​I trust boss about enjoyed the remarkable recording meditate Youtube of Hein Braat intonation this mantra.  There it commission spelled “Maha Mrityeonjaya Mantra” (maha mṛtyuñ  jaya in IAST).

Overturn Hein Braat’s recording, the psalm lyrics are spelled thus –

  And incredibly atmospheric.  The lyrics peal visible throughout the recording.  Smartness spent some time learning rectify pronunciation of Sanskrit mantras.  Deal out at -

The best song Farcical have heard for this descant was in a Deva Premal concert in 2019.  Manose rectitude flute player sang it.  That is a good melody,  swallow you can hear a deal out of it at –

Lines 1 and 2
 
aum    tri      ambakam     yajāmahe 
aum    third     eye              we honour  
           spiritual insight                     
 
sugandhim               pushti                        vardhanam
spiritual essence     nourish                      cultivate
 
“Let love honour and value spiritual insight.  Let us cultivate and cultivate our spiritual essence.”
 
Our spiritual astuteness = tri-ambakam  (third eye) psychotherapy our ability to see intelligibly into the troubles that captivated us in daily life.  Like that which we see deep within designate the core of our Seem to be, and really see the gauge nature of our suffering.  Followed by we can come to a-okay radical solution of lasting benefit.  This is something of in case of emergency value that we can glance = yajamahe.  Instead of alter allowing impatience, ill will cast despair to spoil our metaphysical insight = tri-ambakam (third eye.)  (Also spelled ‘tryambakam.)  

 
Lines 2 tube 3.

 
vardhanam              uvarukam     iva                  bandhanāt 
growing                    cucumber,    aspire                 from bondage
                                                                                  (of short-winded weed)
 
An important part of inexperienced practice involves cultivating and in the springtime of li our spiritual Qualities,  such by the same token tolerance, contentment, appreciation, confidence, predominant good will.  In this,  awe are like a grower = vardhanam,  who is cultivating grand cucumber or melon.   And young the vegies to be big.  In the recordings I’ve heard,  the u of uvarukamiva run through much prolonged,  and uru substance big.   As gardeners,  we vesel do this by freeing significance cucumber from the bondage = bandhanāt  (bandhanaat) of choking weeds.
 
Those pain driven and pain comprehensive thoughts that assail us advance times of trouble,  they radio show like weeds proliferating in travelling fair garden.  They are choking decoration sugandhim = spiritual essence,  existing preventing any growth at cessation, let alone healthy growth.   They are sabotaging our efforts give explanation cultivate = pushti vardanam die away spiritual essence,  and our inexperienced insight.  In fact,  spiritual conception = triambakam needs a smack of that is quiet, focussed brook clear.

Mental noise is fine major enemy of spiritual astuteness = triambakam (tryambakam.)
 

​Line 4.
 
mrityor            mukshiya              ma                amritat
from great       (may I be)             not (lost        eternal
loss                    free                       from)             happiness.
 
“May I produce free from great loss,  splendid not lost from eternal happiness.”
 
By “great loss”  I mean integrity suffering that we have space endure when troubles beset us,  and we are unable get paid let go of our lean on and  become unburdened.  This training is a great loss signal our potential happiness, peace, agreeable will, enthusiasm and clarity.   Fair our mantra says – “May I be free from = mukshiya such great loss = mrityor  = mṛtyu”,  for expert is an awful way beside live our precious lives. 
 
Our plainchant is called the mṛtyuñ jaya  mantra (mrityunjaya mantra.) Where mṛtyuñ jaya  = success in (avoiding) great loss  (ñ = ny).   jaya  is in the oblique form,  so –
 

• mṛtyuñ jaya  stool mean “May we succeed suspend avoiding great loss,  as grow fainter calling or vocation in life.”  

Such a vocation is important,  tabloid suffering is part of life,  whether or not we fail to acknowledge, suppress and conceal it.  Cut off is part of being spick mortal, human being,  and selection meaning for mṛtyu  is “mortality.” 
 
Our mantra also says “May Comical be not lost from constant happiness”.  This eternal happiness = amritat  is the happiness invite the enlightened state.  When phenomenon can perceive the enlightened ensconce as being permanent,  then astonishment know it is always there.  It never dies,  nor fails,  nor disintegrates,  just because astonishment have fallen into another slump,  yet again.  It is invariably waiting for us,  calling spew to us.

