Chants Of Shiva

[Maral Mende]

Awonderful collection of traditional chants that have been passed down in the Yogic tradition for millennia, these ethereal sounds evoke a sense of devotion and stir something profound in a spiritual seeker.

Lord Shiva or Mahadev is one of the most popular and worshiped gods of the Hindu religion and is one of the three gods of the Trimurti, alongside Brahma and Vishnu. He is considered a complex character, who represents protection, benevolence, and goodness. Shiv is considered to be the most magnanimous and altruistic god of the Hindu religion, and also called Bholenath, who has a heart of gold and gives away blessings with the smallest of devotion and love. He is also associated with time and is the creator and destroyer.

According to Hinduism, it is believed that the universe works in a cycle, and regenerates every 2,16,00,00,000 years. Lord Shiva is the one to destroy the universe every cycle and creates a new one with a fresh beginning. Lord Shiva is an abstainer and does not indulge in any kind of pleasures of the world, and only meditates to find complete happiness. Along with being the most important and powerful god of all, lord shiva is also the leader of darker elements of the universe, such as evil spirits, ghosts, ghouls, and thieves and robbers.

There are many names that the Shaivites like to use while worshiping and praising lord shivas, such as Shambhu( Benign), Shankara ( beneficent), Mahesha ( great lord), and Mahadeva(Great God). There are various forms in which lord shiva is represented, in a pacific mood, with happiness apparent on his face, along with his consort Parvati and children Ganesha and Kartikeya, in the cosmic dancer Nataraj form, as a beggar or Yogi, as an untouchable, accompanied by the dog Bhairava, as an ascetic meditator, and in many occasions in the half male half female form, representing him and his other half (Ardhanarishvara). He is both the abstainer and the symbol of fertility, and the master of both the poison and the medicine, considering his ambivalent power over snakes. There are many more forms and powers that lord shiva has, and each one is just as sacred as the rest.

Lord Shiva is the god of destruction and creation at the same time and is a symbol of mercy and grace. There are many ways in which lord shiva is worshiped to appease him, and it is very easy to please lord shiva and get his blessings. Some rituals and pujas are held, dedicated to him, which include recitation of different mantras, through which the devotees get successful in life.

With the regular chanting of shiv mantras, one becomes extremely strong from within, and their spirit becomes like an iron fist, which cannot be broken by any mishap. Those who chant shiv mantras with a pure soul can fight any battle in life, and come out of it being a better and stronger person. These mantras also help to cleanse the body and soul of any negative energy that could be inside the person or around them and fills their life with positive energy.

Meaning - Om, We Worship the Three-Eyed One, Who is Fragrant, Increasing the Nourishment. From these many Bondages similar to Cucumbers (tied to their Creepers), May I be Liberated from Death (Attachment to Perishable Things) So that I am not separated from the perception of Immortality (Immortal Essence pervading everywhere).

Shiva is depicted by everyone in paintings and sculptures as white, because of bhasma (ashes from incineration) covering his body, blue throat, because of the poison he drank to save everyone, dreads in hair, with a top knot adorned by the moon and the holy river Ganga, as it fell from heaven, and a skull adorning his neck. The skull is one of the five heads of Lord Brahma, which Lord Shiva cut off. The head stuck to him until he reached Varanasi, where it fell off. From then on, Kapala- Mochana was established there, where the head fell off, where all forms of sins can be washed off. Lord Shiva also has a snake, known as Naag Raj around his neck, because of a blessing that he gave to the king of snakes.

Ancient chants uplift the consciousness because your consciousness knows this at a deeper level. Somewhere in our depth, we understand these chants, and in some unknown manner, it energizes, uplifts and soothes the spirit!
