Jai Siya Ram ll

udhbhavasthitisanharakarinim kleshaharinim l sarvashreyaskarim sitam nato ham ramavallabham ll

I bow to Sitaji, the beloved consort of Sri Ram, who is responsible for the creation, sustenance, and dissolution of the universe, who removes afflictions and blemishes.

Har Shiva Samba Sadashiva gagan dhwani gaaje, shiva gagan dhwaani gaaje, gauripati ne bhajata, umapati ne bhajata, nrutya thaya aje, Om Har Har Har Mahadev.

Ae be ek swarup, antar nav dharaso, bhola bhudar ne bhajata, bhola bhavani ne bhajata, bhavsagar tarasho, Om Har Har Har Mahadev.

Shiv Shankar ni aarati je koi gashe, shiva je bhave gashe, bhane shivanand swami, kaye shivanand swami, sukh sampati thase, har kailash jashe, shiva shankar dukh harse, Om Har Har Har Mahadev.

The sky is filled with the sounds of the names of Shankar, Shiva, Samba and Sadashiva, everyone is worshipping the Lord of Gauri/Uma, He who is dancing today.

Both are forms of the same truth, worship Lord Shiva, Bhudar, and his consort Bhavani, the most merciful, innocent and pure ones, they will save you from this ocean of death and rebirth.

Shivanand swami proclaims one who sings this pleasing aarti of Shiv Shankar, will become happy, the Lord will take away their sorrow and ultimatley will lead them to His abode.

Om Har Har Har Mahadev.

Shubh Shivaratri.

The Descent of Ganga

Beautiful photo. Love this photo, the sheer strength of Shiv is depicted so beautifully; the water of Ganga creating such intense heat flames are arising from Rudra’s body. 

Ambaji.

shulena pahi no devi pahi kadgena cha’mbike l ghanta svanena nah pahi chapajyanih svanena cha ll 

Oh Goddess, protect us with your spear; Ambika, protect us with your sword,
protect us with the sound of your bell, and with the twanging of your
bow-string. Chandi Path 4.24

* Ambika, Amba, Ambe, Jagadambe, Jagadambike, Paramba, all names belong to her.

Shiva.

His bodily hue as fair as jasmine, the moon, and the conch shell; with twisted coils of hair for a crown and the celestial river Ganga adorning His head, eyes as beautiful as a pair of lotus petals, throat dark with poison and with the crescent moon shining above His brow, the Lord looked like a veritable mine of beauty.

Tribhanga sundar.

Lord Krishna is given the name Tribhanga Lalit, he whose body assumes a beautiful threefold bending form (shoulder, hip/knee, and foot). It is considered a graceful and almost sensual pose. It is the classic pose Lord Krsna takes when playing his flute.
