I seek refuge in the incomparable meditation of Lord Sadashiva, which is the

fertile land for growing various types of joys, which brings out tears of

happiness, which is scintillating and praised by those who seek the eternal

state of Moksha or liberation.

I surrender to sadhaasivadhyaanam which is uthamOthamam that is worshipped

by those desiring mOkshasthalam of kailaasa, that raises one's hair in

horripilation and that which sends out tears of joy in torrents.

'sadhaa' stands for Paarvathi's swaroopam and Sivan stands for ParamEswara

swaroopam. Sadhaasiva thathwam should be known as the akhanda aanandha

thathwam consisting of the inseparable paarvathi-paramEswaraaL. It is

important that no upaasana should be done separating Siva and Shakthi. This

is underscored by AachaaryaaL by the use of the word " parama " , that is,

sadhaasiva thathvam is vilakshaNam to jatadEhaathis, sadhaasiva thathvam is

that which is sarvOthkrushtam and uthamOthama thathvam and that thathvam is

the swaroopam of sadhaasiva.

Nama: paarvathee pathayE hara hara mahaadeva!
