शिवध्यानपूजनवर्णनम्
Description of Śiva Meditation and Worship
ब्रह्मरन्धांतमुच्चार्य ध्यायेदोंकारगोचरम् । शुद्धस्फटिकसंकाशं देवं निष्कलमक्षरम्
brahmarandhāṃtamuccārya dhyāyedoṃkāragocaram | śuddhasphaṭikasaṃkāśaṃ devaṃ niṣkalamakṣaram
برہمرندھر تک اس ناد کو ادا کر کے، اومکار سے گم्य پروردگار کا دھیان کرے—جو خالص بلور کی مانند روشن، الٰہی، بےجزو اور اَکشَر (لازوال) حقیقت ہے۔
Suta Goswami (narrating Shiva’s yogic teaching within Kailasa discourse)
Tattva Level: pati
Shiva Form: Dakṣiṇāmūrti
Mantra: ॐ (oṃkāra)
Role: teaching
It teaches nirguṇa (niṣkala) Śiva-dhyāna through Oṃ: the yogin internalizes the mantra, lifts awareness to the brahmarandhra, and contemplates the imperishable, partless Lord as pure, crystal-like consciousness—aiming at liberation (mokṣa).
While Liṅga and saguna worship give a concrete support for devotion and concentration, this verse points to the niṣkala reality signified by the Liṅga—Śiva beyond form—approached here through Oṃ as the subtle support (ālambana) for meditation.
A yogic japa-dhyāna: intone Oṃ inwardly, guide the current of awareness upward to the brahmarandhra, and meditate on Śiva as niṣkala-akṣara (partless, imperishable). This is a mantra-based meditation rather than an external rite.
