Om Namaste Astu Bhagavan Vishveshvaraya Mahadevaya Tryambakaya Tripurantakaya Trikagnikalaya Kalagnirudraya Nilakanthaya Mrityunjayaya Sarveshwaraya Sadashivsya Shriman Mahadevaya Namaha. This is a Vedic Mantra of Lord Shiva found in the Rudram or Namakam portion of Yajur Veda.

It means
Namaste astu Bhagavan - Salutations unto God
Vishveshvaraya - The Lord of the Universe
Mahadevaya- The Supreme God
Tryambakaya - Who has 3 Eyes
Tripurantakaya- The Destroyer of 3 Cities(of Asuras)
Trikagnikalaya- The Lord Of 3 fires
Kalagnirudraya - The Destroyer of the fire of Time
Nilkanthaya- who has A Blue Neck
Mrityunjayaya- Who Has Conquered Death
Sarveshwaraya - The God Of All
Sadashivaya - Who is always auspicious
Sriman Mahadeva- Who is The Revered Supreme God

It invokes the Grace of Lord Shiva and helps to visualise the Lord with his different forms and incomparable qualities.

When chanted in one breath it helps to develop lung capacity and also pranayama happens when this is repeated continuously with deep inhalation before chanting and slow release of breath while chanting.

One can also do japa of this mantra. This will make the body strong, breath deep, mind calm, intellect sharp and awaken one spiritually. Har Har Mahadev.
