Om namah shivaya (Sanskrit: ॐ नमः शिबय) is a beautiful and beloved prayer and mantra that can be chanted or sung. This popular prayer in India directly means “my salutations to Shiva; the auspicious and gracious one”. It is also perceived to mean, “I bow to Shiva" or "adoration to Shiva”. This mantra is thousands of years old and is mentioned in the Vedas.
Om namah shivaya is a very significant mantra in Hinduism. This mantra consists of three parts that each are a prayer: Om, Namaha, Shivaya.
Om namah Shivaya is also known as the five syllable mantra, as it has five syllables which are preceded by the Om (or Aum). Among other things, these five syllables represent the five elements of earth, water, fire, air and space.
In yoga, this mantra is chanted during meditation in order to help realize the inner Self and possesses the qualities of prayer, divine love, grace, truth and blissfulness. It is also the initiation mantra of the Siddha yoga lineage.'
