Shiva Tandavam Stotram



It is important to chant this stotram properly. Many of us chant this mantra without understanding its essence. You must first listen to Shiva Tandava Stotram until you comprehend the pronunciation.

After you've finished listening, keep practicing by playing it again and again, it will help you learn and remember the stotram quickly.

Once familiar with the stotram try to learn and understand the meaning.

Ravana, the Asura (demon) king of Lanka (also known as Lankeshwar), authored the Shiva Tandava Stotram spontaneously ages ago. He was an illustrious scholar endowed with intelligence and a devout follower of Lord Shiva. This stotram was sung in praise of the Lord, pleading for moksha.

The Shiva Tandava Stotram depicts Lord Shiva's cosmic dance, which purges all evil energy. The hymn is composed of 15 verses, each of which emphasizes Shiva's fierce personality and timeless beauty in great detail. The verses (lyrics) and their meaning can be found towards the end.

Shiva is addressed as Bholenath, it means one who is innocent and easy to please.

According to tradition, anyone who praised Lord Shiva or conducted penance with faith and dedication received a boon. All the demons took advantage of this and worshipped Lord Shiva, knowing that pleasing him and receiving a boon was easy.

Ravana, who was a great priest, administrator, warrior, and devotee of Lord Shiva, he was known as the king of demons.  He adored himself and his abilities.

The narrative of Shiva Tandava Stotram begins on the day Ravana attempted to lift the Kailash mountain in his hand to carry Lord Shiva to Sri Lanka with him. As a punishment, Lord Shiva pushed his toe, crushing Ravana's fingers in the process. Ravana screamed out in agony. To escape from the wrath of Lord Shiva, Ravana sang a hymn that came to be known as the popular Shiva Tandava Stotram.

Lord Shiva was engrossed in the music of Ravana and became immensely pleased. When Lord Shiva told Ravana to ask for a boon, Ravana requested that the Lord confer him with the most powerful tool and thus, became indestructible.

Chanting Shiva Tandava Stotram has a plethora of advantages. The Shiva Tandava Stotram, when chanted or listened to, bestows enormous power, beauty, and mental strength. It is stated that chanting the stotram clears the atmosphere of all negative forces and makes it auspicious.

The Shiva Tandava Stotram has no set time and can be recited by anyone at any time. There are, however, some unique advantages to reciting it at these times:

   During eclipse: It is stated that chanting Om Namah Shivaya or Shiva Tandava Stotram during an eclipse lessens all of the planets' negative effects. Chanting, meditating, or praying during the eclipse is a hundred times more beneficial than at other times.

   During Brahma Muhurta (Brahma means knowledge and muhurta means period): It is considered that whatever activity one conducts during Brahma Muhurta would be beneficial. Brahma Muhurta is the best time to perceive knowledge, and it has a significant impact. It reduces the amount of energy consumed and doubles productivity.

   Pradosh Vrat: Pradosh Kaal is the time of the month that falls on the 13th day and is also known as Trayodashi tithi. This tithi falls fortnightly. It is said that chanting Shiva Tandava Stotram on every Trayodashi tithi helps burn sins. 


Note Pradosh Kaal varies according to different locations.

And who has the crescent moon as a jewel on his head.

Which fall from the heads of all the gods – Indra, Vishnu and others.

My interest is in Lord Shiva, who has three eyes,
Who offered the powerful God of Love to fire.
The terrible surface of his forehead burns with the sound “Dhagad, Dhagad …”
He is the only artist expert in tracing decorative lines
on the tips of the breasts of Parvati, the daughter of the mountain king.

May Lord Shiva give us prosperity,
The one who bears the weight of this universe,
Who is enchanting with the moon,

I pray to Lord Shiva, whose neck is bound with the brightness of the temples
hanging with the glory of fully bloomed blue lotus flowers,
Which look like the blackness of the universe.
Who is the slayer of Manmatha, who destroyed the Tripura,
Who destroyed the bonds of worldly life, who destroyed the sacrifice,
Who destroyed the demon Andhaka, who is the destroyer of the elephants,
And who has overwhelmed the God of death, Yama.

I pray to Lord Siva, who has bees flying all around because of the sweet
Scent of honey coming from the beautiful bouquet of auspicious Kadamba flowers,
Who is the slayer of Manmatha, who destroyed the Tripura,
Who destroyed the bonds of worldly life, who destroyed the sacrifice,
Who destroyed the demon Andhaka, who is the destroyer of the elephants,
And who has overwhelmed the God of death, Yama.

Shiva, whose dance of Tandava is in tune with the series of loud
sounds of drum making the sound “Dhimid Dhimid”,
Who has fire on his great forehead, the fire that is spreading out because of the
breath of the snake, wandering in whirling motions in the glorious sky.

When will I be able to worship Lord Sadashiva, the eternally auspicious God,
With equanimous vision towards people or emperors,
Towards a blade of grass and a lotus, towards friends and enemies,
Towards the most precious gem and a lump of dirt,
Toward a snake or a garland and towards the varied forms of the world?

Kada nilimpanirjhari nikujnjakotare vasanh
Vimuktadurmatih sada shirah sthamajnjalim vahanh
Vimuktalolalochano lalamabhalalagnakah
Shiveti mantramuchcharan sada sukhi bhavamyaham ||13||

When I can be happy, living in a cave near the celestial river Ganga,
Bringing my hands clasped on my head all the time,
With my impure thoughts washed away, uttering the mantra of Shiva,
Devoted to the God with a glorious forehead and with vibrant eyes?

Imam hi nityameva muktamuttamottamam stavam
Pathansmaran bruvannaro vishuddhimeti santatam
Hare gurau subhaktimashu yati nanyatha gatim
Vimohanam hi dehinam sushankarasya chintanam ||14||

Anyone who reads, remembers and recites this stotra as stated here
Is purified forever and obtains devotion in the great Guru Shiva.
For this devotion, there is no other way or refuge.
Just the mere thought of Shiva removes the delusion.

Yah shambhupujanaparam pathati pradoshhe
Tasya sthiram rathagajendraturangayuktam
Lakshmim sadaiva sumukhim pradadati shambhuh ||15||

To him who is Steadfast in this Worship; will come Chariots Yoked with King of Elephants and Horses (signifying Prosperity) and Devi Lakshmi will Always show Her Graceful Face to him. Sri Shambhu will Bestow this Boon.
