The meditation mantra 'Om Namah Shivaya' is known as the 'Panchakshari' or 'Five Syllabled' mantra, which resonates with each of the five elements of the body as it is chanted, bringing mind and body into a state of balance and peace. It is also an invocation and honoring ('namah') of the purity of our own spiritual nature.

This musical rendition by Doug Keller is an aid to meditation. The melody and rhythm is steady, sweet and unvarying — and thus supports rather than distracts from your meditation.

In keeping with the benevolent nature of the mantra, all proceeds from the sale of this CD are donated to Oxfam.
