Sat Chit Ananda Express performs Om Namah Shivaya

Mantra, Kirtan and Stotra: Sanskrit Chants - A podcast by Sukadev Bretz - Fridays

Om Namah Shivaya, performed by the Sat Chit Ananda Express. This kirtan is part of a concert by the Sat Chit Ananda Express that took place in Horn-Bad Meinberg a few months ago. Om Namah Shivaya is a common greeting in yoga. "Om" is Om , the all-embracing. "Namah" means more or less "greeting to" and "Shivaya" means "to Shiva". So Om Namah Shivaya means obeisance to Shiva. But what does Shiva mean? Shiva has many different meanings. "Shiva" literally means "the loving one, the kind one." But it also means "the higher self" and "the divine everywhere." We can say "Om Namah Shivaya" and use it in meditation or kirtan. It is the invocation of the kind, loving, higher self within us.
