Guest guest Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 Dear Selva and all, I once heard an astrologer say (on TV) that 'men' should practise "Om Namah Shivaya" while for 'women' it should be "Shivaya Namah Om". Well, could'nt argue with the guy since he was on TV .... but can you enlighten us whether such a "rule" exists....not that I care, but it caught my interest....maybe there's some logic who knows... Maybe - men/women difference may not be there, but is there any difference if we practise one form vs. the other? Om Namah Shivaya Soul Sadhak. , Selvaratnam Selvakumar <selvauk wrote: > > Om Namah Sivaya > > > Sthula Panchakshara (Namah Sivaya) > > Tirumantiram by Rishi Tirumular > Verse 2706: > Blessings of the Five Lettered Mantra-of Siva's Feet and Form > > When Karma's miseries harass you, > Chant the Five-Lettered Mantra > Of Nandi (Siva) pervasive; > If you thus seek Him, > He, the Grace of His Holy Feet confers; > Your devotion shall lead you to Siva Form. > > > > > > Sivaya Namah > > > > > > Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 No Vedas/Shashtras/Puranas says to chant like that. It is like women should not pray to Lord Hanumanji showing their hands (funny thing)!!! I don't know where such things/ideas emerges from???!!! What is logic? There is a proverb in Sanskrit, "Munde Munde Matti Bhinna", that means each individual has different thoughts, (buddhi). Whenever, such questions arises strictly follow our roots(ancient scriptures), otherwise you would be surrounded by such DOs and DONTs and one would get confused. God never see difference in men and women. I would like to talk that person(astrologer) on this, it would be interesting, rather than logical. dhruv soulsadhak <soulsadhak > wrote: Dear Selva and all, I once heard an astrologer say (on TV) that 'men' should practise "Om Namah Shivaya" while for 'women' it should be "Shivaya Namah Om".

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 here's something i found from "Lord Shiva and His Worship" by Swami Shivananda (http://www.dlshq.org/download/lordsiva.htm): ...................................................................... Panchakshara is of six kinds, viz., Sthula Panchakshara (Namassivaya), Sukshma Panchakshara (Sivaya Namah), Karana Panchakshara (Sivaya Siva), Mahakarana Panchakshara (Sivaya), Mahamanu or Mukti Panchakshara (Si). `Namah' means `Prostration'. `Sivaya Namah' means `Prostration unto Lord Siva'. The Jiva is the servant of Lord Siva from the Deha- Drishti. `Namah' represents Jivatman. `Siva' represents Paramatman. `Aya' denotes `Aikyam' or identity of Jivatman and Paramatman. Hence `Sivaya Namah' is a Mahavakya, like `Tat Tvam Asi' which signifies the identity between the individual and the supreme soul. ................................................................... IMHO, we all have our unique way of connecting to the great Lord...and all ways are correct so long as the 'feeling / connection' is correct/established....for who understands us better than the good Lord Himself.
