Hara Gangā Jatādhara Gauri Shankara

Your matted long locks of hair carry the holy river Ganges. You delight the mind of Girijā, the Divine Mother in Her birth as Umā, daughter of the mountain-king Himavan. You are the victor over death, God of gods. Your sacred Feet are the most auspicious place of existence. You wear snakes around Your body – they show You are the Master of death. You ride the faithful bull, Your ever devoted servant, Nandi, who represents dharma, the eternal laws of life. You are the source of incomparable Divine qualities. Charming dancer whose throat is blue! Lord with the entrancing lotus eyes!
