Popular Culture
"Om Namha Shivaye" also meaning, "Oh My God!" is recited in the film Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom as a man is lowered into a fiery pit. In her autobiographical memoir, Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia (2007), Elizabeth Gilbert explained that the first chant provided by her Guru was "Om Namah Shivaya." Gilbert wrote that this meant "I honor the divinity within me.".
