Shiva Bhajans

[fem_phoenix1109]

Namaste,

I would like to share a few songs that really help me to connect with Lord Shiva, and hope others will do the same!

Here is my current favorite. I think it is the most beautiful song I have ever heard. It is called 'Hara Hara Hara Hara MahaDeva' by Third Man.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P58RF4ZVoSA

Here is another one that I really like. I don't know who does it. I watch this video every morning (and the other one) before getting ready for work. There are some beautiful images.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w46gmDfUaQ0

And here is a song that I fell in love with even before I knew Mahadev. I never knew who he was talking about, I just like the way the song made me feel. The first time I saw a picture of Shiva it had a caption that said simply 'Hara Hara Mahadeva' and I understood. It's called 'My Baba' by Trevor Hall.

I look forward to hearing what some other member's favorites are.

Hara Hara Mahadev!!

[Necromancer]

Namaste.

Those are some really beautiful Bhajans! <3

My favourites (my current favourite) is:

Rudra Rudra Maha Rudra:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtwDqMl273U

I'm always singing "Namo Namah Shiva Shankar' instead of chanting Aum Namah Shivaya quite often now.

I also like Yam Yam Yam Yaksha Rupam:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pzszqs6gz3o

All of the Bija Mantras in that make it very powerful!

I also listen to all of the 'Ashtakams' by S.P. Balasubramanium and this one:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASa08VbK5V4

...and this one:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8r9Y1hzMFs

I like Purushotam Das Jalota, Anup Jalota, Udit Narayan, S.P. Balasubramanium and all that 'ancient' stuff. lol

Apart from those, I listen to a lot of kirtans and just mantra chanting.

The best Shiva Kirtan/Bhajan/Puja ever is this one:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcEqAnOxNT0

Oh dear Shiva, I wish I were there right now...

Aum Namah Shivaya

[Necromancer]

Namaste.

Awwww.....this thread isn't going anywhere. :(

Why does it seem like I am the only Shiva Bhakt who posts in this forum?

Anyway, here is a very beautiful 'feel good' Shiva Bhajan that always has me totally entranced about half way through it.

Enjoy!

Aum Namah Shivaya

[fem_phoenix1109]

Thank you so much for your contributions Necromancer!

I have listened to and enjoyed all of the videos you have posted. I like how happy everyone is in that last video. Just that in itself is enough to make me smile! :D

In another thread I posted about the 'coincidence' of hearing 'om namah shivaya' playing over the speakers at Barnes & Noble when I was there looking for a book about Shiva. I asked the guy working in the Music department what was playing and it was this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzmTDe5IQ44

[karthik]

Here's one of my fav...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTYmGkbB3Ww

[fem_phoenix1109]

Thank you for that Karthik.

I just wanted to share a song I have been enjoying very much lately. It's not very traditional, and focuses more on Shakti than Shiva, but hey, they're a team right?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DohE3G1nkgM

And here are the lyrics:

OM SHAKTI OM My Mama rides a lion
My Dad wears ashes and snakes
My Mama is a warrior
She kills demons in Her play
My Daddy has the power
And He likes Her this way
I call them day and night
I never leave their sight
Singing Om Shakti Om Shakti Om


My Mama lets Her hair hang loose
My Dad likes to sit still
Watching Mama scream and dance gives Him such a thrill
My Mama drinks from a skull cup
You got any demons
She’ll sip them up
They live up on the mountain
They’re the Eternal Fountain
Om Shakti Om Shakti Om
Singin Om Shakti Om Shakti Om

[fem_phoenix1109]

Namaste,

I've come across a few more songs that have touched me deeply, which I want to share with all of you.

Pt Jasraj - Hara Hara Bole Namah Sivaya
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmGDFVgE0WE

Trevor Hall - Oh, Shankara
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZuV5c34qKc

Those are 3 that have really made an impact on me lately. I hope someone else can get as much enjoyment out of them as I have.

Aum Namah Shivaya!

Vannakkam: Here's a bunch. http://www.himalayanacademy.com/site/search/media_type/song/deity/Siva some old favorites, and some new stuff, some in Tamil.

Aum Namasivaya

Namaste EM

These are really nice!

i tend to like Tamil as well as Carnatic, but also many others, with that "raw" (?) sound, it can become "electric" almost. Some of these you shared are very "connecting" and very nice!

