This mantra is dedicated to Lord Shiva . This Mantra appears as' Na' ' Ma' ' Śi' ' Vā' and' Ya' in the Yajurveda in the Shri Rudram hymn . </P> <P> Namah Shivaya means "adoration (namas) to Lord Shiva", preceded by the devotional syllable "Om". The syllable "Ya" at the end of the mantra denotes an offering . Thus the mantra Om Namah Shivaya actually means "I offer to Shiva a respectful invocation of His Name", and not merely "I respectfully invoke His Name". </P>
