Between both of them there was a sibling rivalry,

He Wisdom, intellect, literature, success worldly be,

His blessings ever sought to remove hassles truly,

He is invoked as The Patron of Letters initially.

Called Vinayak, Vighneshwer removes obstacles tactfully,

He reverently worshipped at start of auspicious ceremony,

For blessings, good fortunate, removing difficulties.

With four hands, an elephant's head a loving pot belly,

Hols a rope to transport to the truth all his devotees,

An axe to cut attachments, a laddoo to reward surely,

His fourth hand's palm extended to bless his devotees.

His elephant-like head and a mouse his vehicle tiny,

Represents wisdom, intellect, presence of mind fully,

Principal scriptures dedicated to Lord Ganesh surely,

Ganesh and Mudgala Puran, Ganpati Atharvashirsa be.

Om Namah Shivaya

सत्यम् शिवम् सुन्दरम्

‘True is Shiv is beautiful’

A prayer from Shri Vishwanatha Suprabhata

Morning Salutations to Shiva

त्वमेव माता च पिता त्वमेव, त्वमेव बन्धुश्च सखा त्वमेव।

त्वमेव विद्या द्रविणं त्वमेव, त्वमेव सर्वं मम देव देव॥

You my mother and father be,

You are kin and friend to me;

You my knowledge, wealth be,

God of gods! You my all do be.

Primer

Lord Shiv, also as Mahesh known be,

He the third God of the Hindu trinity,

Denoting human nature’s peace truly,

And victory over all demonic activity.

He the Destroyer, Giver, rules totally,

Over the death and destruction fully,

He Lord of meditation, mystic, mystery,

And the greatest of all the known yogis.

He in an ever-meditating form does be,

In an ever-happy posture with beauty,

With matted hair controlling Ganga truly,

And a crescent moon on head clearly.

A serpent around His neck, arms does be,

Trident in hand and ashes over his body,

His vehicle a powerful bull named Nandi,

Who symbol of happiness and strength be.

-

Shiv-Ling, a sign of Lord universally be,

It is pray to in place of Him respectfully,

His Om Namah Shivaya chant evidently,

Consisting but just of six syllables merely.

This om, na, mah, shi, vaa, ya does surely be,

Continually chanted to please Him lovingly,

Some texts refer to these letters reverently,

As the forms of Lord Shiv unquestionably.

As Satyam, Shivam, Sundaram clearly be,

Or Truth, Goodness and Beauty, Shiv be,

He denotes the most vital goodness truly,

And He the God of all the yogis clearly be.

Shiv self-controlled and celibate surely be,

Yet lover of His spouse Shakti concurrently,

In Shiv art of meditation unmistakably be,

Takes its most absolute form undoubtedly.

In meditation, not only mind stopped be,

But all the thing are dropped completely,

Even object of meditation as mantra be,

Transformed into formless essence truly.

Formless essence - of all things and life be,

Thus, Lord Shiv stands for letting go fully,

Of everything in the world of forms surely,

Shiv’s path is the path of the ascetic yogi.

Lord Shiv has many visible forms rightly,

His Panchavaktra form with 5 heads be,

As Aghora in the cremation grounds be,

Ishana often appears as Shivlinga clearly.

Tat Purusha meditating, Varna eternal be,

Saddyojat or Braddha Rudra wrathful be,

This forms connection to Rudraksha surely,

Rosary mala - dried fruits of Rudraksha tree.

As Nataraj Shiv's dance represents wholly,

Destruction and creation of universe truly,

Reveals cycles of death, birth, rebirth clearly,

His Dance of Bliss for welfare of the world be.

In this dance He gives darshan to devotees,

Within consciousness which heart of man be,

Under His feet kills demon of ignorance fully,

Which is caused by forgetfulness certainly.

One hand indicates release of bondage earthly,

Fire denotes final destruction of creation truly,

But dance of the Nataraj also act of creation be,

Stirs latent energies – ensuing creation surely.

He also as Hanuman, the ultimate karma yogi,

In unending selfless service to Lord Ram be,

Never take credit for acts - a true karma yogi,

As that would otherwise not be selfless entirely.

The Mahamrityunyaya form of Shiv does be,

The great conqueror of death unquestionably,

It
