Shiva Stuti


Shiva Stuti, is one of the most famous Stutis composed by Sri Narayana Panditacharya in praise of Lord Shiva. Stuti means eulogy, singing praise, panegyric and to praise the virtues, deeds and nature of God by realising them in our hearts. In this stuti Narayana Panditacharya eulogised the power, beauty, virtues, qualities, and also the five forms of Lord Shiva. The Shiva Stuti consists of 13 verses and is recited daily or on special festivals like Maha Shivaratri by Hindus. Once it so happened that when Sri Narayana Panditacharya went to Rameshwaram Temple, the doors were closed. He prayed Lord Shiva with "Shiva Stuti". The temple doors opened automatically and he had the darshan of Lord Shiva.
