Actually Rudram starts with Nyasam, meaning the one who chants would
visualize himself with each of his parts of the body to a deity.. (for e.g. in
laghunyasam it starts with 'Paadhayoar Vishnushthishtathu" meaning
visualizing Vishnu in our part Toes.)

Then we surrender our Body, Mind and Spirit (atma) to him and become
one with him (for e.g. it starts with "Agnirmae Vachissruthaha ..
Vaaghrudhayae.. in fact this whole paragraph will be repeated with
"Hrdhayam" (heart), this will quieten our heart )

It is then the sankalpa and the effect of Rudra Parayanam will be

distributed to the whole world (Shri Samba Sadhashiva Prasada
Sidhyarthae Japae Viniyogaha)

Now the person chanting Rudra himself will become the Lord and chants
the dhyanam.
Before one does a ritualistic puja, one sanctifies oneself by uttering,
among other things, a passage from Yajur-veda beginning with agnir-me-
vAci-shritaH. This passage recalls how every subtle sense organ is to be
re-fixed back into its source so that when the puja takes place the body
and its contents are not any more physical, but they are elevated to their
divine sources.
That is why , mind is dissolved into the moon, speech into the fire, sight
into the sun, blood and semen into water and hearing into the directions.
Look at the following lines from the vedic passage, in order to understand
the above comment.

agnir-me-vAci shritaH : Fire is seated in my speech

vAg hRdaye : Speech, in the heart
hRdayaM mayi : heart, in Me
aham-amRte : this I in immortality
amRtaM brahmaNi: Immortality, in brahman.

vAyur-me prANe shritaH : Air is seated in my prANa (life-breath)

prANa in the heart, heart in Me, ..., Immortality in brahman.

sUryo me cakshhushhi shritaH : Sun is seated in my eyes

cakshur-hRdaye .... amRtaM brahmaNi.
And so on it goes for the following also:

Moon is seated in my Mind .....

The Directions are seated in my ears ....
Water is seated in my semen and blood ......
Earth is seated in my body ....
The Lords of the herbs are seated in my hairs .....
Indra is seated in my strength ....
Rain God is seated in my head ...
Lord IshAna is seated in my anger ...
Atman is seated in my Atman ...
OTHER EXPLANATION

The meaning of this beautiful hymn, as I could translate, is

given below

Fire
is in my words. Words in heart. Heart is mine.
I am the eternal wine. Eternity in Brahma.
Air
is in my breath. Breath in heart. Heart is mine.
I am the eternal wine. Eternity in Brahma.
Sun
is in my eyes. Eyes in heart. Heart is mine.
I am the eternal wine. Eternity in Brahma.
Moon
is in my mind. Mind in heart. Heart is mine.
I am the eternal wine. Eternity in Brahma.
Directions
in my ear. Ear in heart. Heart is mine.
I am the eternal wine. Eternity in Brahma.
Primordial
water in my sperms. Sperms in heart. Heart is mine.
I am the eternal wine. Eternity in Brahma.
Earth
is in my body. Body in heart. Heart is mine.
I am the eternal wine. Eternity in Brahma.
The
plants are trees in my hair. Hair in heart. Heart is
mine.
I am the eternal wine. Eternity in Brahma.
Lightning
is in my power. Power in heart. Heart is mine.
I am the eternal wine. Eternity in Brahma.
The
rain in my head. Head in heart. Heart is mine.
I am the eternal wine. Eternity in Brahma.

How blissful the thoughts are! A bliss that can't be

found in today's prayers! They the vedic sages - must have been higher
than
us, blissful than us feeling the divine! Feeling the sky, ocean and
universe
as one, feeling the head and heart as one, feeling the body and universe
as
one! To them, they are the eternal and the eternal wine that would be
consumed,
at the same time; to them, they are the Yajna (Creation), Yajnikas
(Creators;
doers) and Balimriga (the stuff; the sufferer; the one which would be
destroyed, slaughtered and consumed) at the same time!! The law,
lawgiver, and
the living/non-living universe obeying the law all becomes one!!! What a
mind that
is, which could visualize it all and feel it so strongly within!!!
This is a prayer beyond all
prayers! Like a prayer the sage alive - Feeling the rhythm; being the
rhythm;
being one with the dynamic eternal!!!
Enjoy the eternal life!!!
Let us go through those blissful
thoughts again Fire in my words, Air in breath, Sun
in eyes, Moon in mind, Directions in ears, Primordial ocean in sperms,
Earth in
body, plants and trees in hair, Lightning in power, Rain in head; All in heart
(I am blissful!); heart is mine; I am the eternal wine (drink me!), eternity is
in knowing the ultimate, being in the ultimate!!! (You are eternal! Be it!)
This is Siva Sankalpa! Knowing Siva
the bliss! Siva the ultimate! Siva, the bliss within, and the universe are
one
and the same! Fire, Air, Moon, Directions, Primordial
Ocean, Earth, Plants, Lightning,
Rain all are Sakti (Power, Stuff the female counterpart of Siva the bliss
within and without). But both are one the ultimate (call it
Brahma/Brahman)! Siva Sankalpa means
knowing me and the universe as ONE!!! Me the drop eternal and universe
the
ocean eternal. Siva, the bliss within, manifest for those who could feel it!!
Descriptions of the ultimate fail to reach there, but the poetic expression
of
ones own feeling can better express the inner truth and so instead of
resorting to descriptions let us feel
Fire
is in my words. Words in heart. Heart is mine.
I am the eternal wine. Eternity in Brahma.
..
Sun
is in my eyes. Eyes in heart. Heart is mine.
I am the eternal wine. Eternity in Brahma.
Moon
is in my mind. Mind in heart. Heart is mine.
I am the eternal wine. Eternity in Brahma.
..
Earth
is in my body. Body in heart. Heart is mine.
I am the eternal wine. Eternity in Brahma.
..
The
rain in my head. Head in heart. Heart is mine.
I am the eternal wine. Eternity in Brahma.
Let that rain be the rain of Brhma
Jnana..the eternal wine!! Amrita dhara. And we all.
Amritasya putra,
the children of eternity.Ohm
This hymn is found both in Rig and Yajur Veda. Recite this hymn and feel the eternal bliss within and
outside.

agnirme vci rita | vgdhdaye | hdaya mayi | ahamamte |

amta brahmai |



this comes in Mahanyasa by uttering the first para simply hold a flower over the siva linga and
when mantra is offer to the Lord Siva. It is prayer and invoking siva's power into us.

We hold a flower over Rudra linga and utter the mantra agnirme vaci sritah....till atma amrutam
mayi.

CORRECTED AND RIGHT METHOD AS BELOW

1. We hold a flower in right hand and touch mouth and recite =
agnirme vci rita |

2. Then we bring it(flower) near heart and recite = vgdhdaye |
hdaya mayi | ahamamte |

3. Finally we move it (flower) over shiv Linga and recite =
amta brahmai |
