We worship the Three-Eyed Lord Shiva, who is fragrant and nourishes all beings. May He liberate us from death and suffering unto immortality, even as a cucumber is severed from its stalk.

Scriptural & Metaphysical Significance
Revealed to Rishi Markandeya in the Rigveda (Mandala 7, Hymn 59, Verse 12), the Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra (also celebrated as the Mrita-Sanjivani and Rudra Gayatri) is the foremost life-bestowing chant of the Vedic tradition. Addressing Lord Shiva as Tryambaka (the Three-Eyed Reality whose third eye pierces illusion), it invokes divine nourishment (Pushti) to liberate the soul from psychological fear, severe physical distress, and the cycle of mortality—just as a ripe cucumber naturally and painlessly detaches from its stem.
