Shiv Manas Puja Stotra | शिव मानस पूजा स्तोत्र

Shiv Manas Puja Stotra (शिव मानस पूजा स्तोत्र): The Shiv Manas Puja Stotra by Sri Adi Shankaracharya is a unique Stotra. It is in the form of a prayer by a devotee who imagines in his mind all the offerings and rituals prescribed in a Pooja and offers them to lord Shiva with faith and devotion. This Stotra is an eye opener to those who are fanatic about rituals as it clearly shows that faith and intentions are more important.

This stotra, more generally, is a mental form of worship and devotion, or Bhakti yoga. It is considered particularly powerful because it is possible to begin manasa Puja immediately, wherever the yogi is and whatever they are doing since it only requires use of the mind. It is a powerful way to get closer to and connect with the Divine. In the case of “Shiva Manasa Puja,” the god that the yogi is connecting with is Lord Shiva.

Pooja performed in the mind is called as Manas Pooja. Normally we perform Pooja in the temple or by sitting in front of God’s idol. But at the time of Shiv Manas Puja Stotra devotee of God will sit quietly in dhyanam position and with concentration he sees his beloved God in front of his third eye.

He will offer anything and everything (that God likes which may not be affordable to him) to the God. Since the Pooja is performed in the mind with concentration and with the feeling of God’s presence in front of devotee; it is of very much importance, pious and holy. Anyone can get anything he wishes, by performing manas Pooja daily and becomes Godlike.

The “Shiv Manas Puja Stotra” is considered to be a very beautiful text and form of worship, which not only describes and directs the yogi in the way they can devote themselves to Lord Shiva, but it also explains the benefits and experience of connecting to the Divine.
