharya continued to explain the remaining two pada. He said " the next two pada (consisting of sixteen syllables) is meaning - Prabhu! just as the ripe cucumber is severed from the bondage of the creeper, in the same manner may we be delivered from death for the sake of immortality (moksha). Rudra deva is like amrita (nectar of immortality). Those who worship Him with good karma, penance and repentance, meditation, contemplation, prayer or praise, will surely renewed life and vigor. The strength of truth force (in this mantra) is such that Lord Shiva shall definitely free the worshipper from the bondage of death because Shiva alone is the giver of bondage and moksha. This is the Mritasanjivani mantra and has the power to give back life and rescue from death and great evils. You should adore Lord Shiva and recite this mantra. Water sanctified with this mantra should be drunk all the time. [Authors note: It is well known that the rudraksha bead is placed in a glass of water after being held in the palm during the recitation of the mantra. this water is drunk during the day.] Oblations in the sacrificial fire with this mantra is very purifying. Now I shall teach the dhyana for the mantra." Saying so, Sukracharya started reciting the shlokas for meditating on Lord Shiva. Maha Mrityunjaya mantra (a.k.a Mrita sanjivani mantra) Dhyana The dhyana taught by Sukracharya (Shiva Purana) is given below. There are other dhyana given in other texts and these are being quoted to the extent necessary for education. Translation: We praise (meditate/remember) on the eight armed, three eyed (Sun, Moon & Agni as the right, left and third eye respectively) Lord Mrityunjaya. He sits cross legged on a lotus (padmasana). He holds two Kumbha (water vessels) with two lower arms and uses two upper arms to sprinkle water on His own head. Two other lower arms hold the auspicious Kalash (pot containing water from five rivers etc) on the center of the legs. The remaining two hands are with Rudraksha and Mriga mudra (yogic postures). The amrita (nectar) dripping from the crescent moon on His head has made His whole body wet. The daughter of the mountain king (Himavat ~ Himalaya) sits next to Him. Another dhyana Number of repetitions Based on the teachings of Sri Harihara in Prasna Marga, we advise that this mantra should be recited for 8000 times in a period of forty days. The recitation of 108 mantra for forty days both in the morning and evening covers this requirement. For other purposes larger number of repetitions are advised. After lighting a lamp and sitting in any yogic posture (preferably Padmasana which is the picture of Lord Shiva in the picture) while facing east. Recite the Maha-mantra 108 times (one rosary) or its multiples in each sitting. This is the greatest work of Maharishi Vashistha. Before commencing the Mahamrityunjaya mantra recite the mantra to the everlasting spirit of the Maharishi Vasistha for his blessings and guidance. Thereafter, perform Rudrabhishek (Ritual offering of the Panca- Amrita or the five forms of nectar as Honey, Ghee, Curd, Milk and Water) on the Shivalinga. Understanding the Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra • It is important to understand the meaning of the words as this makes the repetition meaningful and brings forth the results. • OM is not spelt out in the Rig-Veda, but has to be added to the beginning of all Mantras as given in an earlier Mantra of the Rig-Veda addressed to Ganapati. This Mantra is given in the prayer Book "Maharishi Jaimini's Upadesa Sutra" • TRYAMBAKKAM refers to the Three eyes of Lord Shiva. 'Trya' means 'Three' and 'Ambakam' means eyes. These three eyes or sources of enlightenment are the Trimurti or three primary deities, namely Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva and the three 'AMBA' (also meaning Mother or Shakti' are Saraswati, Lakshmi and Gouri. Thus in this word, we are referring to God as Omniscient (Brahma), Omnipresent (Vishnu) and Omnipotent (Shiva). This is the wisdom of Brihaspati and is referred to as Sri Duttatreya having three heads of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. • YAJAMAHE means, "We sing Thy praise". • SUGANDHIM refers to His fragrance (of knowledge, presence and strength i.e. three aspects) as being the best and always spreading around. Fragrance refers to the joy that we get on knowing, seeing or feeling His virtuous deeds. • PUSTIVARDHANAM: Pooshan refers to Him as the sustainer of this world and in this manner, He is the Father (Pater) of all. Pooshan is also the inner impeller of all knowledge and is thus Savitur or the Sun and also symbolizes Brahma the Omniscient Creator. In this manner He is also the Father (Genitor) of all. • URVAAROKAMEVA: 'URVA' means "VISHAL" or big and powerful or deadly. 'AAROOKAM' means 'Disease'. Thus URVAROOKA means deadly and overpowering diseases. (The CUCUMBER interpretation given in various places is also correct for the word URVAROOKAM). The diseases are also of three kinds caused by the influence (in the negative) of the three Guna's and are ignorance (Avidya etc), falsehood (Asat etc as even though Vishnu is everywhere, we fail to perceive Him and are guided by our sight and other senses) and weaknesses (Shadripu etc. a constraint of this physical body and Shiva is all powerful). • BANDANAAN means bound down. Thus read with URVAROOKAMEVA, it means 'I am bound down by deadly and overpowering diseases'. • MRITYORMOOKSHEYA means to deliver us from death (both premature death in this Physical world and from the neverending cycle of deaths due to re-birth) for the sake of Mokshya (Nirvana or final emancipation from re-birth). • MAAMRITAAT means 'please give me some Amritam (life rejuvinating nectar). Read with the previous word, it means that we are praying for some 'Amrit' to get out of the death inflicting diseases as well as the cycle of re-birth. May all recite this mantra and get the blessings of lord. Yours George Pillai Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted December 26, 2005 Namaste Allow me to share a bit of what I have learnt. To the best of my knowledge, this mantra is a samputika form and should not be chanted by everyone and especially without proper initiation. Samputika mantras are even more significant in this respect. Further, there are specific vidhis (rules) to be observed. Mantra sastra is very clear on this. No mantra will work without initiation from a Guru- a realised soul. I am aware that there are some books which have published this and other mantras with scant regard for secrecy that should be observed as per sastras. I have come across more variations but all these mantras are to be used for specific purposes strictly with proper initiation and only when necessary. It is very heartening to note that you have some good experiences with the mantra. You are blessed. However, all mantras *will not* suit everybody. A learned person gave me a mantra focussed on a jyotirlinga and the end result was it affected my health. Only later it dawned on me and another learned person advised me and taught me the reasons why it did not suit me. Ofcourse, I can understand why the mantra gave you such vibrations at Tryambakeswara. You may be well-versed in this subject yet, I felt I should share this on the list to *prevent* those who are not aware of these facts and to direct them to a signpost "CAUTION: DO NOT CHANT ANY MANTRA WITHOUT SANCTION FROM A GURU-A REALISED SOUL".

