Get rid of stress and anxiety by listening to the Shiv Chalisa

Like Hanuman Chalisa, the Shiva Chalisa is a hymn (stotra) containing 40 verses. Dedicated to Lord Shiva, who is also regarded as the destroyer of the evil (vices such as greed, pride, lust etc.), the Chalisa was penned by Ayodha Dass, is believed to be adapted from the Shiva Purana. Mondays or Somwar are dedicated to Lord Shiva, therefore, pay obeisance to him by reciting the Shiv Chalisa.

At a time, when the mind is stressed, and there's ambiguity about the future, one needs to keep calm. Shiv Chalisa shall help you get rid of anxiety by letting you focus on the Lord, who is mostly seen in a meditative posture.

Lrics of Shiv Chalisa, which begins and concludes with a Doha (couplet).


Doha

Shri Ganesha Girija suvan, Mangal mool sujaan,

Kehat Ayodhya Das tum, deu abhay vardan.


Chalisa:

Jai Girijapati deendeyala,

Sada karat santan pratipala

Bhaal chandrama sohat neeke 

Kaanan kundal naagphani ke 

Ang gaur shir gang bahaye 

Mundmaal tan chhaar lagaye

Vastra khaal baghambar sohe 

Chhavi ko dekhi naag muni mohe

Maina matu ki have dulari 

Baam ang sohat chhavi nyari

Kar trishul sohat chhavi bhari 

Karat sada shatrun Kshayakari 

Nandi Ganesha sohain tahu kaise 

Sagar madhya kamal hai jaise

Kartik Sham aur Ganrau 

Ya chhavi kau kahi jaat na kau

Devan jab hi jai pukara 

Tabhi dukh prabhu aap nivara

Kiya updarva tarak bhari 

Devan sab mili tumhi juhari

Turat shadanan aap pathayu 

Lava Nimesh maha mari girau

Aap Jalandhar asur sahara 

Suyash tumhaar vidit sansara

Tripurasur san yudh machai 

Sab hi kripa kar leen bachai

Kiya tap hi Bhagirath bhari 

Puran pratigya tasu purari 

Danin mahe tum sam kou nahi 

Sevak stuti karat sadahi

Ved naam mahima tab gaaye 

Akath anadi bhed nahi paaye

Prakat udadhi manthan mein jvala

Jarat Surasur bhae vihala

Kinhe daya tahe kari sahai 

Neelakanth tab naam kahai 

Pujan Ramchandra jab kinha

Jeet ke Lank Vibhishan dinha

Sahas kamal men ho rahe dhari 

Kinhe pariksha tabhi purari

Ek kamal prabhu rakhyo joyi 

Kamal nayan pujan chahe soi

Kathin bhakti dekhi prabhu Shankar 

Bhaye prasanna diye ichchita var 

Jai jai jai anant avinashi 

Karat kripa saba ke ghat vasi

Dusht sakal nit mohi satave 

Bhramat raho mohi chain ni aave

Trahi trahi main nath pukaro 

Yeh avasar mohi nath ubaro

Lai trishul shatrun ko maro 

Sankat te mohi aan ubharo 

Mata pita bhrata sab hoi

Sankat mein puchat nahi koi

Swami ek hai aas tumhari 

Aaye harahu mama sankat bhari

Dhan nirdhan ko det sadahi 

Jo koi janche so phal pahi

Astuti kehi vidhi karo tumhari 

Kshamahu nath abb chuk hamari

Shankar ho sankat ke nashan 

Mangal karan vighna vinashan

Yogi yati muni dhyan lagave 

Narad Sharad shish nivave

Namo namo jai namo Shivaye 

Sur brahmadik paar na paye

Jo yeh path kare mann layi

Ta par hot hain Shambhu sahai

Riniyan jo koi ho adhikari 

Path kare so pavan hari,

Putra heen kar ichcha koi 

Nishchae Shiv parsad tehi hoi

Pandit Trayodashi ko lave 

Dhyan purvak hom karave

Trayodashi vrat kare hamesha 

Tann nahi take rahe kalesha

Dhup deep naivedh chadhave 

Shankar samukh path sunave

Janam janam ke paap nasave 

Antvaas Shivapur mein pave

Kahat ayodhya aas tumhari 

Jani sakal dukh harhu hamari 


Doha
Nitt neim ker pratahi path karo chalisa, Tum meri manokamana puran karo jagdisha

Magsar chathi hemant ritu sanvat chausath jaan, stuti chalisa Shivahi, puran keen kalyan
