Current mood:  grateful
just had to take the time out to inspire because i was inspired.
reminded of a time and place where there was no fear or resentment. no second-guessing, and no need to please everybody. just a pure heart and a desire to share myself with those that cared to listen.
it amazing how society can beat people up to the point where they aren't even sure if they are WORTHY of success. wow. can you imagine? there are those that actually don't know how talented they are and what a great gifts they have to share to benefit those around them. i've been there, many many times.
it's a learning process and i am a very eager student.
read this on a meditation website some time ago: thought it was beautiful.
Om Namah Shivaya is known as the great redeeming mantra also known as five-syllable mantra
The meaning :
It means "I bow to Shiva." Shiva is the supreme reality, the inner Self. It is the name given to consciousness that dwells in all. Shiva is the name of your true identity- your self.
According to Hindu mythology there are three Gods who run this creation. The Brahma - who creates the universe, the Vishnu - who preserves the Universe and the Shiva- who in the end destroys the universe. Among the three deities, Shiva, though considered as destroyer, also symbolize the - the inner self which remains intact even after everything ends.
In this mantra the chanter (one who repeats the mantra) bow to Shiva- his true self.
Om Namah Shivay is a very powerful mantra. It has been said about this mantra that if this mantra vibrates continually in your heart, then you have no need to perform austerities, to meditate, or to practise yoga. To repeat this mantra you need no rituals or ceremonies, nor must you repeat it at an auspicious time or in a particular place." This mantra is free of all restrictions. It can be repeated by anyone, young or old, rich or poor and no matter what state a person is in, it will purify him.
Repeat this mantra with respect. The inner self is the form of God in you. So as you say 'Om Namah Shivay' i.e. "I bow to Shiva'; you are actually bowing to God - The great almighty. The repetition of the name of God is equivalent to be merged in his very being. When you repeat God's name in your mouth, in one way, you experience the God itself. Just repeat this mantra with faith and it's powerful phonetic vibrations will start doing miracles for you.
