Mahamrityunjaya Mantra (maha-mrityun-jaya)

[Harry]

Mahamrityunjaya Mantra (maha-mrityun-jaya), also called the Tryambakam Mantra, is a verse of the Yajurveda addressed to Tryambakam "the three-eyed", identified with the Hindu deity Shiva. It's literal translation is the Great Death-Conquering mantra. It is a mantra that has many names and forms.

It is called the Rudra mantra, referring to the furious aspect of Shiva; the Tryambakam mantra, alluding to Shiva's three eyes; and its is sometimes known as the Mrita-Sanjivini mantra because it is a component of the "life-restoring" practice given to the primordial sage Shukra after he had completed an exhausting period of austerity. The Maha Mrityunjaya mantra is hailed by the sages as the heart of the Veda. Along with the Gayatri mantra it holds the highest place among the many mantras used for contemplation and meditation.

tryambaka? yaj?mahe sugandhi? pu??i-vardhanam
urv?rukam iva bandhan?n m?tyor muk??ya m?m?t?t

"OM. We worship and adore you, O three-eyed one, O Shiva. You are sweet gladness, the fragrance of life, who nourishes us, restores our health, and causes us to thrive. As, in due time, the stem of the cucumber weakens, and the gourd is freed from the vine, so free us from attachment and death, and do not withhold immortality."

There have been various remedial measures that have been prescribed in the Shastras to propiate Saturn and to get his blessings. These remedial measures are being disclosed over here so that individuals can get help. But before you actually do these study the character of Saturn and then think what he actually wants from you. Be like what Saturn wants you to be and then you will see the remedial measures giving benefits to you. A word of caution remember these should be performed by you only and not some hired person because Saturn is not interested in getting these remedial measures he wants devotion and truthfulness from you. Self help is the best help. Another thing if you are not sure about the pronunciation of a mantra (Chant) then you should consult some person who actually knows to pronounce the mantra. And you should also know the meaning of the mantra. Here the Mahamrityunjaya mantra is being explained in detail.

Mahamrityunjaya mantra is one of the Two Great mantras explained in the Vedas. The other being the Gayatri. It is basically chanted when one is having physical and mental ailments.
