| This popular and powerful Hindu mantra is to aid spiritual awakening and recognize one’s own inner clarity. The Om Namah Shivaya mantra is called the five-syllable mantra. Among other things, it represents the five elements of earth, water, fire, air, and space. This mantra is said to quell the ego, cut through obscurations, and turn the intellect within to face itself and self-awaken from delusion. |
