Expansion and discussion of a translation from the Sanskrit of the famous
mantra [word/sound prayer] by/to Shiva [the person/principle for
The Father consciousness of God’s Absoluteness in us] for peace and
prosperity and for conquering fear of death

OM[AUM} Triambakam yajamahi (We worship God as a Trinity and we see Him,
Her, It
as a threefold Oneness of Truth)

Hari OM is AUM (God is the power and the principle of the righteousness of
our Father in heaven, His/Her/our Son, and their Holy Spirit)

OM [AUM] ParamBrahman (God as the creator of our souls)
OM {AUM} ParamIshwaram (God as the sustainer and preserver of our souls)
OM {AUM} ParamAhamsa (God as the Holy Spirit inside of our soul’s
individualities)

Sugandhim Pushti-Vardaman (we are nourished, God, by the condition and
fragrance of your sweetness)

Urvarukamiva bandhanan (even as the creeper vine entangles itself and tries
to bind us to the
Wordly obstacles our souls face)

Mrityor mukshiya mamritat (Lead us from death [here on earth] to the
consciousness of the eternal freedom, salvation,
And liberation of our souls in heaven)


Translation of the key word for God in the prayer:

OM is the underlying kernel sound of God’s creative sound/thought power, it
expands into a four by four part eternal/mortal sound/thought
…A..U...M… each letter sound follows the sound of a creative, preservative,
sanctifying thought of God and self thinking of itself/ourself in itself.

See the Mandukya Upanishad prayer/poem for much more on this.
