Shivananda Lahari
Shivananda Lahari (IAST Śivānanda Lahari) is a devotional hymn composed by Adi Shankara, the 8th-century Advaita philosopher, on Lord Shiva.
It literally means Wave of Auspicious Bliss. It consists of one hundred stanzas of Sanskrit poetry in various chandas (metres). It was composed by Adi Shankara while staying in Srisailam, a pilgrimage town, in Kurnool district of Andhra Pradesh. It begins with an ode to Mallikarjuna and Bhramarambika, the deities at Srisailam
Sri Ramana Maharshi selected ten verses from, Sivanandalahari, the famous composition of Adi Sankaracharya in Sanskrit consisting of one hundred verses in praise of Lord Siva and arranged them in a specific order.
These verses are very potent in invoking the Grace of Lord Siva. They also contain spiritual ideas which are revealing, inspiring and insightful. One of the verses asks “Kim Durlabham” meaning what is impossible for one who worships Lord Shiva. The verses also cautions readers against fruitless worship of superficial gods.
As the auspicious Maha Sivaratri approaches we give below each verse selected by Sri Ramana Maharshi, their concise meaning (from Talks with Sri Ramana Maharshi), original verse in Sanskrit, English transliteration and complete meaning of the verses. You can read it here.
