Did you know that.............

 

The Mahamrityunjaya mantra was taught by Lord Shiva to

Sukracharya the preceptor of the demons after he

succeeded in the impossible test of hanging upside

down from a tree for twenty years (Vimsottari dasa

period) with smoke blowing into him from a fire lit

beneath. Even Brihaspati was shocked at the prospect

of such a terrible penance and calmly settled to

observe Sukracharya accept the challenge of Indra and

succeed. 

 

After the penance, Lord Shiva taught the

Mahamrityunjaya mantra to Sukracharya, who under very

compelling circumstances had to teach this to the son

of Brihaspati and that is how the devas also got the

mantra. This mantra was given (sruti) to Vasistha

Maharishi for the welfare of this world.

 

God bless you all with peace, good health and lots and

lots of peace!
