Raghupati Raghava Raja Ram sung by new yoga teachers

Shambho Mahadeva Chandra Chuda is a very popular Shiva kirtan sung by Ishwara in a satsang at Yoga Vidya www.yoga-vidya.de in Bad Meinberg. It typically begins very calmly and meditatively and can then be sung faster and more dynamically with each repetition. Although Shambho Mahadeva Chandrachuda has many different words, it is still easy to learn. It contains all the popular names and epithets of Shiva, and the melody is very catchy. 

The Kirtan

Shambho Mahadeva ChandrachudaShambho Mahadeva ChandrachudaGangadhara Hara KailasavasaPahi Mam Parvati Ramana

Spiritual translation

Oh Shiva, I take refuge in you. Oh Shiva, you give me so much good (Shambhu). Oh great God, you carry the moon on your head (love in your mind). You great benefactor, always auspicious, connected with the divine mother. You carry the Ganga, you take away all attachments, you dwell on Mount Kailash (can be experienced in meditation). Oh Shiva, beloved of Parvati, please protect me.
