Mahamritjunjaya Sadhana

[Guest guest]

Namaste Narasimhaye,

 

Thanks for the reply. I have noted the mantra for maharishi Vashitha and I shall now say this before each recitation of the Mahamritujaya.

 

I shall now say the version of the Mahamritunjaya which you deem to be powerful. The thing is I have already started saying the other version of mantra for the last two weeks.....is it wise to change it now?.....or should I start a new 40/45/90 day sadhana with your version? The only variations I can see in my mantra and the one you suggest is that in my one their seems to be more "Om" (infact in front of each word - Om Hoom, Om Joom, Om Sah etc etc). Also the last part of the mantra in your version is "reversed" - i hope you understand what i mean. I don't understand why their are many versions, but as long as this version is the "official one" I am happy to say what you have suggested.

 

On the question of doing this mantra for someone else, you say that you should state the other persons name with a sentence before your begin. I am confused on this...should the name be said before each mantra or before each time I chant the whole 108?....if it is for the mantra then I am guessing it would go like this

 

(Name of person) Om Hoom Joom Saha, Om Bhu Bhuva SwahaOm Tryambhakam Yajamahey, Sughandhim Pushti VadanamUrvaukameva Bhandanaan, Mrityor Muksheeya MamritatOm Swaha Bhuva, Bhu Om Saha, Joom Hoom Om

 

Finally on the question of position. The only reason I asked was that if I changed my position to east, my back would face the puja alter,....but this you have said is good as it gets backing from gods. I was just a little unsure and thought it would be disrespectful and rude for me to turn my back towards the dieties. I shall now face east.

 

I look forward to hearing from you soon,

 

Warmest,

 

Tajinder
