| I want to use Jai Uttal's music in my class, but I also want to know what he's saying first. Does anyone know what he's chanting in the song "Mahadeva"? I have done a search for his lyrics, but I can't find them. I'm hoping somone can tell what he's saying just by listening, then possibly interpret? |

Location: Upstate NY | He is singing Kirtan which is Hindu devotional hymns.
Mahadeva is another name for Shiva
Mahadeva - The Supreme Lord : Maha = great, Deva = God - more often than not, the Aghora (fierce) version
I do not know the lyrics to this particular Kirtan but whatever they are, they are about giving devotion to Lord Siva.
Om Shanti,
Ravi

| Dear Ravi,
You are correct, he is singing to Shiva.
The complete translation of the kirtan is:
"Victory to Shiva, the God of destruction, and transformation, the embodiment of auspiciousness, the remover of ignorance".
