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.".

“The best of us would rather be popular than right.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“Ours is a culture based on excess, on overproduction; the result is a steady loss of sharpness in our sensory experience. All the conditions of modern life—its material plenitude, its sheer crowdedness—conjoin to dull our sensory faculties.”
