Om Namah Shivaya ||, ॐ नमः शिवाय || is arguable one of the most popular and chanted of all the Hindu Mantras. This Panchakshari Mantra or Five letters Shiva Mantra is also arguable one of Hinduisms most Powerful Mantras. The letter which comprise this Mantra are a combination of the Pancha Tatvas or the Five Elements of life; Air [Vayu], Fire [Agni], Jal [Water], Prithvi [Earth] and Akash [Sky].
The meaning of this Mantra is – Namaskar or Salutation to Shiva. It has been mentioned repeatedly in most Hindu Religious Scriptures that the Meditation on Shiva, by the chanting of this Mantra leads to spiritual upliftment, evolution and Nirvana [the ultimate liberation].
The Mantra can be chanted at anytime during the day or night and even in bed, the chanter should visualize everything as being Shiva while chanting the Mantra.
Most Important Information - A Sadhu, Yogi or a Sanyasi [Someone who has renounced Worldly Life and has detached himself from all Social and Family Bonds] should omit the “Om” while chanting the Mantra and should only chant “Namah Shivaya – नमः शिवाय”. Householders and ordinary people should chant the Mantra as it is.
The Mantra can also be chanted as- Om Namo Shivaya ||, ॐ नमो शिवाय ||
The Mantra is said to start showing results after the completion of 500,000 Mantra Chants. Even though. It is prescribed to use a Rudraksha Bead Counting Mala; I would advise against counting the Mantra Chants and practice it like a long term Meditation Mantra.

I have just one question my jap of 1,51,000 japs of om namah shivya are about to complete in few days but i take alcohol and non - veg in dinner some times. does it have any effect on the jap
Today i have completed my japps along with the 1/10 hawan. your articles are the motivation behind this so i wanted to share it with you. Thanks So much Hope my all problems will get solved.
Been reciting om nama Shivay since 50 days and I get a tingling or throbbing feeling very occasionally some times at perineum (base of torso) and other times at the crown of my head. Please guide me if this is a normal happening or has some significance and is it due to recitation or something else?
You can carry on with the meditation.
Thanks for replying.
Thank you!
I read somewhere that Chanting Sukshma mantra will not be good for worldly matters and manifesting and destroy the wealth, could you please guide me on this as I chant it in my mind effortlessly.
Also kindly suggest if I should go for sthula mantra instead as I am a married man with kid and in my late thirties.
Thanks in advance
Can i chant om shivay namaha instead of om nama shivay, are both the mantras same?
