Jai Sriman Narayana !!
Hara Hara Nama Parvathi Pathaye Hara Hara Mahadeva !!
Linga Puranam describes the glory of Kshadakshara Mantra which consists of a six letter word : 'Om Nama Shivaya'.
During the Threytha Yuga (Meghavahan Kalpa), there lived a Brahmin - Dhundhamukh. Due to the curse of a Sage, he became immoral possessing all wicked habits. His wife gave birth to a child on the day of Amavasya. The astrologers predicted a very bleak future for the new born. As the child grew up, he possessed all the immoral behaviours of his father. Though his parents found a girl to marry him and got married from the virtuous family. He had illicit relationship with an outcasted woman. One day, he had an argument with the woman and in a sudden rage he killed her. As a revenge on Dhundhamukh's son, the outcasted woman's family assassinated the entire family of Dhundhamukh - his wife and daughter-in-law. Dhundhamukh's son took vengeance on the family of the outcasted woman.
The sudden disheartened events brought Dhundhamukh's son aversion towards life and he started wandering aimlessly. Finally, he reached the hermitage of a Sage. The sage was a great devotee of Lord Shiva. He taught Dhundhamukh's son about the rituals of Pashupath Vrata and the Glory of Kshadakshaa Mantra - 'Om Nama Shivaya' . He continued to live an austere life chanting the Kshadakshara Mantra ' Om Nama Shivaya' . The glory of the Kshadakshara Mantra and the austere life brought him and his ancestors 'Salvation' and they attained the Abode of Lord Shiva.
Jaya Jaya Sankara Hara Hara Sankara !!
Jai Sriman Narayana !!
