Shiva prayer for Shivaratri
Mar 6th, 2008 | By admin | Category: spiritualShiva: A name of God meaning “One Who is all Bliss and the giver of happiness to all.” Although classically applied to the Absolute Brahman, Shiva can also refer to God (Ishwara) in His aspect of Dissolver and Liberator (often mistakenly thought of as “destroyer”).
During Shivaratri, we do japa in the name of Lord Shiva. Click here for an article on how to do Japam during this auspicious night. In essence, chant “Om Namah Shivaya” for 108 times with devotion and focus on Lord Shiva.
Here is a prayer for Shivaratri…
Sharanye Trayambake Gauri Narayaani Namostu Te
ओम सर्व मंगल मंग्लाये शिवाय सर्वार्थ सधिके
शरंये त्रयाम्बके गौरी नारायानी नामोस्तु ते
Meaning:
O! the divine couple Shiva Parvati! Thee, the protectors of this universe along with Lords Brahma and Vishnu. We pray to you for our well-being, prosperity and the enlightenment of our souls.
