Guest guest Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 Respected Rajya Laxmi Is there a Western point of view to 'mrtyunjaya mantra' which is found in taittariya, vaajasaneyi and maadhyandina shaakhaas of yajur veda? or to the practice of akhanda japa or homa? I would certainly like to be elucidated on this.
