Mahamrutyanjaya Mantra.
The Maha mrityunjaya mantra, also known as the Rudra Mantra or Tryambakam Mantra, is a verse of the Rigveda and Yajurveda. It is also mentioned in Samaveda and Atharvaveda.
The Mahamrityunjaya Mantra is addressed to Tryambaka, "The Three-eyed One", an epithet of Rudra who is identified with Shiva in Shaivism.
Om tryambakam yajamahe
Sugandhim pushtivardhanam
Urvarukamiva bandhanath
Mrutyor muksheeya maamruthaath
Meaning of this mantra
"We pray to Siva, fragrant and increaser of prosperity... Like a cucumber from its stem, might I be freed from death, not from deathlessness"
Hindus believe the mantra is beneficial for mental, emotional and physical health and consider it a moksha mantra which bestows longevity and immortality.
മഹാമൃത്യുഞ്ജയമന്ത്ര൦
ത്ര്യംബകം യജാമഹേ സുഗന്ധിം പുഷ്ടിവർദ്ധനം
ഉർവ്വാരുകമിവ ബന്ധനാത് മൃത്യോ മുക്ഷീയമാമൃതാത്
ഉർവാരുകം വെറും 15-20 gm മാത്രം വരുന്ന
"Squirting cucumber" എന്ന പേരിൽ
അറിയപ്പെടുന്ന വിഷാ൦ശമുള്ള കാട്ടു വെള്ളരിയാണ്.
അത് ഞെട്ടറ്റുപോകുന്നത് കൌതുകമുള്ള കാഴ്ചയാണ്.
അതുപോലെ അനായാസേന കർമ്മബന്ധനത്തിൽ നിന്ന്
മോചന൦ നൽകണേ എന്നാണ് മൃത്യുഞ്ജയമന്ത്രത്തിൻ്റെ സാരം.
மஹா மிருத்யுஞ்சய மந்திரம்
ஓம் த்ரயம்பகம் யஜாமஹே
ஸுகந்திம் புஷ்டிவர்த்தனம்
உர்வாருகமிவ பந்தனான்
ம்ருத்யோர் முக்ஷீய மாம்ருதாத்
"உர்வாருகம்"முளை 15-20 கிராம் மட்டுமே
"Squirting cucumber" என அறியப்படுகிறது
விஷம் இது ஒரு காட்டு வெள்ளரி.
அதிர்ச்சியாக இருக்கிறது இது ஒரு சுவாரஸ்யமான காட்சி.
அதே போல் அனயசேனாவும் கர்மபந்தனத்திலிருந்து
மீட்கும் தொகையை செலுத்துவது என்று பொருள்
மிருத்யுஞ்சயமந்திரத்தின் சாரம்.
SRI GOMATHYAMBA SAMETHA SREE SATHYAVAGEESWARA SWAMY TEMPLE
The temple situates in the midst of Karamana Agraharam. Lord Shiva is the main deity, and is worshipped as Sathyavageeswara, which means proponent of truth. With Goddess Parvathy, reverred as Gomathyambal and also Avudai Ambal. The temple is one of Shiva Parivar (family of Lord Shiva) consists the deities of Lord Ganesa, Lord Subramanya and Lord Ayyappa and the Nandikeswara, the bull in all splendor guards the temple entrance
The centuries old temple has its legend that Kharan who was a devout Shivabaktha had performed the “prathista” of the Shivalinga on the banks of Vanamala river which is now known as Karamana river.
The temple over a period of time grew in prominence became a centre of vedic tradition and religious activities. The temple had only the prathista of Shivling. As the villagers got affected by frequent fire carnage, the villagers conducted ‘Deva Prasnam’ in which it was revealed that Lord Shiva needs a consort and one Devi Idol is lying in the pond of Madurai Meenakshi Temple. The Devi Idol was brought in palanquin on the shoulders of devout bhakthas (the palanquin bamboo is still kept at the temple). On installing the Devi, Lord Shiva was satiated and became benevolent. The temple is the life breath of the village.
It is believed that the name of the place came to be called as Khara-mana now spelt as Karamana. Later Brahmin settlements came up with the Maharaja of Travancore, who took initiative to attract Vedic scholars from Tamilnadu to the capital city of Thirvananthapuram gifted lands for setting up homes for them.
Now the devotees of Karamana Gramam throng the temple in the morning and evening. Due to the benevolence of Siva Parivar, every family in the village is leading a satisfied and peaceful life.
