We know how our mood at any given moment colours our experience of things. Even things like illnesses, are often produced by our mind in a ‘dis-eased’ state of vibration. In fact, our mind in different states of vibrations produces different results or manifestations. To put it simply, sometimes our thinking processes match, and sometimes they don’t.
How often do you hear, “He has a good vibe”, or, “We just don’t vibe with each other”. Even between people there are vibrations. The entire universe is made up of energy, and this energy in different states of vibration makes up the objects of the universe. Even scientifically, electrons, protons and neutrons are only energies in varying states of vibration. The whole universe is nothing but vibration. Besides being words with deep meanings, they are also vibrations. Mantras are not just words or sentences put together. So, the mantra protects that person who recites and reflects upon it. The very word mantra has been defined as ‘mananat traiyate iti mantra’ – ‘That which protects the one who reflects upon it’. Therefore, mantras are classified under Sruti – ‘that which was heard’. They have been revealed to great ancient sages (Risi) following their intense meditation and austerity.
Mantras are not philosophies developed by a human intellect or mind. Anything created by the limited ego, the limited being, can only be limited. Mantras are revealed truths, not concocted theories. The Maha-Mrtyunjaya Mantra is found in the Rig Veda as well as in the Yajur Veda. Thus, it is that great mantra that can help us to conquer death. That is why it is called the Maha-Mrutyunjaya Mantra, maha means ‘great’, jaya means ‘victory’ and mrtyu means ‘death’. It can also ward off accidents and said to cure even the most ‘incurable’ of diseases. Its popularity is due to the fact that it releases one from spiritual bondage and prevents untimely death. INTRODUCTIONĪs well-known as the powerful Savitur Gayatri Mantra – Om Bhur Bhuva Suvahah, Tat Savitur Varenyam… the Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra inspires its chants and reveals the Highest Spiritual Truths.
1: Om, We Worship the Three-Eyed One (Lord Shiva),Ģ: Who is Fragrant (Spiritual Essence) and Who Nourishes all beings.ģ: May He severe our Bondage of Samsara (Worldly Life), like a Cucumber (severed from the bondage of its Creeper), …Ĥ: … and thus Liberate us from the Fear of Death, by making us realize that we are never separated from our Immortal Nature.
