siva manasa pooja

[Guest guest]

Jai Gurudev,

 

siva manasa pooja stotra is a very beautiful and joyful and pleasent

stotra for lord siva, it is as refreshisng as sunrise in himalayan

mountaints, its invigourating to the soul,it depends on the person

who has recited it and how it has been recited ,iam fortunate to hear

the recitation (i dont remember the person name)that gave me joy.

 

if you have the stotra and put this translation side by side , you

can really get lost in the stotra, it will help you out of trouble

and will give you inner strength,and invigourate you.

SIVA MANASA POOJA

Sri Sankaracharya

Mental Worship Of Siva

1. O Lord! Thou ocean of mercy, O Pasupati! Do accept these offerings

conceived in my

mind, viz., a Simhasana adorned with precious rubies, a pleasant cool

bath, a splendid garment

adorned with various gems, sandal-paste scented with musk, a garland

made up of jasmine,

Champaka flowers and Bilva leaves, incense and light.

2. O Lord! Kindly accept ghee, kheer, the fivefold food; plantain

mixed with milk and curd,

sherbert, various kinds of vegetables, palatable water, a brilliant

piece of camphor and betel—all

these food-offerings placed in a golden vessel which is bedecked with

nine kinds of precious jewels

which are conceived in my mind out of devotion to Thee.

3. The umbrella, two Chamaras, a fan and a clean mirror, the music of

the flute, the

kettledrum, the Mridanga and the horn, singing and dancing,

prostrations of the eight limbs of the

body, various hymns and prayers—all these which I have thought of

in

my mind, I duly offer to

Thee. Do accept my worship, O my Lord!

4. Thou art the Atman, Buddhi is Thy consort Parvathy (who is born of

the mountain), the

Pranas Thy attendants, this body Thy temple, the action of sensual

enjoyments Thy worship, deep

viii

sleep is the remaining in Samadhi, walking by my feet is

perambulation around Thee, all my

speeches are Thy praises, whatever actions I perform are Thy worship,

O Sambho?

5. O Lord! Forgive all the sins that are committed by the hands and

feet or the tongue

(speech) and the body, or the ears and eyes, or the mind, whether

Vihita (lawful) or Avihita

(forbidden). Glory be unto Thee, Thou ocean of mercy! Glory be unto

Thee, O Mahadeva (God of

gods)! O Sambho (bestower of happiness).

 

 

enjoy and loose your self.

 

Jai Gurudev
