सुमेरुशिखर

The one who is the peak of Mount Sumeru, the summit of the cosmic mountain

सुमेरु पर्वत का शिखर, ब्रह्मांडीय पर्वत का सर्वोच्च शीर्ष

Mount Meru — Hindu-Buddhist-Jain cosmology's axis mundi — universe's centre। Temple shikhara (spire) represents Meru — every temple a mini cosmic mountain। Angkor Wat — world's largest temple — represents Meru। Borobudur Java — Buddhist Meru representation। 'Sumeru' — 108 bead (sumeru meru bead) on japa mala — the guru bead — counting stops here and reverses. Mount Everest — Earth's physical shikhar। Shiva as Sumeru Shikhar — cosmic mountain's peak — highest possible point in the universe — when you reach the top of the universe, शिव is standing there।

ॐChant for reaching the highest peak. Ideal during Meru meditation. Invoke for summit experiences. Powerful during temple shikhara contemplation and mountain-axis meditation.