Guest guest Report post Posted December 26, 2005 not essentially........it is given in the rudra-yamala that the maha mrityunjaya mantra does not require any purity........ Any one can chant it. It is a gift by god to mankind ..........it need not be initiated by a guru........U read the first chapter of the rudra -yamala uttar-khanda.....and youll come to know about it..... Yes the gayatri mantra needs purity and takes a jap of 10,000 times to get the siddhi. if u believe in the rudra.....then read the rudra-yamala which is about mantra and tantra. regards, kanishk R.

Guest guest Report post Posted December 26, 2005 dear shiv bhakts om namo bhagawate rudraya let me have my last word on the confusion regarding these mantras. any mantra invoking god can be recited even without a guru's upadesh. however receiving or hearing the mantra from an elderly or learnt person (guru) is beneficial for the native as he/she listens and assimilate the correct pronounciation. there are some vashikaran, mohan, akarshan, sthambha, vidveshan, uchhatan, maran mantras which shall not be used at all as they have negative boomeranging affect. even a guru has no right to give these mantras to his shishyas unless those help the society at large or root out the evil. they are generally given/used only to the king (lord of the land) to protect the people in their kingdom. these days so many books went public with publishing all these secret mantras which is bad. what kanishkji mentioned is the correct MRITYUNJAYA MANTRA (prefixing Om to what pillaiji mentioned). it would give result only after recital of one lakh times continuously. what phadkeji mentioned is the correct MAHA MRITYUNJAYA MANTRA. it would give result only after recital of one lakh twenty thousand times continuously. there are three laghu (simple) mrityunjaya mantras: 1. om joom sah 2. om haum joom sah 3. om joom sah maam palaya palaya the above mantras give siddhi after recital of them continuously as follows: 1. three lakh times 2. four lakh times 3. one lakh twenty five thousand times however, some learnt elders (gurus) say that due to dharma running on one pillar in kaliyuga compared to four in satyayuga, the number of mantra recital should be three times more than what is prescribed above. besides the above, the biggest mrityunjaya mantra christened MRITA SANJIVINI VIDYA is there but is forbidden to pass this to public. Using this mantra sage sukracharya (guru of rakshasas) brought back to life several dead rakshasas. if a person is on the death bed or suffering from chronic disease and doctors have declared no chance, then if we do abhishekam with buttermilk (chaaj) while reciting this mantra, the person would regain his lost health soonest. i have done this for the benefit of few people in delhi where i live. however, immediately after this, the shivling shall be cleaned with water and then with pure gangajal and then proper rudrabhishekam with cow milk shall also be done. in praise of lord shiva and with best wishes arjun pandit moderator , kc3377 <kc3377> wrote: > > not essentially........it is given in the rudra-yamala that the maha > mrityunjaya mantra does not require any purity........ > Any one can chant it.

