परमेश्वर

The supreme God, the ultimate lord of lords, the absolute divine sovereign

परम ईश्वर, सर्वोच्च प्रभु, ईश्वरों के ईश्वर, अंतिम दिव्य शासक

परमेश्वर — सबसे ultimate title — जिससे आगे कुछ नहीं। India में 'Parameshwar' और 'Parameshwari' popular names — parents' highest aspiration। Kedarnath, Kashi Vishwanath, Somnath — हर Jyotirlinga में शिव Parameshwar as हैं। Supreme Court — highest court — judicial Parameshvar। Mount Everest — highest peak — geographical Parameshvar। Nobel Prize — highest honour — academic Parameshvar। लेकिन सब 'supreme' relative हैं — absolutely supreme सिर्फ़ शिव। Name #500 — halfway milestone of the Sahasranama — और यह नाम perfect है — Parameshvara — सर्वोच्च, अंतिम, absolute।

ॐChant as the supreme invocation of Shiva. Ideal during Maha Shivaratri's peak worship hour. Invoke as the ultimate prayer. Powerful during Jyotirlinga darshan and as the closing name of any puja sequence.
