Shiva Manasa Pooja Stotram is a devotional hymn by Shri Adi Shankaracharya. ‘Manasa pooja’ means is doing worship of the Lord without any external materials. The entire puja is imagined in the mind, including all the materials necessary for worship, and one offers all of these to the Lord as informal worship. This kind of worship is more powerful and demands concentration and mental participation.

Shiva Manasa Pooja Stotram Meaning in English
O Ocean of mercy, O master of bound creatures, I have imagined a throne of precious stones for you, cool water for you to bathe in, divine robes adorned with many jewels, sandalwood paste mixed with musk to anoint your body, jasmine, and Champaka flowers and bilva leaves, rare incense, and a shining flame. Accept all these which I have imagined in my heart for you, O God. || 1 ||
Sweet rice in a golden bowl inlaid with the nine jewels, the five kinds of food made from milk and curd, bananas, vegetables, sweet water scented with camphor, and betel leaf – I have prepared all these in my mind with devotion. O Lord, please accept them. || 2 ||
A Canopy, two yak-tail whisks, a fan and a spotless mirror, a veena, kettledrums, a mridang and a great drum, songs and dancing, full prostrations, and many kinds of hymns – all this I offer you in my imagination. O almighty Lord, accept this, my worship of you. || 3 ||
You are me; Parvati is my reason. My five pranas are your attendants, my body is your house, and all the pleasures of my senses are objects to use for your worship. My sleep is your state of samadhi. Whenever I walk I am walking around you, everything I say is in praise of you, everything I do is to honor you, O benevolent Lord. || 4 ||
Whatever offenses I have committed with my hands, feet, voice, body, actions, ears, eyes, or mind, whether prohibited or not, please forgive them all. Hail! Hail! O Ocean of compassion! O, great God! O, benevolent Lord! || 5 ||
