    Singing the devotional hymn Shri Shiva Manasa Puja, and absorbing one’s mind in its
    meaning, offers a powerful way to evoke the presence of Lord Shiva.

    This hymn is attributed to the eighth-century spiritual Master Adi Shankaracharya and
    has been sung in Siddha Yoga Ashrams since Baba Muktananda introduced it to the daily
    schedule in the 1960s, along with the recitation of Shri Shiva Mahimna Stotram. Verses
    4 and 5 of Shri Shiva Manasa Puja are also regularly recited by Siddha Yogis as they
    begin their offering of seva, dedicating their actions in service to the Guru and God.

    This hymn has always been a favorite of mine. Listening to it just now brought me right back to my life in the
    Ashram where we sang it every night before retiring.

    As I listened today, I closed my eyes and allowed myself to revel in a warm surge of love welling up from within.
    For me, this love is the essence of gratitude, inspiring me to offer pranam with reverence.

    The verses of Shri Shiva Manasa Puja remind me of stages in my sadhana. In the beginning stages, I offered
    tangible and beautiful gifts: oils, flowers, incense.

    Then, as in verse four, I became aware that offering my actions, especially through the practice of seva, is the
    greatest of the offerings I can make. And, once I realized this, I didn’t stop making tangible offerings; I simply
    added them to my offering of seva. I found that bringing all of the offerings under the umbrella of seva made seva
    and those offerings sweeter and more endearing.

    For over thirty years, I worked as a high school classroom educator. Each day I would arrive at my classroom at
    least an hour early, so that I could unlock a special cabinet that I had turned into a puja. Before I performed any
    task related to my job, I would stand before my altar and sing the Sri Shiva Manasa Puja with devotion. Regardless
    of what happened during the course of the day, I always felt the protection and grace of this practice.

    Thank you, beloved Gurumayi, for giving me access to such a powerful and meaningful prayer.
