BACK DESIGN: The Damru: The Cosmic Drum of Shiva

The Damru (also spelled Damaru) is not just an ordinary drum; it is a profound symbol of the universe and its continuous cycle of creation and destruction, played by Lord Shiva, often in his form as Nataraja (the Cosmic Dancer).

• Sound of Creation: The sound (′nada′) emanating from the Damru is believed to be the primordial sound of the universe, the very first vibration that created all of existence.
• Symbol of Time: Its unique hourglass shape, where the two triangular parts meet at a thin center, symbolizes the universe's transition from the unmanifested to the manifested—representing the flow and reversal of time. The two sides of the Damru are said to represent the masculine (Puruṣa) and feminine (Prakriti) energies.
• The Power of Rhythm: When Shiva performs the $Tandava dance (the powerful dance of destruction and creation), the beat of the Damru sets the rhythm for the entire cosmos, breaking down old forms and ushering in the new.

FRONT DESIGN: The Om Namah Shivaya Mantra

The Om Namah Shivaya mantra is one of the most revered and potent mantras in Hinduism, often called the Panchaakshara (five-syllable) mantra (excluding 'Om').

• Meaning: The mantra translates to "I bow to Shiva" or "Adoration to Shiva."
• Cosmic Representation: Each of the five syllables (Na, Ma, Shi, Va, Ya) is said to correspond to the five elements of the universe-

Na: Earth Ma: Water Shi: Fire Va: Air Ya: Space (or Sky/Ether)
Chanting the mantra helps purify these five elements within the body, making it a powerful tool for spiritual awakening and peace.

• The Power of 'Om': The Om preceding the mantra is the fundamental sound of the universe, often chanted to unify the individual with the supreme reality, or Brahman.
