Yoga Yoga Yogeshwaraya Mantra

This mantra pays homage to the five fundamental forms of Śiva.¹ Yogeshwara: The process of Yoga is to reach beyond the restraints of physical manifestation and touch what boundless. Bhuteshwara: The pancha bhutas, literally “five elements”, account for all of creation. One who has mastered these five elements determines the destiny of his life in the physical realm. Kaleswaraya: Kala means “time” and “darkness”. The physical is bound to light and light to time. Therefore, time lies beyond the scope of the physical and must be mastered separately. Sarveshwara: Shiva means “that which is not.” It is the basis of everything. Even modern science recognizes that the universe is about 68% dark energy and roughly 27% dark matter, meaning anything we can ever hope to see accounts for less than 5%.² Shambho: The gentle form of Shiva. With Shiva’s grace may we be granted a key. Maha means “great” and deva means “deity” or “god”.
