Why is Om namah shivay considered Mahamantra

 Om or Aum is the sound of the universe. Scientists tell us that our universe was born out of the big bang. Vedas tell us that it was the big OM. The process is continuing. It has never stopped. 

AUM is made up of  three sounds A ( Brahma /creation /reproductive system) U ( Vishnu/ preserver/ digestive and respiratory system ), M (Shiv/transformation/brain). Thus AUM sound heal all three types of organs of our body. 


when we chant Om, we overcome our weaknesses as divinity gradually blossoms within us.

Om Namah Shivaya is known as the maha mantra( panchakshari mantra)  because it represents all five elements, i.e. earth, water, fire, air and ether. ‘Om’ surrounds everything, ‘Na’ represents earth or ‘Prithvi’, ‘Mah’ represents water or ‘Jal’, ‘Shi’ represents fire or ‘Agni’, ‘Va’ represents air or ‘Vayu’ and ‘Ya’ represents ether or ‘Akash’.

Om Namah Shivaya chanting harmonizes the five elements in the environment. When there is peace, love and harmony in all the five elements, then there is bliss and there is joy not just within you, but also around you.

This mantra also has a profound inner significance. ‘Na’ means No and ‘Mah’ or ‘Mahyam’ stands for ‘Aham’ or I. Shiva is the transcendental consciousness. In other words, Shiva is that state 

where the mind or limited consciousness dissolves or doesn’t exist.


Manaha' is the mind and the reverse of it 'Namaha' is the mind moving inwards. 'Vashi' means control and the opposite of it - Shiva - is complete letting go.


“There is no mind in the Shiva Tattva. The consciousness which is bliss and innocence, the consciousness which is the bestower of dispassion is Shiva.”

Chanting Om Namah Shivaya can lead us gradually to that state of “No mind” or Shiva Tattva.

The negative vibes around a person make them repulsive. Mantras turn around these negative, repulsive vibrations, into more positive and attractive vibrations. This is the advantage of mantra chanting.” ~ Gurudev
