OM NAMAH SIVAYA
Namah, read backwards is manah, the mind which is directed outwards and confused, dull, etc…
you turn the mind inwards, it becomes Namah, and when you go inwards, what do you find? Shiva!
The embodiment of Bliss, Peace and Tranquility… So we chant the Om Namah Sivaya to turn ourselves inwards to the Bliss and Tranquility of the Being…
There are 12 zodiac signs and 9 planets. As the 9 planets move through the 12 signs, their positions affect us either negatively or positively. Chanting the Om Namah Sivaya 108 times (12 x 9 = 108), nullifies any negative effects and enhances positive effects of the planets on us.
The real name for the mantra is Panchakshara or mantra that has 5 letters or syllables.
Om does not count as Saguna mantras are expansions of Nirguna OM. Na Ma Si Va Ya. Each letter also has a specific meaning. Na=creation or sristi Ma=preservation or stithi Si=destruction or samhara Va=avarana or maya Ya=anugraha or grace that liberates.
