Om Namah Shivaya: Are You Bowing to Shiva, or Shakti?

You can chant the very first sound of Sanskrit three different ways, and almost nobody can tell you which is right. In this one we slow all the way down and stay with a single letter. The sound that opens Aum and hides inside almost every mantra you have ever chanted. If you were never shown the difference between the short and the long, that is not your fault. Most people were never told. So we take our time, and by the end I show you something about Om Namah Shivaya that changes where your bow actually lands. Most people have no idea it moves. This comes from the living Siddha Tantra of the Himalayas, where sound is never only sound. We go through all fifty sounds properly, one by one, starting 25th July.
