The Maha MrityunjayaMantra
Om Hraum Jum Sah
Om Bhurbhuva Svah
Om Trayambakam Yajamahe,
Sugandhim Pushti Vardhanam,
Urvarukmiv Bandhanat,
Mrityurmokshaya Mamratat.
Om Svah Bhuvah Bhur
Om Sah Jum Hraum Om
Meaning of this mantra:
This hymn is chanted with the primordial (seed mantra) sound “OM” – the God sound that opens all channels of one’s physical body and psychic mind to receive divine energies. The words in the first line are an intimate clarion call to Shiva, the Supreme Being with three eyes (tryambaka), through complete devotion and surrender (yajamahe). Supreme Being is invoked as the beautiful, fragrant and glorious being (sugandhi), who nourishes humans with divine power and energy. You may also call upon your favorite deity to empower you manifold or fulfill your wishes.
Just like a cucumber or melon (urvarukam) detaches all its ties (bandhanan) with the vine, the Supreme Being can liberate one from the cycles of repeated death and birth and make one immortal. A soul, whose all wishes are fulfilled, is never reborn. This mantra is a call to the divine forces to fulfill all desires of present life and liberate the soul from being caught in the process of reincarnation on earth.
While chanting the mantra, become one with its words –visualize your God as the effulgent and noble being with complete devotion. And then, see him or her enlightening you by showering divine energies. As you dissolve your ego with these words, the beauty of the words makes a very powerful impression on your mind.
