Indian Vedic Astrology considers Nakshatra (in which we are born) to be an important aspect of our lives. Nakshatra indicates our attitude, even our physical appearance and our future. It is said in our Vedas that Nakshatra puja is very important in our lives. It is conducted once a year for one person and one should perform Nakshatra puja once every year for the betterment of one's life.
Dedicated to Lord Shiva to avoid untimely death, the Mrityunjaya Homa is performed to achieve Jaya or Victory over Mritya or death.
All the scriptures declare the Maha Mrityunjaya mantra as the best one for health and longevity.

The higher the number the more is the benefit.
