The Shiva-mahim-nastotra is probably the most beloved, most well-known and most magnificent hymn for Shiva. It's something that's recited by millions of people, Hindus in India and elsewhere every day. Om, asat-omah-sad-gammaya, tama-sumah-jutir- gammaya, mrit-ur-ma-amritam-gammay,. om-shanti-shanti -ohm, leaders from darkness and to light, leaders from death to immortality. So I'm going to talk about that.
Shiva Mahimna Stotra is a Sanskrit composition in the devotion to Shiva that is believed to have been composed by a Gandharva named Pushpadanta. It lists Shiva's various achievements and qualities. Swami Sarvapriyananda speaks on these verses on the auspicious occasion of Shivaratri.
