Shiva Puja - Shiva Slokas

Shiva Slokas

The below are two of the most popular Shiva Slokas

The Mahamrityunjaya Mantra reads (IAST transliteration):

tryambakaṃ yajāmahe sugandhiṃ puṣṭi-vardhanam urvāruk miva bandhanān mṛtyor mukṣīya māmṛtāt

In the translation of Arthur Berriedale Keith, 1914):

"OM. We worship and adore you, O three-eyed one, O Shiva. You are sweet gladness, the fragrance of life, who nourishes us, restores our health, and causes us to thrive. As, in due time, the stem of the cucumber weakens, and the gourd is freed from the vine, so free us from attachment and death, and do not withhold immortality."




"Om Namah Shivaya"

English translation of this mantra:

"I honor the divinity within myself." "May the elements of this creation abide in me in perfection." "May the greatest that can be in this world be created in me, in others and in this world." "I bow to Lord Shiva."
