First of all to which deity a revealed Veda mantra is addressed to is known by looking at 'Devata' of the mantra. Each revealed Veda mantra has a 'Rishi' denoting sage who heard the mantra, 'Chhanda' denoting in which meter is that mantra revealed and 'Devata' to whom deity is a mantra addressed. So, it is not that one makes up Devata with his wild imaginations, it's already known through Anukramani of Veda.


And same is the case for Maha Mrityunjaya mantra too. Maha Mrityunjaya is revealed in several Vedas like Rig Veda 7.59.12, YajurVeda Vajasaneyi Samhita 3.60, Taittariya Samhita 1.8.6.i etc...


Let's see in RigVeda 7.59.12

So, it's beyond doubt that the deity of mantra is Lord Rudra.


It's further clarified through YajurVeda. Shukla YajurVeda Samhita just after describing Mahamrityunjaya Mantra features also other features of Lord Rudra:

So, it is again more clear from above YajurVeda passage.

 

Trayambakam is three eyed one as I discuss here. and also adressed here in Harivamsha and also there is a famous Jyotirlinga called Trayambakeshwara. Pinakapani is Lord Shiva.


The Rik itself is called 'MrityuVimochini Rik' ie. 'For Mukti from Death' ie. It is for the purpose of liberation. I also discuss it in my answer here.


And more importantly MahaMrityunjaya mantra isn't the only Mantra which asks Moksha from Lord Shiva. There are several other Veda mantras too and a mantra very similar to MahaMrityunjaya mantra is Sadyojata mantra which is from Taittariya Aranyaka of Yajurveda (10.17) and also in AtharvaVeda Parishistam which I also discuss here.

Also as Lord Shiva is the one who is the lord of all who is in bondage (Pati of Pashu) as I discuss here so he is the one who delivers beings from bondage and MahaMrityunjaya mantra is also asking to provide liberation from bondage of death for the sake of Immortality.

This Shiva mantra was first mentioned in Sukta 59 of the seventh mandala of the Rig Veda, one of the oldest Sanskrit scriptures. The history of the MahaMrityunjaya mantra is closely linked to the legend of Markandeya, who Shiva revealed this chant to as a means to overcome his premature death.

By regularly practicing this powerful mantra, you can overcome negative energy and emotions, such as jealousy, anger, and greed. It cultivates a sense of inner peace and tranquility, so that you are better able to manage stress and anxiety. Not only that, but you will also experience an increased sense of focus and clarity, making it easier for you to achieve your goals and pursue your dreams.

Maha Mrityunjaya mantra is a simple yet powerful practice that anyone can do, regardless of their spiritual background or belief system. The phrase is usually repeated 108 times, either in a single sitting or over the course of multiple sessions. It will be most powerful to chant the mantra silently.

Keep your mind focused on each word as you chant the mantra. Notice where you feel the vibration of the sacred sound in your head and chest. You may need to keep your eyes open to read the phrase at first, but eventually work on memorizing it so you can practice with your eyes closed.

The Maha Mrityunjaya mantra is an ancient and powerful chant that has been revered for centuries. By incorporating this mantra into your daily routine with sincere devotion, you can experience a profound transformation in your physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.

As you chant the Mahamrityunjaya mantra, allow its divine energy to guide you on a journey of self-discovery and inner peace. Embrace its timeless wisdom as you navigate the trials and difficulties of this human life, finding solace in its profound wisdom. With each recitation, feel a deepening connection to the ultimate reality and experience a sacred bond with the Divine energies. Remember, regular practice and a focused mind are key to unlocking the full benefits of this chant.

On the day of his sixteenth birthday Markandeya took refuge in a temple and sat next to a shiva lingam (a symbol of divine consciousness) to do his worship and meditation. When the messengers of Lord Yama, the lord of death, arrived to take him away, they found him so absorbed in his prayers, they could not complete their mission.

Returning to Yama, they described their dilemma. So Yama himself traveled to the temple to accomplish the task. He urged Markandeya to follow the natural laws of life and death, and to come willingly, but Markandeya wrapped his arms around the shiva lingam and surrendered himself to its protection. Yama threw his noose to gather Markandeya in, but the noose encircled the lingam as well, and immediately, Shiva, dwelling in the image, split the lingam open and emerged in a rage. Yama had thrown his noose too far, for he had no authority to encircle Shiva himself.

