Guest guest Posted January 29, 2005 Report Share Posted January 29, 2005 namah shivayah beloveds , Shiva is for destruction .. But for the destruction of negativities and fluctuating thoughts .. So All shiva related rituals are more for purification and destruction .. same when it comes to the shiva mantra om na ma shi va ya .. each letter polishes different centres/chakras of our being . If you know the split up of AUM , it is AAA + UUU + hmmnn..(humming) it is related to trimurthis , vishnu , brahma & shiva .. SOHAM is also as good as AUM . AAA - For solar plexus chakra , Vishnu related & for creation of positive energies UU -- For Heart chakra , Brahma related and for maintenance of those positive qualities MMM -- (Humming sound) For Ajna chakra & above , Shivah related and for destruction of vasanas (tendencies) and negative thoughts That is why symbolically shivah is having a 3rd eye representing the lord helping to open the ajna chakra. Sing a typical om namah shivayah bhajan for sometime and watch the vibrations .. Sing a hare rama hare krishna bhajan for some time and watch the vibrations .. you will know the difference and just the very watching of vibrations can lead you to meditation. don't worry too much about the mantras.. The key is in having silence and awareness without losing the devotion. so blindly follow the master's foot steps silently .. namah shivayah << Re: To joanna on Shiva as destructive >> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
