Shiva Sahasranama Stotram Lyrics with Meaning & Audio

About this stotra

The Shiva Sahasranama Stotram is a revered hymn dedicated to Lord Shiva, often recited as an act of devotion and meditation. The term "Sahasranama" means "a thousand names," and in this stotram, each name encapsulates an aspect of Shiva’s divinity. These names are not merely descriptive; they are considered to have profound spiritual significance, capable of invoking Shiva's blessings and grace.
This hymn describes Shiva's role as the supreme reality, the destroyer of ignorance, the lord of cosmic cycles, and the compassionate protector of the universe. It portrays Shiva as the embodiment of paradoxes—both transcendent and immanent, terrifying and benevolent, ascetic and householder. His attributes span creation, sustenance, and destruction, making him the ultimate source of all existence.
This stotram is often chanted during significant occasions like Shivaratri or as part of daily worship. It serves as a means for devotees to align themselves with the cosmic rhythm and experience the vastness of Shiva's energy and love.

Dhyāna (Meditation Verse): I bow to Pārvatīśa — the Lord of Pārvatī — who sits serenely upon the lotus throne, bearing the crescent moon as his crown, with five radiant faces and three eyes on each. In his right hands he holds the trident, the thunderbolt, the sword and the battleaxe, and bestows the gesture of fearlessness; in his left hands he carries the serpent, the noose, the bell, the fire of dissolution and the goad. Adorned with countless ornaments, his form shines like a flawless crystal gem.
