   As Devi Parvati desired to comprehend the meaning of the Panchaakshra Mantra of Om Namasshivaaya, Parama Shiva explained the back ground: when the Universe became extinct at the Time of Pralaya, only he was present as Narayana who floated on the Great Water Surface as the Unique and Supreme Being. As he was thus lying on water, there sprouted a Lotus from his navel and on top of the stem emerged Brahma who desired to initiate ‘Srishti’ (Creation). He created ten ‘Manasa Putras’or Mind-Born Sons, but prayed to the Supreme Being ie. Maha Deva to empower him with Shakti to take up the exciting task of formal Creation. Then the latter provided ‘Upadesha’(instruction) to Brahma and in turn Brahma gave the Upadesha to his sons who did sincere Tapasya by the recitation of the Panchakshari for thousands of years, consuming only air and nothing else. Shiva was pleased with the meditaton and keeping in view the ‘Loka Kalyaana’ or Universal Welfare explained the purport of the Mantra, its Rishi, Devata, Shakti, Nyasa, Viniyoga and its Sampurna Swarupa or its Full Form: Omityekaashram Mantram sthitah sarvagatah Shivah, Mantrey shadaksha –rey sukshmey panchaakshara tavuh Shivah/ Vaachya vaachaka bhaavena sthitah saakshaat- swabhaavatah, Vaachya Shivah prameyaatwaan Mantrastadvaachakah smritah/ Vaachya Vaachaka bhavenamanaadih samsthitastayo, Vedi Shivaagamey vaapi yatra yatra Shadaksharah/  Guhyaadguhyataram saakshaanmoksha Jnaanamanuttamam, Asya Mantrasya vakshyaami Rishicchandodhi Daivatam/ Beejam Shaktih Swaram varn am sthaanam chaivaaksharam prati, Vamadevo naama Rishih Panktiscchanda udaatdhrutah/ Devataa Shiva yevaaham Mantrasyaasya varaananey, Nakaaraadeeni beejaani Panchabhutaatmakaanicha/
