* TO SHIVA WITH THE ESSENCE OF VEDAS *

          

          

          ~*~

          

          I meditate on Shiva, the Great God alone,

          The Lord of beings, the Destroyer of sin,

          Whose garment is nightly sky,the elephant skin,

          And who has a river of light in his matted hair!

          ~*~

          I praise Shiva,the ever blissful Lord with five faces,

          The Great God, God of gods and the destroyer of Asuras

          The mighty lord of the Universe, besmeared with sacred ashes

          Whose three eyes are the Sun, Moon and the Cosmic fire!

          ~*~

          Lord of Bhavani,the mother of universe,with a crescent

          In His matted hair, the Great Lord who holds a Trident,

          All-pervading One, Lord of the Universe and Cosmos

          Multi formed One,Lord Absolute,O Shiva, Be kind to us!

          ~*~

          The Supreme Self and the beginning of all,

          The one seed of Creation,designated by eternal sound Aum

          The formless and the desireless One, To the adorable Lord

          From whom the world comes into being, by whom it is

          Sustained and into whom it dissolves- to Him, salutations!

          ~*~

          I praise Him who is neither the earth, nor water

          Nor Fire, nor Air nor Ether, who is neither at

          Rest nor at sleep, who is neither affected by heat

          Nor by cold, who has neither a place nor any attire!

          ~*~

          I worship Shiva, the eternal One, who has no birth

          Nor death,the cause of all causes, Auspicious One, 

          Supreme Lord, and the illuminator of all luminaries,

          Who is always awake, ever vigilant, the One without

          A second, and who has no beginning nor an ending!

          ~*~

          Salutations, Salutations to the mighty Lord of Universe

          Who should be known through meditation or by penance

          Salutations, Salutations to Him whose form is Great bliss

          And who is known through the knowledge of Vedas!

          ~*~

          O Shiva, Thou destroyer of all bondage of the Jivas

          The world is born of Thee; it always exists in Thee

          O Lord, in Thee, who is symbolised as ShivaLingam,

          It again is absorbed and the World is but Thyself!

          

          ~*~
