MRITHUNJAYA MANTRA:
MRITHUNJAYA MANTRA contains three key words of essence: Thryambaka, Sugandhim and Pushtivardhanam. It is hailed by rishis and sages as the heart of the Vedas. It is a “great death-conquering mantra" and is also known as “Tryambakam Mantra”. It is sometimes known as the Mrita or Sanjivini mantra because it is a component of the ‘life-restoring’ practice given to the primodial sage Shukra after he had completed an exhausting period of austerity.

Aum Trayambakam Yajamahe,
Sugandhim Pushtivardhanam;
Urva Rukamiva Bandhanaan,
Mrityor Mokshiye Maamritat.

वैदिक मंत्र
ॐ त्र्यम्बकँ य्यजामहे सुगन्धिं पुष्टिवर्द्धनम् ।

पौराणिक मंत्र
ॐ मृत्युंजयमहादेवं त्राहि मां शरणागतम् ।
जन्ममृत्युजराव्याधिपीडितं कर्मबन्धनै:॥

समय मंत्र
ॐ हौं जुं स: मृत्युंजयाय नम:॥





It is a verse of the Rigveda 7:59:12 and reoccurs in Yajurveda TS 1.8.6.i; VS 3.60. Next to the Gayathri mantra the Mrithunjaya mantra is a widely recited mantra by Hindus. Mahamrityunjaya Mantra is dedicated to Tryambaka, the ‘three eyed one’ – a reference to Rudra. In that sense it is Rudra mantra as it refers to the furious aspects of Shiva’s attributes. It is a ‘life-restoring’ mantra and used in contemplation and meditation. The mantra conceives all the four ‘purushaartas’ or objectives of life - dharma or righteousness; artha or wealth; kama or desire and moksha or liberation. Among its meaning there are three key words: Pushtivardhanam, Sugandhi and Thryambaka needing elaboration. The remaining words means:

‘Aum’ – This is the sacred pranava mantra;
‘yajamahe’ - means ‘we worship, adore and revere you’; ‘
vardhanam’ – is one who nourishes, strengthens or restores, for example health or wealth;
‘urvarukam’ – here ‘urva’ means ‘vishal’ or big, powerful or deadly. ‘Arukam’ means disease. Thus ‘urvarukam means deadly and overpowering diseases. The pumpkin or cucumber interpretation is given to show detachment. The diseases are those caused by the negative effects of the three gunas and therefore (a) ‘avidya’ – ignorance or falsehood and (b) ‘sadripu’ – a constraint of the physical body.
‘bandhanan’ – ‘bandha’ means bondage. ‘bandhanan’ would therefore mean ‘from capitivity’ that is from the stem of the cucumber.
‘mrtyor’ – from death;
‘ma’ – not
‘amrtat’ – for immortality; emancipation

Pushtivardhanam: Pushti means well nourished condition, fullness of life, broadly meaning material benefits. In the beginning stages of life, we all seek material benefits - artha and kama. After artha the basic need one looks forward to kama. Artha and kama together is called pushti. The Vedas say pushti alone is not enough as it relates to this janma only. So Rudram says if you are interested in basic needs and material benefits, come to me as there are other subtler matters such as punya karma.

Sugandhi: Sugandhi means fragrance. The word in the mantra does not refer to physical fragrance, ie perfume but fragrance of character. Perfume emanates from a source and spreads to a reasonable distance. As such noble character spreads with warmth. It is said in the Vedas that one standing under a tree benefits from the fragrance of the flowers. Thus one standing under the shadow of the Lord has the benefit of His dharma. This motivates us to serve selflessly.

Thryambaka: Thryambaka means “one who has three eyes” referring to Rudra or Siva who share the same attributes. (1) Firstly, in His ‘vishwaroopa’ or universal form, the three eyes symbolically signify the sun, moon and fire. Sunlight during the day, moon at night and fire in their absence signify illumination. (2) Secondly, the pair of eyes give sight to the material world and its experiences. The third eye is symbolic of ‘atma-jnana’ or knowledge of the Self through which one sees the higher reality. Kamadeva or Manmatha is the God of Desire perennially churning the mind and causing restlessness.

Lord Siva is said to have burned Manmatha with His third eye. This signifies that one burns down all desires through jnana and progress the spiritual path. (3) The third signification is depicted by a Puranic story. Asuras had amassed strength, wealth with which they built three cities. The three cities symbolise Maya. Lord Siva burns down the cities with His third eye.

