Continuing the focus on Lord Shiva. Calling the name of the Lord itself will bring purification. Om NamaH Shivaaya...
In Vedic chanting, the meter (rhythm) is of immense value and the structuring can be kept simple (for children and learners) through to highly complex. The Ghana-paatha is considered the most intricate of chanting forms, as it incorporates others as well as working in almost a 'spiral' in upon itself. The 'cchandas' (meter) holds a spiritual value beyond the mere words and syllables of the mantra. In purist tradition, of course, no music as such is included. However, for the untrained ear, Srimati Uma Mohan-ji's offerings, keeping chanting tradition but with musical underpinnings, gives a wonderful introduction. Do now enjoy her version of Sri Shiva Mantra in Ghana-paatha cchandas.
