Healing / maha mtryunjaya
"This powerful mantra of Shiva the Rudra removes physical, mental, and celestial ailments. Like Gayatri, this is an all- purpose mantra and is commonly prescribed by astrologers, vaidyas (medicine men), and Tantrics. Japa of 125,00 times removes the fear of death, even if the condition of the ailing person is so severe that the doctors become helpless and no medicine works. After japa, homa should be done with 12,500 repetitions of the mantra and an offering of black sesame seeds with each. Mahamrityunjaya is a name of Shiva, the Lord of Destruction. As Mahakala he is Lord of Death. Meditation on the Shiva with four arms is necessary. In his Mahamrityunjaya form, Shiva is sitting in a pond. Two of his arms are holding water pots, from which he is pouring water over his head. His third hand on the right side is doing a mala, and in his fourth hand on the left side he has another water pot, from which water is constantly issuing. Sometimes one of his right hands is shown in a blessing mudra (gesture). Mahamrityunjaya Mantra is supposed to give victory over death, suffering, and disease. It removes obstacles, creates a suitable environment, and bring happiness to life." Tools for Tantra p. 43, Harish Johari "Mahamrityunjaya Mantra (maha-mrityun-jaya) is one of the more potent of the ancient Sanskrit mantras. Maha mrityunjaya is a call for enlightenment and is a practice of purifying the karmas of the soul at a deep level. It is also said to be quite beneficial for mental, emotional, and physical health. It is said that whoever recites this mantra everyday will not die an early death." http://www.answers.com/topic/mahamrityunjaya Mantra: Aum Tryambakam Yajamahe Sugandhim Pushtivardhanam Urvarukamiva Bandhanan Mrityor Mukshiya Maamritat Meaning: I worship the fragrant three-eyed god, Lord Shiva, who nourishes all beings. May he liberate us from death for the sake of immortality, even as the cucumber is severed from its bondage to the creeper.

The role of the royal couple was to maintain Maat on earth.
"One can translate the word Maat by Rule, as long as one includes in this the ideas of universal order, cosmic harmony, eternal balance of the universe, celestial justice inspiring human justice, rectitude, solidarity among living things, truth, just distribution of duties, social cohesion, wisdom."
This State magic called particularly upon the queen: "It is the woman's spiritual role, her active participation to creation in spirit, that is emphasized and practiced" (women were considered the link between Heaven and Earth). One essential magical act among many was for the queen (or a high priestess) to "sustain, by her love, the energy of the god Amon, so that the divine love could sustain Egypt". The queen is also called "She who sees Horus and Seth" -- in other words it is in her that the two enemy brothers are reconciled. The divine energy was considered a vital reality without which the country could not live in harmony with the Invisible.

Watter Purification
It is, of course, preferable to have Ganga jal [water from Ganga] for puja, but that is not always possible or practical. So, if Ganga jal is unavailable, one may use this mantra to purify whatever water one has. It is considered improper, however, to use water collected from the bathroom for sacred purposes. Gange cha Yamune chaiva Godavari Saraswati, Narmade Sindhu Kaveri jalesmin sannidhim kuru In this water I invoke the presence of holy waters from the rivers Ganga, Yamuna, Godavari, Saraswati, Narmada, Sindhu, and Kaveri