The three cities indeed represent (1) sharirathryam - the three bodies – gross body, subtle body and casual body; (2) prapanchathryam - the three worlds - gross world, subtle world and casual world; (3) ‘gunathryam’ - the three gunas - satva, rajas and tamas; One becomes a ‘trigunaatita; ie to go beyond the three gunas by devotion and worship of the Lord. (4)avasthathryam -the three states of experience - waking, dream and deep sleep.

Siva gives moksha purushaartha. There is no necessity to despise moksha. A diamond mine does not desire the diamonds in it; it was not even aware of its presence. The creeper was not aware of the cucumber. Both the diamond and the cucumber will “drop-off” some day when they are ripe or by plunder. Awareness does not bar detachment. ‘Moksha’ means liberation and ‘purushaartha’ means ‘human end’. ‘Moksha purushaartha’ is liberation as an objective worthy of human pursuit. When one’s life is ripe enough and having the benefit of choice, one may get detached from worldly life. Thus one sees that the Mrithyunjaya mantra gives all the four purushaartas of the dharma, artha, kama and moksha. 



After Reciting Mrityunjay mantra One Lakh  times you can start Aghor Shiv Sadhna

4. He is Mahakaal

He is Mahakaal
Among many of his names, he is called Mahakaal. This name has many interpretations and legends associated with it. In common parlance, whoever is beyond time and death is called Mahakaal. Lord Shiva, according to various stories, have transcended both and therefore is the worthy bearer of this name.

5. Beyond Time

Kaal in simple terms also means death. Lord Shiva is beyond the birth and death cycle and therefore known with this name. However, there is story associated with this name which signifies more appropriately.

7. Sage Markandeya

Sage Markandeya
The story of sage Markandeya is beautiful. The parents of the sage did not have any progeny and prayed earnestly to Lord Shiva. They were given two choices--a son who will live for hundred of years but will have no spiritual inclination, or a son who will live for 16 years but will be an exalted devotee of Lord Shiva.

8. They chose the devoted son

They chose the devoted son
Without doubt, the parents chose a spiritually oriented son. Markandeya was born and he was engaged in worshiping Lord Shiva right from his childhood. When the time of his death came, his parents told him about the condition.

Markandeya had total faith
He did not get perturbed. He had total faith in Lord Shiva. He prayed to Lord Shiva and feel in exhausted state putting his arms around the Shivalinga.

When the Death God approached him and threw his noose around Markandeya, it coiled around the Shivalinga too. This was unacceptable. Lord Shiva appeared there looking determined to kill the Death God itself.

11. Markandeya was given eternity

Markandeya was given eternity
Frightened by the very prospect of getting killed, the Death God pleaded for mercy and granted eternal life to the devotee of Lord Shiva.

12. Dual significance of this story

Dual significance of this story
This story vindicates the devotion of Markandeya and at the same time emphasizes the belief that devotion to Lord Shiva can save us from death, and therefore birth too--which means it can give us liberation.

Because even Kaal fears Lord Shiva, he is called Mahakaal. There are other stories too that are associated with him being beyond time and therefore earning the moniker Mahakaal.

Names are for arousing devotion
In spirituality, all names have one common goal--to around the devotion in the person who is chanting or reciting those names.

Once, Daksha Prajapati who is the son of lord Brahma organised grand yagna (ritual of sacrifice) for which he invited everybody except lord Shiva and her daughter Sati. Although no yagna can be fulfilled without Trinath (Brahma, Vishnu and Maheshwar) he wanted to continue the yagna, it was presided by four prominent Sages. Sati wanted to attend the ritual performed by her father despite lord Shiva’s request of not attending the yagna.

           Reason behind Dakshas reluctant to invite lord Shiva is because of his appearance and costumes ( lord Shiva wears tiger skin, apply ashes and puts poisonous snakes and skulls as his garments and always wanders in cremation grounds). Apart from this he is the person behind beheading one of the heads of his father lord Brahma. (Once there was a verbal war between lord Brahma and Vishnu, which lead both of them using deadly weapons of Maheshwar and Pashupat. In order to save this universe Lord Shiva took the form of pillar of fire and destroyed both weapons. In a greed to see beginning and ending of the pillar which was deep into patal and top is into sky, lord Vishnu agreed to get into pataal world and lord Brahma into sky. Lord Vishnu was unsuccessful, lord brahma transformed into swan and flew into sky where he saw one of the flower coming from the top of the pillar, he asked the flower where is the top and its creation, the flower replied that I was from the creation but don’t know its peak. In order to show lord Brahmas superiority, he made an agreement with the flower to speak false statement of lord Brahma reaching the peak. Lord Vishnu genuinely accepted superiority of lord Brahma. Angered with the act of lord Brahma, lord Shiva be headed the head which spoke false and also cursed Brahma that he will not have any temple in any worlds)
