Salutations to Lord Shiva (Shivaya Namaha)
As your matted locks untie and flow,
As the descending river Ganga rushes forth,
While the serpent resting around your neck
Wakes up and looks around,
Holding the damru (drum) in your left hand,
As this cosmic dance unfolds,
With heaven and earth bearing witness,
Struck by your opening third eye on the forehead,
As the demons burn to ashes,
In the sparks of that bursting fire,
As all the darkness comes to an end,
As the blazing fire gently cools down,
Adorned with the young crescent moon,
Declaring that whatever is born must die,
As your fierce anger proclaims this truth,
While Goddess Uma (Parvati), with her deep love,
Calms your mighty rage,
As enlightened sages, rising from deep penance,
Sing your praises and worship you,
Upon the snow-covered mountain peak,
As you sit in peace with your anger cooled,
To protect and guide us in this world,
Whom else could we ever turn to?
The sacred name 'Namashivaya',
Whenever we chant it,
Pure joy surges within us,
Across the vast field of our minds!
We sang songs in praise of your glory,
As your cosmic dance drew to an end,
Like the earth after a storm has passed,
As the morning light dawns in the sky,
The serpent Vasuki around your neck
Reminds us to break our pride,
The animal skin draped on your body
Takes away all our fears,
The trident held firmly in your hand
Rules over all the three worlds,
To receive your generous blessings,
As we pray and perform deep penance,
The crescent moon resting on your head
Shines like a light within our hearts,
Your dark, flowing matted locks
Spread wide across this entire universe,
While the gods of the heavens above
Seek shelter at your two feet,
Whenever we bow down before you,
Our hearts leap and dance in joy!
Om Namashiva Om
Shiva Shiva Ommm
Shiva Shiva Shivaya Nama Ommm
Nama Shiva Omm
Shiva Shiva Ommm
The forehead eye of the three-eyed Lord,
When it opens in fiery wrath,
To destroy the desire that corrupts the mind,
Burns Kamadeva (the god of desire) to ash,
On the bosom of the mountain daughter (Parvati),
O beloved creator of divine wonder,
In this fleeting, temporary life,
O Lord who alone is eternal!
Shivam Shivam Shivam Shivam
Shiva is the destroyer,
Shivam Shivam Shivam Shivam
Shiva is the destroyer,
Shivam Shivam Shivam Shivam
Shiva is everywhere,
Shivam Shivam Shivam Shivam
Shiva is within our hearts,
Om Nama Shivaya... (6)
.......................
You are the endless blue of the sky,
You are the source of all living life,
You are the protective trident that dispels fate,
You are timeless eternity conquering the world!
Filled with supreme bliss,
At the magnificent sight of your dance,
We stand still and gaze in wonder
At the majesty of your reign!
You severed all hatred,
You cast away all desires,
As the sacred flames burn,
You showed that fame is just a speck of dust,
You wore the serpent around your neck,
You swallowed and held the deadly poison,
You gave half your body to Uma,
You are the only thought in our minds!
O Master who rules the cosmos,
O enlightened sage who knows everything,
O eternal Lord who sustains each day,
O noble One who corrects and guides us,
O caring provider who nourishes all,
The painful arrogance inside us,
You are the only One who can end it!
When you raise your damru drum,
All sufferings tremble in fear,
Before your penetrating gaze,
Even the heavens bow in surrender!
By the divine vision of your three eyes,
All eight directions turn into radiant light,
With the three stripes of sacred ash on your forehead,
All three bounds of time fade away!
Shivam Shivam Shivam Shivam
Shiva is the beginning,
Shivam Shivam Shivam Shivam
Shiva is the ending,
Shivam Shivam Shivam Shivam
Shiva is the destruction,
Shivam Shivam Shivam Shivam
Shiva is the destruction,
Shivam Shivam Shivam Shivam
Shiva fills the skies,
Shivam Shivam Shivam Shivam
Shiva fills the earth,
Shivam Shivam Shivam Shivam
Shiva is everywhere,
Shivam Shivam Shivam Shivam
Shiva is within our hearts!
