Salutations to the glorious primal guru, Sri Adinath, who instructed the knowledge of hatha yoga which shines forth as a stairway for those who wish to ascend to the highest stage of yoga, raja yoga. -Hatha Yoga Pradipika 1.1

Aum Namah Shivaya Mantra Mp3

Shiva is the great purifier as well as the Adiguru (primal guru). He is the deity (or archetypal energy) that purifies our wrong doings and helps us to burn up negative karmas. He is the source of knowledge and educates the heart and mind in the path one follows. He is the original guru as taught by Patanjali: Ishvara is Purusha, Aum is Ishvara, the teacher of the earliest Gurus.

There are two main mantras for Shiva; a five syllable mantra (panchakshari) and six syllable mantra (shadakshari).

Panchaksari Mantra

Panch means five and akshara means syllables, so the Shiva panchakshari mantra is the five syllable Namah Sivaya mantra. Namah Sivaya is two words and five syllables. It takes the energy of the second house (speech, traditional study, Masters degree, etc.) to the fifth house (bhakti, mantra, yantra, tantra, intelligence). Shankaracharya was a great jnana yogi who advised the five syllable mantra, for its ability to open one to the knowledge of the Self which is Siva.

In the Shiva Purana, it is Shiva that teaches the panchaksari mantra to Brahma in order to give Shakti to his forms. When the world is darkened by sins and evils it will be the panchaksari that will embark one on the mukti marga (path of liberation).

The five aksharas can be empowered each separately to give birth to the mantra for those who know mantra sadhanna. Aum NaM Namah Sivaya, Aum MaM Namah Sivaya, Aum SiM Namah Sivaya, Aum VaM Namah Sivaya, Aum YaM Namah Sivaya, (can each be done 108 times with Rishi, Chanda, Devata to give birth to the mantra).

At the end of this chapter in the Shiva Purana (which has much more detail than given here), Shiva talks to Parvati. He tells Devi that Her mula mantra (root mantra) is also panchaksari, but it becomes Namah Shivayai. We then have a similar variation for Shakti Ma.

Shadakshari Mantra

Shad means six and akshara means syllables, so the Shiva shadakshari mantra is the six syllable Aum Namah Sivaya mantra. Aum Namah Sivaya is three words and six syllables- so it takes the third house energy (parakrama) to the sixth house. Sixth house rules karma/works/service and also shad-ripus (our weaknesses). So Aum Namah Sivaya is best for karma yoga and purification of our bad karma and bad habits.

In the Shiva Purana, it is Krsna that teaches the shadakshari mantra. He says it colors peoples heart and makes them happy (loka chitta), it gives artha (wealth and moksa (spirituality) and is ornamented with a variety of siddhis (perfections). It is the essence of divinity (devasara), and the root of all vidya (nikil vidya). It is like and acorn of a banyan tree, giving rise to the greatest vidya (knowledge/science).

The five syllables are the five faces of Shiva, it is Shiva himself, it is naturally part of him as speech. The mantra is the devata, they reside together as speaker and spoken word. When Shiva himself Chants Aum, we have Aum Namah Sivaya.

It is said to be a medicine of all dosas (problems) of samsara. The name of Shiva is specific for removing putra doshas (problems related to having children). When there is no Sun we are enshrouded in darkness, the name of Siva is like the light of the Sun. It gives limitless omniscience (sarvajna), bliss (anandamaya sankara), and liberation (moksa). The Shadakshari is the knowledge of Shiva (Shivajnana), and it is the ultimate objective (paramapada).

Guruji’s talk on Shiva Purana
One must not get stuck on the Name and the deity, the Supreme is the same undifferentiated energy but we invoke it through name. Ratnaraj and Somanath are both names of Siva but are invoking a different energy of Siva. So are all names of the divine just channels or doorways to connect you to the supreme energy. The Divine is nirguna Brahma, but we are Saguna form so we use saguna to relate to, to work with, to be a doorway to nirguna. The Bija is the deity, the sound itself invokes.

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'. 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. It is a holy salutation 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.

Translations among different traditions[edit]

Maze runner 3 online latino. Namah Shivaya means 'O salutations to the auspicious one!', or “adoration to Lord Shiva' 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:

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

Its total meaning is that 'universal consciousness is one' .

In the Shaiva Siddhanta Shaivism tradition the five letters also represents :

• Na is the Lord’s concealing grace
• Ma is the world
• Śi stands for Shiva
• Vā is His revealing grace
• Ya is the Ātman or soul^[15]

The Tirumantiram (a scripture in Shaiva Siddhanta Shaivism) announces, “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^[16][17]

Presence of mantra in different scriptures[edit]

2. This mantra also appears in the Rudrashtadhyayi which is a part of the Shukla Yajurveda.^[18]
3. Whole Panchakshara Stotra is dedicated to this mantra.^[19][20]
4. Tirumantiram, a scripture written in Tamil language, speaks of the meaning of the mantra.^[21]
5. It also 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'.

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.^[15]

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.^[22] The nature of the mantra is the calling upon the higher self; it is the calling upon Shiva.
