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 Śiva", 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 śiva 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 Śivāya mantra was explained by
Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami as follows:

Namah Śivāya is the most  holy name of God Śiva, recorded at the very centre of the Vedas and  elaborated in the Śaiva Agamas.

Na is  the Lord's concealing grace, Ma is  the world, Śi stands  for Śiva, 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, Śi is fire, Vā is air,  and Ya is ether, or Ākāśa.  Many are its meanings.

Namah Śivaya 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 Śivāya 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 Śivāya is in  truth  both Āgama and Veda. Namah Śivāya represents all mantras and  tantras. Namah Śivaya is our souls, our bodies and possessions. Namaḥ  Śivāya has  become our sure protection."
