This training is meant for everyone to learn, so we can all implement and benefit from this powerful Yajna (healing fire). As a daily practice, this Yajna can help you experience victory and success in all aspects of life, and help heal those in need.
The Maha Mrityunjaya Yajna consists of reciting Mantra (sound vibrations)
while making offerings of ghee to the fire.
The proper sequence of Mantra for this Yajna is printed below,
along with a brief description of each Mantra.
A few things to keep in mind:
Maintain a daily Agnihotra practice.
You can perform the Maha Mrityunjaya Yajna at any time of the day.
Offer ghee with the right hand while uttering Swaaha, and offer all of the ghee in the spoon.
If you are performing the Maha Mrityunjaya Yajna with Agnihotra, make the Agnihotra offering either before the first Vyahruti or between the second and third Vyahruti mantra.
Learn the Agni Aawahan Mantra (below) and recite this Mantra aloud when you perform this Yajna.
Shower beforehand, avoid wearing black and avoid during menstruation.
Upon concluding the Yajna, it is recommended to meditate for 15 minutes.

Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra
AUM Tryam-bakaie Yajaa-mahe
Su-gan-dhim Pushti Var-dhanam
Ur-vaa-ruka-miva Ban-dha-naan
Mrit-tyor Muk-sheeya Maam-amru-taata | Swaahaa
Purpose: This Mantra impacts the three-fold aspect of creation (creation, sustenance, dissolution). As living beings, we are sustained and bound by the vines of life; water, air, food, light, and energy. We are subject to its limitations, including being bound to the cycles of birth and death. This Mantra enables us to break free from these limitations, to achieve victory over the limitations of life and death, and to become one with our immortal Self.
Purpose: These seven verses describe the entirety of the Vedic body of knowledge. Revealed at the time of creation, the Vedas is a science of life that describes the evolution of the soul and the process for the individual soul to merge with the Universal Consciousness. It describes the Fivefold Path as a universal path for all, leading one to the state of Unity with Universal Consciousness.
Purpose: Prayer to surrender to the Truth, the path of Truth, and the community that upholds Truth.
