Shiv Mahapuran 3.8: वर्णन of शब्दब्रह्म तनु | Shiv as Om| Connection of alphabets with Shiv

In the Shiva Purana, specifically in the Vidyeshvara Samhita (Chapter 8), the description of Shabda Brahman Tanu (the "Word-Brahman Body") depicts Lord Shiva not merely as a deity but as the primordial vibration and sound from which the universe originates. Key Aspects of the Shabda Brahman Tanu The description focuses on how the physical and metaphysical aspects of the universe are manifestations of sacred syllables and mantras: Omkara (ॐ) as the Body: The entire form of Lord Shiva is described as being composed of the Pranava (Om). A-kara (A): Represents his right eye. U-kara (U): Represents his left eye. Ma-kara (M): Represents his third eye. Bindu & Nada: These represent his head and face, signifying the transcendent aspects of sound. The Five-Faced Form (Pancha-Brahman): Shiva is described through five specific faces, each corresponding to a primordial sound and element: Ishana: The upper face, presiding over the individual soul and sky. Tatpurusha: The eastern face, presiding over touch and wind. Aghora: The southern face, presiding over sight and fire. Vamadeva: The northern face, presiding over taste and water. Sadyojata: The western face, presiding over smell and earth. Mantra as Physique: The text asserts that Shiva’s body is "Mantra-maya" (composed of mantras). Specifically, the Panchakshara Mantra (Namah Shivaya) and the Gayatri Mantra are identified as the very limbs of this divine "Word-Body". Alphabetical Correlation: Different letters of the Sanskrit alphabet are mapped to parts of his body, such as the vowels forming his head and the consonants forming his various limbs, emphasizing that language and existence are inseparable from him. Significance This description serves to bridge the gap between the Nirguna (formless) and Saguna (with form) aspects of Shiva. By viewing Shiva as Shabda Brahman, a devotee understands that every sacred chant or sound is a direct encounter with the divine body of the Lord.
