Om Namah Shivaya — Ancient Mantra from the Rig Veda is one of the most beloved and ancient Hindu mantras. It comes from part of a Hindu prayer, the Shri Rudram Chamakam, which is found in the second oldest of the vedic texts, the Yajurveda. It is a hymn to Shiva, god of destruction and transformation, and it is said that chanting this mantra helps to get rid of internal imperfections, limitations, and sins. It is also a mantra that elevates the psyche and awakens higher states of consciousness. There is no exact way to capture and translate the meaning of this mantra into English. It is a salutation to Shiva, meaning “I bow to Shiva.” It is also seen as a salutation to the divine (i.e. “I bow to God”). Apparently it can also mean “I honor the divinity within myself.” Another common translation is, “May the greatest that can be in this world be created within myself, within others, and within the world.” ~ Om Namah Shivaya
