शिव (Shiva) आरती – जय गंगाधर (Jai Gangadhar)

शिव आरती

॥ॐ नम: शिवाय॥

॥जय श्री पशुपतिनाथ॥

ॐ जय गंगाधर जय हर जय गिरिजाधीशा ।
त्वं मां पालय नित्यं कृपया जगदीशा ॥ 
ॐ हर हर महादेव

Glory to Hara, Bearer of the Ganges. Glory to Shiva, Lord of Girija and Gauri. By your grace, Lord of the World, protect me forever.

कैलासे गिरिशिखरे कल्पद्रमविपिने ।
गुंजति मधुकरपुंजे कुंजवने गहने ॥

ॐ हर हर महादेव
कोकिलकूजित खेलत हंसावन ललिता ।
रचयति कलाकलापं नृत्यति मुदसहिता ॥
ॐ हर हर महादेव

On Mount Kailas is a forest of wish-fulfilling trees, bees that make a sweet humming sound, cukoos sing and beautiful swans sport there. Peacocks spread their plumes and dance with joy.

तस्मिंल्ललितसुदेशे शाला मणिरचिता ।
तन्मध्ये हरनिकटे गौरी मुदसहिता ॥

ॐ हर हर महादेव

क्रीडा रचयति भूषारंचित निजमीशम्‌ ।
इंद्रादिक सुर सेवत नामयते शीशम्‌ ॥
ॐ हर हर महादेव

In that pleasant spot is a mansion bedecked with precious stones. There, Gauri plays near Hara (Shiva), and pleases her Lord with her adornments.

बिबुधबधू बहु नृत्यत नामयते मुदसहिता ।
किन्नर गायन कुरुते सप्त स्वर सहिता ॥
ॐ हर हर महादेव

धिनकत थै थै धिनकत मृदंग वादयते ।
क्वण क्वण ललिता वेणुं मधुरं नाटयते॥
ॐ हर हर महादेव

The wives of the Gods dance there, their hearts filled with joy. The celestial musicians sing melodies, the drums and flute produce sweet sounds.

रुण रुण चरणे रचयति नूपुरमुज्ज्वलिता ।
चक्रावर्ते भ्रमयति कुरुते तां धिक तां ॥
ॐ हर हर महादेव


तां तां लुप चुप तां तां डमरू वादयते ।
अंगुष्ठांगुलिनादं लासकतां कुरुते 
ॐ हर हर महादेव

The shining anklets with small bells make a jingling sound, the damsels, forming circles, sing and dance making sweet sounds with the clapping of their hands and snapping of the thumb and middle fingers.

कपूर्रद्युतिगौरं पंचाननसहितम्‌ ।
त्रिनयनशशिधरमौलिं विषधरकण्ठयुतम्‌ ॥
ॐ हर हर महादेव


सुन्दरजटायकलापं पावकयुतभालम्‌ ।
डमरुत्रिशूलपिनाकं करधृतनृकपालम्‌ ॥ 
ॐ हर हर महादेव

O Shiva, You have the luster of shining camphor. You have five heads, three eyes, and the moon on Your crest. You have a serpent round Your neck. You have beautiful braided hair on Your head. Your forehead is adorned with fire. You hold the damaru (small drum), the trident, and the bow pinaka. You hold a human skull in Your hand.

मुण्डै रचयति माला पन्नगमुपवीतम्‌ ।
वामविभागे गिरिजारूपं अतिललितम्‌ ॥
ॐ हर हर महादेव


सुन्दरसकलशरीरे कृतभस्माभरणम्‌ ।
इति वृषभध्वजरूपं तापत्रयहरणं ॥ 
ॐ हर हर महादेव

You adorn Yourself with a garland of skulls and wear a serpent as the sacred thread. Parvati is at Your left side. Your form is very beautiful. Your whole body is smeared with ashes. You have a bull in your banner. O Hara, the beneficial Bestower of bliss! You remove all miseries.

शंखनिनादं कृत्वा झल्लरि नादयते ।
नीराजयते ब्रह्मा वेदऋचां पठते ॥
ॐ हर हर महादेव

अतिमृदुचरणसरोजं हृत्कमले धृत्वा ।
अवलोकयति महेशं ईशं अभिनत्वा ॥
ॐ हर हर महादेव

The conch shell is blown; the metallic drum resounds. Brahma and Vishnu are waving lights and reciting the Vedic hymns before You. Thus having hailed His soft lotus feet and having bowed down to the Lord, one gazes steadily at the great God and at the Lord of gods with beneficience.

