We worship the Three-eyed Lord who is fragrant and who nourishes and nurtures all beings. As is the ripened cucumber (with the intervention of the gardener) freed from its bondage (to the creeper), may he liberate us from death for the sake of immortality. Born with the blessings of Shiva, the child Markandeya was destined to be a seeker of truth, but also cursed with an early death. But in facing that moment, Markandeya embraced the Shivalinga, proving his ardent devotion to the supreme lord and changing his destiny forever.Showcased in this pendant is the mantra composed by Markandeya to overcome deadly diseases, untimely death and the gain of worldly pleasures. Three garlands of gold carry the text of the Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra, capturing their sacred essence in the most precious of metals.It is the trident in honour of Lord Shiva and the Om at the centre of the design that truly increases the healing powers of this piece. So that when you wear it, you avert all dangers from your path and ensure success in all endeavours.
