Om Namah Shivaya (Devanagari: ॐ नमः शिवाय;^[1]IAST: Om Namaḥ Śivāya) is one of the most popular HinduMantra and the most important mantra in Shaivism. Namah Shivaya means 'O salutations to the auspicious one!', or “adoration to Lord Shiva', or 'universal consciousness is one'. It is called Siva Panchakshara, or Shiva Panchakshara or simply Panchakshara meaning the 'five-syllable' mantra (viz., excluding the Om) and is dedicated to Lord Shiva. This Mantra appears as 'Na' 'Ma' 'Śi' 'Vā' and 'Ya' in the Shri Rudram hymn which is a part of the Krishna Yajurveda^[2] and also in the Rudrashtadhyayi which is a part of the Shukla Yajurveda.

Origin of the mantra[edit]

This mantra is present in the Shri Rudram hymn which is part of the Krishna Yajurveda.^[3]Shri Rudram hymn is taken from two chapters in fourth book of Taittiriya Samhita (TS 4.5, 4.7) of Krishna Yajurveda. Each chapter consist of eleven anuvaka or hymns. Name of both chapters are Namakam (chapter five) and Chamakam (chapter seven) respectively.^[4] The mantra appears without the initial Om in the eighth hymn of Namakam(TS 4.5.8.1) as Namaḥ śivāya ca śivatarāya ca (Sanskrit: नमः शिवाय च शिवतराय च). This means 'Salutations unto Śiva the auspicious one, unto Śivatara the one than whom none more auspicious can exist'.^[5][3][6]

This mantra also appears in the Rudrashtadhyayi, a part of the Shukla Yajurveda. In the Rudrashtadhyayi, the mantra appears in the 5th chapter (also known as Namakam) verse 41.^[7][8]

Translations among different traditions[edit]

Namah Shivaya means 'Adoration to Lord Shiva'; this is preceded by the devotional syllable 'Om'.

In Siddha Shaivism and Shaiva Siddhanta Shaivism traditions, Namah Shivaya is considered as Pancha Bodha Tatva of Lord Shiva and his universal oneness of five elements:^[9]

• Na sound represents earth^[9]
• Ma sound represents water^[9]
• Śi sound represents fire^[9]
• Vā sound represents Pranic air^[9]
• Ya sound represents sky or ether^[9]

Its total meaning is that 'universal consciousness is one'.^[9]

In Shaiva Siddhanta, the five letters also represent:^[9]

• Na is the Lord’s concealing grace^[9]
• Ma is the world^[9]
• Śi stands for Shiva^[9]
• Vā is His revealing grace^[9]
• Ya is the Ātman or soul^[9]

The Tirumantiram (a scripture in Shaiva Siddhanta) announces that 'His feet are the letter Na. His navel is the letter Ma. His shoulders are the letter Śi. His mouth, the letter Vā. His radiant cranial center aloft is Ya. Thus is the five-lettered form of Shiva.': Tirumantiram 941. TM^[10][11]

In different scriptures[edit]

1. The Mantra appears as 'Na' 'Ma' 'Śi' 'Vā' and 'Ya' in the Shri Rudram hymn which is a part of the Krishna Yajurveda. Thus predates the use of Shiva as a proper name, in the original context being an address to Lord Rudra (later Shiva), where Shiva retains its original meaning as an adjective, meaning 'auspicious, benign, friendly', a euphemistic epithet of Rudra.^[9]
2. The mantra appears in the Rudrashtadhyayi which is a part of the Shukla Yajurveda.^[12]
3. Whole Panchakshara Stotra is dedicated to this mantra.^[13][14]
4. Tirumantiram, a scripture written in Tamil language, speaks of the meaning of the mantra.^[15]
5. It appears in the Shiva Purana in the chapter 1.2.10 (Shabda-Brahma Tanu) and in its Vidyeshvara samhita and in chapter 13 of the Vayaviya samhita of the Shiva Purana as 'Om Namaha Shivaya'.
6. The Tamil Saivaite hymn Tiruvacakam begins with the five letters 'Na' 'Ma' 'Śi' 'Vā' and 'Ya'.

