It is said that sage Markandeya was destined to die at the age of sixteen. Unaffected by this fateful reality of his life, he grew up as an exemplary child performing all his duties diligently. He did all his spiritual disciplines ardently and was an utmost devotee of Lord Shiva. Once, while he was engrossed in the worship of the Shiva Linga, Yama, the god of death appeared to make his transition to the other realms. At that instant Markandeya hugged the Shiva Linga tightly, taking refuge with all his love. Right as Yama was hurling his rope to take away the soul of Markandeya, Lord Shiva appeared from the Lingam and violently kicked the lord of death and ordained that the young sage will live for many years and grace the world with wisdom and knowledge. Markandeya had won the supreme compassion and grace of the great Lord. In that state of extreme bliss that he was, he composed the Mrityunjaya stotram hailing Lord Shiva as the conqueror of death, bestower of victory and pristine health.

This stotram is a great cleanser of one's aura. Continous chanting or listening the chant bestows one with peace and invites the powers of healing and confidence from deep within oneself, where the supreme Lord Shiva resides.
