Overview
The 108 Names of Lord Shiva (Shiva Ashtottara Shatanamavali) is a Sanskrit namavali listing 108 epithets of Lord Shiva drawn from Puranic and Shaivite texts. Each name identifies a specific attribute, form, or cosmic role of Shiva, and the list is one of the most widely used recitations in Shaiva puja practice across India.
What are the benefits of chanting 108 Names of Lord Shiva?
- Spiritual purification and removal of negative karma
- Removal of obstacles and harmful influences
- Bestowal of peace, prosperity, and well-being
- Deepening of devotion and connection with Lord Shiva
When is the best time to recite this?
The Shiva Ashtottara Shatanamavali is recited during morning and evening puja, during Shivaratri, throughout the month of Shravana, and on Pradosha days. It is appropriate at any time for personal Shiva worship.
What is the historical and traditional background?
The tradition of 108-name namavalis is widespread across Hindu devotional literature, reflecting the sacred significance of the number 108. Individual names in this list can be traced to the Shiva Purana, Linga Purana, and Mahabharata, though the standardized compilation of exactly 108 names is a product of devotional practice rather than a single textual source. These compilations became firmly established in the Bhakti period and are integral to daily Shiva puja in temples and households across Shaivite communities.
