lyrics

Hey Shiva Shankara Hey Maheshwara
Sukha Kara Dukha Hara Hara Hara Shankara
Om Namah Shivaya
Hey Shiva Shankara Hey Maheshwara Hara Shambho Hara Shambho


Shiva is the destroyer of the ego, and the witness of all that passes, the eternal cycle of forms arising and dissolving. In yoga, all sorrow is seen as arising from identification with transient things, and all happiness from identification with the eternal. Om Namah Shivaya means salutations to Shiva, or I am at one with the power of the infinite.
