महा मृत्युंजय मन्त्र: AUDIO

The great mantra dedicated to Shiva as Mrityunjaya is found in the Rig Veda. It is called the Maha Mrityunjaya mantra, the Great Death-Conquering mantra. It is a mantra that has many names and forms. It is called the Rudra mantra, referring to the furious aspect of Shiva; the Tryambakam mantra, alluding to Shiva's three eyes; and its is sometimes known as the Mrita-Sanjivini mantra because it is a component of the "life-restoring" practice given to the primordial sage Shukra after he had completed an exhausting period of austerity. The Maha Mrityunjaya mantra is hailed by the sages as the heart of the Veda. Along with the Gayatri mantra it holds the highest place among the many mantras used for contemplation and meditation.

त्र्यम्बकं यजामहे सुगन्धठं पुष्टठवर्धनम्
उर्वारुकमठव बन्धनान्मृत्योर्मुक्षीय माऽमृतात्

Om Tryambakam Yajaamahe
Sugandhim Pushtti-Vardhanam
UrvaarukamIva Bandhanaan
Mrtyor-Mukssiiya Maamrtaat

Meaning-

OM. We worship and adore you, O three-eyed one, O Shiva.
You are sweet gladness, the fragrance of life, who nourishes us,
restores our health, and causes us to thrive.
As, in due time, the stem of the cucumber weakens,
and the gourd if freed from the vine, so free us
from attachment and death, and do not withhold immortality.

Significance-

It is said to be beneficial for mental, emotional and physical health and to be a moksha mantra which bestows longevity and immortality.
According to some puranas, the Mahamrityunjaya Mantra has been used by many Rishis as well as Sati during the time when Chandra suffered from the curse of Prajapati Daksha. By reciting this mantra, the effect of the curse of Daksha, which could make him die, slowed, and Shiva then took Chandra and placed it upon his head.
This mantra is addressed to Lord Shiva for warding off untimely death. It is also chanted while smearing Vibhuti over various parts of the Body and utilised in Japa or Homa (havan) to get desired results. While its energy protects and guides the initiates a mantra re-links consciousness to its deeper and more abiding nature and repetition of the mantra constitutes Japa, the practice of which develops concentration that leads to a transformation of awareness. Whereas the Gayatri Mantra is meant for purification and spiritual guidance, the Mahamrityunjaya Mantra is meant for healing rejuvenation and nurturance.

The true meaning is as follows:
Tryambakam: The three eyed lord (Shiva) who sees what we can see but who also sees what we can not see. Hence 3 eyed.
Yajamahe: Yajanam is invocation; I invoke
Sugandhim Pushti Vardhanama: Increase my good vasanas (not of material aspects like gold, money,sex, anger, the 6 enemies etc.)
Urvarukam iva bandhanaan mrityor mukshiya ma mritaat: When I die my soul should leave the body as easily ( without attachment) as the cucumber falls from its plant.

--Method for attaining great and rare results from this Mantra:
Although even one round (ONE MALA-108 Mantra) of this mantra starts giving the desired results, but it is said that with the 41 days practice of 125000 mantras with faith and VIDHI the devotee (sadhaka) surely gets the Result.
