II Introduction to Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra II
The great mantra dedicated to Shiva as Mrityunjaya is found in the Rig Veda. It
is called the Maha Mrityunjaya mantra, the Great Death-Conquering mantra. It is
a mantra that has many names and forms. It is called the Rudra mantra, referring
to the furious aspect of Shiva; the Tryambakam mantra, alluding to Shiva's three
eyes; and its is sometimes known as the Mrita-Sanjivini mantra because it is a
component of the "life-restoring" practice given to the primordial sage Shukra
after he had completed an exhausting period of austerity. The Maha Mrityunjaya
mantra is hailed by the sages as the heart of the Veda. Along with the Gayatri
mantra it holds the highest place among the many mantras used for contemplation
and meditation.

II Meaning of Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra II
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 if freed from the vine, so free us from attachment and death, and do not
withhold immortality.
