Om Namah Shivaya performed by Sat Chit Ananda Express Mantra, Kirtan and Stotra: Sanskrit Chants

The music band "Sat Chit Ananda Express" performed Om Namah Shivaya during a mantra concert at Yoga Vidya in Bad Meinberg, Germany.

Om Namah Shivaya is a common greeting in yoga. "Om" is Om , the all-encompassing. "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, the kind". But it also means “the higher self” and “the divine everywhere”. We can say "Om Namah Shivaya" and use that in meditation or in kirtan. It is invoking the kind, the loving, the higher self within us.

Mantra/ kirtan chanting is a wonderful practice to open the heart and to feel divine presence
