॥ Lord Shiva Mahima Ashtakam Meaning ॥
Mangalam to him who has a blue neck,
Who makes things happen,

Who is without properties,
Who is the soul of good conduct,
Who is the death to god of death,
And who has a very angry form. ॥ 1 ॥
Mangalam to the consort of Gowri,
Who rides on a bull and is gross,
Who wears the skin of a tiger,
And who is the lord of all beings. ॥ 2 ॥
Mangalam to him who has the sky as hair,
Whose body is anointed with holy ash,
Who wears a holy thread of snake,
And who wears the garland of Rudraksha. ॥ 3 ॥
Mangalam to the god of the impassioned devotee,
Who has sun, moon and fire as his eyes,
Who lives on Mount Kailasa,
And has the form of real perennial joy. ॥ 4 ॥

Who helps us with victory over death,
Who is always with Goddess Amba,
Who does creation, upkeep and destruction,

And who is extremely peaceful. ॥ 5 ॥

Will not have fear of death and also fear of disease and bad times. ॥ 9 ॥
