Screwed up Grammar

Second sentance is: Its translation is "adoration (namas to Śiva", preceded by the mystical syllable "Aum".

Where is the second parentheses, ")" to close the "(" before "namas"??

Is is supposed to read as follows?: Its translation is "adoration (namas) to Śiva", preceded by the mystical syllable "Aum" ?

As is currently is, it is incomplete and unclear.

Opening comment

The Shaivite religion is arguably the oldest religion in the world.

Sholdn't alternate spellings redirect here? I put in "Om Namo Shivaya" and got nothing.67.176.14.100 17:56, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Correct spelling is Om Namah Shivaya

I don't know why people insist in writing the mantra "Om" as "Aum". English transliteration is "Om", French transliteration is "Aum". Is this so difficult to understand? Besides, the article is terribly written, shabby information, no sign of scholar's hand...—Ana Bruta (talk) 10:10, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

INCORRECT

the Shiva Mantra is actually "Om Śivāya Namaḥ"
I was told by a Brāhmaṇa
that's the correct way of saying it