[SeekingPeaceOfMind]

I have been listening to a Bhajan for months now and I'm still not sure what it means in full, yet I enjoy it very much. If someone would be so kind as to translate this for me then I would be incredibly grateful.



"Om Namah Shivaya Namah Shivaya Hara Hara Bole Namah Shivaya

Ganga Dhara Shiva Ganga Dhara Hara Hara Bole Namah Shivaya

Vishweshvara Shiva Vishweshvara Hara Hara Bole Namah Shivaya

Rameshwara Shiva Rameshwara Hara Hara Bole Namah Shivaya

Jatadhara Shiva Jatadhara Hara Hara Bole Namah Shivaya

Someshwar Shiva Someshwar Hara Hara Bole Namah Shivaya

Koteshwara Shiva Koteshwara Hara Hara Bole Namah Shivaya"



These are the lyrics according to a youtube user who posted them.

Namaste.

Om Namah Shivaya!

[fem_phoenix1109]

Namaste Seeking,

I do not know the translation of that song, but I love that one as well, very much. I have actually heard several different versions, so it must be a popular one. Will you share the link to the one you are referring to? Here is one of my favorites:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pl8Sbi5-6Zk.

Pranam.

[Ram11]

Hi friend,

There are certain bhajans called as Dhun.This is a very beautiful one.I'll try to translate it.


"Om Namah Shivaya Namah Shivaya Hara Hara Bole Namah Shivaya

Ganga Dhara Shiva Ganga Dhara Hara Hara Bole Namah Shivaya

Vishweshvara Shiva Vishweshvara Hara Hara Bole Namah Shivaya

Rameshwara Shiva Rameshwara Hara Hara Bole Namah Shivaya

Jatadhara Shiva Jatadhara Hara Hara Bole Namah Shivaya

Someshwar Shiva Someshwar Hara Hara Bole Namah Shivaya

Koteshwara Shiva Koteshwara Hara Hara Bole Namah Shivaya"


Om,Salutations to Lord Shiva,who is also called Hara.Salutations to Lord Hara,the destroyer.Let us repeatedly chant his name.

(Let us attain happiness by repeating his name.)
(Hara, means one who destroys.He eliminates the of miseries of the world and the ignorance,fear and doubts present in the mind.By destroying these external and internal negativeness,he establishes confidence and blesses with happiness.There fore he is the known as the ever auspicious Lord Shiva.)

Salutations to Ganga dhara,the one who bears Sri Ganga Devi on his forehead.
(Pls refer to the story of the tapas of Bhagiratha and the descent of Ganges river.Here Lord Shiva saves the world from the might of Ganges by capturing her on his head.)

Salutations to Vishveshwara,the one who is the Lord of the whole cosmos.Salutations to Him, who has manifested as a Jyotirlinga in the holy city of Kashi.

Salutations to Rameshwara,the Lord worshiped by Sri Ram to attain victory over evil.Salutations to Him, who has manifested as a Jyotirlinga in the holy city of Rameshwara.

Salutations to Jatadhara,the Lord having matted hair.This is an attribute of great Yogis or Sages engaged in meditation and imparting true knowledge.Salutations to the Greatest Sage of all time,the one with matted locks.

Saluations to Someshwara,the Lord who bears Soma-the Moon on himself.He saved the Moon god-Sri Chandra from the curse of his father-in-law Daksha and wore him on his head to protect him from destruction.Salutations to him who is concerned about his devotees and saved his devotee by putting on His head.Salutations to Him, who has manifested as a Jyotirlinga in the holy city of Somnath.

Salutations to Koteshwara.

I'm not sure about this but I assume it means Kotilingeshwara,the lord who has taken the form of crores(infinite number) of lingas at different places.The Lord Shiva,who is present everywhere for the sake of His devotees,to whom he is the father,mother and everything.
Let us repeatedly chant his name.Let us attain happiness by repeating his name.

If there are any mistakes forgive me.:)

Edit:I appreciate Sri Aanandinii (http://www.hindudharmaforums.com/member.php?u=6199)'s detailed presentation below.I think the place where Ravana was forced to leave the Atmalinga of Lord Shiva is Gokarna.However, many places maybe associated with same incident.:)

Namaste Fem_pheonix, this is the rendition I listen to:

Om Namah Shivaya!