Guest guest Report post Posted December 26, 2005 Namaste Arjun ji you are right on all that you have said except one issue::"..any mantra invoking god can be recited without a guru's upadesh". Only prasiddah mantras are allowed that way. The Mrityunjaya mantra is fine, except that the samputika form with the vyahrtis given by Sri Kanishk is to be received from a Guru for results. Quoting Rudra yamala is fine. But the same Rudra Yamala also elaborates on importance of Guru and initiation. We are not talking about any "purity" here. And, what purity are you referring to? External or internal? I was talking about Guru and initiation. Please give me the specific sloka (preferably in Sanskrit) or its reference which says one can chant the mantra without initiation. Let me also look it up and try to understand. If Sri Kanishk feels that one can chant mantras from books, then I shall not comment further. Kanishk ji I don't understand what Gayatri you are referring to!! And can you give me a reference to attaining siddhi with a chant of 10,000 times? I would like to know. I have discussed this issue with the Sankaracharya at Kanchi and also recently with the Sankaracharya at Sringeri. From what little I have understood from them, it appears that the count should be much higher than 10,000. And the level required for internal purification and enlightenment would vary according to one's own karma. I was only suggesting that one should approach samputika mantras with caution preferably on a Guru's advice or initiation. I was not offering my personal opinion anyway. Best wishes R.

Guest guest Report post Posted December 26, 2005 Arjun Pandit ji. First of all I thank you for all your information. Just one question though...... Does one have to do the Mantra recitation continuously for the prescribed numbers in one sitting or can one do it regularly once or twice a day in equal numbers till completed? Thank you in advance. With kind regards Anand [] On Behalf Of panditarjun2004 26 December 2005 16:40 Re: Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra dear shiv bhakts om namo bhagawate rudraya let me have my last word on the confusion regarding these mantras. any mantra invoking god can be recited even without a guru's upadesh. however receiving or hearing the mantra from an elderly or learnt person (guru) is beneficial for the native as he/she listens and assimilate the correct pronounciation. there are some vashikaran, mohan, akarshan, sthambha, vidveshan, uchhatan, maran mantras which shall not be used at all as they have negative boomeranging affect. even a guru has no right to give these mantras to his shishyas unless those help the society at large or root out the evil. they are generally given/used only to the king (lord of the land) to protect the people in their kingdom. these days so many books went public with publishing all these secret mantras which is bad. what kanishkji mentioned is the correct MRITYUNJAYA MANTRA (prefixing Om to what pillaiji mentioned). it would give result only after recital of one lakh times continuously. what phadkeji mentioned is the correct MAHA MRITYUNJAYA MANTRA. it would give result only after recital of one lakh twenty thousand times continuously. there are three laghu (simple) mrityunjaya mantras: 1. om joom sah 2. om haum joom sah 3. om joom sah maam palaya palaya the above mantras give siddhi after recital of them continuously as follows: 1. three lakh times 2. four lakh times 3. one lakh twenty five thousand times however, some learnt elders (gurus) say that due to dharma running on one pillar in kaliyuga compared to four in satyayuga, the number of mantra recital should be three times more than what is prescribed above. besides the above, the biggest mrityunjaya mantra christened MRITA SANJIVINI VIDYA is there but is forbidden to pass this to public. Using this mantra sage sukracharya (guru of rakshasas) brought back to life several dead rakshasas. if a person is on the death bed or suffering from chronic disease and doctors have declared no chance, then if we do abhishekam with buttermilk (chaaj) while reciting this mantra, the person would regain his lost health soonest. i have done this for the benefit of few people in delhi where i live. however, immediately after this, the shivling shall be cleaned with water and then with pure gangajal and then proper rudrabhishekam with cow milk shall also be done. in praise of lord shiva and with best wishes arjun pandit moderator , kc3377 <kc3377> wrote: > > not essentially........it is given in the rudra-yamala that the maha > mrityunjaya mantra does not require any purity........ > Any one can chant it.

Guest guest Report post Posted December 26, 2005 namaste rangan ji om namo bhagawate rudraya there is no written rule as such. however, with the communication (IT) revolution everything is available on the net freely for billions of people, whether we like it or not. in the changed world scenario and the new world order, each person has the freedom to do as he or she feels like. similar is an individual's recital of a particular mantra. if the mantra is not pronounced correctly, it would not give results. so it is advised to receive such mantras from any elderly learnt person who can do the role of guru for upadesa of a mantra. unfortunately the modern gurus bless only those disciples who donate liberally for their ashrams and these gurus even visit their donors homes stuffed with black money and bless the premises as well. so gurus have become a costly affair and not affordable by all. several gurus have started preaching their disciples to worship guru only and not god and in the process the disciples have started garladning the guru photos, parading the photo all over the city roads with huge cutouts and garlands. in doing so, all these people would end up attaining GURU REALISATION and they never attain either self realisation or god realisation. in this backdrop, if a person recites a mantra on his or her own, it is no sin. if it is pronounced correctly he would get results, otherwise no. in praise of lord shiva and with best wishes arjun , "R.

