About This Stotram
Overview
The 100 Names of Lord Shiva (Shiva Shatanamavali) is a Sanskrit namavali listing one hundred epithets of Lord Shiva, each identifying a specific attribute, form, or cosmic role — including names such as Rudra, Nilakantha, Kapardin, and Vyomakesha. It belongs to the Shaiva devotional tradition and is used in puja and daily worship as a compact recitation of Shiva's divine qualities.
What are the benefits of chanting 100 Names of Lord Shiva?
- Invocation of Shiva's grace and blessings through the power of his sacred names
- Removal of obstacles and negative influences
- Promotion of inner peace and spiritual focus
- Accumulation of merit associated with Shiva worship
When is the best time to recite this?
Morning and evening are standard times for namavali recitation in Shaivite practice. Maha Shivaratri, the month of Shravana, and Pradosha days are particularly auspicious occasions for chanting the Shiva Shatanamavali.
What is the historical and traditional background?
Namavali compositions — structured lists of divine names for use in ritual offering — are a well-established sub-genre of Sanskrit devotional literature found across the Puranas and Tantric texts. The Shiva Shatanamavali draws on the extensive tradition of Shiva epithets documented in the Shiva Purana, Linga Purana, and Mahabharata, though this specific compiled list of one hundred names does not trace to a single scriptural source. It has been in use in Shaivite devotional practice for centuries as a concise alternative to the full Shiva Sahasranama.
