Shiva, the supreme power of the universe, when worshipped with this mantra bestows health, wealth, long life and contentment. Shiva, the mighty soul sitting on the tiger skin. Shiva who holds the crescent moon on his head is the protector of both worlds. From His feet, the Earth has originated. He is the inner self of all beings. Worshipped as Shankara, the giver of blessings, he is auspicious and brings rest, peace and rejuvenation to body, mind and heart.
