Guest guest Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 This Divine Mantra should be recited for 8000 times in a period of forty days. The recitation of This Manthra 108 times for forty days both in the morning and evening covers this requirement. This is the greatest work of Maharishi Vashistha. Om Tryambakam Yajamahe Sugandhim Pusti - vardhanam Urva - rukamiva Bandhanan Mrtyor - muksheeya Ma - amritat OM has to be added to the beginning of all Mantras as given in an earlier Mantra of the Rig-Veda addressed to Ganapati. TRYAMBAKKAM refers to the Three eyes of Parameshawara.'Trya' means 'Three' and 'Ambakam' means eyes. These three eyes or sources of great enlightenment, Knowledge and Bhakti are the Trimurtis -Brahma, Vishnu and Maheshwara who is Omniscient Brahma), Omnipresent (Vishnu) and Omnipotent (Shiva). This is the wisdom of Maharishi Brihaspati and is referred to as Sri Duttatreya having the three Divine heads of Brahma, Vishnu and Parameshawara. YAJAMAHE means, "We sing The praise of Parameshwara". SUGANDHIM refers to the Divine fragrance of the Lord which includes that of knowledge, presence and strength as being the best and always spreading around. Fragrance refers to the joy that we get on knowing, seeing or feeling the Wonderful Deeds of the Lord. PUSTIVARDHANAM Pooshan refers to Him as the sustainer of this world and because of this He is the Father of all. Pooshan is also the inner being 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 of all. URVAAROKAMEVA 'URVA' means "VISHAL" or big and powerful 'AAROOKAM' means 'Disease'. Thus URVAROOKA means deadly and overpowering diseases. 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. MAAMRITAAT means 'please give me some Amritam or Divine Nectar ,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 and attain the Ultimate Truth.
