[Madhava Replies:]

This adheres to the vision of our Veda.

 

Many of you must have heard about " namakaM " . This is a collection

of vedic hymns from SriKrishna Yajurveda 5th Chapter (37 riks). You can

listen to this in all temples of Lord Shiva. Pundits chant this especially

while performing the abhiseka (holy bath) to Lord Shiva.

 

In Namakam (also called as " Satarudriyam " ) the vedic seer offers his

prostrations to Lord Siva who is personified as the leader of thiefs and

hijackers.

 

" namaH kakubhAya nishaMgiNE stEnAnaM patayE namaH. (namakaM - 3-2).

stEna = Thief (who steals with out giving a notice)

" namO nishaMgiNa ishudhimatE taskarANAM patayaE namaH (namakaM 3-3)

taskara = Hijacker (who steals by means of extortion)

 

Regards,

Madhava