ध्यानं आरति समये हृदये अति कृत्वा ।
रामस्त्रिजटानाथं ईशं अभिनत्वा ॥
ॐ हर हर महादेव

संगतिमेवं प्रतिदिन पठनं यः कुरुते ।
शिवसायुज्यं गच्छति भक्त्या यः श्रृणुते ॥
ॐ हर हर महादेव

We meditate upon You, who sport in the hearts of devotees and who are the Lord of Trijata. We bow down to you the Lord. One who daily recites this song and one who hears it with devotion attains oneness with Shiva.

॥ॐ नम: शिवाय॥

॥जय श्री पशुपतिनाथ॥

Rudrashtakam ( रूद्राष्टक स्तोत्र ) By Tulsidas

Rudrashtakam रूद्राष्टक स्तोत्र
By Tulsidas
ॐ नमः शिवायः ।

नमामीशमीशान निर्वाण रूपं, विभुं व्यापकं ब्रह्म वेदः स्वरूपम्‌ ।

अजं निर्गुणं निर्विकल्पं निरीहं, चिदाकाश माकाशवासं भजेऽहम्‌ ॥ १॥

O Ishan! I pray You, the one Who is the lord of all, Who is in eternal Nirvana-bliss, Who is resplendent, Who is omni-present, and Who is Brahman and Ved in totality. I adore You, Who is for self, Who is formless, Who is without change, Who is passionless, Who is like the sky (immeasurable), and Who lives in the sky.||1||

निराकार मोंकार मूलं तुरीयं, गिराज्ञान गोतीतमीशं गिरीशम्‌ ।

करालं महाकाल कालं कृपालुं, गुणागार संसार पारं नतोऽहम्‌ ॥ २॥

I bow prostrate to You, Who is without a form, Who is the root of sounds, Who is the fourth impersonal state of the Atman, Who is beyond the scope of tongue, knowledge and sense-organs, Who is the Lord, Who is the Lord of Himalaya, Who is fierce, Who is the destroyer of fierce Kala, Who is benevolent, Who is the abode of qualities, and is beyond the universe.||2||

तुषाराद्रि संकाश गौरं गभीरं, मनोभूत कोटि प्रभा श्री शरीरम्‌ ।

स्फुरन्मौलि कल्लोलिनी चारू गंगा, लसद्भाल बालेन्दु कण्ठे भुजंगा॥ ३॥

I bow to You, Who is white on all like the snow, Who is profound, Who is mind, Who is in the form of living beings, Who has immense splendor and wealth. He has shining forehead with playful and enticing Ganga, He has shiny forehead with a crescent moon, and He has snake garlands in the neck.||3||

चलत्कुण्डलं शुभ्र नेत्रं विशालं, प्रसन्नाननं नीलकण्ठं दयालुम्‌ ।
मृगाधीश चर्माम्बरं मुण्डमालं, प्रिय शंकरं सर्वनाथं भजामि ॥ ४॥

I adore Shankara, Who has swaying earrings, Who has beautiful eye on the forehead, Who is spreadout and large, Who is happy at face, Who has a blue-throat, Who is benevolent, Who has a lion-skin around His waist, Who has skull-cap garland, and Who is the dear-Lord of everyone.||4||

प्रचण्डं प्रकृष्टं प्रगल्भं परेशं, अखण्डं अजं भानु कोटि प्रकाशम्‌ ।

त्रिधाशूल निर्मूलनं शूल पाणिं, भजेऽहं भवानीपतिं भाव गम्यम्‌ ॥ ५॥

I adore the Lord of Bhavani, Who is fierce, Who is immense, Who is mature and brave, Who is beyond everyone, Who is indivisible, Who is unborn, Who is resplendent like millions of sun, Who uproots the three qualities (and makes us dispassionate), Who holds a trident, and Who can be achieved with emotions.||5||

कलातीत कल्याण कल्पान्तकारी, सदा सज्जनान्द दाता पुरारी।

चिदानन्द सन्दोह मोहापकारी, प्रसीद प्रसीद प्रभो मन्मथारी ॥ ६ ॥

O Destroyer of Kamadev, Who is beyond artwork, Who is auspicious, Who causes the end of the universe, Who always provides bliss to good people, Who destroyed Pura, Who is eternal bliss, Who absolves abundant passion! O Prabhu! Please be happy, be happy.||6||

