Sri Veda Saar Shiva Stava by Bhagavatpada Jagadguru Adi Shankaracharya

This extremely beautiful and powerful hymn gives the essence of the Vedas, as is declared in its title.

Composer: Adi Shankaracharya. The complete works of Adi Shankaracharya (in Sanskrit) are available at: http://www.samatabooks.com/

The complete hymn in devnaagari script along with an english translation is available at http://www.stutimandal.com/gif_adi/veda_sara_siva_stavah.htm

An english transliteration is available at:

A very melodious rendition of this hymn is available in the Cd: Shiva Stotras by K Munshi & others. However, it has this hymn as a part of a track which has other hymns too, thus making it difficult to use for a YouTube video. The pictures are random downloads from the web.

In contrast to Bhavaniashtakam which lists out the disqualifications of the worshipper and mentions the worshipped by a single name only, Vedasaarshivastotram makes no mention of the worshipper, even remotely and provides a multitude of names of the Lord.

In this hymn, the Jagadguru shares sacred knowledge in a capsule that is as powerful as it is melodious and simple to understand.

If we use it daily.....so that the meaning (which is different from the translation) is revealed in our hearts. In the hearts of each one of us.
