I dont know why but I feel the Mahamritunjaya mantra does not really state anywhere that it is to prolong life as most commonly thought.

The Mantra is more towards conquering the cycle of birth and death and to be immortal.

To conquer death means not to be born again..cos one can only die when one is born again.

Immortality need not mean prolonged living in the physical body.In immortality one needs to shed the physical body eventually.

So how does this Homa actually prolong life for a sick person?

Madamji,

It seems that you have not gone through the article in full. Nowhere it said that this homam will bestow upon aperson immortality. As u said a person will have to shed his/her physical body when time comes.

Homam is conducted not to prolong one life but to remove his fear of death.

My 2 bit:- there are ocassions in life because of several reasons including planetary positioning that can be termed as weak ( ghandam) where this mantra as well as homa makes a huge difference.

As someone has expressed it helps avert apamrtityu as well as akala mrityu.

I will go for enough to say that as long as you are reciting this extremey powerful triambak mantram , it is verily not posiible to lord yama or his people to come anywhere in the near vicinity.

Conviction, faith, surrender in the supreme lord shadashiva and the triambaka mantram is what creates miracles like in the case of markanteyar.

So one off homas while will defiently benefit might not create any miracle or magic but continuous repeation of the mantra and a homa after every 10,000 japa definitely will create miracles and magic. And this is for every mantra/ homa.
