How to Chant श्री विश्वकर्मा स्तोत्रम् (ध्यान स्तुति)
Instructions
After bathing, set up the image or picture of Vishwakarma along with the tools, instruments or machines to be blessed. Light a lamp and incense, and recite the dhyana-stuti with devotion, visualizing the Lord's five-faced, golden, ten-armed form as each line describes him. Offer flowers, fruit and sweets, and conclude with the mantra 'Om Vishwakarmaya Namah.' Artisans and workers traditionally worship their implements on this day before resuming work.
Spiritual Significance
It is traditionally believed that Vishwakarma, worshipped even by the gods for the fulfilment of their aims as the seventh verse states, blesses the tools and undertakings of his devotees so that their work prospers; artisans and workers hold that machines and instruments worshipped with this stuti on Vishwakarma Puja run smoothly and free of mishap through the year.
Origin & History
Source: Traditional Vishwakarma puja liturgy (dhyana-stuti)
Author: Traditional (composer unknown)
Vishwakarma is hailed in the Vedas and Puranas as the divine architect — the maker of the gods' weapons, palaces and chariots, and the very craftsman of the cosmos. This dhyana-stuti, used in Vishwakarma puja, visualises him not merely as an artisan but as the supreme creative power in a five-faced cosmic form, mirroring the great Lord, radiant like countless suns and compassionate to all. On Vishwakarma Jayanti, observed widely across India especially in industrial and craft communities, workers worship their tools, machines and instruments with this hymn, praying for skill, success and the removal of obstacles in their labour.
