CHINMAYA SHIVAM

Parameshwarah: The Supreme Lord. It also means one who is Supreme and who is the Lord. Lord Shiva is the karmaphala daata - giver of the fruits of actions. He blesses the devotees with their desired results. Though one worships devatas, they are not independent. Lord alone is independent and supreme to give all results. Hence one should worship the Supreme alone. He grants purity of mind to those who dedicates actions to Him. He also liberates one from all bondages.

Taarakah: One who liberates us from the bondages of the world. One who helps us cross over all our troubles. One who rescues us & helps us through the difficulties and problems. One who takes one across the ocean of samsaara is Taarakaha.

One who initiates his devotees with the pranava mantra in their last stages and liberates them. The lord initiates the tāraka bramha mantra (Omkaara) when a being's embodied-soul is getting out of its body and by that initiation the being experiences Eternity and is liberated. Taaraka mantra Ram also is given in initiation to the Jiva who dies at Kashi.

Anantah: One who is Limitless. Lord Shiva is not limited by time, space and objects. We exist in a certain period of time. We were not present before birth and we will not exist in this form after death. Lord Shiva is Eternal. We exist in one place at a time. Lord Shiva is all pervading. I am a human and hence I am not an animal, a bird etc but Lord Shiva alone appears as everything and is the existence in everything. He is not limited by objects. This name is praised in the vedas सत्यंज्ञानमनन्तं ब्रह्म satyaṃjñānamanantaṃ brahma

Sahasraakshah: One who has thousand eyes. The numbers hundred, thousand and ten thousand are used in scriptures to indicate limitlessness. One who is witness of everything that happens anywhere. Therefore, the devotee is also confident that his/her salutations do receive the attention of Rudra even though He is seated high up on the Kailasa Mountain.

The infinity of the number of eyes denotes the Lord's limitless capacity of seeing. Seeing also indicates knowing. He is all seer and all knower. Lord Shiva resides in everyone and hence everyone's eyes are described as the eyes of the Lord. Eyes also represent all senses of Knowledge. He is Omniscient.

Purusha suktam says - Sahasrashirsha purushaha sahasraakshah sahasrapaat.

This name is praised in the vedas नमो अस्तु नीलग्रीवाय सहस्राक्षाय मीढुषे namo astu nīlagrīvāya sahasrākṣāya mīḍhuṣe

Indra also is called Sahasraaksha. Salutations to the Lord who is Indra. He is the god of Rains and we survive only because of rains. Beings are thrilled because of the rains.

Avyaktaha: Who is unmanifest and one who cannot be understood by mind or caught by reasoning and by thoughts. One who is beyond all perceptions. Only through intuitive experience one can know the Infinite. Not by any amount of words or philosophies or logic or emotions. They can be helpful to a certain extent. The Truth is beyond all finite experiences. Shiva is that Pure Consciousness which is Infinite. Avyakta also means Maya shakti of the Supreme.

Dakshaadhvaraharaha: One who destroyed the sacrifice of Daksha. Daksha conducted a sacrifice without inviting Lord Shiva. It is called as Nireeshwara yāga. This shows the pride and ignorance of Daksha. The word daksha means skilful. Daksha is the symbol of every person who is egoistic and proud of his skill and one who doesn’t understand that the prime reason for all the skills possessed by one is the gift of God's Grace. Lord Shiva punished Daksha and corrected his mistake and blessed him with wisdom.
