Aum Namah Shivaya Poem by C. Muralidara Kannan

Aum Namah Shivaya
What a just juxtaposition!
Jeevam + Japam + Shivam
Perfect prayer permutes
Prefixing a breath of pranavam
And suffixing the seamless shaivam.
Articulate it a hundred times
Or even more, the more the better.

Mystically cryptic, spiritually scientific
And ritually an authentic
Universal philosophy.

No thanthra nor any yanthra
Nothing supercedes this mantra
Aum Namashivaya...On Y Va...
On Y Va...Aum Namashivaya.
