Shiva Mantra
OM NAMAH SHIVAYA
Tribute to Shiva/Mahadeva, the Supreme Destroyer. This mantra is one of the most popular Hindu mantra and the most important mantra in Shaivism.
NA the three-eyed one
MA is the world
SI stands for Siva
VA is His revealing grace
YA is the soul
The five elements, too, are embodied in this ancient formula for invocation. NA is earth, MA is water, SI is fire, VA is air, and YA is ether, or Akasa.
Namah Sivaya has such power that the mere intonation of these syllables reaps its own reward in salvaging the soul from bondage of the treacherous instinctive mind and the steel bands of a perfected externalized intellect.
Namah Sivaya quells the instinct, cuts through the steel bands and turns this intellect within and on itself, to face itself and see its ignorance.
Sages declare that mantra is life, that mantra is action, that mantra is love and that the repetition of mantra, japa, bursts forth wisdom from within.
