Product Description
This highly polished copper bracelet bearing the "Om Namah Shivaya" Hindu mantra in Sanskrit, with rope braid detail, is naturally adjustable and handmade in Nepal.
What does "Om Namah Shivaya" mean?
"Om Namah Shivaya" is one of the most popular Hindu mantras and the most important mantra in Shaivism.
Its translation is "adoration (namas) to _iva", preceded by the mystical syllable "Aum".
It is also called Panchakshara, the "five-syllable" mantra (viz., excluding the Aum).
The Tamil Saivaite hymn Tiruvacakam begins with the five letters 'na' 'ma' 'ci' 'vaa' 'ya'.
It is part of the Shri Rudram Chamakam, a Hindu prayer taken from the Yajurveda, and thus predates the use of Shiva as a proper name, in the original context being an address to Rudra (later Shiva), where Ýiva retains its original meaning as an adjective, meaning "auspicious, benign, friendly", a euphemistic epithet of Rudra. The Panchakshara should be recited by Shiva devotees during pooja, homa, Japa and while smearing Vibhuti.
The meaning of the Namah _ivya mantra was explained by Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami as follows:
Namah _ivya is the most holy name of God _iva, recorded at the very centre of the Vedas and elaborated in the _aiva Agamas.
Na is the Lord's concealing grace, Ma is the world, _i stands for _iva, Va is His revealing grace, Ya is the soul.
The five elements, too, are embodied in this ancient formula for invocation.
Na is earth, Ma is water, _i is fire, V is air, and Ya is ether, or ÛkÝa. Many are its meanings.
Namah _ivaya has such power that the mere intonation of these syllables reaps its own reward in salvaging the soul from bondage of the treacherous instinctive mind and the steel bands of a perfected externalized intellect.
Namah _ivya quells the instinct, cuts through the steel bands and turns this intellect within and on itself, to face itself and see its ignorance. Sages declare that mantra is life, that mantra is action, that mantra is love and that the repetition of mantra,
japa, bursts forth wisdom from within.
The holy Natchintanai proclaims, "Namah _ivya is in truth both Ûgama and Veda. Namah _ivya represents all mantras and tantras.
Namah _ivaya is our souls, our bodies and possessions. Namaü´ _ivya has become our sure protection."
—Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami
