विद्यासु श्रुतिरुत्कृष्टा रुद्रैकादशिनी श्रुतौ
तत्र पञ्चाक्षरी तस्यं शिव इत्यक्षरद्वयम्

tatra pañcākṣarī tasyaṁ śiva ityakṣaradvayam

Among the sources of learning, Vedas are Supreme; among the Vedas, Rudra Ekadasini is Supreme; in the Rudram the Panchaksari mantra ‘NamaShivaya’ is Supreme; in the Panchakshari, the two letters ‘Shiva’ stands Supreme.

Following the recitation of Sri Rudram, which recognizes Lord Shiva’s presence in all things, it is customary to chant the Chamakam. In the Chamakam, devotees seek blessings for all material aspects of life, aiming to find the path to the Divine through the fulfillment of worldly desires. Worshipping Lord Shiva during the auspicious Kartika Masa while chanting Sri Rudram can fulfill the prayers of wholehearted devotees who surrender their body, mind, and soul to Him.

Among the three roles of creation, protection, and dissolution that constitute the cycle of life, Lord Shiva serves as the destroyer of the world. He is, in a sense, the ruler of death, the body, and, in the truest sense, the ego. He annihilates the notion of ‘I’ within the human psyche. When the ego is eradicated, the Self is realized as one with the Supreme. To His genuine devotees, Lord Shiva reveals this ultimate truth.
The hymn Sri Rudram holds a special place in Lord Shiva’s heart. It affirms His presence in all aspects of the Universe, in every corner of land, air, and water. It acknowledges His presence in all that is good and bad, small and large, beautiful and ugly.
