Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra is the great mantra for conquering death for it protects against all threats and at the time of death eases the process of release.
It is one of the more potent of the ancient mantras, a call for enlightenment and the practice of purifying the karmas of the soul at a deep level.
It is beneficial for mental, emotional, and physical health. It is also a moksha mantra that bestows longevity and immortality.
The Mantra creates a very powerful protective shield of divine vibrations that wards off and protects us from negativities and evil forces.
The Mrityunjaya Mantra was founded by Rishi Markandeya. It was a secret mantra, and Rishi Markandeya was the only one in the world who knew this mantra.
The Moon was once in trouble, cursed by King Daksha. Rishi Markandeya gave the Mahamrityunjaya Mantra to Sati, Daksha’s daughter, for the Moon. This is how this mantra became known to the world.
