Maha Mrityunjay at Somnath

The Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra at the Somnath is especially powerful. Dedicated to Lord Shiva, this mantra is recited to seek protection from untimely death, alleviate suffering, and promote healing and spiritual growth. Somnath, one of the twelve Jyotirlingas, is considered a highly sacred spot for Shiva devotees, making it an ideal place for performing this ritual.

The mantra, also known as the “Death-Conquering Mantra,” is:

ॐ त्र्यम्बकं यजामहे सुगन्धिं पुष्टिवर्धनम्। उर्वारुकमिव बन्धनान्मृत्योर्मुक्षीय माऽमृतात्॥

Om Tryambakam Yajamahe Sugandhim Pushtivardhanam Urvarukamiva Bandhanan Mrityor Mukshiya Maamritat.
