Hi Vineela,
Thanks for your nice comments. There was a shiva temple near my house and every Monday morning they used to play this on the loud speaker. I do say this every Monday morning now.
May Lord Shiva bless everyone.

HELP!! I have just returned from India and a friend was playing the Lingastakham sung by SP Balasubramaniam – which I love. He said it was on a dvd and actually had about 2.5 hours of songs on it. Can someone tell me what dvd it may have been and where I can buy it? I have an Apple Mac and cannot access any of the links I can find on the web site. Thank you. David

Dear Meera
Is there a source where Lingashtakam – Shiva Stuthi is in kannada language?
Thanks,
shwetha
Posted by meeraghu on November 10, 2008 at 12:41 pm
Hi Shwetha,
Not one I have found on the web. However, I do have it in one of my books, it has just few paragraphs. I will take an image and post the same.
Posted by shwetha on November 10, 2008 at 1:08 pm
Thanks a lot Meera for the quick response..
I tried searching(online) for Hanuman chalisa lyrics in kannada, but in vain..
I recently got the Baraha software. As I did not want to reinvent the wheel! I thought I will 1st check with you. If its not available I can write using Baraha s/w as n when I find time and post it to your collection of Lyrics..
This blog of yours is awesome!
regards,
shwetha
Posted by meeraghu on November 10, 2008 at 1:13 pm
That is a really good idea, Shwetha. Please send it along, I will post it here giving all the credit to you.
Shwetha, I tried something new this time, it seems like it worked. Take a look and let me know.
Posted by shwetha on November 10, 2008 at 4:06 pm
Hey Meera
Thats great and really neat too! Hats off to you,..that was very quick!
Thanks a lot again I saved the pdf as well as made a copy!
regards,
shwetha
Posted by shwetha on November 11, 2008 at 12:04 am
hi Meera,
I have saved Hanuman Chalisa (in kannada) in a word document.Need your help to post it here..
I can forward you the word document as well my e-mail id is shwetha_shwetha@hotmail.com
Posted by Seena Suresh on November 12, 2008 at 3:55 am
Thanks so much for sharing all the wonderful lyrics! It’s really helpful. Is there any malayalm version for this prayer.
Thanks & regards
Seena Suresh
Posted by meeraghu on November 12, 2008 at 7:38 am
Hi Seena Suresh,
If you are using windows, you should be easily able to download the Baraha software and install the same in minutes. Once you have it up and running, converting any lyrics from this blog will be so easy.
Since I don’t know Malayalam, I am unable to do so.

Hey Meera,
Thank you for posting the lyrics. I did find the lyrics, but not with so many compliments added to them. Good work. I love this song so much that I hear all day long in the month of karthika maasam… just now I downloaded the mp3 version of this, so that i can upload it to my ipod. May Lord Shiva bless us all! I am adding some urls for the lingashtakam
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ffd2Ni01BcA – it shows all the lingams of Lord Shiva including the one in Amarnath. This a superb video. I just love it…

Shashi,
When you say copyright, does it mean by you?
Posted by Rajesh NJ on December 21, 2008 at 3:54 pm
Hi Meera,
Thanks for the lyrics of this divine song…….. But if I can point out in this stanza :
“Suraguru Suravara Poojitha Lingam
Suravana Pushpa Sadarchitha Lingam
Paraath Param Paramatmaka Lingam
Tatpranamaami Sadaashiva Lingam”
it should be ‘Parama’ rather than Paraath
Good job, keep it up.
Cheers – Rajesh !!

this sloka is the shivas damaru which awakens the whole human kind,the sloka is very useful for children in particular as it got much rhytm and the child building their moral life. i wish every one should follow the sloka and respect our culture.