[Aanandinii]

Namaskar SeekingPeaceOfMind ji,

I am only just learning Sanskrit and am a fairly new Saivite, but may be able to help some. Perhaps someone with more knowledge can come and give correction where I get things wrong. :)
edit to add: I see Ram ji answered while I was typing. In many ways his is better and far more concise - and thanks so much, confirmed a few things I wonder about below. I'll still leave this too though.
First the song. The words are missing a line:


Rameshwara Shiva Rameshwara Hara Hara Bole Namah Shivaya
Gangadhara Shiva Gangadhara Hara Hara Bole Namah Shivaya
Jatadhara Shiva Jatadhara Hara Hara Bole Namah Shivaya
Someshwara Shiva Someshwara Hara Hara Bole Namah Shivaya
Vishweshvara Shiva Vishweshvara Hara Hara Bole Namah Shivaya
Koteshwara Shiva Koteshwara Hara Hara Bole Namah Shivaya
Mahakaleshvara Hara Hara Bole Namah ShivayaThis is a very popular Bhajan, one of the first I learned. These are some of Lord Shiva's 1008 names, and most of the ones chanted here are famous Temples to that specific aspect of the Lord - The Temple is named after the aspect the Lord took at that location. Some are Jyotirlinga Temples. The Jyotorlinga are places where Lord Shiva manifested in person form and stayed in the form of the Lingam to benefit Humanity, usually as a boon asked for from a Bhakti or group of worshipers. I have been told,, (so don't know for certain if it's true), that once there were 64 of them, to be found all around the world, but most were lost and the only ones still known for certain are the 12 in India. They are all great pilgrimage sites.

The quick answer is this Bhajan calls out to Lord Shiva in Praise, then lists one of His many Names/Aspects and calls praise to that, then praises Him again.

Long answer:
"Namah Shivaya" is really a mantra and has deep meanings. But here it's probably meant more as "Adoration to" or "Obeisance to" Lord Shiva

"Hara" is a name for Lord Shiva. Again, I am just starting to learn Sanskrit so I may be off a bit here, but I believe this is Nomitive form and is used as a way to call out to Lord Shiva while using his name; such as, "Hara Hara!" Which can then also be followed by another name of His. Lord Vishnu also has a name like this, "Hari".

"Bhole", as I understand it, means "Innocent", and Lord Shiva is often called the "Innocent Lord", or "Bholenath" - another of his names.

"-esvara" is a Sanskrit suffix derived from "Iishwarah" = "God". As a suffix added to a word or name, it indicates dominion over, so "Lord of".

So you have:
Rameshwara = Rameshwar is one of the most famous Jyotorlinga and is in Rameshwaram, Tamil Nadu. This is where Lord Ram stopped to pray to Lord Shiva before pressing his attack on the Demon Ravana, and where He gave thanks for victory after. Lord of both the City and the Temple.

Gangadhara = Lord of Ganga. Not a Jyortorlinga, but She flows from his locks.

Jatadhara = ?? I am not clear on this one. I think 'Jata' is what we call dreadlocks, and Lord Shiva is the Lord with the flowing locks, so I have always interpreted this to mean exactly that, "Lord of Jata" or "Crowned with Jata", which would be a similar concept to "Supreme Yogin" as the Locks are a sign of Yogis and Sadhus.

Someshwara = Soma is a name for the Moon, and also is a cooling drink and/or energy vibration used in ritual and meditation. Lord Shiva is the Lord of the Moon and of the cooling power of Soma on the kundalini and mind. I have an imperfect understanding of this, so may be missing something. What drink Soma actually is has been lost to history, though the power of Soma is still called from Lord Shiva and Chandra to help control in Meditation. It is said Lord Shiva's left eye is the Moon, and of course he is crowned by Chandra in his waning aspect to protect Chandra from death. So here he is the Lord of the Moon and Cooling, Controlling Will. Also, Somnath Temple in Gujarat, a Jyotorlinga dedicated to Someshwara.

Vishwesvara = Vishwanath is the Jyotorlinga and famous Shiva temple in Kashi, aka Varnasi. The Temple is again named after the Lord, in this aspect Vishwanath, which as I understand it means "Lord of the Universe" or "Creation", but I would love some clarification on the Sanskrit here. I feel like a better translation would be "Lord Whose Form Is The Universe"? Either way, this name means something like Lord (of) Vishwanath, and could also mean Lord of All Form.

