Mahamrityunjaya Jaap vidhi, step by step

1. 1Choosing the count and sankalp. The family chooses the number of chants. The sankalp is taken with the name, gotra and intention for the person on whose behalf the jaap is done.
2. 2Opening pujas. Ganesh puja, Kalash sthapana, Navagraha puja and Shiva invocation are performed.
3. 3Shivling abhishek. A short abhishek of the Shivling with Gangajal and milk is offered at the start of the anushthan.
4. 4Daily jaap. The Pandits chant the Mahamrityunjaya mantra on rudraksha malas each day, maintaining a record towards the total count.
5. 5Dashansh havan. On completion, a havan is performed, traditionally with one-tenth of the jaap count as ahutis, or a shorter havan as agreed.
6. 6Tarpan, marjan and purnahuti. Where followed, tarpan and marjan are performed, and the havan closes with purnahuti.
7. 7Aarti and conclusion. Shiva aarti is performed, prasad is distributed and the family receives blessings.
