sivabhajana

Shiv Bhajan at Stutimandal

(Click on the above link for the full poem)

Sample: With snake (coiled) around the neck and ash all over the body, Śiva is full of (divine) love. Immersed in the lotus-feet of the Sadguru, Śiva is in the state of Samādhi. He has three eyes which are filled with nectar, and He has a garland of skulls at his neck. Śiva stays naked and roams around blissfully with (His Consort) the fair-skinned Pārvatī.[1--2]

krsnachavi


Sample: My butter-stealer Krsnaa, Who is young and wins the mind, is appearing and roaming like a swan in the lake (of Vraja). The forests, creepers, fruits, flowers, and gardens of Vraja are shining forth due to the presence of Mukunda.[1]
