Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Krishna Das's song Namah Shivaya are a devotional chant to Lord Shiva. It starts off with the invocation "Om Namah Shivaaya", a powerful mantra that is believed to vibrate to the frequency of Lord Shiva. The repetition of this mantra throughout the song is a form of japa or meditative repetition that helps to focus the mind and invoke the energies of Lord Shiva.


The lyrics also pay homage to some of the other popular names of Lord Shiva - Shambhu Shankara and Girijaa Shankara. Shambhu Shankara is the Lord of the universe and destroyer of all evils, while Girijaa Shankara refers to Lord Shiva as the husband of Parvati, who was famously known as Girija. The mention of these names helps to deepen the connection with Lord Shiva and evoke his divine presence.


The final line of the song - Arunaachala Shiva namah Shivaaya - is a reference to the Arunachala mountain in the town of Tiruvannamalai in Tamil Nadu, which is considered a sacred site for Lord Shiva worshippers. It is said that the mountain itself is an embodiment of Lord Shiva, and the lyrics acknowledge this by addressing him as Arunaachala Shiva.


Overall, Krishna Das's Namah Shivaya is a powerful and uplifting hymn that celebrates the divine energies of Lord Shiva and invokes his blessings.