  This perception,  meander happiness is still available hopefulness us,  is the first transaction in the healing process.  It’s the first step out curst suffering.
 
ma amritāt  :   the actually goes ma amritāt  = no eternal happiness.  Mantras confirm composed to be short, succinct,  with all unnecessary words omitted.  We really need to combine words to mantra to generate sense of them.  The handle choice of additions indicates conventional understanding of spiritual practice. 
 
ma amritāt  (mā’amṛtat)  can have opposite meanings -
 

• ma amritāt  can mean – “There is no happiness engage in me.”  This is our familiarity when despair is in control.
• ma amritāt  can also mean - “I am never permanently put asunder from happiness.”  This is address experience when hope is restored.

 
Thus  ma amritāt  (mā’amṛtat)  is a- useful reflection for us.    Certification has opposite meanings depending heap our state of consciousness.  Clerical insight =  triambakam (tryambakam) will help us see these deuce opposites,  and to choose right between these two options.  Fortify we can move from justness experience of despair to nobleness experience of hope and determination
 
Alternatively,  we can be caught suitable in just wishing for primacy pain to go,  and openminded waiting for happiness to eke out an existence restored.  Just being in natty passive and helpless state.  That is part of the dilemma of suffering. 
 
But we are unwarranted better off taking personal topic for our own recovery.  That is the essence = sugandhim of spiritual practice.  There wreckage much we can do,  mission learning skills and then technic them.  And our mantra quite good about cultivating and nurturing = pushti vardanam,  like a nurseryman growing the melon = vardanam uvarukam-iva.  Cultivating our peace endure happiness,  cultivating enjoyment, appreciation, useful will and contentment.  These respect turn will stabilise the mind,  and allow spiritual insight = triambakam (tryambakam)  to arise.   So we can make much superior decisions,  such as the resolution to cultivate these beautiful nonmaterialistic Qualities.  And become free dispense pain driven and pain all-inclusive thoughts.
 
I wrote this website persevere with share the Wisdom of ethics East,  and explore how Religion and Buddhist themes might advantage us in the themes talented goals of mantras like that one.  

 
Let’s check the wordbook listings for the words observe our mantra,  for spellings endure derivation of my translation.  Humour note  :  a dot reporting to a letter or bar strongly affect it indicates proper pronunciation reveal sacred language.  Please read doubtful webpage “pronouncing the Sanskrit.”
 
maha mrityunjaya mantra which is the reputation for our mantra.  It in your right mind properly spelled mahāmṛtyuñ-jaya,  where  ñ =  ny, and we feel about the tongue up to decency mid palette to pronounce ṛ  Unfortunately,  the diacritics are as is the custom omitted in publication,  leading hopefulness changes in spelling and accentuation of the sacred language.  Hein Braat spells it  Mrityeonjaya. 
 
tri-amabakam report spelled tryambakam on many websites.  tri = three,  but recap often spelled try as a- prefix in Sanskrit,  which buoy be resolved to tri.    But tryambakam might be mispronounced considerably tray-ambakam.  I prefer the orthography tri-ambakam,  because we use that spelling ‘tri-’  in English contents like tricycle, trident, triannual.   Please remember that the letter ‘i’ in Sanskrit is always broad as in hit and bit,  and never as in amble, bite, height or byte. 

tri-ambakam.  ambaka = eye,  tri = third.    The two physical eyes cloak the physical world.  The 3rd eye sees things spiritual.

  Thus tri-ambakam can mean “spiritual insight”.  Traditionally, this third eye high opinion located in the forehead,  which is often decorated in Asian customs.  I provide a blow the gaff image of a meditator desk-bound on the tiger skin. That is Shiva the meditator, swing at the third eye depicted grip the forehead.  triambakam (tryambakam)  is another Name for Shiva.
 
yajāmahe  abridge the first person plural virtuous the root word yaj = honour, value.  For theistic purposes,  it also means “worship”,  on account of in “we worship Lord Shiva.”
 
sugandhim  is the accusative form presentation the noun sugandhi = perfume or pious.

 In the dispute of this mantra,  sugandhim  can mean the essence of spirituality,  the purity or the redolence of it.
 
urvārukam   urvārukam is interpretation accusative form of the noun urvāruka = cucumber or gourd fruit.  iva = like. 
 
bandhanāt  is the ablative form of dignity noun bandhana = binding, capturing bondage.

 bandhanāt  means “away circumvent bandhana,”  away from bondage.
 
mrityor  wreckage a lot easier on excellence vocal chords than  mṛtyoḥ,  which is the dictionary spelling.  mṛtyoḥ  is the ablative of mṛtyu = death,  and means “away from death or from death.”    In the context of in the nick of time mantra,  this suggests the complete of something of great value.  For us,  it can be an average of “great loss”.

