Mahamrityunjay mantra and its Significance, Vidhi, Benefits, Rules!
What is Mahamrityunjay mantra
Mahamrityunjaya Mantra is also called as om Tryambakam mantra. In reality, Mahamrityunjaya Mantra is a Rig Vedic verse that is regarded as the most powerful Shiva Mantra. It grants immortality, protects against disasters, and prevents premature death. It also eliminates fears and promotes holistic healing.
If you speak the Mahamritunjay mantra every day, you will become immortal, and all your ailments will vanish. Long-Lived Markanda Rishi mentioned the nobility of the Mahamritunjay Mantra in his mythological story. The story of Sanat Rishi, who blessed the child with long life, was also mentioned. However, he later discovered that a child's life span is just ten years. Kala (the God of Time) moves at his own pace.
Lord Shiva instituted (or gave) the Maha Mrityunjaya mantra to Rishi Markandeya. When King Daksh cursed Chandra Dev, this mantra was used to save his life. It is one of the Vedas' most powerful mantras, containing Lord Shiva's strength and capable of resolving any issue.
It is made up of three Hindi words: "Maha," which means wonderful, "Mrityun," which means death; and "Jaya," which means victory, resulting in victory over death.
"ऊँ त्र्यंबकम् यजामहे सुगंधीम् पुष्टी वर्धनम्। उर्व्वावरूक मिवबंधनान् मृत्योर्मुक्षी यमामृतात्।।"
Meaning of Mahamrityunjaya Mantra:
ॐ (Om) :Lord Shankar in the form of Omkar
त्र्यम्बकं (Tryambakam) :Your beautiful with three eyes
यजामहे (Yajamahe) :We worship, please in our life
सुगन्धिम्भ (Sugandhim) :Give the fragrance of devotion,
पुष्टिवर्धनम् (Pushtivardhanam) :Increase happiness.
उर्वारुकमिव (Urvarukamiv) : the way the fruit easily
बन्धनान् (Bandhanan) :is freed from the bondage of the tree, just like
मृत्योर्मुक्षीय (Mrityormukksha) :freeing us from the bondage of death
मामृतात् (Mamrita) :Give me the status of nectar
Mahamrityunjaya Mantra means the most loved mantra of Lord Shankar, who conquers death. The Mahamrityunjaya mantra is mentioned in Sukta 59 of the seventh mandala of the Rigveda, the oldest text. Mahamrityunjay mantra is also known as Rudra Mantra.
We worship Lord Shiva, the fragrant three-eyed One who nourishes all beings; For the sake of immortality, may He save me from death, just as the cucumber is freed from its creeper's shackles.”
History of Mahmrityunjaya Mantra:
Lord Shiva bestowed the Mrityunjaya Mantra upon Rishi Markandeya. There's a backstory to this... Bhrigu Rishi and Marudmati, his wife, once prayed to Lord Shiva for a son for years. Their devotion so moved Lord Shiva that he gave them some crucial information: whether they should have an intelligent son with a short life or a low-intelligence son with a long life. Lord Shiva gave the boon as a son named Markandeya will be born to you soon with a life span of just 12 years, after Rishi Brighu accepted lord Shiva's offer of having a boy with a short life span.
Markandeya Rishi and his wife made the decision not to tell their son the truth. When Markandeya's 12th birthday rolled around, his parents became sad. Markandeya couldn't grasp their agony. The two narrated the entire incident at his request. Then, in front of Shiva ling, Markandeya began his own penance. Then, on his 12th birthday, Yama, the God of death, came to Earth to take him. His parents prayed to God but were unable to finish the act.
On the other hand, the boy remained focused and wrapped his arms around the Shiva ling, surrendering himself to Lord Shiva's mercy. Lord Yama later attempted to take his soul, but the child fell on Shiva ling, who was only Lord Shiva's protector. Shiva was taken aback by the boy and became enraged, punishing Yama. Markandeya has been given the secret mantra "Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra" by Shiva to live a long life.
Significance of Mahamrityunjaya Mantra:
Along with the Gayathri mantra, Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra is one of Hinduism's most powerful mantras. The strong Mrityunjaya mantra is dedicated to Lord Shiva and is said to help people overcome their fears of death and illness. The Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra is believed to have come from the Rig Veda and was brought back to the people by Rishi Markandeya. It is said to be good for mental, emotional, and physical well-being, as well as a moksha mantra that grants immortality and immorality defeating and avoiding untimely death.
The Mahamrityunjaya Mantra is made up of 32 words and by putting 'Om' before this mantra, the total number of words becomes 33. That is why the Mahamrityunjaya mantra is also called 'Trayashtrishashari' mantra.

The numbers '1', '0', and '8' stand for 'oneness,' 'nothingness,' and 'all,' respectively. They represent the true truth of the universe as one, void, and infinite all at the same time.
The distance among the Sun and the Earth is 108 times the Sun's diameter, and the space among the Earth and the Moon is 108 times the Moon's diameter. There are also 108 Upanishads, or treatises, in the Hindu religion.
