Apr 6, 2023
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.
