Shiv Manas Pooja : Mental worship of lord Shiva.

Stanza 1:
Please be seated on this diamond-studded throne that I have imagined.
Please bathe with this water that I have kept ready by catching falling snow.
Please wear these divine clothes that are studded with various jewels.
Please apply this sandalwood paste which is scented with musk.
Let me adorn you with this garland made of Chameli, Champa flowers and leaves of Bili.
I have drawn this colorful *rangoli and am burning incease and lighting a lamp.
O wealth (ocean) of kindness, God of all animals, please accept my this imaginary worship.

Chatra chamaryo yrugam vyajankam chadarshakam nirmalam
veena bheri mrudang kahal kala geetam cha nrutyam tatha |
Sashtanga pranathi stutir bahuvidha hetatsamastamaya
sankalpen samarpitam tava vibho pooja gruhan prabho || 3 ||
I am placing this *chatra white as the Moon, and dripping the nectar of immortality over your head. Fans are placed on your both sides. A beautiful mirror is placed in front of you.
Accompanied by instruments such as **Veena, dhol, Mrudang, we sing and dance to please you.
If we have left something unfulfilled in your service, then as an apology for that we sleep on the ground and bow to you and sing various hymns.
O God, we are offering you our mental worship, please accept it.
*Chatra - Umbrella held over Gods and kings by their servants, to protect them from Sun's heat. Later on it became a symbol of power and respect and was held over heads of Kings even when they were indoors.
**Veena - Traditional Indian stringed instrument, like guitar.
Dhol - Large Drum, played with sticks.
Mrudang - An instrument made by connecting bottoms of two drums. Hung in the neck and played by both hands.

Atma tvam girija mati sahachara prana shariram gruham
pooja te vishayopbhog rachana nindra samadhi sthiti |
Sanchar padayo pradikshinvidhi strotrani sarva giro

Stanza 4:
You are the soul. Mind is your wife, Girija-Parvati. Breath is your disciples who are always with you. This body is your temple. Enjoying pleasures with this body is your worship. Walking with our feet is like *pradakshina and words coming out of our mouths are your hymns.
O God, whatever I do is like worshipping you.
*pradakshina - Going round a temple or a deity or a holy place or a person in clock-ise direction is called pradakshina.
