What is Maha Mrityunjaya Jaap?
Maha Mrityunjaya Jaap is the chanting of the Mrityunjaya mantra (Om tryambakam yajamahe…) 11,000 times by a team of pandits in the name of a person, for recovery from illness, protection from danger and long life.
The mantra from the Rig Veda prays to the three-eyed Shiva to free us from death as a ripe cucumber is freed from its vine. For serious illness the full anushthanam of 1,25,000 japam (Sava Laksha) is done over several days.
