Shri Shiv Ji is known as Devadhidev-Mahadev-Mahaesh. All Devatas including Shri Brahma and Shri Vishnu worship Shiv Ji and seek blessings, compassion and lasting peace from him. Shiv Ji is the most kind and compassionate Devata amongst all Devatas. Even with simple prayer, he very kindly bestows every possible fulfillment to his devotees.

Shri Shiv Sahasranam-1000 names describe 1000 qualities of Shiv Ji. Each name of Shankar Ji refers to a quality of consciousness. Listening Sahasranam enlivens these qualities of Mahadev in the consciousness of the listener and at the same time, these qualities are charged in the environment.

Shri Shiv Ashtottar Shatnamavali has 108 names of Shiv. These names are few of the most important qualities, which may be chanted while offering flowers or bilvapatra to Shiv Ji. Lingashtaka Stotra is a Siddha Stotra of Shiv, which brings coherent light of wisdom and removes all darkness from the life.

As described in phalshruti-benefits of chanting Shri Shiv Sahasranam and stotras, Devotees receive kindness, compassionate attention, uninterrupted lasting peace of mind and deep silence; they enjoy state of Samadhi- unity consciousness-the unbounded field of all possibilities.

Monday is known to be the day of Shiv Ji. It is recommended to listen Sahasranam and other stotras of Shiv Ji on Monday.
