Mahamrityunjay Jaap is the traditional chanting of the Tryambakam mantra to Lord Shiva. Pandit Mohit Tiwari Ji performs it in Ujjain with your sankalp, in 11,000, 51,000 or 1.25 lakh counts, followed by havan and aarti. Devotees seek blessings of health, protection and mental peace.
Significance
The Mahamrityunjay mantra, found in the Rigveda (7.59.12), is a prayer to Tryambak, the three-eyed Shiva, to release us from the bondage of fear and sorrow, "like a ripe cucumber freed from its vine". Across generations, families have chanted it for the wellbeing of a loved one, during difficult times, and for a calm and fearless mind.
ॐ त्र्यम्बकं यजामहे सुगन्धिं पुष्टिवर्धनम्। उर्वारुकमिव बन्धनान्मृत्योर्मुक्षीय माऽमृतात्॥
Ujjain, the ancient Avantika described in the Skanda Purana's Avanti Khand, is the city of Mahakal, and its Shiva-bhakti runs through every lane. A jaap done here, by the Kshipra, is regarded by devotees as especially fitting. Please note this is spiritual support and is offered alongside, never instead of, medical treatment.
