About the Maha Mrityunjaya Akshara Mantra

The Maha Mrityunjaya Akshara Mantra — the concise seed (beej) form of the death-conquering mantra of Lord Shiva.

Meaning

The compact beej form — "Om Haum Joom Sah" (and its expansions) — condenses the power of the Maha Mrityunjaya prayer into seed syllables that invoke Shiva's healing, protective force.

Benefits

Chanted for healing, longevity, protection from accidents and untimely death, and relief from fear and disease; used when a shorter, repeatable form of the Mrityunjaya is desired.