Guest guest Report post Posted December 28, 2005 Great explanation, Also we should not be daunted by the count, we should say as many as we can in a day comfortably, not forcing ourselves, even 3 a day is fine, as mantras add up cumilatively it will help in the long run. Intention is very important when we chant mantras, we can intend our healing or healing of others. if we focus too much on the count our focus and intention will be weakend. When we chant mantras we invoke the respective god to help us, The respective god will not say "well you have to repeat the mantra XXXXXX times before you get the benefit", the God will look at our intention and bhakti before granting our wish. Maha Mrutunjay mantra is very powerful mantra for our healing and well being, we shlould start chanting it atleast once daily for our and our ancestors benefit.

Guest guest Report post Posted December 28, 2005 What are the mantras we can say safely, if we have not been initiated by a guru, Thx and regards Roopa Jayarao On 12/26/05, R. Kasthuri Rangan <rkrangan > wrote: NamasteAllow me to share a bit of what I have learnt. To the best of my knowledge, this mantra is a samputika form and should not be chanted by everyone and especially without proper initiation. Samputika mantras are even more significant in this respect. Further, there are specific vidhis (rules) to be observed. Mantra sastra is very clear on this. No mantra will work without initiation from a Guru- a realised soul.I am aware that there are some books which have published this and other mantras with scant regard for secrecy that should be observed as per sastras. I have come across more variations but all these mantras are to be used for specific purposes strictly with proper initiation and only when necessary.It is very heartening to note that you have some good experiences with the mantra. You are blessed. However, all mantras *will not* suit everybody. A learned person gave me a mantra focussed on a jyotirlinga and the end result was it affected my health. Only later it dawned on me and another learned person advised me and taught me the reasons why it did not suit me. Ofcourse, I can understand why the mantra gave you such vibrations at Tryambakeswara.You may be well-versed in this subject yet, I felt I should share this on the list to *prevent* those who are not aware of these facts and to direct them to a signpost "CAUTION: DO NOT CHANT ANY MANTRA WITHOUT SANCTION FROM A GURU-A REALISED SOUL".Om Namah Shivaaya Best wishesR.

Satsangi 0 Report post Posted June 24, 2008 Om Namah Shivaya, While reciting the Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra, the highest seekers pray to liberate their jeevas from the worst disease which is the cycles of life and death and to grant them Moksha (immortality). This requires devotion and faith; although initiation by a God realised Guru can be instrumental. Though widely used to gain cure for physical diseases or other physical benefits, the above is the ultimate strength and purpose of the Mantra- MOKSHA.

Sapnarani 0 Report post Posted August 28, 2008 Dear Pt Arjun Ji and others This was really an opening discussion on Mrityunajay and Mahaa Mrityunjaya Mantra. Some questions still remain in the mind. As Arjun Ji said - There are many web sites full of information, he is right, but many times they give contradictory information, so the reader gets confused as what to agree with and what not to. It is more beneficial for the reader if he gets the information from a reputable knowledgeable genuine person. And I think Pt Arjun Ji is such a person. He also said rightly that now a days it is difficult to find a real Guru, so we have to rely on somebody else who is knowledgeable in this field. May I request Pt Arjun Ji to enlighten us on some basic rules to do Mantra Jaap, one should follow? --Like how many number of Mantra can give one Siddhi? --Should one do it regularly or if one can skip once or twice, it does not matter. I have heard that for Siddhi one should do certain fixed number Mantra in a fixed period of time, such as 40 days or so, is it correct? Should it be followed if one wants to achieve Siddhi? --What kind of purity one should observe while doing this kind of Jaap? I mean for Siddhi? --But if i is regular affair, like reciting 108 times per day, should one follow the same rules of purity? or the day the purity is broken, one should not recite that Mantra? Like this kind of information ... With regards Sapnarani Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hindustani 1 Report post Posted August 28, 2008 This mahamantra belongs to Bholenath who in real has nothing for him but gives everything to those who worship him hence better in the begining don't think of siddhi and start reciting mantra,Bholebaba is so simple and kind towards devotees that regular chant of this mahamantra will diffinately give results,keep faith and don't look beyond our limits i.e Siddhi,just start chanting mantra first.

bhairo 0 Report post Posted September 6, 2008 lord shiva is the guru of this world when you have not taking guru diksha he is your guru. i think if you love him as a father and as a guru. you could say the mantras and still be successfull but make sure and pray to shiva as ur guru before u start to chant.
