Wonderful Mantra to Reduce Sufferings We live in a world which works on the principle of Duality. Everything has two extremes: Good-Bad, Sorrow-Happiness, Hot-Cold, and so on. Such as a battery cannot work with just one pole; there has to be positive as well as negative, similarly good and bad have to be there. Hardship, suffering, problems, obstacles, disease are very much a part of life. Time is ever changing and each person has phases of sorrow and happiness, health and disease and so on. We live in a world where spiritual learning and development is through hardships and sufferings.

The great mantra dedicated to Lord Shiva as ‘Mrityunjaya’ is found in the Rig Veda. It is called the MahaMrityunjaya mantra or the Great Death-Conquering mantra. It is a mantra that has many names and forms. It is also called the Rudra mantra, referring to the furious aspect of Shiva; the Tryambakam mantra, alluding to Shiva's three eyes; and it is sometimes known as the Mrita-Sanjivini mantra because it is a component of the "life-restoring" practice given to the primordial sage Shukra after he had completed an exhausting period of austerity. The MahaMrityunjaya mantra is hailed by the sages as the heart of the Veda. Along with the Gayatri mantra it holds the highest place among the many mantras used for contemplation and meditation.