न यावद् उमानाथ पादारविन्दं, भजन्तीह लोके परे वा नराणाम्‌ ।

न तावद् सुखं शांति सन्ताप नाशं, प्रसीद प्रभो सर्वं भूताधि वासं ॥ ७॥

Those who don’t adore the lotus-feet of the Lord of Uma (Shiv), that men don’t get happiness, comfort, and peace — in this world or the other worlds after death. O the abode of all the living beings! O Prabhu! Please be happy.||7||

न जानामि योगं जपं नैव पूजा, न तोऽहम्‌ सदा सर्वदा शम्भू तुभ्यम्‌ ।

जरा जन्म दुःखौघ तातप्यमानं, प्रभोपाहि आपन्नामामीश शम्भो ॥ ८ ॥

I don’t know yoga, japa (chanting of names), or prayers. Still, I am bowing continuously and always to You. O Shambhu! O Prabhu! Save me from the unhappiness due to old age, birth, grief, sins, and troubles. I bow to You, Who is the Lord.||8||

रुद्राष्टकमिदं प्रोक्त्तं विप्रेण हरतोषये ।
ये पठंति नरा भक्यात् तेषां शंभु:प्रसीदति ॥९॥

॥ इति श्रीगोस्वामितुलसीदासकृत श्रीरुद्राष्टकं सम्पूर्णम् ॥

Shiva (शिव) Dasasloki Nirvana Dasakam (दशश्लोकी) Nirvana Dashakam

दशश्लोकी (Dasashloki)
by
आदि शंकराचार्य (
Adi Shankaracharya)
न भूमिर्न तोयं न तेजो न वायुः
न खं नेन्द्रियं वा न तेषां समूहः 
अनेकान्तिकत्वात् सुषुप्त्येकसिद्दः
तदेकोऽवशिष्टः शिवः केवलोऽहम् ॥१॥
“I am not the Earth nor Water, neither Fire nor Air, I am not space. Neither am I any of the Faculties nor am I their aggregrate. [I am not any of these] as they are all uncertain. I am proved however in the sole experience of deep sleep. That One, the Residue, the Auspicious, the Only One, am I.” [1]
न वर्णा न वर्णाश्रमाचारधर्मा
न मे धारणाध्यानयोगादयोपि 
अनात्माश्रयाहंममाध्यासहानात्
तदेकोऽवशिष्टः शिवः केवलोऽहम् ॥२॥
The castes are not for me, nor the observances and duties attached to the castes and the stages of life. Even the steadying of the mind, concentration, self-communion and other courses are not for me. For the mistaken senses of I and MINE which rested on the Non-Self have been abondoned. That One, the Residue, the Auspicious, the Alone, am I. [2]
न माता पिता वा न देवा न लोका
न वेदा न यज्ञा न तीर्थ ब्रुवन्ति 
सुषप्तौ निरस्तातिशून्यात्मकत्वात्
तदेकोऽवशिष्टः शिवः केवलोऽहम् ॥३॥
There is no mother nor father; no gods nor regions of experience; no scriptures nor sacrifical sites; and no sacred place-so say the Sages. For, in the state of deep sleep, all these are negatived and that state is completely devoid (of any object of perception) That One, the Residue, the Auspicious, the Alone, am I. [3]

न साख्यं न शैवं न तत्पाञ्चरात्रं
न जैनं न मीमांसकादेर्मतं वा 
विशिष्टानुभूत्या विशुद्धात्मकत्वात्
तदेकोऽवशिष्टः शिवः केवलोऽहम् ॥४॥

