Overview
Mahamrityunjaya Jaap for families in Shivpur
Mahamrityunjaya Jaap is the repeated chanting of the Tryambakam mantra from the Rig Veda (7.59.12) and Yajurveda, addressed to Lord Shiva as the conqueror of death. It is performed as an anushthan: a sankalp is taken in the devotee's name, and one or more Pandits chant the mantra a fixed number of times, usually on a rudraksha mala, before concluding with a havan.
Shivpur is on the western side of Varanasi, beyond the busier central areas. Once more semi-rural, it has grown into a residential area with new colonies, independent houses, apartment buildings, schools and markets.
ॐ त्र्यम्बकं यजामहे सुगन्धिं पुष्टिवर्धनम्।
उर्वारुकमिव बन्धनान्मृत्योर्मुक्षीय माऽमृतात्॥
Oṁ tryambakaṁ yajāmahe sugandhiṁ puṣṭivardhanam, urvārukam iva bandhanān mṛtyor mukṣīya mā'mṛtāt.
Planning your puja in Shivpur
Allow extra travel time if the Pandit is coming from central Varanasi.
Share your exact location pin, as newer colonies can be hard to navigate.
Courtyards and terraces in independent houses suit a larger havan.
For Vahan puja, park the vehicle in an open space with room around it.
Share the name, gotra and, if relevant, the person for whom the jaap is being performed.
Decide the jaap count with the Pandit, as it determines duration and the number of Pandits.
