Beautiful devotional songs of lord Shiva

Bhaktimala Shiva vol 1

These songs of lord shiva are really great in meanings too .I think the lyrics of the songs must clear the meanings of these bhajans .Few of them are from tulasidas ji who was a great devotee of lord Ram .We can see in his creations that how he always urged for the devotion of his lord from Shiv ji because according to him "

binu tab kripa ram pad pankaj sapnehu bhagati na hoyi " where he says to Shiv ji that without your's grace one can not get the devotion of lord Ram even in the dreams .So if you want to be a dear one of your lord first you need to become dearer to Lord shiva . :) Shiv ji is very innocent .One of the stories telling about his innocense is like that ... there was a demon named vrkkasur who did a lot effort to make Lord shiv happy so that he may ask for a boon of his will from the lord .Shankar ji is so innocent when he saw him burning in penance he expressed himself in front of him and said I am happy with your penance what do you want from me ? He said I want a boon which is like whenever I stare at anyone he/she should burn to ash .Shiv ji said : So be it .And just after getting the boon that demon started staring at shiv ji himself and then there was a panic in all the three lokas . Finally lord vishnu drew a solution and made the demon to die of his own earned boon .

I am sure the lyrics of these bhajans will make you feel more and more divine of these .

Thanks

Oh Shankar : who blesses the living beings with their life

your devotees are always requesting to you O master of naives

oh pellet drum holder Oh God of Kailash  , the great deity ,the god of all minstrels

o annihilator o withdrawer of fear always  save my diginity 

 the pire ash is lying on whose forehead  and the shaft is decorated with the stoop and the trident

 devotion and salvation being your path, the earth has become an eternal  bliss .

Lyrics- 

Jatatavee gala jjala pravaha pavitha sthale,
Gale avalabhya lambithaam bhujanga thunga malikaam,
Dama ddama dama ddama ninnadava damarvayam,
Chakara chanda thandavam thanothu na shiva shivam

Jata kataha sambhramabrama nillimpa nirjari,
Vilola veechi vallari viraja mana moordhani,
Dhaga dhaga daga jjwala lalata patta pavake,
Kishora Chandra shekare rathi prathi kshanam mama

Dara darendra nandini vilasa bhandhu bhandura,
Sphuradigantha santhathi pramodha mana manase,
Krupa kadaksha dhorani niruddha durdharapadi,
Kwachi digambare mano vinodhamethu vasthuni

Jada bhujanga pingala sphurath phana mani prabha,
Kadamba kumkuma drava praliptha digwadhu mukhe,
Madhandha sindhura sphurathwagu utthariya medhure,
Mano vinodhamadhbutham bibarthu bhootha bharthari

Sahasra lochana prabhoothyasesha lekha shekhara,
Prasoona dhooli dhorani vidhu sarangri peedabhu,
Bhujangaraja Malaya nibhadha jada jhootaka,
Sriyai chiraya jayatham chakora bandhu shekhara

Lalata chathwara jwaladhanam jaya sphulingabha,
Nipeetha pancha sayagam saman nilimpanayakam,
Sudha mayookha lekhaya virajamana shekharam,
Maha kapali sampade, siro jadalamasthu na

Karala bhala pattika dhagadhaga jjwala,
Ddhanam jayahuthi krutha prachanda pancha sayage ,
Dharadharendra nandhini kuchagra chithrapathraka,
Prakalpanaika shilpini, trilochane rather mama

Naveena megha mandali nirudha durdharath sphurath,
Kahoo niseedhi neethama prabhandha bandha kandhara,
Nilimpa nirjari darsthanothu kruthi sindhura,
Kala nidhana bandhura sriyam jagat durandhara

Prafulla neela pankaja prapancha kalima prabha,
Valambhi kanda kanthali ruchi prabandha kandharam,
Smarschidham puraschidham bhavaschidham makhachidham,
Gajachidandakachidham tham anthakachidham bhaje

Agarva sarva mangalaa kalaa kadamba manjari,
Rasa pravaha madhuri vijrumbha mana madhu vrtham,
Suranthakam, paranthakam, bhavanthakam, makhandakam,
Gajandhakandhakandakam thamanthakanthakam bhaje

Jayathwadhabra vibramadbujaamga maswasath,
Vinirgamath, kramasphurath, karala bhala havya vat,
Dhimi dhimi dhimi dhwanan mrudanga thunga mangala,
Dhwani karma pravarthitha prachanda thandawa shiva

Drusha dwichi thra thalpayor bhujanga moukthika srajo,
Garishta rathna loshtayo suhrudhwi paksha pakshayo,
Trunara vinda chakshusho praja mahee mahendrayo,
Samapravarthika kadha sadashivam bhajamyaham

Kada nilampa nirjaree nikunja kotare vasan,
Vimuktha durmathee sada sirasthanjaleem vahan,
Vilola lola lochano lalama bhala lagnaka,
Shivethi manthamucharan kada sukhee bhavamyaham

Imam hi nithya meva muktha muthamothamam sthavam,
Padan, smaran broovan naro vishudhimethi santhatham,
Hare Gurou subhakthimasu yathi nanyadha gatheem,
Vimohinam hi dehinaam sushakarasya chithanam

Poojavasana samaye dasa vakhra geetham,
Ya shambhu poojana param padthi pradhoshe,
Thasya sthiraam radha gajendra thuranga yuktham,
Lakshmeem sadaiva sumukheem pradadathi shambu

Ithi Ravana krutham,

Sampoornam,
