Sri Shiva Astottara Shatanama Stotram Sampoornam
Benefits of Chanting Shiva Ashtottara Shatanama Stotram
To experience the pure ecstasy of the deity Shiva, it is advised to meditate on this stotram three times every day (during tri sandhya’s).
Reciting this stotram while worshipping the deity Shiva with bilva leaves or flowers will also be extremely beneficial to the devotee.
The Shiva Ashtottara Shatanama Stotram is equally or even more powerful and beneficial to reciting the Rudram namakam’s.
Since Goddess Parvati herself recited this stotram while performing the penance necessary to win back God Shiva as her husband, it has acquired tremendous significance.
