Guest guest Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 What is lom-bi-lom? It is a way of chanting the Mahamrityunjaya mantra with a samput. As readers might know, a samput is a set of "extra" mantra(s) added either to the beginning or the end or both of the standard recitation to lengthen one's chanting.The lom-bi-lom is a samput added to the Mahamrityunjay mantra , to both ends - the beginning and the end of the mantra, BUT the endingsamput is the EXACT reverse of the beginning samput.The samput is "Om Jum Sah Om Bhur Bhuvah Svah."So when chanted with the Mahamrityunjay mantra it goes like this:Om Jum Sah Om Bhur Bhuvah SvahTryambakam yajamahe sugandhim pushti vardhanamUrvarukamiva Bandhanaan Mrtyor mukshiya maamrtatSVAH BHUVAH BHUR OM SAH JUM OM.Notice how the last line is the exact reverse of the first.BTW, Swamiji has approved for us to chant the Mahamrityunjaya mantra with the lom-bi-lom samput. So hope you are reading this dear efficient Karen and will organize for this starting the NEXT Saturday, March 19.Jai ShivaNandaJai Maa! Jai Shiva! Jai Swamiji! ****************************************************** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really really like this!<<< I've been reciting the Mahamrityunjaya mantra almost constantly since learning it a couple of weeks ago for Prayer Club. I must say that I'm already starting to sound like an old pro. Although I have read the english translation, I still do not know exactly what I am saying word for word. Could someone provide me with the meanings of each individual word? Also.... Is there a recording of the lom-bi-lom samput that I could listen to somewhere so I'll know what that is supposed to sound like? What are the meanings of these words? Help out a newcomer!
