Śrī Śiva-pañcākṣara-stotram 0—Introduction: The Śiva-mahāmantra
Channel: Consciousness Research Centre
Date: 22/04/2023

The mantra ĀŪṀ Namaḥ Śivāya needs no introduction, at least if you've been following this channel for more than a day or two.  This is the basis, this is the bedrock, the foundation of worship of Śiva. In Śiva Purāṇa and other similar works, it's mentioned again and again and again as being the only mantra you need to know to attain liberation.

So in the devotional lineage that I was initiated into back in the 1980s, there's a concept of a Mahā-mantra.  A Mahā-mantra is a mantra that's so important, so powerful that it fulfills all the needs of all other mantras;  it fulfills the function of all other mantras. In other words, this is the only mantra you need to know, period.
