Bheeshma expresses his inability to the same and requests Lord Krishna to teach it to Yudishtra. In the Mahabaratha version (which I am giving here) Yudishtra after hearing the Vishnu Sahasranama from Bheeshma requests him also to teach the thousand names of Lord Shiva. There are two versions of Shiva sahasranama-one in lInga Purana (Being taught by Lord Krishna to sage Markandeya) and the other which occurs in Anushasanika Parva of Mahabaratha. Translation and transliteration By P.R.Ramachander Shiva Sahasranamam – Thousand names of Lord Shiva from Mahabaratha I shall post a link to his complete translation of Shiva Sahasranama as below. I have immense respect on a devotee Mr.Ramachander who does seva by translating various Hindu Mantra and Sloka. Shiva Sahasranamam is the sacred thousands names of Lord Shiva. Before I went to this temple, the goddess came in my dream.

In 2009, when I went to Vaitheeswaran Temple near Chidambaram in Tamilnadu, I offered a garland to the Goddess.

Goddess Parvathi in the form of Thaiyal Nayagi Amman giving darshan between the holy head of Nandhi I truly feel very divine in my chest when I go to Shiva temples and also when I listen to his sacred Mantra.I shall show you a Photo I took of Lord Shiva in the form of Vaitheeswaran taken during Kumbabishekam of the temple. I have read in the sacred book of Saint Shri Padha Sri Vallabha that a devotee who worships Lord Shiva and Partvathi during evenings and especially during the evening of Pradosham that comes on Saturday, their sins will be washed away. In 2005, I used to regularly visit Shiva temples during pradosham and if its a Pradosham that comes on Saturday, its very auspicious. In our colony itself they have built Vaidheeswaran temple with Goddess Thaiyalnayagi Amman and now a days my father and his friends are doing Seva in the temple most of their time. Every morning he does Abishekam for a Shiva Lingam in our house with water and regularly visits the near by Shiva temple called Virundheeswarar temple. My Father is my inspiration for worshiping Lord Shiva from my childhood.
