Sri Rudram - Hymn with English subtitles (Anuvaka 1-4) - The Powerful Vedic hymn about Lord Shiva

English Translation by Ramesh Krishnakumar, to the mesmerising chanting rendered by Vedic Priests of India

This pre-eminent Vedic hymn to Lord Shiva and Rudra is chanted daily in Shiva temples throughout India. It is in this long prayer, located in the middle of the Yajur Veda, Taittiriya Samhita, that the Saivite mantra Namah Sivayaha appears.

There are two parts for the Sri Rudram under the fourth chapter. The fifth Sub chapter is the Namakam and Seventh Sub Chapter is the Chamakam.

Namakam - I bow to thee, Chamkam - is within me

The Rudram has 11 sections or anuvakas. Each anuvaka has several mantras. The 1st, 10th and 11th anuvakas are PRAYERS to the Lord.

The 2nd through 9th anuvakas are GLORIFICATIONS of the Lord. These chants are about His mahima or greatness. Therefore it is also called Shiva Mahimna Stotra.

The sounds of this mantra connect you to your inner being. Listening and chanting it with deep understanding will give you the meaning of life, its pain, its bondage and shows the path to liberation through surrender to Lord Shiva and Lord Rudra.... the destruction and regenerative power the key to our evolution

Shri Rudram is also known as Sri Rudraprasna, Satarudriya, and Rudradhyaya.

Once you have learnt and understood the Sri Rudram in Sanskrit, you will feel a spiritual elevation

It is a great work for all spiritual seekers and for those who want to learn to chant Rudram correctly. It is important to chant it correctly to create appropriate vibrations and get the Lord's blessings.

Really appreciate the translation part --

I never knew the meaning of these beautiful vedic chants.

The correct Sur is: Om namo bhagavaTE rudraya | naMAste rundra manyaVA utota iSHve naMAha | naMAste astu dhANVAne bahuBHYAmuta te naMAha | ya ta ishusivaTAmaa sivam babhuVA te dhaNUhu | ..........Where capital letters indicate loud utterance.

Thank you! Great work! By far the best rudram video. I shared this video with several of my friends. The translation is fair enough, may not be the most accurate. Secondly, the pronunciation of Namakam and Chamakam is crystal clear but is missing proper 'swaram' (sur in Hindi). Very few know the real vedic swaram.
