Preface

 I am feeling extremely happy and blessed to see this book in your hands. I believe that you have chosen to get this book for not only to go through this book out of curiousity and quench your intellectual thirst, but also to spiritually benefit from this book by practicing this great mantra (Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra) with correct pronunciation, after knowing its meaning, and with the total surrender to Lord Shiva; the deity of this mantra. Hailed by the sages as the heart of the Vedas, the Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra can help you tune into the healing force that is always at work within you, curing you from the incurable diseases, supporting your growth, preventing your untimely death, lifting you up in the times of trouble, making you immortal even after your physical death because of the good deeds performed in your lifetime, and guiding you towards the higher aim of life. Lord Shiva bestows to his disciple, the same characteristics, as His own. Lord Shiva (the trayambakam, the three-eyed) has conquered mortality, the fear of death. The chanter/Sadhak of Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra likewise attains the same characteristics within himself.

It has been the sincere effort of this author to cover almost all the relevant aspects of Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra in this book for enhancing its degree of utility to the readers. It is a comprehensive yet not a bulky book about this mantra.
