Shiva

Om namah shivay

Shivay namah om

Om namah shivay

Shivay namah om

Shambho Shankara namah Shivaya,

Girija Shankara namah Shivaya.

Om bhur bhuva swaha

Tat purushaya vidmahe

Mahadevaya Dhimahi

Tano rudrah pracodayā.

«I surrender to God, seeking refuge in Him.»

OM - the Universe

NAMAHA - not mine

SHIVA - the Supreme

Therefore, «OM NAMAH SHIVAYA» also means «all this is not mine but Yours» and «Thy will be done, not mine».

Om. Oh, Earth, Airspace and Heavens!

tat savitur vareṇyaṃ

May we comprehend that Supreme Spirit!

bhargo devasya dhīmahi

May we contemplate manifestations of the Supreme God in all.

dhiyo yo naḥ pracodayāt

May the Divine Light illuminate and guide our intelligence!
