Shiva

Take another  example  for  Mantra:  Om  Namaha  Shivaya,  a  five-lettered  mantra also
called panchakshari mantra found in Krishna yajurveda.
The meaning is: “I salute or surrender to Lord Shiva”.
The derived meaning of Shiva is: ‘auspiciousness’.
The  ultimate  Truth  is  auspiciousness  itself.  Thus  in this  mantra  also the  individual  is
surrendering to the total in order to invoke the blessings of the total in the individual.
Another mantra for Lord Shiva is: “Om Namo Bhagavate Rudraya”.
One  very  famous  and  popular  mantra  is: mrutyun  jaya  mantra.  Found  in the rudra
prashna section of Krishna yajurveda. This mantra is for overcoming the mortality and
to attain immortality. That is it  helps one understand that one essentially is the immortal
Atma or consciousness itself. The  mantra is: “Om trayambakam  yajamahe  sugandhim pushti vardhanam. Ûrvarukamiva bandhanât murtuyor mukshîya mâmrutât”. There are
intonations for this mantra and one should chant it with intonations.
