Word-by-Word Breakdown
Origin & History
Source: Composed by Adi Shankaracharya
Author: Adi Shankaracharya
Period: 8th century CE
Shankaracharya's Shiva Manasa Puja is the most beloved of all 'mental worships'. In five verses the devotee offers Shiva a jewelled throne, a Himalayan bath, divine robes, a feast in a golden bowl, music, dance and prostration — all imagined within the heart — then realises that his very Self is Shiva, his every act a worship, and finally begs forgiveness for all his faults. It is the perfect prayer for the devotee who has only love to give.