The great mantra dedicated to Shiva as Mrityunjaya is found in the Rig Veda (Mandala VII, Hymn 59), where it is attributed to the sage Vasishtha. The hymn in which it is found begins with eleven stanzas honoring the forces of nature (the maruts) said to be the children of Rudra/Shiva. The maruts control the energies of storms, winds, cyclones, and clouds (and thus the nurturing light of the sky). They possess destructive energy, but they are also the protectors of the household. When they act in harmony, they create an environment of peace and prosperity.

The mantra is divided into four lines, each containing eight syllables. Translations vary considerably. A bit of research, however (try looking the mantra up on the Web, for example), will make it clear that no single translation can ever do justice to all its levels of meaning. The multi-leveled nature of Sanskrit words makes this impossible.

But differences in translation also reflect the fact that the sounds of the mantra are more important to practitioners than its exact translation. Like music, the resonance of these sounds attracts the mind and leads it to an inner experience. The literal meaning of the mantra is secondary.

But even so, it is important to understand the mantra in order to develop faith in it. The individual words of the mantra convey its nourishing quality, and, even in English, they are life-sustaining. They fill us with the sense that a great force of goodness is at work within us, supporting our growth, lifting us up during times of trouble, and helping us recall, even in the midst of our busy lives, the higher aim of life itself.

To overcome this fear, it is said that Lord Shiva himself gave humanity the Maha Mrityunjaya mantra. Whenever there is listlessness, stress, grief, or illness, or when fear of death intrudes in awareness, this great mantra can be used for healing, for maintaining vitality, and for refuge.

The Maha Mrityunjaya mantra restores health and happiness and brings calmness in the face of death. When courage or determination are blocked, it rises up to overcome obstacles. It awakens a healing force that reaches deep into the body and mind.

Just as a plant patiently gathers nutrients from the soil, so healing and nourishing forces enter the human body through foods, medicines, supportive emotions, and encouraging thoughts. The Maha Mrityunjaya mantra attracts these forces and creates an inner environment to enhance their effectiveness. Thus the mantra can be used whenever any restorative process is undertaken.

The mantra can be recited when taking medicines, for it prepares the body and mind to make the best use of them. In India, when ash (bhasma) is applied to the body (as either a medicinal or a spiritual act) the mantra is recited. And so, whenever matters of health, vitality, nurturance, or freedom from the fear associated with death arise, the Maha Mrityunjaya mantra naturally surfaces as a remedy and comfort.

It is also said that those in the healing professions will benefit from reciting the Maha Mrityunjaya mantra regularly. Through it, they will draw from an infinite reserve of energy, and thus prevent burnout while opening a channel of healing from which life can be nourished.

Inspired by such words and instructed by teachers who have preserved the traditions of practice, many meditators have made the Maha Mrityunjaya mantra a part of their daily routine. There are no restrictions as to who may learn and practice the mantra, nor is it necessary to embrace the mythology surrounding the mantra in order to use it. It is enough to approach it with respect.

The first step is to learn to recite the mantra correctly. Although it may appear long, it has only thirty-two syllables and it can be learned with a modest effort. Slow repetition combined with a review of the meaning of the individual words will help in remembering them.

Once the mantra is learned, bring it to mind as you begin your daily meditation, as a kind of invocation to your normal practice. After calming the body and breath, do 3, 11, 21, or even 36 recitations, and allow your mind to become absorbed in the sounds and rhythm of each line. Let the mantra draw your awareness to the heart center or the eyebrow center, whichever feels most natural to you, and use that center as the focal point of your awareness. If you are reciting the mantra to help with a health problem, focus your awareness at the navel center.

But often the sentiments that draw one to this practice are prompted less by health issues than by a deep urge to be part of the unfolding harmony of life itself. The nurturing quality of the mantra acts in the human mind and heart just as the forces of light, water, and soil act in the life of a plant. The mantra magnifies the qualities of personality that give our lives purpose and meaning.

Use a mala (a string of 108 beads) to keep track of your practice. Treat one complete mala as 100 repetitions of the mantra. A fulfilling practice is to complete 8,000 repetitions in 40 days. This can be accomplished by doing one mala in the morning and one in the evening. 006ab0faaa
