Siva Manasa Puja by Adi Sankaracarya (Text, Transliteration, Word-Word-Meaning, Translation and Detailed Commentary)

Everything about the Lord is 'Satyam Sivam Sundaram' (Truth-Auspiciousness-Beauty) - His names, forms, qualities, nature…… He is therefore truly worshipful (pujya), as are His worshippers (pujakas).

Param Pujya Guruji Swami Tejomayananda, the Head of Chinmaya Mission, gave discourses on the Siva Manasa Puja (the mental worship of Lord Shiva) of Adi Sankaracarya in February 2005 as his worship (puja) of the Lord on the occasion of the inauguration of a Shiva Temple. We are glad to present these words of worship in a book-form as out offering at the feet of the Lord.

Further, dedicated seva was added by Sri Krishnamurthi of Mayapuri Graphics, Chennai (cover-page design), Smt. Meena Murthy of CIRS, Coimbatore (typing) and Smt. Radhika Krishnakumar, Chennai (editing) as their offering. Our grateful thanks to all.

It was His Grace that makes all effort possible. May His Grace be ever on all His worshippers.
