Everyone wants protection from illness, accidents, death, disaster, and even apocalypse (the end of civilization as we know it). Such protection needs to come from a spiritual level. Thus, this website provides mantras, stotras ("hymns"), and kavachas ("armor") of Mrityunjaya, who is Shiva as "the Conqueror of Death".
The best known aspect of Mrityunjaya is a Vedic mantra called the Mahamrityunjaya Mantra (also known as the Tryambakam Mantra) whose purpose is to ward off untimely death.
Besides the Vedic Mahamrityunjaya Tryambakam mantra, there are shorter mantras which are much easier to use for the same purpose. We recommend the Mrityunjaya 10 Syllable Mantra, to protect your life from dangers, and give you health and energy.
Mrityunjaya also provides protection in the form of Kavacha ("armor"). We present the Mritasanjivani Kavacha Stotra with audio you can download and listen to as needed.
The best known story about Mrityunjaya is that of Markandeya whom Shiva saves from death. Markandeya is the ultimate survalist, and he wrote a grateful hymn in praise of Shiva, the Mahamrityunjaya Stotra.
Last but not least, if you seek the protection of Mrityunjaya, you really should do the Shiva Boons procedure, because it's a very quick and easy way to gain the grace of Shiva to improve in all areas of your life.
