My Thoughts on "Om karam Bindhu Samyuktam"

Monday being day of the moon, I write down my thoughts on "Om karam Bindhu Samyuktam", to remember, rejoice the somanathan, the shiva.

"Om karam Bindhu Samyuktam" is a stotram from rudrayamla. A stotram is something which has to be repeated until we get lost into it.

Om Na Ma Shi Va Ya - 6 letter mantra, shadakshara mantra. For each Aksharam, we have a couplet.

In the first couplet, it speaks about how Omkaram & concentrating on it daily at our bindhi relieves one from kama and leads to moksha and it praises Omkaram.

Omkaram bindu samyuktam nithyam dhyayanti yoginaha
Kamadam mokshadam chaiva omkaraya namo namaha (1)

In the second couplet, it speaks about the Devas, Apsras, Ganas and Naras who keeps uttering his name and praises Nakaram.

Namanti rushayo devaa namanty apsa-rasan ganaha
Naraa namanti devesham nakaraya namo namaha (2)

In the third couplet, it speaks about the big nature of devam, manas, dhyanam and practice and how it destroy all papam, evil sins and it praises Makaram.

Mahadevam mahatmanam mahadyanam parayanam
Maha papa haram devam makaraya namo namaha (3)

In the fourth couplet, it speaks about the beautiful natham of the jagam, the silence of shiva which bring the anu sized help and which make all this world on which we surrender every moment and it praises shikaram. 

Shivam shantham jagannatham lokanugraha karakam
Shivameka padam nithyam shikaraya namo namaha (4)

In the fifth couplet, it speaks about rishaba vahnam which reminds us our body, vasuki & it breath which reminds our breath and shakthi which is made the best half and it praises vakaram.

Vahanam vrushabho yasya Vasuki kantha Bhushanam
Vame shakthidharam devam vakaraya namo namaha (5)

In the sixth couplet, it speaks about yatra, the journey we take from birth to death and the ever & everywhere dwelling guru and surrendering of oneself and it praises yakaram.

Yatra yatra sthitho deva srava vyapi maheshwaraha
Yo guruh sarva devanaam yakaraya namo namaha (6)

In the seventh couplet, it praises the sadaksharam mantham, which shows the path to the surrendering place, as we ask for shiva loka, it lets us to be with shiva and dwell with him.

Shadakshara midam stotram yah patheth shiva sannidau
Shiva loka mavapnothi Shivena sahamodathey

Remembrance Story line:

Om Na Ma Shi Va Ya. 

Imagine the Om in the Space. coming in our thought into our Bindhi, imagine how all our willingness is getting destroyed and we attain a state where there is nothing but bliss, the state of Moksha.

Imagine the Devas worshipping him with all willingness and Imagine the namaste folded hands of Apasara and see also the Ganas. Imagine a man worshipping him and slowly becoming Deva.

Imagine the giving hands of Mahadeva, who is also the maha atma. Slowly move upwards and watch his face doing dhyanam. In his dhyan he is destroying all papam and makes us sinless.

Imagine the face being so silent that too for such a period that all our thoughts goes away seeing his face. slowly see how the silence is pervading everywhere, all lokas, it is the natham which is doing the silent help or responsible all this universe. Slowly go towards his feet and which is residing on the clouds or ice berg. You will just surrender.

Now slowly move towards the nandhi on which shiva and parvathi are sitting and slowly move towards the snake vasuki which is surrounding the neck of shiva. And now move back and watch both sakthi and shiva, pray to the shakthidharan.

Now move out of shivaloka and take the journey and go fast and fast in every direction, you can see shiva everywhere. You are the one guru who provide all and all of you itself.

Now, Imagine how we travelled and swimmed on the mantra "Om Na Ma Shi Va Ya", if we daily say this mantra we will reach the shiva sannidhi or place. Once we reach his place his world and remain with him shiva himself.
