Siva Mantras

Om is Sat-Chit-Ananda Para-Brahman. ‘Namah Sivaya’ means ‘Prostration to Lord Siva.’
This is the five-lettered formula or the Panchakshara-Mantra of Lord Siva. This is a very powerful
Mantra which will bestow on the chanter the Highest Bliss of Existence.

We comprehend (realise) that Celebrated Supreme Being (Purusha), and meditate upon that
Great God, Mahadeva; may that Rudra impel us to do so. This is the Rudra Gayatri Mantra.

I bow down to that three-eyed Lord Siva, who is full of sweet fragrance, who nourishes the
human beings. May He free me from the bondage of Samsara and death, just as a ripe cucumber
fruit is separated from the creeper. May I be fixed in Immortality! This is the Maha-Mrityunjaya
Mantra.
