| 7-Mahaa Mrityunjaya Mantra-2
 Discussion on Mahaa mrityumjaya <antra 
in Om Namah Shivaaya Group
 
      The Mantra given on the previous page is 
      actually the Mrityunjaya Mantra. The Mahaa Mrityunjaya Mantra consists of 6 
      Om. It is given below:Om Haum Joom Sah, Om Bhoo Bhuvah Swah, Om Tryambakam Yajaamahe Sugandhim Pushtivardhanam
 Urvaa Rukmiv Bandhanaan Mrityor Muksheeya Maamritaat Om Swah Bhuvah Bhoo Om Sah Joom Haum Om.
 This is known 
      as the Mahaa Mrityunjaya Mantra or as 'Mahaa Mrutyunjaya Mantra Shat 
      Pranav, because Om comes in this Mantra 6 times in and so is treated as 
      more powerful than 'Ek (single) Pranav Mahaa Mrityunjaya or Mrityunjaya 
      Mantra. If you recite it in front of a phallic emblem of Shiv in a Shiv 
      Temple, especially in front of a Jyotirling with real Rudraaksh beads, you 
      generate tremendous positive energy. I recited it in Tryambakeshwar with 
      my Rudraaksh Maalaa from the source of Godaavaree River   
      .....and I felt a surge of vibrations and energy.... that is the power of 
      this Mantra and Rudraaksh. I think this Mantra 
      is in Samputikaa form and should not be chanted by everyone especially without 
      proper initiation. Samputikaa Mantras are even more significant in this respect. 
      Further, there are specific Vidhis (rules) to be observed in chanting such Mantra. 
      Mantra Shaastra is very clear on this. No Mantra will work without initiation from 
      a Guru- a realized soul. There are some books which have published this and other 
      Mantra with scant regard for secrecy that should be observed as per Shaastra. There 
      are some more more variations also of this Mantra, but all those Mantra are to be 
      used only for specific purposes strictly after proper initiation and only when 
      necessary. All Mantra will not 
      suit everybody. A learned person gave me a Mantra focused on a Jyotirling and 
      the end result was it affected my health. Only later it dawned on me and another 
      learned person advised me and taught me the reasons why it did not suit me. For 
      the same reason that Mantra gave you such vibrations at Tryambakeshwar CAUTION: 
      Do not chant any mantra without sanction from a Guru or a realized soul. 
      Somebody else writes that the Mahaa mrityunjaya Mantra goes like this --Om Hreem Jus Bhoor Bhuvah Swaha Om Tryambakam ---------Maamritaat Bhoor Bhuva Swaha 
      jus hreem Om.
 -------------------------------------------------
 not essentially........    It is given in the Rudra Yaamal 
      that the Mahaa Mrityunjaya Mantra does not require any purity........ Any 
      one can chant it. It is a gift by god to mankind ..........it need not be 
      initiated by a Guru........ You read the first chapter of the Rudra Yaamal 
      Uttar Khand.....  and you will come to know about it.....  Yes 
      the Gayatri Mantra needs purity and takes a Jap of 10,000 times to get the 
      Diddhi. If u believe in the Rudra.....  then read the
      Rudra 
      Yaamal Tantra which is about Mantra and Tantra. Its synopsis is given 
      on this website -

 Pt Arjun writes
 Any Mantra invoking god can be recited even without a Guru's Upadesh. However 
      receiving or hearing the Mantra from an elderly or a learnt person (Guru) is 
      beneficial for the native as he listens and assimilate the correct pronunciation.
 There are some 
      Vasheekaran, Mohan, Aakarshan, Stambhan, Vidweshan, Uchchaatan, Maaran 
      Mantra (all Prayog Mantra) which shall not be used at all as they have 
      negative boomeranging affect. even a Guru has no right to give these 
      Mantra to his Shishya unless those help the society at large or root out 
      the evil. they are generally given and used only to the King (Lord of the 
      land) to protect the people in their kingdom. These days so many books 
      went public with publishing all these secret Mantra which is bad. The correct 
      Mrityunjaya Mantra (prefixing Om). it would give result only after recital 
      of 1 Laakh times continuously. It would give result only after recital of 
      1.20 Laakh times continuously. There are three Laghu (simple) Mrityunjaya 
      Mantra :1. om joom sah - give Siddhi after reciting 3 Laakh times
 2. om haum joom sah - give Siddhi after reciting 4 Laakh times
 3. om joom sah maam palaya palaya - give Siddhi after reciting 1.25 Laakh 
      times
 However, some 
      learnt elders (Guru) say that due to Dharm running on 1 foot in Kali Yug 
      compared to 4 legs in Satya Yug, the numberof Mantra recital should be three times more than what is prescribed 
      above. besides the above, the biggest Mrityunjaya Mantra christened Mrit 
      Sanjeevanee Vidyaa is there, but it is forbidden to pass this to public. 
      Using this Mantra, sage Shukraachaarya (Daitya Guru) brought back to life 
      several dead Raakshas. If a person is on the death bed or suffering from 
      chronic disease and doctors have declared no chance,
 then if we do Abhishekam with buttermilk (Chhaach) while reciting this 
      Mantra, the person would regain his lost health soonest. However, 
      immediately after this, the Shiv Ling shall be cleaned with water and then 
      with pure Ganga Jal and then proper Rudraabhishek with cow milk shall also 
      be done.
 --------------------------------------------------
 Although any Mantra  can be recited to invoke god without a Guru's 
      Upadesh. but only Siddha Mantra are allowed that way. The Mrityunjaya
 Mantra is fine, except that its Samputik form with the Vyaahriti(s) given 
      is to be received from a Guru for results.
 Quoting Rudra 
      Yaamal is fine, but the same Rudra Yaamal also elaborates on the 
      importance of Guru and initiation. Recite the Samputik Mantra with caution 
      preferably on a Guru's advice or initiation. ------------------------------------------------
 We should not be daunted by the count, we should say as many as we can in 
      a day comfortably, not forcing ourselves, even 3 a day is fine. As Mantra 
      add up cumulatively it will help in the long run.
 -----------------------------------------------
 The Moorti who sits facing the South is called as Dakshinaamoorti. Why should 
      the Lord sit facing the south? The answer is simple. Yam /Kaal /Mrityu /Death 
      rules the South. The Indriyaan lead one to south. The life's flow leads people 
      to the repeated cycles of birth and death. Bahirmukh Bhaavanaa comes automatically 
      to the Jeev. This life leads through the gates of Indriyaan leads one to the abode 
      of Yam. The moment the Jeev understands that the Almighty is sitting facing South 
      the turn-around takes place. In order to understand the Almighty the Jeev has to 
      face North/ turn inward. This means that the Jeev has to show the back to Yam. The 
      moment the self-referral blessing is received the Jeev becomes Mrityunjaya. Gyaan 
      never dies. This simple principle is taught by the Jyotish Shaastra as retrogression. 
      Jal Tattwa helps sustenance and healing. Glorify the Jal principle by helping others 
      with the facility of water, do Abhishek to Lord, chant
 "
      Om Namah Shivaaya Namo  Mahaakaaleshwaraaya"

 one more Mrityunjaya Mantra which reads like this is
 Aum Mrityunjayaa Mahaadev Traahi Maam Sharnaaagatam,
 Janma Mrityu Jaraavadhi peeditam Karm bandhanehi.
