Mrutyunjaya Homam

Why Mrityunjaya Homam? 
Mrityunjaya Homam is a timeless Vedic ritual that is devoted to Lord Shiva, the chief deity of the homam, to achieve victory over your death, immunize your health ailments, avoid untimely demises and improve your spiritual growth. 

Who is Mrityunjaya? 
Mrityunjaya is another name of the mighty Lord Shiva. Mrityu literally means death, and Jaya is victory. Mrityunjaya is the one who has victory over death. Lord Shiva is called as Mrityunjaya because of His limitless power to conquer death. 

Benefits and Significance of Mrityunjaya Homam. 
Mrityunjaya Homam is performed by chanting the Maha Mrityunjaya(The Great Death Destroyer) mantra as described in the Rig Veda. This ancient mantra has the power to invoke three different aspects of Shiva: Rudra, Tryambaka and Mrityunjaya. Therefore, Mrityunjaya Homam serves as a life giver, health enhancer, energy booster and life protector. 

Victory over your death 
Markandeya, a devotee of Lord Shiva, was destined to die at an early age of sixteen. As he constantly invoked the blessings of Lord Shiva through Maha Mrityunjaya mantra, Markandeya was saved from his destined time of death and was endowed with eternal life. Mrityunjaya Homam is an effectual technique to appease Lord Shiva as Mritunjaya and win His abundant mercy and grace to overcome death. 

Immunizes your health ailments 
The most prominent offerings made while conducting Mrityunjaya Homam are Durva grass, sesame seeds, amrita herb, etc., which have high medicinal properties. So performing Mrityunjaya Homam relieves you from your health ailments and rejuvenates your body, mind and soul. This life-giver-homam is specially recommended for people suffering from terminal illness, accidents and other life threatening diseases as it improves their longevity and restores health. For aged-people in their death bed, Mrityunjaya Homam offers the possibility of extending their life time. 

Prevents premature death 
Mrityunjaya Homam is performed by chanting Maha Mrituynjaya Mantra, which creates divinely potent vibrations that secure you from all negative forces and danger and act as a protective shield. So, those who are likely to encounter untimely death due Graha Doshas(ill effects of certain planet combinations in your natal chart) or accidents, fatal diseases, etc., can immensely benefit from Mrityunjaya Homam as it destroys the root causes of such unfortunate happenings. Also, to overcome the fear of enemies and eliminate their ill-doings, Mrityunjaya Homam can be performed. 

Accelerates your spiritual growth 
Mrityunjaya Homam ignites the inner fire within you and eradicates the negative karma and its tendencies. This advances your spiritual growth and makes you powerful and happy as you are freed from carrying the baggage of the past. Performing Mrityunjaya Homam once in every year can liberate you from the ocean of samsara(cycle of birth and death).
