Like the fruit falls off from the bondage of the stem, may we be liberated from death, from mortality.| Repetition of the mantra constitutes Japa, the practice of which develops concentration that leads to a transformation of awareness. It is prescribed to chant the Mahamrityunjaya Mantra 108 times. The Vedic Mathematical explanation of the number ‘108’ is as associated with the distance of the Sun and the Earth and also the Earth and the Moon which is 108 times the diameter of the Sun and the Moon respectively. Word-by-word meaning of the Mahamrityunjaya Mantra is as follows:  ॐ aum = is a sacred/mystical syllable.  त्र्यम्बकम् tryambakam = the three-eyed one  त्रि tri = three अम्बक ambaka = eye  यजामहे yajāmahe = we worship, we sacrifice  सुगन्धिम् sugandhim = the fragrant, the virtuous, the supreme being  पुष्टिवर्धनम् puṣṭi + vardhanam = पुष्टि puṣṭi = nourishment, wealth, perfection वर्धन vardhana = increase, growth  उर्वारुकम् urvārukam = fruit, a kind of cucumber इव iva = as (in devanagari written together as उर्वारुकमिव urvārukamiva)  बन्धनान् bandhanān = from bondage, from the stalk/stem  Note: bandhanāt here means "from the stem". Thus, read with urvārukam iva, "as a fruit from the stem"; the etymologically prior meaning of "from bondage" resonates here as the fruit is a simile for the worshipper being released from the bondage of death,  मृत्योः mṛtyoḥ = from death  मुक्षीय mukṣīya =may I be freed/released (become मृत्योर्मुक्षीय mṛtyormukṣīya)  मा ऽमृतात् mā 'mṛtāt = not (mā) from immortality (amṛtāt) (negative particle mā is constructed together with mukṣīya. the last two words become मा ऽमृतात् mā-amṛtāt) --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/arvindramas/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/arvindramas/support
