"His feet are the letter Na. His navel is the letter Ma. His

shoulders are the letter Shi. His mouth, the letter Va. His radiant

cranial center aloft is Ya. Thus is the five-lettered form of Siva."

Aum Namah Sivaya.

Aum Namah Sivaya is such a precious mantra because it is the closest

sound that one can make to emulate the sounds rushing out of the

Self into the mind. Chanting it is profound because it is a sound

channel which you can follow to get close to the Self of your self--

sort of like following a river upstream to yourself. Aum Namah

Sivaya can be equated with Siva's drum of creation, called damaru.

When "Aum Namah Sivaya" is repeated, we go through the chakras, Na-

Ma Shi-Va-Ya Aum. The Aum is in the head chakra. Within Namah Sivaya

is each of the elements--earth, water, fire, air and ether--which in

the mind are transmuted into all-pervasive consciousness, and that

is also transmuted, into the great chakra way above the head at the

end of the Aum. In just the breath, the space of time between the

next repetition of "Aum Namah SivayaÉAum Namah SivayaÉAum Namah

Sivaya," the pranas, having reached Parasiva, fall back into the

spiritual, mental, astral and physical worlds, blessing them all

with new energy, new life and new understanding. "Namah Sivaya Aum,

Namah Sivaya Aum, Namah Sivaya Aum, Namah Sivaya Aum" is the

constant process of life. It is the essence of life itself. We must

realize that at any given moment we are a complete Parasiva-

Satchidananda jiva, only working on the "Maheshvara part"--on the

jiva's becoming Siva. Parasiva is there. Satchidananda is there. The

maturity of the purusha, of the jiva, the embodied soul, is not.

Therefore, Aum Namah Sivaya takes us into the reality above and

beyond the relatively real. To know it is to experience it, and to

experience it is to become initiated.

 

Aum Shanti Shanti Shanti.

I have a curiosity.Some prople cannot sit down and do japa .It it Ok

to do do mansic japa while driving, shopping or sitting in office ie

I mean to say any time .The reason is i might not be able to use a

rosary or close my eyes.Do you have to do start everytime with

ganesh.surya vishnu shiv shakti and kartikaya namaskar or you

directly go to mantra
