Namaste,

I have tried to explain to a couple of people who have no knowledge of Hinduism at all the meaning of Om Namah Shivaya, and have found it very difficult to do.

I was wondering, how would others explain this concept to another with minimal knowledge of the subject? It seems that there is so much meaning behind it that words escape me that can describe it.

I am also curious, what it means to each of you personally as well.

Pranam.
