THE Maha Mrityunjay is a mantra that is said to rejuvenate, bestow health, wealth, a long life, peace, prosperity and contentment.As you know, the prayer is addressed to Lord Shiva. By chanting this Mantra, Divine vibrations are generated which ward off all the negative and evil forces and create a powerful protective shield. And it is said to protect the one who chants against accidents and misfortunes of every kind. Known as the Moksha Mantra of Lord Shiva, Maha Mrityunjay evokes the Shiva within and removes the fear of death, liberating one from the cycle of death and rebirth.The meaning of this is : Om. We worship the Three-Eyed Lord Shiva who is naturally fragrant, immensely merciful and who is the Protector of devotees. Worshipping him may we be liberated from death for the sake of immortality just as the ripe cucumber easily separates itself from the binding stalk i.e.By your Grace, let me be in the state of salvation (Moksha) and be saved from the clutches of a fearful death.
The Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra is very much a protector from accidents, mishaps and daily calamities in the modern busy life.

These 33 deities are present in different parts of the body of a person. When this Mantra is chanted divine forces in the body are activated and they protect the person from diseases, weakness and death.
