Dhanvantri & Mrithunjaya Mantras
If somebody is very sick or has health problems, these shlokas may be chanted in the house
for a peaceful atmosphere. On normal days also they can be chanted for overall good health.
By chanting them, your troubles may not vanish totally but the intensity of trouble is reduced
and you get the inner strength to face them with courage and confidence.

1 Dhanvantri Mantra
Om namo bhagavathae mahaa sudars(h)ana vaasudaevaaya dhanvantharayae amr(u)tha
kalas(h)a hasthaaya sarva bhaya vinaas(h)aaya sarva roga
nivaaraNaaya thrylokya padayae thrylokya nidhyae
s(h)ree mahaavishNu svaroopa s(h)ree danvanthri
svaroopa s(h)ree s(h)ree oushadha chakra naaraayaNa svaahaah

Obeisances unto the Supreme Bhaghavan known as Sudarshana Vasudev Dhanvantari, the
holder of the Kalasha full of nectar of imortality, who removes all fears, who removes all
diseases, the well wisher of the three worlds, and sustainer of the three worlds, He is
Vishnu swarupa, by the name Dhanvantri, empowered to heal the Jiva souls.

2 Yet another mantra praying for relief from illhealth is:
6

Achyuthaananda govinda naamochchaaraNa bhaeshajaath Nas(h)yanthi sakalaa rogaah
sathyam sathyam vadaamyaham Achyuthaananda govinda vishNo: naraayaNaamrutha
Rogaanmae naas(h)ayaas(h)aeshaan aas(h)u
dhanvantharae harae Achuthaananda govinda vishNo dhanvantharae harae
Vaasudaevaakhilaanasya rogaan naas(h)aya naas(h)aya

2 The following is traditionally chanted by family and friends for a person who is ill
or approaching death. This Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra is a lifegiving Mantra. In these days,
when life is very complex and accidents are an everyday affair, this Mantra wards off death
by accidents and fatal illnesses. It has a great curative effect for diseases pronounced
incurable by modern medicine; they are known to be cured by chanting this Mantra with
sincerity, faith and devotion. It is a weapon against disease. It is a healing Mantra to conquer
death.

Thryambakam yajaamahae sughanthim pushtivardhanam Urvaarukamiva bandhanaath
mrithyormuksheeya maamruthaath

We worship the threeeyed One (Lord Shiva) who is fragrant and who promotes
prosperity. May we be freed from the bondage of death even as a ripe cucumber falls from its
stalk, and not be deprived of immortality. All these mantras improve the positive effects in
the house of a sick person.
