Origin

The Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra was found by Rishi Markandeya. It was a secret mantra, and Rishi Markandeya was the only one in the world who knew this mantra. The Moon was once in trouble, cursed by King Daksha. Rishi Markandeya gave the Mahamritryunjaya Mantra to Sati, Daksha's daughter, for the Moon. This is how this mantra became known which according to another version is the Bija mantra as revealed to Rishi Kahola that was given by Lord Shiva to sage Sukracharya who taught it to Rishi Dadicha who gave it to King Kshuva through whom it reached the Shiva Purana.

It is also called the Rudra mantra, referring to the furious aspect of Lord Shiva; the Tryambakam mantra, alluding to Shiva's three eyes; and it is sometimes known as the Mrita-Sanjivini mantra because it is a component of the "life-restoring" practice given to the primordial sage Sukracharya after he had completed an exhausting period of austerity. Its Devata is Rudra or Lord Shiva in his fiercest and most destructive roopa or aspect. In the Vedas it finds its place in three texts - a) the Rig veda VII.59.12, b) the Yajur Veda III.60, and c) the Atharva Veda XIV.1.17.

The mantra is a prayer of devotee to Lord Shiva. Trayambaka is the three eyed one (where the third eye signifies the giver of knowledge, which destroys ignorance and releases us from the cycle of death and rebirth). Lord Shiva, when worshipped Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra, bestows the boon of sound health, longlife, prosperity, wealth, contentment and Peace. For the worshipper of this mantra, whichever faith he may belong to, the positive vibrations of the mantra percolates to each and every cell in the body thus forming a protective shield protecting the worshiper from life calamities, accidents, mishaps, daily calamities etc. Also called as Moksha mantra, the energy or heat created by chanting this, makes one fearless and takes one beyond the cycle of birth and death. This mantra takes you to your state of absolute truth, pure consciousness and bliss i.e. the state of Sachidananda[ sat- chit- anand] and links you to the most merciful Lord Shiva
