The Maha Mrityunjaya Homam, also known as the Sanjevani Homam, is a hallowed ritual dedicated to the only Lord of Death, Lord Shiva, (with the purpose of) protecting its devotees from premature death. The homam is performed to attain “Jaya” or victory over “Mritya” (death). It is said that those who worship Lord Shiva with unshakable devotion and flawlessly chant the 21 mantras of the homam will secure victory over death.

But the successful completion of this sacred homam requires the participation of an accomplished Vedic pandit, who plays a vital role in fostering peace and harmony within the household and among family members through this homam.

Best Days In 2023 To Perform Mrityunjaya Homam

This homam is a powerful ritual that can relieve untimely death in life for those who perform it. 

And there are certain days that are considered particularly auspicious for performing this ritual. 

• On Sundays, for example, the sun god Lord Suryanarayan holds sway, and it is believed that by performing the homam on this day, you can tap into the god Surya’s power to enhance your health. And for those observing a fast, a single meal is allowed on this day. 
• Mondays are sacred to Lord Shiva, and it is said that the blessings of Lord Shiva can be invoked by performing the homam on this day.
• Apart from these two days, the month of Shravan, Maha Shivratri, and Masa Shivratri can also serve as a pious time to perform this ritual, as it is held that Lord Shiva is particularly benevolent during this time. 

Moreover, take a look at Maha Shivratri Festival

But there is another reason why the Maha Mrityunjaya Homam is so essential. In some cases, a devotee’s horoscope may indicate the presence of Maraka Dosha, a harmful influence that can cause hardships and the death of someone close. In such cases, performing the homam is said to neutralize the adverse effects of this dosha and bring peace and prosperity to the person’s life.
