Shiva Mantra - The Mahamrityunjaya - Conquering Death

ॐ त्र्यम्‍बकं यजामहे सुगन्धिं पुष्टिवर्धनम् उर्वारुकमिव बन्‍धनान् मृत्‍योर्मुक्षीय मा मृतात् Om tryambakaṃ yajāmahe sugandhiṃ puṣṭivardhanam urvārukamiva bandhanān mṛtyormukṣīyamāmṛtāt We offer sacrifice to Tryambaka (Shiva), The fragrant one, who enhances prosperity. As the pumpkin from its stem, I wish to be free from death — not from immortality!
