A prayer for health and well-being based on Mahamrityunjay jaap and a Dhanvantari prayer, in the name of the person who is unwell. It supports, and never replaces, medical treatment. Pandit Mohit Tiwari Ji performs it in Ujjain, in your name or for a loved one.
Significance
Illness is hard for the person and also for the family. In Hindu tradition, people turn to Lord Shiva as Mahamrityunjay, "the conqueror of death", and to Lord Dhanvantari, remembered as the divine physician who emerged during the churning of the ocean, to pray for health and strength.
The Mahamrityunjay mantra, "ॐ त्र्यम्बकं यजामहे सुगन्धिं पुष्टिवर्धनम् । उर्वारुकमिव बन्धनान्मृत्योर्मुक्षीय मामृतात् ॥", is found in the Rigveda and is recited by devotees for well-being. The Dhanvantari prayer, "ॐ नमो भगवते वासुदेवाय धन्वन्तरये नमः", honours the healer and the healing arts.
Please read this clearly: this pujan supports, and never replaces, medical treatment. It makes no claim to cure, treat or prevent any disease, and we ask you to follow your doctor's advice in every case. Pandit Mohit Tiwari Ji performs the prayer with compassion in the name of the person for whom it is offered, with Ujjain's long tradition of Shiva devotion in the background.
