The Five Sacred Syllables - na, mah, shi, va, ya
The five syllables na-mah-shi-va-ya is considered sacred according Hindu tradition. The poetry is in praise of Lord Shiva and the five syllables represent the five elements: Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Space. The Om Namah Shivaya hymn is called five-syllable Mantra, or Panchakshara Mantra (Panch means five) and the root Mantra Om or AUM precedes these five syllables. Each stanza in the song starts with one of the five syllables, na, mah, shi, va, and ya. The vibration produced by chanting Om in the physical universe corresponds to the original vibration that first arose at the time of creation. The sound of Om is also called Pranava, meaning that it sustains life and runs through Prana or breath. The sounds heard in Om (AUM) are also known to represent the waking, dream, deep sleep, and the silence.

[@pamuletip5054]

Wow. After so many days I have seen such a nice vedio which contains male bharatnatyam dancers. In my perspective, every male candidate should learn this. And doing Bharatanatyam dance is not famine. It is the actual man hood..

[@katemacdonald]

This is brilliant! So powerful to see this stotram (which I have been working on translating into English with my Sanskrit teacher), translated into gesture! With 5 dancers - one for each syllable. And the incorporation of some yogāsana is very cool - salutations to the mahayogi : ) Love it.

Dear Malathy ma'am, I'm a fan of your work from India. My daughter is a bharatanatyam performer as well. Can I ask my daughter to learn this and perform it in a temple nearby our residence for Shivaratri on Feb 18? Need your permission ma'am. She will give music and choreography credits. Kindly reply ma'am.

[@RangoliDanceCompany]

I appreciate you writing to me. Yes, please remember to give full credits to the choreographer and the musicians. Do indicate that you have received permission with blessings. Best wishes.

[@sharmilagovindaraju1458]
