Sivamahimna Stotra | Pushpadantha | Kavalam Srikumar |

Siva Mahimna Stotram | शिवमहिम्न:स्तोत्र | Pushpadantha | Kavalam Srikumar |
The thought behind the composition is ‘Enumerating the greatness of Shiva’, being a typical frame of devotion and dedication. In the verses of the Stotram lie stories about various great acts of the Mahadeva. The famous and oft-repeated Sanskrit shloka Asiti girisamam..., which means ‘if an ocean is made the inkpot, the branch of the mythical Parijata tree made the pen and Goddess Saraswati (The Goddess of Knowledge) embarks to write the glory of Lord (Shiva), it still will be impossible to comprehend the greatness of the Lord fully’ - is among the verses of this stotra.
"Anyone who recites this hymn with a pure heart and devotion will be blessed with fame,wealth , long life , and many children in this mortal world, and will attain Kailas (Shiva's abode) after death. Benefit of singing Shivmahimna stotra is far greater than either the benefit of spiritual initiation, charity, austerity , pilgrimage , knowledge of the scriptures , or the performance of ceremonial sacrifice ."
The Shiva Mahimna Stotra is very popular among the devotees of Lord Shiva and is considered one of the best among all Stotras (or Stutis) offered to Lord Shiva .The legend about the circumstances leading to the composition of this Stotra is as follows.
A king named Chitraratha had constructed a nice garden . There were beautiful flowers in this garden. These flowers were used every day by the king in worshipping Lord Shiva.
One day a Gandharva (Singer in the court of Indra, the Lord of the Heaven) named PuShpadanta being fascinated by the beautiful flowers, began to steal them, as a consequence of which king Chitraratha could not offer flowers to Lord Shiva . He tried very hard to capture the thief, but in vain, because the Gandharvas have divine power to remain invisible.
Finally the king spread the Shiva NirmAlya in his garden . Shiva NirmAlya consists of the Bilva leaves, flowers, et cetera which have been used in worshipping Lord Shiva . The Shiva NirmAlya is
considered holy. The thief PuShpadanta, not knowing this, walked on the Shiva NirmAlya, and by that he incurred the wrath of Lord Shiva and lost the divine power of invisibility . He then designed a prayer to Lord Shiva for forgiveness. In this prayer he sung the greatness of the Lord.
This very prayer became well known as the `Shiva Mahimna Stotra'. Lord Shiva became pleased by this Stotram and returned PuShpadanta's divine powers.
The legend has some basis since the name of the author is mentioned in verse number 38 of the stotraMm The recital of this stotra is very beneficial, and Shri Ramakrishna, one of the famous saints of the nineteenth century, went into samadhi just by reciting a few verses from this hymn.