Usage[edit]

This mantra is repeated verbally or mentally, drawing the mind in upon itself to Lord Shiva's infinite, all-pervasive presence. Traditionally it is repeated 108 times a day while keeping count on a strand of rudraksha beads. This practice is called japa yoga. It is freely sung and chanted by everyone, but it is most powerful when given by one's guru. Before this initiation which is called mantra diksha, the guru will usually require a period of study. This initiation is often part of a temple ritual, such as a puja, japa, homa (fire ceremony), dhyana or and while smearing vibhuti. The guru whispers the mantra into the disciple’s right ear, along with instructions on how and when to chant it.^[9]

Intended effect[edit]

This mantra is associated with qualities of prayer, divine-love, grace, truth, and blissfulness. When done correctly, it calms the mind and brings spiritual insight and knowledge. It also keeps the devotee close to Shiva and within His protective global fellowship.

Traditionally, it is accepted to be a powerful healing mantra beneficial for all physical and mental ailments. Soulful recitation of this mantra brings peace to the heart and joy to the Ātman or soul. Many Hindu teachers consider that the recitation of these syllables is sound therapy for the body and nectar for the Ātman.^{[16][failed verification]} The nature of the mantra is the calling upon the higher self; it is the calling upon Shiva.

Contemporary developments[edit]

The mantra has gained wider use outside India as a result of Siddha Yoga, founded by Swami Muktananda, in which it is the main mantra used for meditation and chanting.^[17]

In the film Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia (2007), Elizabeth Gilbert explained that the first chant provided by her guru was 'Om Namah Shivaya.'^[18] Gilbert wrote that this meant 'I honor the divinity within me.'^[19]

OM HREEM NAMAH: SHIVAYA

In gods Mahadev is the first and strongest ( and every gods

prays to him even Vishnu himself always prays to Mahadeva). In Ansys geotechnical.

every body there is a soul ( shiva ) and strength ( shakti ) to do

work. That is why every body is the part of Shiva and when people

dies, the soul resides back to Shiva. Mahadeva is the creator of

all worlds Heaven, Earth, Hell ( one which have life: that includes

Google chrome offline installer. every planet which have life on it in this universe ).

Do you know that every living things have third eye ..

yes, human also do have third eye. It is located in between two

purikas ( eye brows ). In order to experience the energy of third

eye just direct the two eye towards the joining part of eye brows,

you have to say mantras in order to get full power of it because

some sounds produce maximum potential to evoke the power of third

eye.

Among Mantras OM HREEM NAMAH: SHIVAYA have the maximum

potential.

because it contains both the power of Shiva and shakti (

Sambashiva ).

And of course don't use this energy towards good people because

it will harm you only ( Reason: Every living things consists of

shiva as soul )

You can use the third eye power against evil people it won't

harm you because those who are evil ignores Shiva and when they die

they go to hell.

Do you know one thing Islam people follows one god.

But most Muslims do not follow the Quran well that's why most of

them don't have light (Shiva) inside them. ( If you have some time

try to read Quran because it consists of simpler techniques to

raise the light inside )

In order to provoke Third eye power you have to do good things,

which is light.

More good things you do higher the power it will be and light

inside you increases.

Do you know what happens if all the light inside you is lost,

you will die and go to hell. So try to provoke the third eye in

order to destroy evil , in such a way light will be restored in you

self.

Have a nice day. :)

In QURAN it says that there will appear 30 dajjals ( antichrist

or against Allah or against MAHADEV) of this the famous dajjal is

one eyed dajjal ( so far i found out some of the the dajjals in

here they are satya sai bhava , Benedict XVI pope, barrack Obama (

one eyed American dajjal , in the dollar bills it shows the one

eyed figure in it, and so one who sits and control America right

now is the worst dajjal appeared.

He is trying to mislead people and making people ignorant to

god. So beware of these guys . There is a truth in Islam that once

made into Islam and follows it carefully he will never be attacked

by evil forces. And barrack Obama is a not a true Islam , he

married a christian woman named Michelle and not following Islamic

rules. That's why I said he is the ignorant and claims himself the

god.

If an avatar of oneness came to this world he will be filled

with the light inside and outside like Jesus, moses, Abraham, Noah,

Mohammed , Krishna etc.( all of them are shiva's part and reside

with him and come from him again and again).
