Rudram Namakam Chamakam Yagna

Rudram Namakam Chamakam Meaning | Significance of Rudram Chamakam Puja

Shri Rudram is a powerful hymn and a prayer that is recited to revere and to worship the Supreme, Lord Shiva. Sri Rudram finds its mention in the Krishna Yajurveda's Taittiriya Samhita. This mantra or hymn comprises of two chapters which are mentioned in the 4th Khanda (book) of the Krishna Yajurveda's Taittiriya Samhita. These two chapters are 'Namakam' and 'Chamakam'.   

The uniqueness of this stotra or hymn is that it is dedicated to the all-pervading forms of Lord Shiva which is the 'Rudra-Shiva' which means worshipping the Lord in His Rudra (terrifying, angry, and destructive) form while, also worshipping Him in His Shiva form which is calm, auspicious, and serene. This represents the Ying - Yang nature of Shiva's existence symbolizing the balance that is in nature and the cosmos around us.

What is Sri Rudram Namakam Chamakam?

Rudram Chamakam meaning as mentioned above is two chapters of 'Shri Rudram'. Namakam forms the fifth chapter and Chamakam is the seventh chapter of the main stotra in the 4th book of Krishna Yajurveda's Taittiriya Samhita. The fifth chapter of the Sri Rudram Namakam Chamakam is known as 'Namakam' like the word Nama, Namo or Namah are often used at the end of every verse.   

Namakam is a prayer in which the devotee worships Lord Shiva in His Rudra forms by calling out the various names of those forms invoking Him to take the benevolent form. The devotees also ask Him to take the auspicious form and seek forgiveness for their sins. The word 'Namah' is a Sanskrit word which refers to paying 'homage' or venerating or salutation to Lord Shiva. The literal meaning of the word 'Namah' is formed by joining two words where the word 'Na' means 'no' or 'not' and the word 'Ma' refers to mine, thus the literal translation of Namah is 'not mine'. The word 'Namah' thus is often used to show humbleness and one's expression of submitting self to the Supreme power, Lord Shiva.   

After offering prayers to Rudra and recognizing Him in the Namakam, Chamakam is immediately recited. In Chamakam, the devotees offer prayers to the Lord asking Him to bless them with 347 boons specifically. Chamakam specifies human happiness and states a list of highest demands that an individual can ask for from the Lord. It talks about various desires and how to ask for them and equally receive them from the Lord. The core of Chamakam is steadily planted in the desires which are worldly which finally leads to the fulfilment of wishes that are divine.  

The objective of the Sri Rudram Namakam Chamakam is to pray over all the names of Rudra through Namakam and to request the Lord to be calm in all His Rudra and fierce forms. It is a puja vidhi done to acknowledge the presence of Lord Shiva in our life and to learn from the Supreme. Through Chamakam we offer prayers to the Lord to bless us by granting our wishes and desires and to gain spiritual and material heights. Some of the verses mentioned in Sri Rudram Namakam Chamakam also gives us the opportunity to invoke deities like Lord Vishnu, Lord Agni seeking their help to ask the Supreme Lord Shiva to bless us in all walks of life. This powerful puja helps the devotees to overcome all the hurdles that keep them from succeeding in life. Moreover, it also fills life with peace and establishes harmonious relationship between family members. It also elevates the devotee spiritually and offers material and worldly bliss.

Rudram consists of five major parts:

Ganpati Atharvashirsha  
Anganyas  
Panchamrut Snanam  
Namakam  
Chamakam  

It ends with recitation of Purush Sukta and Durga Sukta.
