Stotra Path (स्तोत्र पाठ)

॥ श्री शिव ताण्डव धुन ॥

डमरू डम डम डम डमरू बाजे

शिव शंकर का डमरू बाजे।

त्रिपुरारि महादेव ताण्डव करें

सृष्टि संहार का तांडव करें॥

गंगा जटा में बहती जाए

चन्द्र ललाट पे शोभा पाए।

नागेन्द्र कण्ठ में लिपटे हुए

भस्म शरीर पे पुता हुआ॥

डम डम डम डम डमरू बाजे।

नन्दी पे बैठे भोलेनाथ

त्रिशूल हाथ में डमरू साथ।

कैलास शिखर पे विराजमान

समाधि में लीन जगत कल्याण॥

ओम् नमः शिवाय ओम् नमः शिवाय

हर हर महादेव शम्भो शंकर।

ओम् नमः शिवाय ओम् नमः शिवाय

जय जय शिव शम्भो॥

नटराज रूप में नृत्य करें
