About this chant
Known as the Panchakshara, the five-syllable mantra, this is among the most beloved invocations of Shiva. Tradition holds that each syllable honours an element of creation, drawing the mind toward stillness and inner clarity. It is chanted through the day and is especially associated with Mondays and the month of Sawan.
