Sri Rudram

Sri Rudram,also known as Rudraprasna,is a hymn devoted to lord Shiva,Sri Rudram comprises of two parts, The first part known as Namakam(because of the repeated use of word 'Namo' in it) is found in the Krishna Yajurveda, Taittariya Samhita in the fourth chapter, The second part known as Chamakam (because of repeated use of word 'Chame') is found in the seventh chapter,It is one of the most sacred and powerful Vedic hymns and is recited in poojas and homam by Vedic pundits for all round benefits.

Sri Rudram is found in the Krishna Yajurveda, Taittariya Samhita along with its companion text Chamakam. Like all Vedic texts it is pleasing to the ear but confounding to the intellect. The melody and rhythm are unique and comfortable from the first listening, but once you dive into the meaning the problems arise! In some ways it helps to start with the understanding that these Vedic verses are the cognition of an ancient Rishi. In Sanskrit 'rishi' means enlightened seer and this hymn is simply a record of what he saw. All of creation is a manifestation of three forces; creation, preservation, and destruction. The creation force is Brahma, preservation is Vishnu, and destruction is Rudra. So Sri Rudram is both recognition and praise for the vital place Rudra holds in creation. Imagine for a moment that you are a rishi and wish to record your vision of this force of nature. How all encompassing the force of destruction is and varied are the ways in which it manifests in everything from thunder in nature, to war among men. And at the same time there are more desirable and gentle forms of 'destruction' as the old makes way for the new and the depth of ignorance gives way to the freedom and happiness of enlightenment. Particularly today we see so much seemingly senseless destruction around us that it becomes completely bewildering! How can we account for that apparent contradiction? And even if we understand it, what can we do about it? In the Vedic tradition, all the deities have two seemingly contradictory manifestations peaceful and fierce. In the Rig Veda, Rudra is associated with the dramatic fierceness of the thunderstorm and lightening which strikes at men and cattle, but which through the rain is the source of peace and plenty. Rudra is the fierce aspect and Shiva the calm aspect of the deity most often referred to as Shiva.
