When I was younger on the healing path, Blue Shiva came to me in a vision. Until I saw pictures years later, I did not know who and what he represented.
Shiva as part of the great Hindu triad is known as the destroyer or transformer. He is also known as the great meditator. There are many ways to chant to Shiva, and this mantra really resonated with me when I first heard it from an inspired yogi. Shvia's power to pull me towards a meditative state quickly, accompanied by the shruti box was the root of my practice for many years.
lyrics
Om na ma shiva
Om na ma shiva
Om na ma shiva
para poor num (the fullness of all the is)
shivo hum (I am the ground of being)
emm emm
shivo hum
