Rameshwar is named after Lord Ram, who is the incarnation of Visnu who represents perfect Dharma. Aries is the Sun’s
exaltation, this is where the Sun has the most vitality, vigor and ability to express its energy. This is a place of power and
control, a place of leadership, kings and generals. The Sun significates our dharma, it is concerned with righteousness,
justice and truth. The Mantra is Aum Namah Shivaya, Namo Rameshwaraya.
Somanath is the Moon’s exaltation. It is the place of abundance and fulfillment. It is the place of Rasa, the nectar, good
taste. Also health, the strength of Ojas, the immune system. The mantra is Aum Namah Shivaya Namo Somanathaya.
Nageshwar is named after the Snake lord. According to Jaimini it is the exaltation place of Rahu. It has the power to reach
the masses, the power to manipulate communication. The mantra is Aum Namah Shivaya Namo Nagesheshwaraya.
Omkareshwar is named after omkar (the sound of Aum). Patanjali says, “ Om is the word denoting God (Ishwara) 2:27.
Constant repetition of Om and meditation on its meaning [is surrender to God] 2:28. From that practice, the consciousness
turns inwards and obstacles are overcome 2:29.” Omkareshwar is the jyotir lingam which represents the Lord in the form of
omkar. Sometimes Aum is connected with Siva as it is the primal sound of which all others arise. Sometimes it is connected
with Ganesh as it comes before all other words in prayer. Sometimes it is used as a transcendental word for denoting the
divine, or the primal and vibration of the universe. Cancer is Jupiter’s exaltation and thereby is the strength and blessings of
the Guru. It is the place of the highest use of the Dhi shakti, the power of intelligence. The mantra is Aum Namah Sivaya
Namo Omkareshwaraya.

Dhusaneshwar is the Lord of Tapasvi who lives in the jungles or remote areas. It has the power to forgive you of
earlier sins. Dhusaneshwar vowed to forgive everyone. The mantra is Aum Namah Sivaya Namo Dhusaneshwaraya.
Malikarjuna is the greatest bhakta. It is the exaltation of Mercury. The mantra is Aum Namah Shivaya Namo
Malikarjunaya.
Mahakala is Shiva as great Time. It is the exaltation place of Saturn as the governor of time. Saturn is the son of
Chaya, the shadowy one, who has all the curses. Jyotishis go to this Lingam to get the knowledge of time,
Varahamahira used to worship at this Lingam. A watch is the yantra of Mahakala, and therefore should not be worn
on the right hand, the right hand belongs to Jupiter, the left hand belongs to Venus. The mantra is Aum Namah
Sivaya Namo Kaleshwaraya.
Vaidyanth is Shiva as the divine physician. Vaidya is the Sanskrit word for doctor which literally means one who has
the knowledge, and nath means lord. From the Vedas, Rudra was called the first physician, Shiva is the modern day
form of Rudra. Vaidyanath has an eight house connection being associated with Scorpio the natural ruler of the
eighth house. It is healing that has to do with holistic modalities working on the spiritual, and psychological as well
as physical level of healing. The mantra is Aum Namah Shivaya Namo Vaidyanathaya.
Vishwanath is the lord of all gods. According to Jaimini, Sagittarius is the exaltation of Ketu. It is a place of spiritual liberation.
Ashes are taken to Kasi Vishwanath to get liberation. The mantra is Aum Namah Shivaya Namo Vishwanathaya.
Bhimashankar is Shiva as the great warrior. Capricorn is the exaltation of Mars. Shiva has always incarnated with Lord Visnu
whenever He can be of service. In the Ramayana Shiva incarnated as Hanuman, the hero of the epic. In the Mahabarata, Shiva
incarnated as the great warrior Bhima. The mantra is Aum Namah Shivaya Namo Bhimashankaraya.
Kedarnath is located in the high Himalyayas. Aquarius is the sign of Saturn and Rahu. It is a sign of ingenuity.
Triambakeshwar is the three eyed Lord. Pisces is the exaltation place of Venus. Venus did Tapasya (hung from one leg in a tree for
twenty years) to have the power to bring back to life. On a material level Venus brings us back with the sperm and ovum (shukra
dhatu), love, and the sexual act. This is why the 7 th house is the house of rebirth. Spiritually, Venus brings us back again and
again to get moksa (liberation). One will come with Venus uchha when ready for liberation, it is She who is exalted in the last sign
of the zodiac. Bija Aum Jum Sa. The mantra associated with Triambakeshwar is the Mritanjayi mantra which cures disease and
asks that one be made ready for liberation like a ripe fruit ready to fall off the vine.