Koteshwara = Koteshwar is a very famous Temple in Gujarat, and is tied to Ravana. There are various stories behind how the Lingam arrived there. The one I know goes: Ravana wished for a great Lingam for his people in his city so to win the boon from Lord Shiva he performed an immense tapasya but wasn't answered, so he performed a great feat - he attempted to pick up Mount Kailash from it's roots. He disturbed the Lord enough that he won the boon and also the strength to bear the Lingam temporarily. But he was warned that he wouldn't be able to bear the Lingam after he had set it down, so he must carry it until he reached the place he wished it to stay and it would take root wherever he set it down. He was tricked into setting it down, some say by Nandi and some say by the Gods, who didn't want him to have the Lingam, and there the Great Lingam took root. Some say Ravana dropped it from great height on his way home, some again say due to interference by the Gods or a trick, and that it shattered into a thousand small Lingams when it struck Earth in the spot of this Temple. Ravana couldn't tell which was the one containing the main part of the power in the original, so grabbed one and continued home.

Mahakaleshwara = Mahakaleshwar is a famous Jyotorlinga in Ujain. The name means "Great Lord of Time", and the Jyotorlingam here is singular in that it's Peetham Spout faces east and the Diety faces south - this is significant to Tantric practice, and apparently one of the meanings of this is that it doesn't need to be charged by mantras, blessings and worship to maintain its strong power, but draws it's own power from within itself - it is Swayambhu. This is also supposed to be the only Jyotorlinga with a Sri Yantra in the Garba Griha roof above it.

So, that's my attempt at translating the Bhajan, for better or for worse. Am happy to learn better if it's 'for worse' though - please correct and teach. :)

Namaskar ji,

Thanks so much to everyone for their posts, many of these have become favorites now. My apologies for the double post but I have been meaning for some time to add some songs, and in light of posting some modern electric music elsewhere I thought I might add some balance with more melodic offerings, and possibly a couple slightly more traditional ones, (I think), as well.

I quite love Uma Mohan's music. Spoiler, it's pretty Produced:
Shiva Panchakshara Stotram Shiva Shadakshara Stotram (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPw46RQqZ9A)
Nirvana Shatakam (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74aArKQqon0) - Adi Shankara
Rudrashtakam (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kurUn-pNu90)

Mast Malang (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3XxbwrEKik) - I'm not sure about if the video is meant to be a bit camp and humorous or if that's my cultural misunderstanding, but I love the energy and joy in this song, it's fun.

Thiruvasagam (Potrith thiruvahaval (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96plROgQo10)) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96plROgQo10) Sung by Karumari Karuna

Shivji Satya Hai (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-8InRyV2HM) by Sonu Niigaam (Nigam) and Sukhwinder Sin

Om Jai Shiv Omkara- - Lord Shiva Aarti (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0_tFX-pG-A)

I found the last in a movie and love it. Speaking of modern media, I adore these songs from Devon ke dev Mahadev:

I have nothing to share. But you people help me lot to listen shiv bhajans.

[SeekingPeaceOfMind]

Namaste,

Thank you Ram and Aanandinii for taking the time to translate the Bhajan. I was aware that some of the words were names/epithets of Lord Shiva but could only take a guess at what was meant as a whole. You have been very helpful, thank you once again.

Om Namah Shivaya!

[Aanandinii]

Namaskar Ram ji,



Edit:I appreciate Sri Aanandinii (http://www.hindudharmaforums.com/member.php?u=6199)'s detailed presentation below.
Thank you for the kind words, but please don't use a title like that for me, I haven't earned such an honorific title and don't deserve it. http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-ashamed001.gif (http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys.php)
I am sometimes just a bit enthusiastic when I'm happy.


! think the place where Ravana was forced to leave the Atmalinga of Lord Shiva is Gokarna.However, many places maybe associated with same incident.:)Thank you so much for this informatiom, I had no idea there were more than one Temple associated to the same story. Unexpected and cool. Thank you again for teaching me more. :)

~Pranams

edit to add: I don't know where my brain was at at 2 AM on a Friday morning, but LOL, the two Temples we were talking about aren't even in the same State, (couldn't find a way to cross out my earlier statement, so just deleted it). Go figure, there seem to be 2 Koteshwar Temples? It seems one is in a Villiage of the same name in Karnataka, though it's a ruin.

