Mahamritunjay Mantra: The Mahamrityunjaya is an effective Sanskrit mantra that is chanted for healing, protection, and to get over one's fear of death. "Maha" denotes greatness, "Mrityu" denotes death, and "Jaya" denotes success or triumph. The Maha Mrityunjaya is therefore referred to as the "The greatest of all Death-conquering Mantra".
This miraculous mantra is dedicated to Lord Shiva, the supreme protector and herald of triumph, and is thought to have the power to defeat death as well as bestow inner calm, strength, and prosperity upon those who recite it. The Mahamrityunjaya mantra has been praised by the sages as being nothing less than the essence of the Vedas, the proverbial "treasure trove of knowledge and spiritual insight”. This mystical mantra is mentioned in the Sukta 59 of the seventh mandala of the Rigveda.