Mrtyunjaya Great Victory over Mortality Mantra
• It is called the Rudra mantra, referring to the furious aspect of Shiva; the
Tryambakam mantra, alluding to Shiva's three eyes; and its is sometimes
known as the Mrita-Sanjivini mantra because it is a component of the "life-
restoring" practice given to the primordial sage Shukra after he had
completed an exhausting period of austerity. The Maha Mrityunjaya mantra
is hailed by the sages as the heart of the Veda. Along with the Gayatri
mantra it holds the highest place among the many mantras used for
contemplation A prayer to invoke the completion of the practice of The
Mahamrtyunjaya is among the most sacred of Sanskrit mantras.
• Its continuous chanting, along with meditation on its meaning, can create
the power to overcome all obstacles, including the fear of death and all
negativity.
• letting go of the illusion of limitation (of death).
• From time immemorial, this mantra has been chanted for easing afflictions
such as:
• Ignorance, ego and the six inner enemies/weaknesses. (6th house)
• “Mental” - Diseases like confusion, fear, sorrow, disappointments, pain, etc.
• “Physical Diseases” - All bodily diseases.
• Maha Mrtyunjaya is the great mantra for overcoming fears, negative energy,
and ultimately death, helping our souls transition to the next phase on the
path. Overcomes TAMAS.

Indo-European language, composed by Rishis (see session one)

• TRYAMBAKKAM refers to the Three eyes of Lord Shiva. 'Trya' means 'Three'
and 'Ambakam' means eyes. These three eyes or sources of enlightenment
are the Trimurti or three primary deities, namely Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva
and the three 'AMBA' (also meaning Mother or Shakti' are Saraswati,
Lakshmi and Gouri. Thus in this word, we are referring to God as
Omniscient (Brahma), Omnipresent (Vishnu) and Omnipotent (Shiva). This
is the wisdom of Brihaspati and is referred to as Sri Dattatreya having three
heads of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva.
• YAJAMAHE means, "We sing Thy praise".
• SUGANDHIM refers to His fragrance (of knowledge, presence and strength
i.e. three aspects) as being the best and always spreading around.
Fragrance refers to the joy that we get on knowing, seeing or feeling His
virtuous deeds.
• PUSTIVARDHANAM: Pooshan refers to Him as the sustainer of this world
and in this manner, He is the Father (Pater) of all. Pooshan is also the inner
impeller of all knowledge and is thus Savitur (see Gayatri) or the Sun and
also symbolizes Brahma the Omniscient Creator. In this manner He is also
the Father (Genitor) of all.

• URVAAROKAMEVA: 'URVA' means "VISHAL" or big and powerful or deadly.
'AAROOKAM' means 'Disease'. Thus URVAROOKA means deadly and
overpowering diseases. (The CUCUMBER interpretation given in various
places is also correct for the word URVAROOKAM). The diseases are also of
three kinds caused by the influence (in the negative) of the three Guna's
and are ignorance (Avidya etc), falsehood (Asat etc as even though Vishnu is
everywhere, we fail to perceive Him and are guided by our sight and other
senses) and weaknesses (Shadripu etc. a constraint of this physical body and
Shiva is all powerful).
• BANDANAAN means bound down. Thus read with URVAROOKAMEVA, it
means 'I am bound down by deadly and overpowering diseases'.
• MRITYORMOOKSHEYA means to deliver us from death (both premature
death in this Physical world and from the never ending cycle of deaths due
to re-birth) for the sake of Mokshya (Nirvana or final emancipation from re-
birth). All kinds of death and tamas.
• MAAMRITAAT means 'please give me some Amritam (life rejuvinating
nectar). Read with the previous word, it means that we are praying for some
'Amrit' to get out of the death inflicting diseases as well as the cycle of re-
birth.
