Maahamrityunjaya Mantra (chanting for someone else)

[astrolearner15]

How can one recite the MahaMrityunjaya Mantra for someone else? Is there any difference when reciting for someone else?

For the laghu mantra, “Om Joom Sah Mam Palay Palay Sah Joom Om”, a number of websites say that the 'mam' should be replaced with the name of the person for whom the mantra is being chanted, but nothing is mentioned about the full mantra.

[Dhanvanta]

Thomas Ashley Ferrand (Namadeva Acharia) has dealt with this issue on his website. I copy it hereunder and also give the link for further study:

Q: I want to do a mantra on behalf of another person. Is this OK?

A: Praying for another person is a good thing to do for anybody at any time. However, Sanskrit Mantra is not exactly prayer because it is proactive and specific, whereas prayer leaves the mechanism of an answer up to Divine authority. Therefore, I recommend that where possible you ask permission from a person to undertake mantra work on their behalf. If this is not possible, then start with a prayer that this energy be used for their highest good and begin. I also recommend that you begin with the declaration that while you are performing this mantra on someone's behalf (state their name) that you are by no means taking their karma.
Parents have an automatic right as well as responsibility to perform mantra work on behalf of their children.

Hope this helps,

thanks.

Also, can someone guide me on pronunciation please. I have been using bandhanan but I read somewhere it should be bandhanat?

Both of them are equally valid, however many recommend to use "Bandhanat". I too have seen much benefits by using the later.

Thanks, I have started using Bandhanat now.
How many times should I chant it for someone else who is extremely ill? 108 times or more?
