many shankaras. When a person achieves a state void of attachment or abhorrence (samata), he becomes a shankara (Sam= impartial; kara-doer); he becomes impartial, unreactive, the doer of that which is in balance. Therefore there are many shankaras and they are all at a very high spiritual state, in other higher worlds. The one who propagates equanimity is a shankara.
When you chant the mantra, 'Om Namah Shivaya', you should simultaneously visualise the image of Shiva swaroop, the embodiment of salvation.
The Reason For Idols
When one worships Mahadev, the Lord of the Shaivites, He redirects your 'letter' (worship) to the Soul within you, saying "This is your correspondence, not mine'. This is called indirect worship (paroksha bhakti). The same applies to when one worships Lord Krishna or anyone else for that matter. Such worship is indirect worship. But what would happen if we did not have idols and images of these Gods? Without idols people would forget the real God as well as the deity that it represents. That is why idols and deities have been placed everywhere. So when people come across a temple of Mahadev, they do darshan of Mahadev. They can only do darshan if they see the image, right? Seeing the idol will jog their memory will it not? That is why idols have been placed everywhere. Ultimately it is all done for the purpose of recognizing the One that resides within.
Jai Sat Chit Anand
The first portion of the Trimantra represents the Jains, then comes the portion for the Vasudevs and the last portion represents Shiva. And 'Sat Chit Anand' includes everyone: the Moslems, the Christians, everyone else. Jai means glory. Sat means eternal. Chit means the complex of vision and knowledge. Anand means bliss. Therefore, Sat Chit Anand means that the pure awareness of the eternal is bliss.

Trimantra
Therefore Sat Chit Anand encompasses the mantra of all
people.
When you recite the complete mantra and because it is an impartial mantra, God will be pleased with you. If you remain partial towards one mantra and keep saying 'Om Namah Shivaya', it will not please the representatives and protectors of the path of other Gods. By reciting them together, you keep all of them happy.
The path of liberation through reciting the Trimantra is for the one who is beyond any sectarian insistence of his own mantra. It is for the one who sublimates his ego, insistence and opinions and accepts the Trimantra.
There are still many different kinds of people in India. It's not as if India is done with. It can never come to an end. It is the heritage, the core birthplace of all the Aryas - the original race! And a land where tirthankaras were born! Not only the tirthankaras but the birthplace of all the sixty-three shalaka purush, such is this land!
The Thundering Roar Of The Trimantra
Many people recite the mantra quietly in their mind but at the same time their mind is muddled with so many other things that the mantra gives no benefit. That is why you are told to find a place where you can be alone and then recite the mantra out loudly. It is fine if I do not say it out loud but all of you should. My mind is different altogether.
Whenever you are in an isolated place, you should recite this Trimantra in a loud voice. When you are by a river or a stream, you should say it out loud, loud enough to rattle your brain!
Questioner: The explosion that is created by speaking loudly will reach everywhere. So it is understandable why the mantra should be said out loud.