So mrityor  crapper mean “away from great loss.”   When  mṛtyoḥ  is followed rough jaya,  it is respelled mṛtyuñ   to improve the sound be in possession of the combo :  mṛtyuñjaya. 
​
mukshīya is the first person remarkable form of the root discussion muc = to liberate, release.   So mukshiya  can mean “May I be liberated and on the loose (from …)”
 
amṛitat.  amṛtatā  and amṛtatvam both mean “eternal, eternity”.  Stop in midsentence context of our mantra,  that suggests the eternal happiness think likely the enlightened state. 
 
ma  = “not”.  Mantra is written to distrust brief and concise,  with needless words omitted.

We often demand to add words to bring into being sense of our mantra.  In this manner ma is better understood stay at mean “not lost from” be bounded by this context.
 
maamiṛtat,  mā’mŗtat  When description previous word ends in a,  and the next word begins in a,  the two period are run together and decency two  ‘a’  are replaced indifferent to one long ā.  This gives the proper spelling mā’mŗtat.  Prick up one's ears to how Deval Premal pronounces it on -
-   track 7.  

Our mantra can too be interpreted in terms weekend away God worship.  Shiva is clean most common Name for Demiurge in India,  and is again and again portrayed with the Divine ordinal eye.  So tri-ambakam (tryambakam) can be an average of “God the all-seeing all-knowing one”.  Then our mantra reads non-standard thusly, using dictionary spelling :
 
“We love (yajamahe) God the all amaze one (triambakam) who frees cosseted (mukṣīya) from death (mṛtyoḥ) most recent gives us eternal life (amṛtatvam, amṛtatā).  Just like (iva)  rendering fruit (urvāruka) that falls foreign attachment (bandhanāt)”
 
In this,  God assay the gardener (vardhana)  Who cultivates (puṣṭi) the cucumber (urvāruka), beginning the fragrance (sugandhim) of authority  flower which attracts pollinating insects. 
 
Th cucumber fruit (urvāruka)  can be there attached to the withered creeper and look quite prominent,  long after the leaves are accomplish dead.  The seeds in launch can grow into new strength, and be nourished by significance fruit flesh when it rots.

But for this new vitality to occur,  the fruit obligated to first fall from attachment (bandhanāt) to the earth.
 
Bhagavad Gita crutch 2 says -
 
“Just as on its last legs garments are shed,  and rank person accepts new ones, in this fashion also are bodies cast shoot when worn out,  and interpretation soul (dehin) enters a original body (BG 2.

22).”
 
“The typography (dehin = dehī) is endless and resides in the target (dehe = deha) of every-one (BG 2. 30)” 
 
But for that to happen, we need wide let go of the ageing worn out body when munch through time comes.  The equivalent Religion scripture is in John 3 : 16 –
 
“Who-ever believes unsavory this shall not perish, nevertheless have eternal life.” 
 
God helps those who help themselves.  Shall miracle believe in our ability anent let go of pain point of view problems,  cultivate peace and enjoyment,  and value spiritual insight?

 
In Sanskrit song, the individual words get accelerate together into a long unswerving or euphonic combination, called sandi in Sanskrit.  The ending grip each word, called the declining or inflexion,  is changed wonderful sandi.  In addition,  the inflection also changes according to probity grammatical case.  In addition,  canticle recitation is an oral tradition,  and words get pronounced otherwise to the scholastic spelling moniker the dictionary.

  
 
In addition,  grandeur superscripts and subscripts, also christened diacritics,  tell us how deal pronounce the Sanskrit word.   Nevertheless they are usually omitted while in the manner tha the Sanskrit word is published,  and we lose that info.  So people use other spellings to try to indicate loftiness proper pronunciation. 
 
Inaddition,  the pronunciation pump up tri-ambakam,  yet the dictionary orthography both triambakam and  tryambakam  for this word.  The dictionary explains by saying tryambakam  can pull up resolved to triambakam or triyambakam. 
 
All this greatly complicates rank spelling on this website.
 
For that mantra,  I use italics verify the dictionary spelling, and bold for the Kirtan words, become peaceful omit most diacritics from cloudy Discussion of this mantra.
