History of the Mantra

The Mahamrityunjaya mantra appeared in the Vedic age. In the legend it is said that in the forest lived Saint Mriakanda and his wife Marudvati. They had no children, and they lived in the hope of still procreating. Lord Shiva heard their prayers and invited them to make a choice:

As a result, the couple chose the first option, and soon they had a boy named Markandeya. As time passed, the boy grew up, and his parents told him about the contract with Shiva. Every year, Markandeya cultivated in yoga and on his 16th birthday he went to the temple and prayed. The god of death Yamaraja came to take him, but the boy did not back down, he embraced the lingam and prayed. Yamaraj threw a loop of death, and she wrapped the lingam, which angered Shiva and he killed him. As a result, Markadea remained under the protection of Shiva forever young. Until now, the spirit of a guy is present in the universe and helps people to find a righteous path. That's how the mahramityunjaya mantra appeared, which helps to defeat death.
