About this stotra
SrI Srisaila Mallikarjuna Suprabhatam means: Morning hymn to awaken Lord Mallikarjuna of Srisailam. Lord Shiva, also known as Mahadeva or Shambho, is one of the principal deities of Hinduism, revered as the destroyer and transformer within the Trimurti, the Hindu trinity that includes Lord Brahma and Lord Vishnu. He is often depicted with a third eye, a crescent moon on his head, and the river Ganga flowing from his matted hair.
This hymn is a morning invocation to Lord Mallikarjuna, a form of Lord Shiva worshipped at the Srisailam temple. The first verse begins by remembering Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles, whose face is adorned with sindoor. It highlights his role as a protector and friend to the helpless, and his power to destroy obstacles. The second verse praises Lord Shiva, adorned with the crescent moon, and his consort, Goddess Parvati, emphasizing their benevolence and the bliss they bestow upon devotees. The third verse is a series of salutations to Lord Shiva, acknowledging his greatness, compassion, and his role as a refuge for those who surrender to him. The fourth verse describes the sacred location of Srisailam, where the river Lord Krishna flows, and the devotees who ascend the steps to worship Lord Mallikarjuna. The final verse promises that those who recite this hymn at dawn will experience all forms of happiness and ultimately attain the supreme abode of Lord Shiva, filled with joy.
