Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra

The Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra - "great death-conquering mantra" also called the 'Tryambakam Mantra', is a verse of the Rigveda. It is a prayer to Lord Shiva (part of the hindu trinity, the lord of destruction, penance and meditation) for help in overcoming "death". The seeker is more concerned with avoiding spiritual "death" rather than physical "death".
