Shiv Chalisa (Medium Size)

Traditionally mantras are to be chanted as instructed by a Guru. In reality, Shiva is the The GREATEST Guru and according to him, all your answers lie within your own self. So follow your instinct, follow your calling to chant the mantras.
If you can follow a ritual with it, its effects will manifest manifold. The best time to chant is the early morning before sunrise and at sunset. However you chant, you will always receive the blessings. Chant one mantra at one time and follow it until you feel you have ‘absorbed’ it.
A seating of 108 times is best and it’s best to chant in multiples of 108. Before chanting, get a comfortable seating with a Shiv Linga in front of you if possible. Otherwise, just close your eyes and imagine one inside your head. Calm the mind and start the chant. May you praise Lord Shiva with all your heart and receive his divine blessings!
