Sri Rudram - Hymn with English subtitles (Anuvaka 1-4) - The Powerful Ve...



This pre-eminent Vedic hymn to Lord Shiva and Rudra is chanted daily in Shiva temples throughout India. It is in this long prayer, located in the middle of the Yajur Veda, Taittiriya Samhita, that the Saivite mantra Namah Sivayaha appears.

There are two parts for the Sri Rudram under the fourth chapter. The fifth Sub chapter is the Namakam and Seventh Sub Chapter is the Chamakam.

Namakam - I bow to thee, Chamkam - is within me

The Rudram has 11 sections or anuvakas. Each anuvaka has several mantras. The 1st, 10th and 11th anuvakas are PRAYERS to the Lord.

The 2nd through 9th anuvakas are GLORIFICATIONS of the Lord. These chants are about His mahima or greatness. Therefore it is also called Shiva Mahimna Stotra.

The sounds of this mantra connect you to your inner being. Listening and chanting it with deep understanding will give you the meaning of life, its pain, its bondage and shows the path to liberation through surrender to Lord Shiva and Lord Rudra.... the destruction and regenerative power the key to our evolution

Shri Rudram is also known as Sri Rudraprasna, Satarudriya, and Rudradhyaya.
