Meaning:

O Most Beloved Divine Lord Sai Shiva, Thou art The Most Auspicious, Supreme Divine Lord of The Entire Cosmos and art The Destroyer of our sins. Thou art Most Auspicious and art Draped in The Tiger Skin. Thy Body is Adorned Beautifully with Vibhuti and The Crescent Moon Adorns Thy Forehead. Vibhuti or The Holy Ash is Symbolic of The Ultimate Reality, which remains when the Gross of Ego is Burnt away, by the Fire of Divine Illumination. It is the symbol of Detachment. Thou hast within Thee, The Brilliance and Tranquility of The Full Moon and Thou Purifies the restless mind. Thou has The Holy River Mother Ganga in Thy Matted Locks. Thou Loves to Dance Thy Divine Cosmic Dance – Tandava. Through Thy Dance of Joy The Entire Creation Functions. It is Thy Presence, that instills Rhythm and Bliss. Thou brings about Dissolution on earth, at the end of each era, and Thou Dances Most Victoriously. Thy Cosmic Dance, is the source of all movements, within The Cosmos and within each one of us, at The Atomic Level, at every moment. Thy Divine Dance Reflects Five Activities i.e. Creation, Protection, Destruction, Involution and Release. O Lord Shiva, when the poison came out of The Ocean, during ‘The Sagar Manthan’ or the Churning of The Ocean it was so dreadful, that it would have destroyed the entire world, but Thou Drank it all and Stored it in Thy Throat, inorder to save the world. Thou has the poison in Thy Throat –hence it looks blue and so Thou art called Neela Kantha or the ONE Who holds the deadly poison.
