Mahamrityunjaya Mantra is considered to be the most powerful Shiva Mantra, in Sanskrit verse from the Rig Veda. This eternally mantra is also a part of the Yajurveda, which cures your physical well-being and also removes fears by regenerating your physical, mental, and emotional state holistically. Also known as the Triyambaka Mantra, it is believed that it is a moksha mantra addressed to Lord Shiva, seeking his blessing to promote your longevity and prevent you and your loved ones from untimely death, also warding off evils like jealousy, greed, calamities.
English Translation:
We worship the three-eyed One,
who is fragrant and who nourishes all.
Like the fruit falls off from the bondage of the stem,
may we be liberated from death, from mortality.
