Healing prayer is a billion dollar business and a weapon for
conversion for one particular religion. But did you know that even before this
particular religion appeared on earth, Hindu religion had a prayer for healing.
This prayer is dedicated to the Greatest God who comforts
us, satisfies our hungers, solves our insecurities and helps in overcoming our
inadequacies.
This Greatest God is Shiva and the simple prayer for healing
is ‘om namah shivaya.’
Om is the primordial sound – it is the vibration that has
resulted in all creation. Shiva is all auspiciousness.
Shiva is the father of all popular modern techniques of yoga,
healing, meditation etc.
Some of them began thousands of years before society
was formed and thousands of years before humans invented gods.
The prayer ‘om namah shivaya’ gives the heart security. It
prepares the intellect to receive the supreme truth. Shiva is the anchor and the
support. This mantra is the comforting hand. He appears in innumerable form for
humans to lean on in a crisis.
Shiva is the immortal in all mortal. He is the infinite
beyond the finite.
Chant ‘om namah shivaya’ daily. The best option is to chant
it early morning at sunrise. Chant it 108 times and you will surely see your
life changing for good. Believe in Shiva and he can perform miracles.
