Mahamrityunjaya Mantra

Mahamrityunjaya Mantra (Sanskrit: महा मृत्युंजय मंत्र, Mahā Mṛtyuṃjaya Mantra), also called the Tryambakam Mantra, is a verse of theYajurveda (TS 1.8.6.i; VS 3.60) addressed to Tryambakam "the three-eyed", identified with the Hindu deity Shiva. Its literal translation is the Great Death-Conquering mantra.

The mantra was originally given by Lord Shiva as a boon (Mritasanjiviani Vidya) to Shukracharya after his penance. It was later known to brihaspati and devas who gave it to rishi vashistha for human welfare.

Rigveda Verse : mandala-7 sukt-59 mantra-12 | Rishi: Vashistha | Mantra Devata: Rudra 

In the translation of Arthur Berriedale Keith, 1914): 

"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."

Literal Rendering:

three-eyed one / we praise / the fragrant / the beneficent

like a cocumber / (drops off) from its stem / from death / liberate / not from immortality

Meaning:

Om. We worship The Three-Eyed Lord Shiva who is fragrant and who increasingly nourishes the devotees. Worshipping him may we be liberated from death for the sake of immortality just as the ripe cucumber easily separates itself from the binding stalk.

Significance of Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra:

Devotees strongly believe that proper recitation of the Maha Mrityunjaya rejuvenates, bestows health, wealth, long life, peace, prosperity and contentment. It is said that chanting of Shiva Mantra generates divine vibrations that ward off all the negative and evil forces and creates a powerful protective shield. Besides, it is said to protect the one who chants against accidents and misfortunes of every kind. Recitation of the mantra creates vibration that pulsates through every cell, every molecule of human body and tears away the veil of ignorance. Hindus believe that recitation of the mantra ignites a fire within that consumes all negativity and purifies entire system. It is also said to have a strong healing power and can cure diseases declared incurable even by the doctors. Many believe Maha Mrityunjay Mantra to be a mantra that can conquer death and connect human beings to their own inner divinity.

Best Time to Chant:

Chanting the Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra with sincerity, faith and devotion in Bramha Muhurata is very beneficial. But one can also do Maha Mrityunjaya japa anytime in a pure environment with great benefit and discover the happiness that's already within.

~ May Lord Shiva Bless Us All ~

If forgetting you was as easy...

If forgetting you was as easy as loving you, I would never cry,
I would have moved on with my life and lived like a normal guy,
There would be no more question marks hanging over my head, nor
There would be this thought "Why am i alive, I wish i was dead!"

If forgetting you was as easy as loving you, I would never pray,
There would be more happiness with your thoughts out of my way,
Dreams would no longer wake me up in the middle of the night,
Gazing into the skies, I would never wish to hold onto you tight..

If forgetting you was as easy as loving you, I would never fear,
Every rising sun would bring a smile on my face and not a tear,
Putting back the broken pieces of my heart, I will dance ahead,
With all the tears gone, my eyes will no longer look dark red..

If forgetting you was as easy as loving you, I would never regret,
No more looking back and remembering the days i want to forget,
There would be no more mountains to scale, no more oceans to swim,
There would be no more harsh feelings even if you start loving him..

If forgetting you was as easy as loving you, I would never fall,
No more running behind you or waiting for your phone call,
There would be no more looking at the door you shut on me,
And no more building of dream homes sitting beside the sea..

Where ever you go, there would always be this voice calling you,
Whenever you try to forget me, it would whisper, "I still love you",
It will make you sad, it will make you cry, it will make you realize,
Only my love is true and other things in your life are just lies..

You can go anywhere you want, can hide in any place you desire,
My love will never die, it will keep on going higher and higher,
Though you have broken my heart and gone very far away,
On your mind, in your heart - Forever Only My love Will Stay . . . !!
