Lingam Astakan (Brahmamurari)

[Adhvagat]

I ran into a random Hindu website the other day that featured a MP3 of a very nice song playing on the background.

It was this:


Brahmamurari

Brahmamurari suraarchita Lingam
nirmaLa bhaasita sobhita Lingam
janmaja dukha vinaasaka Lingam
tatpranamaami sadaasiva Lingam

deva muni pravaraarchita Lingam
kaama dahana karunaakara Lingam
Raavana darpa vinaasaka Lingam
tatpranamaami sadaasiva Lingam

sarva sugandha suLepita Lingam
buddhi vivardana kaarana Lingam
sidha suraasura vandita Lingam
tatpranamaami sadaasiva Lingam

kanaka mahamani bhushita Lingam
phanipativeshtita sobhita Lingam
dakshasu yagna vinaasana Lingam
tatpranamaami sadaasiva Lingam

kumkuma chandana Lepita Lingam
pankajadhaara susobhita Lingam
sanchita paapa vinaasana Lingam
tatpranamaami sadaasiva Lingam

deva ganaarchita sevita Lingam
bhaavairbhaktibhi revacha Lingam
dinakara koti prabhaakara Lingam
tatpranamaami sadaasiva Lingam

ashta daLopariveshtita Lingam
sarwa samudbhava kaarana Lingam
ashta daridra vinaasana Lingam
tatpranamaami sadaasiva Lingam

sura guru sura vara pujita Lingam

paramapadam paramaatmaka Lingam
tatpranamaami sadaasiva Lingam

Lingaastakamidam punyam yah pathet siva sannidhou
sivaLoka mavaapnoti sivena sahamodate

I found it one of the most pleasing mantras to listen, I really like its long form and short stotras with a certain repetitive metric to it, like Hanuman Chaleesa.

What can you tell me of this song? I couldn't find much info.

The day I discovered this song I let it playing while I went to sleep. Is it advisable? I ask because while I slept with a good feeling, I wasn't entirely rested (it may have something to do with its rythm and melody).

Here's the link for the MP3: http://unidadezero.com/pub/audio/vedas/LINGAM%20ASTAKAN.mp3

Does anyone know the artist?

Om Tat Sat

Namasté,

Thanks for providing the mp3!

According to the information that pops up on Windows Media Player, it's N.S. Prakash Rao and B. Ramana; I believe this is a picture of the CD here (http://www.amazon.de/Linga-Astakam/dp/images/B0047WDVC6).

Oṁ Indrāya Namaḥ.
Oṁ Namaḥ Śivāya.

How un-tech savvy of me! Thanks...

It's a lovely song, my parents often play it on cassette here. Thanks for the lyrics and MP3! :)

Vannakkam: At the Murugan temple in Baltimore, we were given copies of this song. Just before final aarti, the priests and all devotees present sang it. Kind of nice. Its also sung fairly commonly here at our local temple.

Aum Namasivaya

[Uthaya]

It is Lingashtakam by Sri Adi Sankaracharya
