Doug sent this link to the Mahamrityunjaya Mantra - Sacred Sound Choir - Ancient Chant For Healing & Peace (Core Energy).
The chant consists of repeating the three words of the Mantra 108 times.
Mahamrityunjaya Mantra is one among the oldest and most important Mantra's in Indian mythology and spirituality. This mantra belongs to Lord Shiva. It is a combination of three Hindi language words i.e. ‘Maha’, which means great, ‘Mrityun’ means death and ‘Jaya’ means victory, which turns into conquer or victory over death.
This mantra is addressed to Shiva for warding off untimely death. It is also chanted while smearing Vibhuti over various parts of the Body and utilized in Japa or Homa (havan) to get desired results. While its energy protects and guides the initiates, a mantra re-links consciousness to its deeper and more abiding nature, and repetition of the mantra constitutes Japa, the practice of which develops concentration that leads to a transformation of awareness. Whereas the Gayatri Mantra is meant for purification and spiritual guidance, the Mahamrityunjaya Mantra is meant for healing rejuvenation and nurturance.
