Hello to all members from Veeraswamy KrishnarajLate Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami of Hawaii's Iraivan Temple tells us how to chant Aum Om Nama Sivaya. Your home is fine for chanting. You may sign up to receive in your email box daily sloka from 'Hinduism Today'Sloka 137 from Dancing with Siva

How Is Namah

Sivaya Properly Chanted?

The Panchakshara Mantra, Namah Sivaya, is

repeated verbally or mentally, often while counting a mala of rudraksha

beads, drawing the mind in upon itself to cognize Lord Siva's infinite,

all-pervasive presence. Aum.

Bhashya

Japa yoga is the first yoga to be

performed toward the goal of jnana. In the temple

perform japa. Under your favorite tree perform japa.

Seated in a remote cave perform japa. Aum Namah Sivaya can be performed on

rudraksha beads over and over when the sun is setting, when the sun is rising

or high noon lights the day. "Aum Namah Sivaya," the Saivite chants.

Aum Namah Sivaya feeds his soul, brightens his intellect

and quells his instinctive mind. Take the holy tears of Siva, the auburn

rudraksha beads, into your hands. Push a bead over the middle finger with your

thumb and hold as the intonation marks its passage. The duly initiated audibly

repeats "Namah Sivaya," and when japa is

performed silently, mentally chants "Sivaya Namah." There are many

ways to chant this mantra, but perform it as you were

initiated. Unauthorized experimentation is forbidden.

Those prone to angry rage should never do japa. The Tirumantiram announces,

"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.
