![]() Gale avalabhya lambithaam bhujanga tunga malikaam,ĭamaddamaddama ddama ninnadava damarvayam,Ĭhakara chanda tandavam tanotu na shivh shivam. Jatatavee galajjala pravaha pavitasthale, Shiva Tandava Mantra is a great prayer of Dancing Shiva and those who reads Siva Tandav Stotra at the end of every worship or, reads it after worship of Lord Shiva on the Pradosha day, will get by the blessing of Lord Shiva, and the affectionate sight of god of wealth. India’s great epic, the Ramayana, tells the story of this abduction and of the battle between Lord Rama and Ravana which shook the universe. Disdaining the seeming weakness of humans, Ravana abducted the wife of Rama, Lord Vishnu incarnate. In the final quatrain of the poem, after tiring of rampaging across the Earth, Ravana asks, “When will I be happy?” Because of the intensity of his prayers and ascetic meditation, of which this hymn was an example, Ravana received from Shiva the boon of indestructibility by all powers on heaven and earth - except by a human being. Both the fourth and fifth quatrains of this hymn conclude with lists of Shiva’s epithets as destroyer, even the destroyer of death itself. It was sung by the son of Rishi Vishrawas, Ravana whose brother is Kubera. Shiva Tandava Stotram is a hymn of praise in the Hindu tradition that describes Shiva’s power and beauty.