[fem_phoenix1109]

Namaste,

Thank you everyone for your input! I love that song and appreciate it even more now that I understand it a bit better.

Can we do another one? There is a song called Om Namah Shivaya by Krishna Das. I found a translation on his website, but I am having a hard time putting it together, as the song is only a few words really and the translation seems to say a lot more than that.

Here is the song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lQ1oWIQoAo

And here is the lyrics & translation:

Om Namah Shivaaya
Shivaaya namaha,
Shivaaya namah om
Shivaaya namaha, namaha Shivaaya
Shambhu Shankara namah Shivaaya,
Girijaa Shankara namah Shivaaya
Arunaachala Shiva namah Shivaaya

I bow to the Soul of all. I bow to my Self. I don't know who I am, so I bow to you, Shiva, my own true Self. I bow to my teachers who loved me with Love. Who took care of me when I couldn't take care of myself. I owe everything to them. How can I repay them? They have everything in the world. Only my love is mine to give, but in giving I find that it is their love flowing through me back to the world...I have nothing. I have everything. I want nothing. Only let it flow to you, my love... sing!

Pranams

[Aanandinii]

Namaskar Fem Phoenix ji,

I want to thank you for posting that, I know the song but had never seen the video before.
It's stunning how deeply layered and dense in meaning Sanskrit is, in so few words. I would love to see what someone who really knows the language will say about this, too.

I suspect also, part of the seeming line count difference may be the number of repetitions of each single phrase, if each phrase repetition here might be used to impart the varying meaning thus the seeming many lines in the translation, particularly the lines about honoring teachers and repayment.

As a complete tangent, I find myself wondering, because English carries roots from Latin, Celtic and ancient Germanic languages, we get a lot of roots from sister-languages to Sanskrit thus the sometimes familiar words, and "Namah" is very similar to "Name". I wonder if there's a common root here? In ancient, pre-Christian belief systems and mysticism it is said that names have power and to name something is to call on it and get its attention, especially when dealing with immortals. It was a way of "calling to" the Gods and Spirits, to call them for worship and/or ask favors. There is a part of my mind that hears Namah Sivaya that way too.

~Pranams

Namaste,

I just wanted to share with all of you a song that I have been listening to a lot lately. I will play it in my car to and from work, and after listening to it and singing it for 20 or 30 minutes, I feel amazing. I feel the same as if I would have spent that time meditating.

I believe the words are as follows. Can anyone interpret?:

Jaya jaya Shiva Shambho (x4)
Mahadeva Shambho (x4)
Shiva Shiva Shiva Shambho (x4)
Mahadeva Shambho (x4)

Here is the video, I hope you enjoy!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGBh3sjnP9E

Thank you for letting me share. Pranam.

[Ram11]

Namaste,

Thanks for sharing this beautiful bhajan.
I'll try to translate it.

Jaya jaya Shiva Shambho (x4)
Mahadeva Shambho (x4)
Shiva Shiva Shiva Shambho (x4)
Mahadeva Shambho (x4)

Jaya! (Let us chant)
Victory to Lord Shiva,the ever auspicious one.
Victory to Lord Shambu,the one who grants wishes and provides happiness to his devotees.
Jaya! Victory to Lord Tripurantakeshwara,the slayer of the Tripura demons.

O Lord Mahadeva,you are greatest among all the Devas,
O Lord Shambu,O bountiful one.My salutations to you.
Shiva,Shiva,Shiva,Let I attain joy by repeating your name,
Let your name pervade everything,
Let everything I do be filled with you,Shiva,Shiva,Shiva.
Let I attain joy by repeating your name.
Jaya! (Let us chant)
Victory to Lord Shiva,the ever auspicious one.

Forgive me if there are any mistakes._/\_

Namaste Ram, and thank you for taking the time to translate that for me. I feel I get so much more from listening to and singing the songs when I know the meaning behind the word. I am always amazed that in the translations so few words are translated into so many.

Ram, what is the story behind that breathtaking picture?

Pranam.

[Ram11]

Namaste,

The image is of Tripurasura Samhara.Kindly read this article.

