Shankar is a name for Shiva, one the 3 main dieties in the Indian pantheon. His dance is the rythm of
the world, the beat of the heart, the cycle of day and night. He lives in the Himalayas, and lies in the
mountains smoking cannabis and his hair flows down from the mountains as the holy river Ganges.
His worhippers include "sadhus" wandering mendicants whose worship includes smoking chillums
of hash, so they became very popular with the wandering freak set India.
bom, or boom, or bem, or bam is a sound -- a sharp sound.
Boom Shiva: it is said by sadhus before they light the chillum to :
a) sanctify it Shiva
b) let Shiva know the chillum is being smoked
c) let other sadhus et al know to come share a chillum
Loosely translted as : OH shiva..im smoking a chillum, hey you sadhus, come and share it with me"
Other varients: boom, bem, bom, bam, boom, boom shiva, boom mahadev (greatgod), bembaleh.