There is no Sankhya nor Saiva, nor that Pancharatra nor Jaina. The conception of the Mimamsaka and others does not exist. For, through the direct realisation of what is qualified, the Self is known as of the nature of the Absolutely Pure. That One, the Residue, the Auspicious, the Alone, am I. [4]
न चोर्ध्व न चाधो न चान्तर्न बाह्यं
न मध्यं न तिर्यँ न पूर्वाऽपरा दिक् 
वियद्व्यापकत्वादखण्डैकरूपः
तदेकोऽवशिष्टः शिवः केवलोऽहम् ॥५॥
There is neither above nor below, neither inside nor outside, no middle nor crosswise, no direction, east or west. For it is all-pervasive like space. It is partless and homogeneous in its nature. That One, the Residue, the Auspicious, the Alone, am I. [5]
न शुक्लं न कृष्णं न रक्तं न पीतं
न कुब्जं न पीनं न ह्रस्वं न दीर्घम् 
अरूपं तथा ज्योतिराकारकत्वात्
तदेकोऽवशिष्टः शिवः केवलोऽहम् ॥६॥
It is neither white nor black, neither red nor yellow, neither dwarfish nor stout, neither short nor long. As it is of the nature of light, it is shapeless also. That One, the Residue, the Auspicious, the Alone, am I. [6]
न शास्ता न शास्त्रं न शिष्यो न शिक्षा
न च त्वं न चाहं न चायं प्रपञ्चः
स्वरूपावबोधो विकल्पासहिष्णुः
तदेकोऽवशिष्टः शिवः केवलोऽहम् ॥७॥
There is no ruler nor rule, no pupil nor training. There is no YOU nor I. This universe is not. For the realistion of the true nature of the Self does not tolerate any distincion. That One, the Residue, the Auspicious, the Alone, am I. [7]
न जाग्रन् न मे स्वप्नको वा सुषुप्तिः
न विश्वौ न वा तैजसः प्राज्ञको वा
अविद्यात्मकत्वात् त्रयाणं तुरीयः
तदेकोऽवशिष्टः शिवः केवलोऽहम् ॥८॥
There is no waking state for me nor dream or deep sleep. I am not Visva[the Self identified with the experience of the waking state], nor Taijasa[identified with dream state], nor Prajna[identified with deep sleep]. I am really the Fourth(Turiya). That One, the Residue, the Auspicious, the Alone, am I. [8]
अपि व्यापकत्वात् हितत्वप्रयोगात्
स्वतः सिद्धभावादनन्याश्रयत्वात्
जगत् तुच्छमेतत् समस्तं तदन्यत्
तदेकोऽवशिष्टः शिवः केवलोऽहम् ॥९॥ 
All this universe which is other than the Self is worthless(having no existence of its own) for it is well known that the Self is all pervasive, recognised as the reality and that its existence is self-proven and does not depend upon anything else. That One, the Residue, the Auspicious, the Alone, am I. [9]
न चैकं तदन्यद् द्वितीयं कुतः स्यात्
न केवलत्वं न चाऽकेवलत्वम् 
न शुन्यं न चाशून्यमद्वैतकत्वात्
कथं सर्ववेदान्तसिद्धं ब्रवीमि ॥१०॥
It is not one, for how can there be a second distinct from it? Aloneness cannot be attributed to it nor even not-aloneness. It is neither a void nor a non-void. When it does not admit of a second entity, in what manner can I speak about it though it is established by all the Upanishads. ? [10]

भगवती पार्वती जसको आधा अङ्ग हुनुहुन्छ, जो संसारको सृष्टि, स्थिति र प्रलयको कारण हुनुहुन्छ, आदिदेव हुनुहुन्छ, विश्वनाथ हुनुहुन्छ, विश्व-विजयी र मनोहर हुनुहुन्छ, संसारिक रोगलाई नष्ट गर्न लागि औषधीरुपी उनै गिरिश (शिव) लाई म प्रातःकालमा नमस्कार गर्दछु ।

प्रातर्भजामि शिवमेकमनन्तमाद्यं
वेदान्तवेद्यमनघं पुरूषं महान्तम् ।
नामादिभेदरहितं षड्भावशून्यं
संसाररोगहरमौषधमद्वितीयम् ॥३॥

जो अन्तहित आदिदेव हुनुहुन्छ, वेदान्तले जान्न योग्य, पापरहित एवं महान् पुरुष हुनुहुन्छ, तथा जो नाम आदि भेदले रहित, छ अभाबले शून्य, संसारिक रोगलाई हरण गर्नको लागि अद्वितिय औषधी हुनुहुन्छ, उनै एकमात्र शिवजीको म प्रातःकालमा भजन गर्दछु ।

प्रातः समुत्थाय शिवं विचिन्त्य श्लोकत्रयं ।
ते दुःखजातं बहुजन्मसंचितं हित्वा पदं यान्ति तदेव शम्भोः ॥४॥

जो मनुष्य प्रातःकाल उठेर शिवजीको ध्यान गरी प्रतिदिन यी तिन श्लोकको पाठ गर्दछ, उनीहरू अनेक जन्ममा संचित दुःख समूहबाट मुक्त भई शिवजीको ‍उनै कल्याणमय पदलाई प्राप्त गर्दछन् ।
