What is Om namo Shivaya

Om  namo  Shivaya 

On the  auspicious  occasion  of shivrati  we chant"Om namo  Shivaya"several times. This is a mantra  offering  respect  to Lord Shiva. 

The literal  meaning   is "adoration  to Lord Shiva ." it actually  means " I offer to Shiva  respectful  invocation  of His name",preceded  by om  or Aum. This mantra is literally  thousands  of years  ago. Chanting  this mantra  is said to please the  Lord. 

Om namo  Shivaya
