OM tryambakam yajaamahe

sugandhim puSHTi vardhanam

urvaarukamiva bandhanaan

mRtyor muksheeya maamRtaat

A great and powerful mantra for overcoming the bonds of believing we are limited by the physical body, by disease, by one lifetime, etc.: We worship Shiva, the three-eyed, by whose sweet, fragrant and nourishing grace, we find that as a cucumber is cleaved from its vine and yet remains whole, so will we be liberated by Self-realization. May we not be deprived of this Immortality.
