Shivashtakam | MahaShivRatri Prayer ✨

🪔 MahaShivRatri 🪔

Celebrating the infinite divine here is our offering of "Shivashtakam" written by
Saint Adi Shankaracharya and composed by Sri Nishanthala Surya Prakash Rao.

We treat it as a lifetime blessing to shoot this video at the historic Lepakshi Veera Bhadra Swamy Temple at Hindupur, Andhra Pradesh where Lord Sriram and Lakshmana are believed to have done penance seeking Lord Shivas Blessings, before leaving to Lanka.
It's also believed that Jatayu was given Moksha by Lord Sriram at this Holy abode which is located Enroute Puttaparthi from Bengaluru. If you find time, we wish you could experience the spiritual bliss of Lepakshi. Details are given below.

Find more details of Lepakshi here:

.
We thank our friend Giridhar Perabattula for his valuable guidance in making this video.
I'm really happy to have performed this video along with the wonderful dancer / choreographer friend of mine Rupesh K C. I'm also indebted to my dearest big brother Gopal Melarcode who guided me to this spiritual abode and played the cameo of archaka in this Musical.
