PRAYER TO SHANKAR


Karacharana Kritam Vaa Kaayajam Karmajam Vaa Shravana Nayanajam Vaa Maanasam Vaa Paraadham
Vihitama Vihitam Vaa Sarvame Tat Kshamasva
Jaya Jaya Karunaabdhe Shri Mahaadeva Shambho

O Lord, kindly forgive all the wrong acts and omissions I have committed, whether I committed them knowingly or unknowingly, with my hands, feet, words, ears, eyes, or mind. Glory to you, Mahadeva, who is the ocean of kindness and compassion, and the cause of happiness. Before going to sleep, one ends the day with this prayer. One asks the Lord for forgiveness for wrong acts that one may have knowingly or unknowingly committed during the day.
