Shiva Thandava Stotram


|| Shiva Thandava Stotram By Ravana ||

Once the proud Ravana, the demon king of Lanka, conquered entire India and approached Mount Kailash on top of which Lord Shiva resides with his consort Goddess Parvathi. Ravana called to Lord Shiva to come down. When he did not, he uprooted the mountain with his 20 hands. This made Goddess Parvathi jittery. Then Lord Shiva pressed down the mountain with his thumb. Ravana was crushed by the weight of the mountain. There he praised Lord Shiva by singing the Sama Veda and this great stotra. Lord Shiva was pleased and pardoned him.
