Gayatri and Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra – Meditation
This meditation will guide you through kriya (cleansing practice), mudra (sealing practice) & visualisation to embody the meaning of these two essential mantras.
The Gayatri Mantra is to connect to the light of purification and spiritual guidance.
om bhur bhuvah svah, tat savitur varenyam, bhargo devasya dhimahi, dhiyo yo nah pracodayat
“Earth, Ether, Cosmos let the most Divine Light guide my thoughts, intellect and intuition.”
“I meditate on the most radiant light of the Divine from which issues the triple world, physical, subtle and celestial, the light so bright that it removes all obstacles and impurities, inspiring and enlightening our minds.”
The Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra as a prayer to rejuvenate and heal ourselves while practicing, reinforcing our dedicated intention to practice.
om tryambakam yajamahe sugandhim pusti-vardhanam urvarukam iva bandhanan mrtyor muksiya ma ‘mrtat
“We meditate on the 3 eyed one – Shiva/Rudra which permeates and nourishes like a fragrance. Shelter and bless me with health and immortality. Liberate me from the clutches of death, even as a cucumber is effortlessly separated from the bondage to the creeper.”