Just wanted to share another favorite: Jai Uttal & Ben Leinbach - Mahadeva
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEW1vA4rfIk

I am ecstatic over the abudance of beautiful music I have been finding. I've always loved music but had such a hard time finding songs that I enjoy. Now I know where they all are.

Aum Namah Shivaya!

[fem_phoenix1109]

Namaste,

Here's another one I really like, it's called Hara Shiva Shankara, by Jai Uttal. It starts off very slow, then about two minutes in picks up a really jazzy beat, it's different but I really like it!

Namaskar,

So many wonderful posts, thanks so much everyone! Such lovely music! And special thanks for the words and translations.
Ram, such lovely art you've been posting lately, and this one of Pasupati against the Tripurasura is stunning.

I have some music I want to post but I need to check it against what has already been posted. While I do this, here is one for Sri Ganapati which hasn't been posted. Warning in advance it's modern and from the 2012 remake of Agneepath.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pc0IHjupsAA

I have a very soft spot in my heart for this song. We were in a Sari shop in old Lucknow as a Ganaesha Chaturthi Immersion parade assembled outside the front door, we were completely unawares until the pink powder, glitter and rose petals started flying from a canon and the drums started up. They had a big truck a few feet away at the front of the line with more speakers than I've seen in nightclubs piled on the back, and they were blaring this song, live drummers playing along. It's one of my favorite memories in this life.

I have it on video, but every time I try and upload it to you tube it gets blocked because the song is too clear. In fact, that's how we figured out what the song was to get a copy. :)

This is the aarti bhajan they play at the end within the song:

I understand this offering may be a bit of a reach for some. I offer it anyway in the spirit with which it was created.

Here is another I have been enjoying very much lately! Bhagavan Das - Shiva Shambho: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cuy-lHwUZ70.

[fem_phoenix1109]

Namaste,

Here is something very beautiful, the Shiva Sahasranama:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7iRdzHQqrC4

I can't put into words how enchanting this one is! Does anyone know where I might find the words to this so that I may follow along? I found a few versions of Shiva Sahasranama online, but they don't seem to match this one, and I know there are different versions.

Pranam.

[Amrut]

Namaste,

Here is something very beautiful, the Shiva Sahasranama (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7iRdzHQqrC4): (Youtube link)


I can't put into words how enchanting this one is! Does anyone know where I might find the words to this so that I may follow along? I found a few versions of Shiva Sahasranama online, but they don't seem to match this one, and I know there are different versions.

Pranam.

There are 8 different versions of Shiva Sahasranama Stotram.

As the author (youtube uploader) says that this one is taken from Rudra Yamala Tantra, this version is different from the Mahabharata Version which is the most popular.

Shiva Sahasranama Direct link (http://www.astrojyoti.com/pdfs/Shiva1000RudrayamalaTantra.pdf) (pdf)from astrojyoti


Dhyanam is on page 6 and Sahasranama stotra starts from page 7.

Source: http://www.astrojyoti.com/shivasahasranamastotramp3.htm

There are two ways to chant:

I is to chant each name as mantra e.g.

* 1 * Om Sthirayai Nama - Salutations to Him who is perennial
* 2 * Om Sthanave nama - Who is the axis of the world
* 3 * Om Prabhave nama - Who is the lord of all the world
* 4 * Om Bheemayai nama - Who is the source of fear

Shiva Sahasranama 1008 names (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOW_uWdYmUc) (Youtube Link)

Another version is to chant it as a verse

e.g.

Sarvaatmaa sarvavikhyaatah sarvah sarvakaro bhavah
Jatii charmii shikhandii cha sarvaangah sarvabhaavanah 2

Harishcha harinaakshashcha sarvabhuutaharah prabhuh
Pravrittishcha nivrittishcha niyatah shaashvato dhruvah 3

(Mahabharat version)

OM Namah Shivay

[Aanandinii]

Namaste ji,

I recently started clicking through You Tube in search of more bjajans. I've run across several lists that I would like to share. I figure the lists are better than presenting over a dozen separate links. I've ended up getting copies of many of these songs.

I know some of them apparently are from movie soundtracks. I haven't seen the movies and don't really care. I like the music and if they are in praise of Bhagavan as well all the better. :D But if it's not really your thing then be warned. :)

Oh yes, some of these have some of the same songs too.
