Kalki Krita Shiva Stotram

In this hymn from the Kalki Purana, Lord Kalki praises Lord Shiva as the supreme origin of the cosmos. He first worships Shiva as Gaurinatha, Vishwanatha, the ultimate refuge, and the one adorned with Vasuki on His neck. Shiva is the three-eyed, five-faced, ancient Lord, overflowing with bliss and compassion.

Shiva is the master of yoga, the destroyer of desire, the fierce one, and the bearer of the holy Ganga upon His matted locks. He is Mahakala, who transcends time, and Chandrabhala, whose crescent moon radiates peace. Shiva dwells in cremation grounds, surrounded by spirits, armed with weapons that destroy evil. His righteous anger dissolves the worlds of the wicked.

He is the source of the five elements, the subtle principles, time, action, and nature. Creating the world, giving life, and dissolving everything into Brahman, Shiva rejoices in His infinite consciousness. Vishnu, the sustainer, and all gods exist as manifestations of His will.

By His command the winds blow, the fire burns, the sun shines, the moon cools, and the stars move. His breath sustains the earth, brings rain, nourishes oceans and mountains, and governs all worlds from the center of Meru. Kalki finally offers complete surrender to this cosmic and universal Shiva.
