Mahamritunjaya Mantra

The Maha Mrityunjaya mantra is hailed by the sages  as the heart of the Vedas, this verse is derived from the Yajurveda  (TS 1.8.6.i; VS 3.60)  

Om Tryambakam Yajamahe Sugarndhim Pushtivardhanam Urdvarukamiva Bandhanan Mrityor Mukshiya Maamrtat

We meditate on the thhree-eyed reality, which permeates and nourishes all like a pure fragrance.  May we be liberated from death for the sake of immortality, even as the cucumber is severed from its bondage to the vine.
