The Mahamrityunjaya Mantra (or “Great Death-conquering Mantra”) is a Sanskrit verse recorded in the Rigveda.
We Meditate on the Three-eyed reality
Which permeates and nourishes all like a fragrance.
May we be liberated from death for the sake of immortality,
Even as the cucumber is severed from bondage to the creeper.
I felt the atmosphere and weight of this, even before I had looked this up. I sensed it had to do with death. And that is the power of this rendition by Niska Fitz.
