Sri Ramanatha Stotram by Lakshmana

This sacred hymn, known as Ramanatha Stotram, appears in the Skanda Purana (Brahma Khanda, Setu Khanda). It was composed by Lakshmana, the brother of Lord Rama, in reverence to Lord Rameshwara (Ramanatha Shiva) — the deity worshipped by Lord Rama before crossing the ocean to Lanka.

Lakshmana praises Shiva as:
    •    The destroyer of the Tripuras (Tripuraghna),
    •    The consort of Parvati (Parvati Jeevitesha),
    •    The father of Ganesha and Skanda,
    •    The one with Sun, Moon, and Fire as eyes,
    •    The protector of Markandeya,
    •    The cause of creation, preservation, and dissolution of the universe.

He ends his prayer seeking everlasting devotion to Lord Shiva in every birth, wherever he may be reborn.

Essence:
Chanting this Stotram removes sins, fears, poverty, and mental afflictions, bestowing divine grace, strength, and devotion to both Lord Shiva and Lord Rama.
