Shiv Puja Mantras - Sankalp

Shlokas of a complete Shiva Puja, recited by Pandit R P Kimothi.

Lord Shiva resides at his abode of Mount Kailash, with Devi Durga. They have two sons, Kartikeya and Ganesh. The Shiva family includes his devotee Bhringi and the bull Nandi, which is also Shiva's vehicle.

According to the Vedic texts, a complete puja of Lord Shiva is performed only when the whole Shiva family is included in the puja. Hence, this puja album includes the ganesh-ambika puja and the shiv parivaar puja. The album also includes the shodash upchaar puja and the shiv ashtottar shat naamavali (108 names of Lord Shiva). This is followed by the panch vaktra puja which is the puja of the five constituents of Lord Shiva as mentioned above. The album ends with a prayer for forgiveness to Lord Shiva.

Lord Shiva is commonly represented by his mantra, Namaha Shivaya. This mantra has five constituents namely: Na, maha, shi, va, and ya. These five constituents represent the five elements (air, water, earth, fire and space), and additionally, the five senses. Lord Shiva is also represented by five faces, each of which is said to represent the five constituents mentioned above.
