Caution :

Chanting Vedic mantras are a very sensitive subject matter.

If not properly chanted, it may even yield negative results.

Unlike a sloka or stotram, a Mantra needs special attention. Its complex reciting rules like specific time duration to utter letters (dheergam, hrasvam, and plutam), different Intonations (Udata, Anudata, and Svarita) and meters referred as chandas and many such things.

Since this is so, It is best advised and recommended to initially start learning any Vedic Hymn from an adept GURU and then to follow further practice with the help of any tools such as this app.

Know what Shri Rudram is :

'Shri Rudram' is a Vedic hymn that forms a part of Yajur Veda.

A Prayer is something that we place as our request or demand our favourite deity. But a Salutation is something that we praise the attributes of our dearest lord and cherish those attributes in the form of bhakti.

This beautiful and unique Vedic hymn is set in such a way that,

it is not only a prayer to Lord Shiva but is also a beautiful rhythmic salutation (Namah:) that we offer to our dear lord Shiva.

There is no other Vedic mantra that has this unique feature as in 'Shri Rudram' that, the word 'Namah:'(i.e, salutation) is attached to each and every divine name of the supreme lord. Though this looks very much similar to a naamaavali, it is much greater and supreme,

as it forms a part of our holy Veda.

There is a famous saying that goes like this ...

** " camakaṁ namakaṁ caiva pauruṣasūktaṁ tathaiva ca

nityaṁ trayaṁ prayuñjāno brahmaloke mahīyate " **

Meaning -- He whoever recites Namakam and Chamakam along with Purusa Sooktam on a daily basis, will be honoured in Brahmaloka.

There is so much greatness attached to 'Shri Rudram' that the list will never end. One has to experience for himself.

When Rudram as such is referred, it means both the Namakam and Chamakam part together only. Namakam includes the salutations and Chamakam includes our prayers, each forming 11 anuvakas to resemble the 11 forms of Rudra.

May Lord Shiva Bless all.

Om Namah Shivaya.
