Spiritual Healing: Namatraya Mantra for Overcoming All Diseases


Our Shastras have provided us with many simple yet effective remedies to the myriads of problems we face in life. Good health is regarded highly by every living being and ill health or disease is attributed to certain karmic residues of our past births.

The scriptures prescribe various methods of spiritual healing for every disease - offering poojas and homams, mantra chanting and yantras energized with appropriate mantras are some of the most common pariharams.

Mantra chanting is the easiest of these remedies since it involves neither any expenditure nor special effort or preparation to practice it. Mantra can be chanted throughout the year in all circumstances, provided good hygiene is observed in food and other habits.

The Agni Purana mentions a powerful mantra which is supposed to be an effective cure for all diseases. The God of Fire, Agni gives an assurance that when this mantra is chanted with faith and devotion, one can overcome all diseases.  This mnatra is called as the 'Nama Traya Mantra' which means the mantra of three names. The mantra is:
Achyuta Ananta Govinda
अच्युत अनंत गोविन्द


The mantra can be expanded and chanted also as:
 

Om Achyutaya Namaha
ॐ अच्युताय नमः  

Om Anantaya Namaha
ॐ अनंताय नमः

Om Govindaya Namaha
ॐ गोविन्दाय नमः

Chant this mantra 108 times every day and you can experience its efficacy for yourself. When you suffer an injury or a sprain, you can chant this mantra by placing your right palm on the affected area and chant this mantra as many times as you can. You will surely be relieved from the pain and also gain a sense of solace. The mantra can also be applied to strengthen the will power of weak patients. Chant this mantra while affectionately carressing your hand over the head or spine of the person and you will see a remarkable improvement in the patient's psychological condition soon.
 
Let us make good use of this maha mantra described in the Agni Purana and reap its immense benefits in safeguarding our precious health.
