Songs from many well-known Indian singers are featured in this serial; a few examples include the title song "Om Namah Shivay" ([[Pandit Jasraj]]), "Rudra Rudra" ([[Vinod Rathod]] and [[Udit Narayan]], episode 53), and "Trikal Darsh" (episode 89), "Man Mein Ek Kamna" (episode 62), and "Maha Shivratri Aayi" ([[Alka Yagnik]]).

Unity is created in the series by using the same songs for different scenes, or even the same melodies with different lyrics, to soundtrack a recurring theme or situation.  For example, the creation of each Jyotirling is accompanied by a chorus of the song "Ajar Amar Shiv Shankar."  "Dharm Na Janu," sung by the boy Upmanyyu in episode 58, later becomes the melody for the song "Jeevan Kya Hai," which the young [[Markandeya]] sings in episode 168; each child sings to seek Shiva's protection through prayer.  Indra, Narada, and the Devatas sing "Om Shri Tripund Dhari" to ask rescue from Shiva in episode 56; [[Sachi]] then sings the same melody as a prayer to [[Shakti]], "Jai Shakti Dayini Maa," in episode 100.
 
Continuity is also created between different performers with music.  For instance, the song "Maha Shivratri Aayi" is sung by Shiva's first wife Sati, and then by his second wife Parvati, both celebrating the great festival of [[Maha Shivaratri]].

''Om Namah Shivay'' was running in parallel with another TV series called ''Shiv Mahapuran'' which was based on the same topic.
