Om Tryambakam Yajamahe Sugandhim Pushtivardhanam Urvarukamiva Bandhanan Mrityor Mokshiya Mamritat
OM, we worship and adore you, O three-eyed one, O Shiva. You are sweet gladness, the fragrance of life, who nourishes us, restores our health, and causes us to thrive. As, in due time, the stem of the cucumber weakens, and the gourd is freed from the vine, so free us from attachment and death, and do not withhold immortality.
In light of current world events, at a time when humanity is sorely afflicted by war, poverty, starvation and threat of diseases, both natural and man-made (see my Swine Flu Page on this topic!), I feel it is essential for all of us to remember that
No disease, no matter how fearful, can stand before the Power of God!
The surest way to lower one's immune system is to be in fear, and this is scientifically proven. So disconnect from the media hype and become fearless like Lord Shiva! Do not be coerced or bullied into taking dangerous vaccines and medicines. Mother Nature has all the healing herbs we need, and God has all the power to protect and heal us. Swami Sivananda wrote in one of his books that the best thing you can do for your health is to never see a doctor! And that from a man who was a medical doctor himself!
Trust in Nature's Cure and Trust in God! The beautiful verses below praise Lord Shiva as the doctor of the world and the only medicine to our pain. Repeating them every morning will get you Lord Shiva's protection from all disease and fill your heart with peace and love.
Morning Prayer to Lord Shiva Pratah Smarami Bhavabhitiharam Suresam Gangadharam Vrshabhavahanam Ambikesam Khatvanga Sulavaradabhayahastamisam Samsara Roga Hara Maushadhamadvitiyam
Translation: In the morning I remember Suresa (the Lord of all deities), who dispels all fear, rides a bull and is the husband of Ambika; who holds a Shula (weapon) in His hand, shows fearlessness through his posture and is the only medicine of the diseases of the world (the pain of the wheel of birth and death).
In the morning I bow to Girisa who is the better half of Girija (Parvati, the mountain born); who is the cause of creation, protection, destruction of the world; who is the oldest deity and the Lord of the world; who conquers all hearts, and is the charming and sole medicine of the diseases of the world.
In the morning I adore Shiva, who is the endless one, the first being and the only one; who can be known through Vedanta and is the greatest being; whose being cannot be disintegrated by the variety of names and forms affiliated to Him nor corespond to the six stages of life (from birth to death); who is the only medicine for the diseases of the world.
Whoever reads these three verses every day remembering Shiva in the morning gets rid of the pain of rebirth and is protected by Sambhu (Lord Shiva, the Beneficient One). Power of MantraIn the VoidChakras
