Shivaratri, closing ceremony

This gathering focuses on the power of Śiva chants and devotion. The decorated Śivaliṅga embodies divine artistry. Salutations are offered to the remover of obstacles, the blue-throated lord of the universe. The single-syllable mantra, chanted with devotion, grants Śiva’s presence and ends sorrow. Mother Gāyatrī is praised by moon and sun, ever honored without obstacles. Past bondage dissolves and death is transcended through Śiva’s grace. The Mahāmṛtyuñjaya mantra liberates from death’s grip. Repeated chanting of Namaḥ Śivāya purifies the mind. When the mind becomes pure, Mahādeva awakens pure intellect. Living in truth brings the Lord’s supreme grace. The Guru is Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Maheśvara; meditation on the Guru’s form is the root of all. The universal prayer leads from falsehood to truth, darkness to light, death to immortality. Well-being, prosperity, and happiness are invoked for all beings. The doer of all actions is the Lord, not the individual self. Meditation on Śiva as compassion incarnate, ever dwelling in the heart with Bhavānī, is offered. Victory is proclaimed to the Sadgurus and eternal dharma. Each step of circumambulation destroys the sins of many births.

> “Tryambakaṁ yajāmahe sugandhiṁ puṣṭivardhanam urvārukamiva bandhanān mṛtyor mukṣīya māmṛtāt.”

> “Lead me from asat to sat. Lead me from tamas to jyoti. Lead me from death to amṛta.”

I suspect the bandit adorning the Śivaliṅga has a daytime job as a cake decorator, or something similar. The artistry is quite impressive. The next pūjā begins in fifteen minutes, so we should not spend much time here. Salutations to the One who is the essence of the Vedas, the remover of obstacles, the blue‑throated one, the elder among the gods, the lord of the universe, the hunter of the mind. Salutations to Vasiṣṭha, born of the ocean, the great sage. Salutations to Indra Deva, the One, the son of Gavaiśva Naralau; to that supreme Śiva. This single‑syllable mantra, when chanted with devotion, grants one the presence of Śiva, the abode of Śiva, and one does not suffer in Śiva’s realm. It brings joy to the devotees, dispels sorrow, and, by bringing happiness to the beloved, removes all distress. Mother Gāyatrī, may You be seen with the wise and the noble; may You be praised by all beings, by the moon and the sun alike. May You be honored with steadfast devotion, free from all obstacles, and may Your divine words ever be present. Manodrasya Dheera, Anvali, Veeru, Natyona, Rasmina. The bondage of past actions is destroyed, death is transcended, O Śiva of Kāśī, Śiva of Kāśī, Kāśikāśi, Śivasva, this Pārvatī of old, Hara Hara, fully uplifted. > Tryambakaṁ yajāmahe sugandhiṁ puṣṭivardhanam > urvārukamiva bandhanān mṛtyor mukṣīya māmṛtāt. > > Śivakkāśi Śivakkāśi Kāśikāśi Śivasivā > trāhi māṁ Pārvatīnātha sar Oṁ Namaḥ Śivāya, Hare Hare Bhole Namaḥ Śivāya, Oṁ Namaḥ Śivāya, Hare Hare Bhole Namaḥ Śivāya, Hare Hare Bhole Namashivāya, Namashivāya, Oṁ Namashivāya, Har Har Bhole Namashivāya Oṁ Namashivāya, Har Har Bhole Namashivāya Oṁ Namashivāya, Oṁ Namashivāya, Har Har Bhole Namashivāya Namashivāya Har Har Bhole Namashivāya Namashivāya, Oṁ Namashivāya, Har Har Bhole Namashivāya, Namashivāya, Oṁ Namashivāya, Namashivāya, Namashivāya, Oṁ Namashivāya, Hare Hare Bhole Namashivāya Namashivāya Oṁ Namashivāya Hare Hare Bhole Namashivāya Namashivāya Oṁ Namashivāya Hare Hare Bhole Namashivāyo Namashivāye Har Har Bole… Clap four times.

By realizing the truth, one lives in Śiva; by living in truth, one receives the grace of the Lord. O Bābā, bestow your supreme grace! Mahādeva, Svideva, Purīṣa Vadutatama, the complete embodiment of Śiva, has arrived. Your divine manifestation, O Prabhudī, your manifestation of Śiva, is sung in the āratī by the noble devotees.
