Thanks a billion volkerwanderung....who sing this Bhavanyastakam...really nice....stress reliever

[Wingrin1]

Thank you Lord Shiva for your help and wisdom

[chikaleeswaran7]

Well... Before further arguments arise!!!!!

Shiva is not a person but a concept of divinity given form by the ancient men for people find it easier to relate something that is of a form.

Shiva translates to Innocence, Joy, Bliss

Parameshwara refers that supreme source of divinity.

So I don't think calling Jesus a Prophet of THAT supreme source of divinity is a bad thing...

Dude, Christ is all that and more!!!!

@TheMetroRock A small minority... though everyone appreciates it!

[serpent7700]

@chikaleeswaran7 1000000% Agree and I love this concept ! Shiva and Shakti ( Supreme and his Supreme Powers ) together are creator, preserver and destroyer of the worlds. But I also like to worship the Shankar and Parvati worship of ultimate with form . I am in love with Shiva.

Really Shiva is pure bliss, joy , grace.

[lucius215]

One of the best things i ever stumbled upon! the lyrics are absolutely amazing!

thanks for posting.

[UniversalPat]

This song is from

Sacred Chants of ShivaCraig Pruess and the Singers of the Art of Living

Guru is SHRI SHRI Ravi Shankar

[TheMetroRock]

how many people in India speak Sanscrit or understand it?

[postwala]

its no more a usage language, its has progressed into many branches. This looks more of Hindi version of Sanskrit.

All these languages are taken over by english though

[godsphrophet]

this chant makes me think of Jesus Christ and nothing else. JAI HOOO

[achuliju]

Ys... its bcoz jesus is a prophet of Parameswara... and you ppl don't know who is  Parameswara

[abhipar64]

Be thankful to Lord Shiva, atleast through him you are able to think of Jesus...

[xXBlackxRebelXx]

hey bro are you Jewish

[postwala]

We better understand the philosophy of forms of god rather than few names and tags and start adoring them with blind faith

[mimi2063]

Yes, indeed, it is the best and the most beautiful BHAVANYASTAKAM !

[kornigator]

AWESOME

[Califfo90]

Is this Diksha?

[angelforfreedom]

Only if sung to you (sometimes directly in to your right ear) by your guru AFTER you have proven yourself worthy and have been initiated.

[sagaciouslyours]

this is great!

[karthikraj89]

Thnx Bro...

[karthikraj89]

Wat language is this in???

[volkerwanderung]

sanskrit

[princegoutham]

Lord Siva is the Supreme Reality

The one without a second—Ekameva Advitiyam.

Siva alone exists in Himself.He is the Impersonal Absolute Brahman.

He cannot be seen by the eyes but

He can be realised within the heart through devotion and meditation,Lord Shiva is the God of all and is worshipped by All,(Gods)Such As Brahma,Vishnu,Rama,Krishna,Gan­esha,By Asuras (Demons)like Bana, Ravana,By(Humans) like Adi Shankara, Nayanars,

[darkasnac]

I bought the sacred chants of Shiva tape in Delhi and listened to it all over India. Especially on long train journeys. This track is probably my favourite. It's also the best Bhavanyastakam that I've heard - many of the modern versions are much faster and lose the intense tranquility that this imparts.

I think it's a chant about understanding that the physical world is an illusion, and that only the Goddess is real. So it's about renunciation and acceptance.

[Akshay8585]

@Darkasnac that pretty much sums it up.

[Silasbenjamin]

@darkasnac I wouldn't exactly say that. In one story, Shiva destroys all the material things, frustrated with the material world, and the people begin to starve. Parvati, his wife, incarnates as Annapurna to feed the people. Shiva comes begging to her with a skull bowl for alms and says: "Now I see that the material world, just as the spirit, cannot be dismissed as an illusion." The illusion (Maya) is not the material world.

[Silasbenjamin]

@darkasnac Instead, the material world is very real, but our perception of the world creates the illusion that things are divided and separate, when in fact all things are connected. The numerological significance of Maya (the Goddess of Illusion) is 2, for the illusion of 1 and 1 equaling 2 assumes that one and one are not one in the same.

[shearkahnn]

amazing.. beyond this physical world i have to admit.

[bijoycm]

thank you....thank you so much.......

[bijoycm]

can anyone give the meaning/ eglish version of this hymn in brief.....pls

[volkerwanderung]

In this material world, neither father, nor mother, neither relatives nor helpers, neither son nor daughter, neither husband nor wife, neither scriptural wisdom nor professional knowledge - are mine. Therefore, O Mother of the universe! O Divine Consort of Lord Shiva! You alone are my eternal Refuge !! That's the first verse...and pretty much sum it up. What you are is the unborn nature.

[health4yoga4toronto]

@volkerwanderung Thanks alot.

I bow my head to you.

Om Namaha Shivaya

[RusskayaImperia]

@volkerwanderung - is there any chance to get a latin transcription of the song? =)
