Guest guest Posted December 20, 2002 Report Share Posted December 20, 2002 Namaste For the devotees of Lord shiva, today is an important auspicious day because today was the day when the cosmic dance was enacted for the darshan of two great devotees Patanjali and VyAghra-pAda. The festival is called Arudra-darshanaM in the temple of Chidambaram and in all shiva centres of pilgrimage. I have a question on the following shiva stotra which I picked up fifty years ago from All India Radio Madras. But I have not been able to locate the text anywhere in print. Where does it come from? Who is the author? I think it must be a piece of eight verses of which I have only seven. What is the last one?The first of them is: ati-bhIShaNa kaTu-bhAshaNa yama-kinkara paTalI kR^ita-tADana pari-pIDana maranAgata-samaye / umayA saha mama cetasi yama-shAsana nivasan shiva-shankara shiva-shankara hara me hara duritaM // It goes on like this. The last quarter of each sloka is the same as that of the above. I recently searched in the Sanskrit documents site. But I could not find it there. praNAms to all advaitins profvk ===== Prof. V.

I briefly scanned the archives for information and thank all for their contributions. I inadvertently posted photographs on Harsha's site which I humbly offer in homage to Nature's Nataraja... posted today at Re: What color is this? : One + One = One : Two Lamps: One Light Namaste, Joyce Prof. V.
