Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra

Our traditional mantra in Ayurveda, is a mantra that calls upon the healing force within us, that supports and lifts us our spirit and body. Also helps us recognize the cyclical nature of life and death.

OM. Tryambakam yajamahe Sugandhim pushti-vardhanam Urvarukamiva bandhanan Mrityor mukshiya mamritat

This is the translation that was passed on to me by my teachers: I meditate on, and surrender myself to, the Divine Being who embodies the power of will, knowledge, and action. I pray to the Divine Being who manifests in the form of fragrance in the flower of life and is the eternal nourisher of the plant of life. Like a skillful gardener, may the Lord of Life disentangle me from the binding forces of my physical, psychological, and spiritual foes.

May the Lord of Immortality residing within free me from death, decay, and sickness, and unite me with immortality.
