ReplyDeleteNamaste Abhilash, hope all is well. Just want to share some very learnt information to you regarding the Maha Mritunjay mantra. according to My very learnt Guru, he told me that please don't put Om infront of maha Mirtunjay Mantra, because OM is three words, AUM meaning AAH UUUUU MAAA, this is a mantra by itself, and some mantra you can use om, example Ram and Krishna mantra because both of these dieties took form as human and came here on earth then they both exit, putting OM infront of their mantra brings life to the mantra, but Shiva, Hanuman , Ganesh and Mother Parvati never exit this earth that is why we don't have to put OM infront of their mantra. Om is a life saver. I always chant Tryambakam Yajamahe
