For devotees, chanting Namami Shamisaan brings peace, courage, and spiritual awakening, and strengthens one’s connection with the divine.
🔱 Namami Shamisaan Lyrics (Sanskrit)
नमामि शमीशान निर्वाण रूपं,
विभुं व्यापकं ब्रह्म वेदस्वरूपम्।
निजं निर्गुणं निर्विकारं निरीहं,
चिदाकाशमाकाशवासं भजेऽहम्॥
निराकारमोंकारमूलं तुरीयं,
गिरा ज्ञान गोतीतमीशं गिरीशम्।
करालं महाकाल कालं कृपालं,
गुणागार संसारपारं नतोऽहम्॥
तुषाराद्रि संकाश गौरं गभीरं,
मनोभूत कोटि प्रभा श्री शरीरम्।
स्फुरन्मौलि कल्लोलिनी चारुगंगा,
लसद्भाल नेत्रेश शंकर एकम्॥
गले रुण्डमालं तनौ सर्पजालं,
महाकाल कालं गणेशादि पालम्।
जटाजूट गंगोत्तरंगैर्विशालं,
सदाशंकरं भक्तिहृद्यान्विशुद्धम्॥
ओं नमः शिवाय ||
