The Lingashtakam is an octet composed by Adi Shankaracharya praising the Lingam. This is a small attempt to render this soul-stiring Ashtakam. Find the meaning below.

I bow before that Sada Shiva Lingam, 
Which is worshipped by Brahma, Vishnu and other Gods,
Which is pure and resplendent,
And which destroys sorrows arising out of birth and death. .1.

I bow before that Sada Shiva Lingam,
Which is worshipped by great sages and devas,
The destroyer of Kama, Linga, the compassionate,
And which destroyed the pride of Ravana. .2.

I bow before that Sada Shiva Lingam, 
Which is well annointed with all fragrances,
Which leads to growth of wisdom,
And which is worshipped by sages, devas and asuras. .3.

I bow before that Sada Shiva Lingam,
Which is ornamented by gold and jewels,
Which is radiant and who has the king of serpents, coiled around him,
And which destroyed the Yagna of Daksha. .4.

I bow before that Sada Shiva Lingam, 
Which is smeared with sandal paste and saffron,
Which is decorated with garland of lotus flowers,
And which can destroy accumulated sins. .5.

I bow before that Sada Shiva Lingam, 
Which is is worshipped by gods and other beings,
Which is the doorway for devotion and good thought,
And whose splendor is like millions of Suns. .6.

I bow before that Sada Shiva Lingam, 
Which is enveloped with eight-fold petals,
Which is the cause of all creation,
And which destroys eight types of poverty. .7.

I bow before that Sada Shiva Lingam, 
Which is worshipped by the gurus of gods,
Which is worshipped by the best of gods,
Which is always worshipped by the flowers,
From the garden of Gods,
Which is the eternal abode,
And which is the ultimate truth. .8.

Any one who chants the holy octet of the Lingam,
In the holy presence of Lord Shiva,
Would in the end reach the world of Shiva,
And keep him company.

Prabhavisnu Das, Hare Krishna Kirtan

"I always long to remain in your presence, oh lord", yearns Gopalakrishna Bharati, the 18th century Carnatic composer,  in this ode to #Shiva. Enjoy this rendition by #SoundsofIsha played during one of the darshans with Sadhguru.

Lyrics and Meaning:

Enneramum undan sannidhiyile naan 
irukka venum ayya, Ponnayya

Let me, at all times, remain in your presence, oh divine being...
 
Thennam sholai thazhaikkum 
thenpuliyur Ponnambalattarase en arase naan
 
In these flourishing groves of your holy abode!
 
Panchakshara padiyum kodikambamum 
koyilazhagum aridhaana rahasiyamum
 
The 5 sacred stairs, the temple flag-staff
The beauty, the invaluable secrets of your abode...
 
Anjal koorum dheerga manigal osaiyum 
andhakarana mayakkam theerndhu paadikkondu
 
And the inviting sound of the temple bells
Had kept me enchanted..
 
Dispelled of this enchantment, I continue singing in your praise!
